Red
Dress
Day marks
the
National
Day
of
Awareness
for
Missing
and
Murdered
Indigenous
Women,
Girls,
and
Two-Spirited
people
in
Canada.
Join
Elder
Myeengun
Henry
to
honour
and
remember
our
missing
and
murdered
sisters
and
to
show
solidarity
with
their
family
and
loved
ones.
More
than
1,000
murders
of
Indigenous
women,
girls
and
Two-Spirited
people
were
recorded
by
police
between
1980
and
2012.
It
is
estimated
that
4,000
Indigenous
women,
girls,
and
Two-Spirited
people
have
gone
missing
during
that
same
period.
The
Final
Report
from
the
National
Inquiry
on
Missing
and
Murdered
Indigenous
Women
and
Girls,
released
in
2019,
concluded
that
the
staggering
rates
of
violence
against
Indigenous
women
and
girls
amounts
to
race-based
genocide.
The
REDress
project
was
created
by
Indigenous
artist
Jamie
Black
in
2010.
