An Amautiit Community Survey

Understanding the Unique Risks and 
Vulnerabilities of Nunavut

A Survey for Inuit Women, Girls, and the 2SLGBTQQIA+ Community

Part of the Amautiit Community Survey Series

This year, the Amautiit Nunavut Inuit Women’s Association is conducting preliminary research regarding the distinct and unique risks that exist in Nunavut that can make residents more vulnerable by nature of policies and/or programs.

Discrimination is defined as treatment that is unjust or prejudicial due to different characteristics of a person, persons or people especially on the grounds of ethnicity, race, age, disability, sex/pregnancy, religion, family status, marital status,   ancestry, colour, political affiliation, gender identity including expression, receipt of public housing or criminal record.

Made possible with funding from Crown-Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, the survey is part of an ongoing project aimed at examining the Nunavut Human Rights Act (HRA) to ensure it upholds principles of inclusivity and non-discrimination. You can read more information about the survey, and this project here.
