A new $20-million provincial strategy aims to “empower and protect” Indigenous women, girls, two-spirit and gender-diverse Manitobans and prevent future MMIWG2S+ cases, the province says.

The four-year strategy is named Mino’Ayaawag Ikwewag, which means “all women doing well” in Anishinaabemowin, Families Minister Nahanni Fontaine said at a Friday news conference.
