When I think about youth, I think about the child welfare system. There is a link between MMIWG and Canada's child welfare system. Also, how can we be empowering youth? It's about having more preventative measures within our communities. I mentioned before that we need more supports in our grassroots communities. We need human, technological and fiscal capacities in order to lead and protect our communities in good ways.
To answer your question, there need to be more culturally appropriate services and youth empowerment initiatives within communities in order to empower our children, youth and families, and also our men, so that all men in our greater community and society can do better to combat the crisis of missing and murdered indigenous women, girls, two-spirit and gender-diverse people.
Thank you.
