Kahnawake – Quebec Native Women (QNW) would like to highlight the courage of the women and children who, despite facing great social pressure and many other hardships, have bravely spoken out against the situation of sexual abuse that persist within their communities on Radio-Canada “Enquete” show.

“Violence in our communities is a vicious cycle that needs to be broken for good to ensure a healthier life for future generations. Concrete actions must be taken so people can feel safe and supported when reporting violence.

The safety and well-being of our children is all our responsibility and it is all our responsibility to protect them! ” says Viviane Michel, president of QNW.
