Statistics Canada reports higher rates of police-reported violence against women & girls in rural areas. A consistent finding over time. When will governments/leaders recognize it's time to do something about it. Police-reported crime in rural areas in the Canadian provinces, 2023

This year will mark six years of unfulfilled promises and waiting for urgent action. In the meantime, Indigenous organizations have stepped up with programs like NWAC’s Safe Passage. We must see all levels of government respond to the 231 Calls with the urgency it deserves.

Today, on #RedDressDay, we mark the 15th anniversary of the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. The red dress is a symbol of the empty space where loved ones should be — as well as a call to justice, accountability, and action. #MMIWG
