The Family Violence Prevention Project Advisory Committee was originally intended to be designated members from Pauktuutit Inuit Women of Canada. However, after the 2019 community consultations, both the Law Society of Nunavut and Pauktuutit recognized the importance of inviting a wider-range of organizations—government and non-government, legal and non-legal—to be on the Advisory Committee.
