OBS

The influence of the Aboriginal struggle for self-determination is a critical environmental factor for the assessment of Aboriginal federally sentenced women. For example, the recent founding of the Aboriginal Women's Caucus, with its mandate to speak on behalf of Aboriginal women in conflict with the law, can be seen as a structural articulation of the link made by Aboriginal women between self-determination and corrections. The conclusion is inescapable that if women generally are disadvantaged by social stereotypes and economic disparities, Aboriginal women suffer discrimination within discrimination through the addition of racial stereotypes. However, this conclusion has not yet been explicity incorporated within government thinking.

OBS

L'influence de la lutte des Autochtones pour l'autonomie est un élément déterminant du contexte de toute évaluation des femmes autochtones purgeant une peine fédérale. Par exemple, la création récente de l'Assemblée des femmes autochtones, chargée de parler au nom des femmes autochtones ayant des démêlés avec la justice, peut être considérée comme la concrétisation des rapports établis par les femmes autochtones entre l'autonomie et les services correctionnels. On ne peut échapper à la conclusion voulant que si les femmes en général souffrent des stéréotypes sociaux et des disparités économiques, les femmes autochtones souffrent d'une double discrimination en raison des stéréotypes raciaux. Toutefois, l'État n'a pas encore intégré implicitement cette conclusion à ses réflexions.
