  • Right to Health Introduction: Connecting Health and Safety
    CHAPTER 6 Confronting Oppression – Right to Health Introduction: Connecting Health and Safety In Chapter 5, we explored how the destructive impact of colonial policies on culture, family, and community constitutes a form of cultural violence, which many people who shared their truths with the National Inquiry recognize as the starting point for other forms of violence that they or their missing and murdered loved ones have experienced in the past and continue to experience today. In this chapter, we build on this foundation, as told to us by families and survivors, to con- sider how colonial violence directed toward traditional cultural practice, family, and community creates conditions that increase the likelihood of other forms of violence, including, in particular, interpersonal violence, through its distinct impacts on the mental, emotional, and spiritual health of Indigenous Peoples. In sharing stories about the health issues they or their missing or murdered loved ones faced, the experiences they had in seeking health services, and the conse- quences of encounters that more often than not further diminished rather than promoted health and wellness, witnesses illustrated how addressing violence against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people must also address their right to health. This chapter begins by defining “health” as a human right according to international human rights standards, in order to explain how the right to health is directly connected with positive outcomes, both individually and in communities, for women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people. In addition, we explore health as understood through distinctive First Nations, Inuit and Métis perspectives, to understand how Indigenous ways of being well are directly connected to main- taining safety.
