\n
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 M\u00e9tis artist Jaime Black in 2010<\/span>, when she hung red dresses in public spaces to represent the missing and murdered Indigenous women. <\/span>The red dresses<\/span>, hung are remembrances of all who hace gone missing,<\/div>\n
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.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
However, red dresses continue to be hung, as women continue to go missing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThey were loved. They are missed. They are not forgotten.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
