Red Dress Day

Red Dress Day is a day of remembrance and action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2S) in Canada and the United States. This is the 15th Red Dress Day, the first was held by Métis artist Jaime Black in 2010, when she hung red dresses in public spaces to represent the missing and murdered Indigenous women. The red dresses, hung are remembrances of all who hace gone missing,

with the colour red being the only colour visible to spirits. Meaning that these dresses are visible to us, here today – and those in the spirit world.

However, red dresses continue to be hung, as women continue to go missing.
