A new report prepared by Pauktuutit Inuit Women of Canada and researchers at the University of British Columbia paints a troubling portrait of the effects of mining on Inuit women in Baker Lake, a community of 1,700 located 110 kilometres from Agnico Eagle’s Meadowbank gold mine.
The women told Pauktuutit that, due to the mine, they face discrimination, substance abuse, violence and a break-down in family relationships.
