This Sunday, May 5 is National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2S), also known as Red Dress Day.听

Violence against Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people is disproportionately high in Canada. To raise awareness and pay tribute, the 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 community is encouraged to wear red, learn more about MMIWG2S at the resources below, and support local events.听

Why red dresses?听

In 2010, M茅tis artist Jamie Black launched the 听as听鈥渁n aesthetic response to this critical national issue鈥�. Black displayed hundreds of red dresses in public spaces to symbolize the absence of Indigenous women and girls who have gone missing or been murdered, aiming to raise awareness about this pressing issue. Red Dress Day has since gained recognition nationwide.听
