Alt text: purple background with start quilt faded to the back and text Calls for Justice. White text Calls for Justice for all governments. White line above the following text, the national inquiry heard many truths connected with the deliberate actions and inactions of all levels of government. In addition, the evidence makes clear that changing the structures and the systems that sustain violence in daily encounters is not only necessary to combat violence but is an essential legal obligation of all governments in canada. We target many of our calls for justice at governments for this reason and identify how governments can work to honour indigenous women, girls, and 2slgbtqqia people, and to protect their human and indigenous rights, in the thematic areas examined within this report.
