Grand Challenges Canada

Purpose

The Project I3 – WG2S will advance indigenous gender equality for women and girls across social and economic conditions by supporting the creation of a succession of transformative innovation and catalyzing large scale system changes to improve lives in Indigenous communities across Canada, allowing Indigenous innovators from the I3-WG2S project to achieve their fullest potential and share in Canada’s prosperity. Indigenous gender equality refers to the United Nations Briefing Note No. 1 on Gender and Indigenous Peoples that recognizes that there are even further gender influenced gaps for Indigenous peoples.
