Fact Sheet: Inuit women are in the city – What do they need?

Project Description
Project Details
Department Social and Economic Development
Year Published 2018
Women’s experiences show that the current resources and services only offer material things like housing and jobs; they don’t consider the cultural and community needs of Inuit women. Healing and connections with other Inuit and Inuit culture have the most importance for Inuit women’s well-being in big cities. The North and south are two very different places, but the experiences of Inuit women make a strong connection between the North and the south.
