MMIW
Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) represents a profound crisis that stems from a painful intersection of historical trauma, systemic violence, and the devaluation of Indigenous lives. Our women have long endured marginalization, discrimination, and invisibility within the broader society. Their disappearances and deaths are not isolated incidents but part of a distressing pattern that demands our unwavering commitment to raising awareness and seeking justice
We must raise awareness and seek justice for our missing sisters.
We stand united, demanding justice and accountability. We will not remain silent until our sisters are safe and their stories are heard.
