This exclusive design is released to honour MMIWG2ST+ stand for JUSTICE.
Why We Wear Red:
Because Indigenous womxn are 12 times more likely to be missing or murdered than all other women in “Canada”.
Because 84% of Indigenous womxn experience violence in their lifetime.
Because 67% of sexual abuse cases involving Indigenous victims were declined by US prosecutors between 2005-2009.
Because on some reservations the rate of sexual violence committed against Indigenous womxn by non-Indigenous people is 96%.
Because in 2016 there were 5,712 known cases of missing and murdered Indigenous womxn but only 116 were logged into DOJ database.
Because so many Indigenous womxn, girls and two-spirit people go missing and murdered that know we have lost count.
For all this and more, WE WEAR RED.
