NACCA meets with Chilean Embassy Delegatation and the Ministry of Women and Gender Equity in Chile
NACCA recently had the privilege of meeting with representatives from the Chilean Embassy and the Ministry of Women and Gender Equity in Chile. This productive dialogue focused on Canada’s experience in empowering Indigenous women and fostering Indigenous entrepreneurship, highlighting the transformative power of collaboration and shared learning.
Indigenous women are the backbone of our communities, carrying forward traditions, fostering resilience, and building pathways to prosperity. Across Canada, Indigenous women entrepreneurs are creating businesses that not only strengthen local economies but also preserve culture and inspire the next generation.
At NACCA, we believe that when Indigenous women are supported with access to capital, mentorship, and opportunities, they thrive, and their success ripples out to benefit families, communities, and nations. Entrepreneurship is not just about business; it’s about empowerment, fostering self-determination, and creating opportunities that endure.
This exchange with Chile’s Ministry of Women and Gender Equity reflects the importance of international collaboration. By sharing knowledge and strategies, we can collectively uplift Indigenous women, celebrate their strengths, and break down barriers that have historically hindered their progress.
NACCA remains committed to supporting Indigenous women entrepreneurs through our programs, advocacy, and partnerships. Together, we build stronger, more resilient communities where women lead the way to prosperity.
