Honouring the spirits of MMWIG2S
Indigenous girls, women and Two-Spirit people (MMWIG2S) face high rates of gender-based violence and disproportionate levels of violent crimes. In 2019, a national inquiry found that regularly, missing Indigenous women and girls are stereotyped or stigmatized and their family’s concerns are dismissed. By listening to shared truths on May 5, Red Dress Day, and every other day, we raise awareness and stand in solidarity.
For immediate emotional assistance, call 1-844-413-6649. This is a national, toll-free 24/7 crisis call line providing support for anyone who requires emotional assistance related to missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.
