NationTalk: Pauktuutit, the national organization dedicated to supporting Inuit women, girls and gender-diverse Inuit, is proud to announce the launch of its 2025-2029 Strategic Plan.

For 40 years, we have been advocating for the social, cultural and economic betterment of Inuit women and their families. Our new strategic plan builds on this strong legacy, setting a clear path forward to drive social and political change and address systemic changes at multi-jurisdictional levels.

“The updated strategic plan outlines our path to creating a strong voice for advocacy that distinctly acknowledges the unique needs of women and gender-diverse Inuit,” explains Nancy Etok, Pauktuutit’s Board Chair.
“With clear priorities rooted in Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ) principles, it reflects our deep commitment to respond to the evolving needs of our communities.”

Our focus on the future builds on four decades of board members’ advocacy experience and will focus on six key priority areas:

• Increase our impact and accountability to Inuit women, girls, and gender-diverse Inuit by aligning all work around focused policy advocacy priorities.
• Be a national leader in mobilizing Inuit women, girls, and gender-diverse Inuit knowledge and improving data about their lives.
• Embody Piruqsaijiit/ᐱᕈᖅᓴᐃᔩᑦ with a focus on developing and empowering the next generation of Inuit women, girls, and gender-diverse leaders.
• Strengthen partnerships to build collective capacity and advance shared priorities.
• Actively promote, pursue and secure the human and legal rights of Inuit women, girls and gender-diverse Inuit.
• Diversify and align funding around strategic priorities to increase our impact.

The 2025-2029 Strategic Plan weaves together our commitment to increasing our impact and accountability to Inuit women, girls and gender-diverse Inuit by enhancing our role as a national leader, strengthening partnerships, actively promoting human and legal rights, and diversifying our funding to sustain our journey.
