You see a beautiful red dress hanging in the trees. The day on the calendar May 5 th,reminds us that it represents the many Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit Persons who have been viciously murdered. Some of these precious souls have been found, but most are still missing. What that red dress stands for is really not beautiful at all!
Red Dress Day is a somber gathering and speaks loudly. Families across the nation speak out on this day, “We are visible and we are here. We stand with our message, not to be a part of a problem, but a part of the solution”.
We can never let the memories of missing women silently slip away. Much work needs to be done every day to change attitudes, change environments, change the outcome and future generations for Indigenous Women. ALL people standing together, using their voices is paramount in the work needed to make change against the injustice of crimes against Indigenous Women.
