This project examines human rights impacts of natural resource development in Western Canada from the perspective of women and girls, especially Indigenous women and girls. The research will identify gaps between Canada’s relevant international human rights and environmental agreements, domestic law, policies and practises, and the lived realities of women and girls. In partnership with the David Suzuki Foundation, the interns will collaborate with environmental, Indigenous, human rights, and feminist organizations to ensure a nuanced approach to understanding the genocidal and ecocidal impacts of resource development. The human rights capacity of the David Suzuki Foundation will be bolstered by the interns’ human rights expertise, networks, and research.
