Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, also called FASD, is the name given to the mental and physical problems that a baby can be born with if a woman drinks while she is pregnant. FASD can only happen if a woman drinks alcohol while she is pregnant. When a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, her unborn baby also drinks alcohol. Alcohol easily passes from the mother to the baby through the cord. Alcohol can severely affect the brain and development of a baby, so when alcohol passes from the mother to the baby, it often damages and slows the baby’s development. Problems from FASD will never go away.

As the national organization representing Inuit women, Pauktuutit is guided by concerns raised by Inuit women. For many years, issues related to violence and abuse in families and communities have dominated discussions at our annual general meetings. These discussions have highlighted the need for more community-based resources to support people struggling with family violence and related problems on a day-to-day basis.
