Red Dress Day
On May 5, we recognize Red Dress Day, the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ Peoples. This day, inspired by the REDress Project by artist Jaime Black, honours those who have been lost to gender-based violence and brings attention to the ongoing MMIWG2S+ crisis in Canada. We invite you to explore this reading list to remember those who are missing, learn from Indigenous voices leading the call for justice, and better understand the colonial and systemic roots of this national tragedy.
