Specifically, this paper discusses various issues, stemming from the water crisis, that some First Nations women experience, through the lens of the Charter's section 15 right to equality, and section 7 right to life, liberty, and security of the person. In doing so, this paper aims to draw attention to the different ways that the water crisis uniquely impacts First Nations women due to their intersectional experiences under the protected grounds of sex, ethnic origin, race, and residency on reserve land. The intent of this paper is to determine the viability of sections 15 and 7 as legal tools to address the water crisis for First Nations women, in hopes of advancing greater environmental justice.
