National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls

Add to:

May 5 is the National Day of Awareness and Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Gender diverse people.

 

On this day we aim to raise awareness about this ongoing crisis and take action. On this day we remember the people who have lost their lives to colonial, gender-based violence, and their families and communities that live daily with the grief of losing loved ones. 

The REDress Project was created by Métis artist Jaime Black to draw attention to the gendered and radicalized nature of violent crimes against Indigenous women.
