Commemoration of MMIWG2S+ Remembering Project
LFMO’s data strategy focuses on addressing systemic issues underlying violence against Métis WG2S+ individuals by emphasizing ethical, distinctions-based research. Through collaboration with Pauktuutit Inuit Women, the initiative integrates culturally aligned approaches to inform advocacy and meaningful action.
Les Femmes Michif Otipemisiwak (LFMO) is advancing a data strategy to strengthen understanding and advocacy around the violence experienced by Métis women, girls, and Two-Spirit and gender-diverse individuals (WG2S+).
This work prioritizes distinctions-based, culturally appropriate research practices to examine systemic patterns and promote accountability. By partnering with Pauktuutit Inuit Women, LFMO is aligning its efforts with proven methodologies and ethical standards, ensuring the work honors and supports impacted communities while driving long-term systemic change.
LFMO is developing a Métis-specific data strategy and database to track the disappearances, murders (femicides), and suspicious deaths of Métis women, girls, and Two-Spirit and gender-diverse people (WG2S+), with over 100 cases documented to date.
Consultation is ongoing with MMIWG2S+ families, Survivors, and Knowledge Keepers.
