. Ms. Gazan said that gender-based violence has intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic, with Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people at especially high risk.
Jennifer Cooper, a spokesperson for Indigenous Services Canada, said that of the $37.1-million the department has spent, $33.2-million has gone to programs and services for Indigenous people facing gender-based violence, and $3.9-million to “initial operational costs.” Carol McBride, president of the Native Women’s Association of Canada, said that shelters are incredibly needed, particularly in urban areas.
