About Generation 4 Equality

Generation 4 Equality is a platform for Indigenous youth like you to get information, ask questions, and connect with others who are working hard for gender equality and gender diversity.

The Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC) is a national Indigenous organization representing political voices of Indigenous Women, Girls, Two-Spirit, Transgender, and Gender-Diverse+ (WG2STGD+) People in Canada. NWAC is inclusive of First Nations—on- and off-reserve, status, non-status, and disenfranchised—Inuit, and Métis. An aggregate of Indigenous women’s organizations from across the country, NWAC was founded on a collective goal to enhance, promote, and foster social, economic, cultural, and political well-being of Indigenous WG2STGD+ People in their respective communities and Canadian societies.

Since 1974, NWAC has established strong and lasting governance structures, decision-making processes, financial policies and procedures, and networks, to achieve its overall mission, vision, and goals. Today, NWAC engages in national and international advocacy aimed at legislative and policy reforms to promote equality for Indigenous WG2STGD+ and LGBTQQAI+ People. Through advocacy, policy, and legislative analysis, NWAC works to preserve Indigenous culture and advance the wellbeing of all Indigenous WG2STGD People, as well as their families and communities.

The Generation 4 Equality platform is meant to share the resources needed to promote gender equality for everyone. This will enable you to:
  • Exchange ideas with your peers about promoting gender equality
  • Identify and pursue opportunities to increase your leadership capacity
  • Connect you to others who share your vision and goals
  • Want to get involved, or talk more about this platform or gender equality with us? We’ll be holding meetings throughout the year with youth advocates to share knowledge, skills, and ideas on gender equality advocacy and initiatives.
