#RedDressDay is a day of quiet reflection for me. I remember, with gratitude, the families and survivors who shared their truths at the #NationalInquiry #MMIWG2S . I reflect on the remarkable NI staff, my colleagues and our Grandmothers. Change is happening, but too slowly.

On #RedDressDay , we honour missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit individuals. Let us continue to advocate for systemic change and work towards a future where everybody feels safe in their communities.

May 5 is National #MMIWG2S Awareness Day and #RedDressDay in Canada, a day to bring awareness and call to stop violence against Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people. #WhyWeWearRed #MMIWActionNow #NoMoreStolenSisters

Today, we're celebrating the incredible achievements of women in our faculty. Their achievements strengthen our faculty and push their fields forward. Keep an eye out for the stories of a few throughout the day!

It is often said Manitoba is ground zero for missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and gender-diverse peoples.

On Face to Face, long-time advocate Sandra Delaronde agrees with that assessment and believes the statistics show it will continue to be.
