National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls
Today, ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú marks the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, also known as Red Dress Day. In 2010 Métis artist Jaime Black created an art installation known as the REDress Project to raise awareness about the thousands of women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people lost to violent crime. Since then, red dresses continue to be hung across Canada in May, including on the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú campus, to honour those lost and to serve as a call for action to prevent future violence.
