The Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC) works to advance the well-being of Aboriginal women and girls as well as their families and communities through activism, policy analysis, and advocacy. Aboriginal women continue to experience discrimination on multiple grounds and in various complex forms and from various sources, including from individuals, businesses, and governments.

NWAC was incorporated in 1974 and is one of the five officially recognized National Aboriginal Organizations (NAOs), whose purpose is to represent and speak, at the national level, on behalf of Aboriginal women in Canada.
