The Government of Saskatchewan continues to work with Indigenous partners, including in response to the 2019 federal Calls for Justice and subsequent National Action Plan on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) and 2SLGTBQQIA+ people.

“This year, the Government of Saskatchewan is investing $27.5 million in programs and services, many of which are community-based and Indigenous-led, that address the issues of missing persons and interpersonal violence and abuse," Justice Minister and Attorney General Bronwyn Eyre said. "Our foremost goal is to help promote safety, prevention and root causes."

• $8.9 million to support 12 provincially-funded transition houses and three enhanced residential programs that provide immediate shelter needs for those fleeing domestic violence.
• $876,000 in new operational funding over three years for second stage housing for counselling and intervention supports, including to Sapohtewan House, which is owned and operated by the La Ronge Native Women’s Council Inc.
• $150,000 to Hope Restored Canada to deliver services to victims of human trafficking for secure housing, counseling, treatment and life skills programs. 67 per cent of residents at Hope Restored in Saskatoon are Indigenous women.
• $1.97 million in 14 communities for 16 family violence intervention programs, including in La Ronge, Meadow Lake, North Battleford, Melfort, Hudson Bay, Humboldt, Saskatoon, Kindersley, Yorkton, Fort Qu’Appelle, Regina, Moose Jaw, Swift Current and Estevan.
• $662,000 for the Family Intervention Rapid Support Team (FIRST) to support families at a higher risk for violence and to mitigate potential crisis situations.
• $170,000 to support transportation initiatives through the Northern Transportation and Support Initiative and Transportation Reimbursement Fund for individuals and their families leaving interpersonal violence and abuse, or who are in immediate need of a sexual assault forensic examination.
• $96,000 to expand the Victim Advocate Case Review (VACR) program from Saskatoon and Regina to Moose Jaw and Prince Albert, to help improve sexual assault investigation methods and increase the likelihood that offenders will be held accountable for their actions. 

Community Response Fund provides $400,000 to Indigenous community-based programs that promote and enhance prevention and safety.
