What is MMIW+?
MMIW stands for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women & 2Spirit+. It’s a movement that advocates for the end of violence against Native women and Two Spirit individuals.
A red hand over the mouth has become the symbol of a growing movement. It stands for all the missing relatives whose voices are not heard. It stands for the silence of the media and law enforcement in the midst of this crisis. It stands for the oppression and subjugation of Native women who are now rising up to say #NoMoreStolenSisters.
