Today on Red Dress Day, the National Day of Awareness of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2Spirit we honour all who have been lost and think of ...those who don't feel safe. We reflect on the many changes expressed by the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls that need to happen in our society for MMIWG2S to reclaim their power and place. https://www.mmiwg-ffada.ca/final-report/ We hope for the needed changes in our communities so that everyone will feel safe.
