About ONWA
VALUES & KEY AREAS OF FOCUS
ONWA is committed to using a human rights framework for our work. As our foundation, we use the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). This framework supports Indigenous women’s individual and
collective rights to have their own agencies, to be directly and meaningfully engaged on issues that directly impact them and the reclaiming of their leadership.
RECLAIM
Indigenous women’s role as matriarchs (leadership) in their families and communities.
RESTORE
Indigenous women’s identity and inherent rights beyond a jurisdictional approach.
RECONCILE
relationships to ensure that Indigenous women have a right to safety regardless of location.
RECOGNIZE
that Indigenous women are the medicine needed to heal ourselves, families, and communities.
