May 5, also known as Red Dress Day, is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2S+). It is a day to honour the lives and spirits of those lost to gender-based and colonial violence, while standing with families and communities who continue to call for justice and accountability.��Inspired by Métis artist Jaime Black-Morsette and her REDress Project, red dresses displayed in public spaces represent the absence of those who are missing or have been taken. This day invites reflection, learning, and action, guided by the Calls for Justice from the National Inquiry into MMIWG.
