Who We Are
Grounded in Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit, Pauktuutit elevates the voices of Inuit women across Canada and supports their health, economic stability, safety, and access to justice through culture-specific policy advocacy, dedicated programs and strategic partnerships. By engaging and collaborating with Inuit women, communities, and organizations, we strive to empower Inuit women, girls and gender-diverse Inuit, ensuring they have greater opportunities to thrive.
