National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls – Red Dress Day
Posting Date(s)
On May 5, 91̽»¨ marks the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, also known as Red Dress Day. The use of red dresses was originated by Métis artist Jaime Black in 2010 as a representation of the women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people lost to violent crime. Red dresses continue to be hung across Canada in May, including on the 91̽»¨ campus, to honour those lost and to serve as a call for action to prevent future violence.
