Red Dress Day: A National Call for Justice for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls

Across Manitoba, communities came together in red for Red Dress Day, honoring missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. The event, started by artist Jaime Black, saw over a hundred people in Winnipeg marching and drumming, remembering victims like a twenty-year-old First Nations woman whose killer was convicted that day. Families shared their pain, advocating for justice in cases like a thirty-one-year-old Cree woman missing since 2018 and a fourteen-year-old boy murdered in 2020. In Brandon and Thompson, crowds rallied, calling the trauma genocide and tying red ribbons to bridges. The event highlighted the ongoing fight for justice and healing, with elders, survivors, and allies determined to end the violence.
