The British Columbia Minister’s Advisory Council on Indigenous Women supports community-led work that improves safety, quality of life, and visibility for Indigenous women and girls. View British Columbia Minister's Advisory Council on Indigenous Women (MACIW) (MACIW)'s website for more information.

The British Columbia Minister’s Advisory Council on Indigenous Women plays an important funding and policy role by connecting Indigenous women’s leadership with community-level action. Through Giving Voice and related initiatives, MACIW helps Indigenous groups and organizations host activities that address gender-based violence, bring women and community members together, support cultural practices, and mobilize local responses to the safety and well-being of Indigenous women and girls. Its impact in the funding ecosystem is the way it directs resources toward work designed and led close to affected communities. This helps funders move beyond generic prevention language and support projects grounded in Indigenous knowledge, relationships, and self-determination. MACIW also strengthens the policy feedback loop between community experience and provincial decision-making.
