The Little Written

Little else is written in the curricula or program literature about working with girls from ethno-specific communities or multiracial groups. Further research into this area would be important to add to our understanding of best practices. Key informant interviews indicated that Aboriginal girls are the most marginalized in Canada as well as the most invisible. They are the “abandoned girls.” Although several of the programs researched were working with First Nations girls, both on reserve and off (including Justice for Girls, Young Women Work, GETT Camps), there is much more support needed to give these girls a voice and a chance to make positive and lasting changes in their lives.
