Reproductive Justice and Family Unity
The Métis Reproductive Justice from Hospital to Home project honours the voices of Métis women and 2SLGBTQQIA+ community members by co-developing resources that promote reproductive justice and safety.
The Ohpikihaawashow: Métis Reproductive Justice from Hospital to Home project advocates for
the safety of Métis women and gender-diverse kin accessing reproductive healthcare. By
identifying ongoing gaps in care, harmful practices, and co-developing recommendations with
the community, this initiative promotes family unity and supports community-developed tools
and resources.
Many Métis families have negative experiences with health care providers, which can lead to
serious health risks. If pregnant and birthing women and gender-diverse people face
discrimination in health care or fear child welfare involvement, so much so that they are afraid to
seek help, their health outcomes will not be fair or equal.
Our project aims to better understand these challenges and create solutions alongside the
community. Guided by community priorities, resources will be tailored to meet the unique needs
of Métis women, 2SLGBTQQIA+ community members, and their families.
