18 CELEBRATING INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
International Women's Day is
a time to reflect upon the roles
women play in our world. For
many, it's a time to celebrate
hard-fought advancements in
human rights over the last few
centuries, but this isn't the case
for all women – particularly
Indigenous women.
Survivors and Knowledge Keepers reveal a different
history. Over the last few centuries colonial systems
have stripped the long-held and respected matriarchal
leadership role from Indigenous women. Oral
histories that support this, and other truths, continue
to be revealed by the National Centre for Truth and
Reconciliation.
