On May 5 we recognize Red Dress Day in support of raising awareness of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people.
HSN and HSNRI stands in solidarity with Indigenous communities whom have lost their loved ones and we support their Calls for Justice.
The red dress is a powerful symbol to remember missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people.
On June 3rd 2019, “Reclaiming Power and Place: The Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+” was released. You can download and read the final report here: https://www.mmiwg-ffada.ca/final-report/ and take action to support the Calls for Justice.
A support line is available for those impacted by missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people at 1-844-413-6649.
Other services and support can be found on the Government of Canada website here https://www.rcaanc-cirnac.gc.ca/eng/1448633299414/1534526479029
We remember and honour them every day.
