Yes it is Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Red Dress Day. Yes is is important to remember those who are missing! More importantly, how do we prevent Metis and First Nations Women and Girls from being abused, beaten, sexually assaulted, living in poverty, and going missing? 56% of Indigenous women have suffered physical assault, and 46% have experienced sexual assault. By comparison, about one-third of non-Indigenous women have suffered these assaults in their lifetimes. https://lnkd.in/gnHpK2Gt.
🔴 May 5th marks Red Dress Day, a solemn occasion to honor the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) across Canada. The Red Dress serves as a powerful symbol, giving voice to those who have been silenced. While this day shouldn't have to exist, the reality is stark: Indigenous women are 5x more likely to be murdered than non-Indigenous women. Let's unite our voices and support this crucial movement for justice and remembrance.

The journey towards women's suffrage was arduous, with years of resistance from cultural norms, lawmakers, and even some women. Despite the deeply ingrained societal attitudes and legal barriers, the women's suffrage movement persisted, using protests, lobbying, and legal challenges to gain momentum. It is important to acknowledge that the fight for suffrage was not a monolithic movement. The 15th Amendment granted African-Americans the right to vote decades earlier, highlighting the intersectionality of the struggle for civil rights. The ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920 marked a significant milestone in the fight for women's rights, granting women the legal right to vote and participate in the democratic process. As we celebrate Women's Suffrage Day, let us take a moment to honor the efforts of those who fought tirelessly for this fundamental right. #WomensSuffrage #EqualRights #Democracy
