“…Many community-based Aboriginal service providers were started by Indigenous women (Krouse and Howard 2009;Janovicek 2009), and Indigenous organizations in urban areas are often led by women. 55 Indeed, the community sector continues to be a prominent source of jobs in cities, particularly for Indigenous women (Peters 2006, 9-10).…”

“…The struggles for services and for conditions where women are safe from violence are closely linked to the struggles for self-determination and against the conditions of colonialism (Janovicek 2009). This includes confronting the effects of the Indian Act regime and residential schools within Indigenous communities, including in urban settings.…”

This article examines women's political empowerment in the Russian Arctic as an example of progress towards gender equality. In contrast to women's severe underrepresentation in Russian federal politics, a strong trend towards women's political empowerment can be observed in the Arctic regions of the country. Using the Nenets Autonomous Region as a case study, this article is aimed at narrowing the research gaps in women's leadership by examining the representation of female deputies in both the regional and local levels of government/self-government. Research on women's numerical representation indicates that women's participation and political empowerment in decision-making processes are manifested most vividly in predominantly indigenous communities. Placing a special focus on these Arctic communities, this study describes the historical and institutional roots that impact shifts in traditional gender role and contribute to a phenomenon of indigenous women's empowerment. Along with this positive pattern of women's leadership, this study also reveals an alarming trend of "reverse gender disparity" concerning men's severe underrepresentation in positions of power in indigenous communities of the North. The study results suggest that to achieve gender equality, a holistic approach to women's empowerment requires taking into account socio-cultural and historical contexts, as well as regional and territorial disparities. by 2030, as enshrined in SDG5, a holistic approach to women's empowerment requires taking into account socio-cultural and historical contexts, as well as regional and territorial disparities.

“…Peters' (1998) analysis of transcripts of presentations to the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples by Aboriginal women living in cities showed that their perceptions of self-government were based on kinship ties rather than hierarchical relationships and, as a result, women rejected the usefulness of models of self-government that distinguished between urban and non-urban communities. Several case studies document the leadership roles Aboriginal women take in creating networks and organizations to support urban Aboriginal communities, resisting stereotypes about the inappropriateness and ineffectiveness or Aboriginal cultural frameworks in urban areas (Howard-Bobiwash 2003;Janovicek 2003;Silver 2006). Other papers focused on the implications of extreme marginalization and stereotyping for Aboriginal women's lives in urban areas.…”
