Call to fully honor Jordan's Principle for Indigenous child welfare in Canada

Advocates are urging the full implementation of Jordan's Principle to ensure First Nations children in Canada receive equitable access to public services.

Background

Jordan's Principle is a legal principle in Canada ensuring First Nations children receive the same public services as other children without delays or denials based on jurisdiction. Its implementation addresses historical inequities and systemic discrimination faced by Indigenous peoples in Canada, particularly concerning child welfare and access to essential services.
