ONWA Amplifying the Rights of Indigenous Women at the 145th UN Human Rights Committee

The Ontario Native Women’s Association (ONWA) is attending the 145th session of the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Committee at Palais Wilson in Geneva, Switzerland from March 2 – 4, 2026. The UN Human Rights Committee monitors Canada’s and other governments’ implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) – a legally binding treaty that protects human rights. At this session, Canada will be undergoing its seventh review. This is an important opportunity for ONWA to hold the Canadian government accountable to upholding Indigenous women’s inherent rights and to ensure that Indigenous women’s voices and perspectives are heard and included in the review process.
