We believe that the application of Guaranteed Livable Income will ensure that no one, let alone Indigenous women, suffers from economic hardship and poverty.

feminist revolution is rooted in collectively insisting on 100% of what we want, making the
impossible, possible โ for our desire for freedom makes Guaranteed Livable Income only a
minute step towards our vision of liberation

โIf the government will provide Guaranteed Livable Income that will allow women to have dignified lives... It will improve the situation in general, but will allow women to escape a lot of abusive situations in particular.โ
A Guaranteed Livable Income must be set high enough to meet adequate standards of living. It should provide all basic necessities such as a nutritious diet, safe adequate housing, transportation, and allow for discretionary spending to enhance full participation in community life.
Women in Canada expect full and generous provision for all people's basic needs from the common wealth. Social and collective provision for sustaining life must be generous and secure in Canada and must be delivered through national mechanisms appropriately influenced and controlled by the women of our many specific communities.
