Recommendation 7:
Across Canada, funding for education and supports for Indigenous people onand off-reserve are grossly inadequate. Provincial systems for youth in care, also disproportionately Indigenous, often do not meet their needs. As a result, Indigenous youth often struggle to support themselves when they try to escape abusive circumstances. The federal government should increase broad-based supports, including through funding to Indigenous communities for self-administered education, vocational training, housing programs, income assistance, employment programs, and health and addictions services, based in Indigenous traditions. This would position Indigenous people to decide whether they want to participate in the sex industry, and if so, under what conditions.
