Terminology The Outcomes Report endeavours to use inclusive language while acknowledging the evidence base and the experiences of First Nations women and will often use the term ‘violence against First Nations women and children.’ No exclusion is intended in the terms used in the Outcomes Report. The Outcomes Report defines ‘women’ as all First Nations women who identify as women, including cisgender women, and First Nations people who are gender and sex diverse often referred to as LGBTIQA+SB.1 The Outcomes Report includes First Nations elders and those with disability. It also acknowledges that women and children can never be defined by one singular identity, and gender-based violence impacts in different and often complex and intersecting ways.
