Reflecting on the significance of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Day on May 5th. It's heartening to witness the continued display at the Discovery Lodge, underscoring the importance of this day and the urgency of addressing this crisis. MMIW has been rightly described as both a national crisis and a Canadian genocide, demanding our attention and action. The red dress, a symbol of remembrance and resilience, serves as a powerful reminder of the lives lost and the ongoing struggle for justice. The statistics are sobering: Indigenous women and girls are disproportionately affected by violence, with alarming rates of homicide and disappearance. These numbers underscore the systemic issues of poverty, racism, and colonialism that perpetuate this injustice. As we commemorate MMIW Day, let us renew our commitment to advocacy and support for Indigenous communities, working towards a future where every woman and girl can live free from fear and violence. #MMIW #MissingAndMurderedIndigenousWomen #IndigenousRights #JusticeForMMIW"

On this #WorldPopulationDay, we reflect on a sobering reality: ❌ It's estimated that around 49.6 million people globally are trapped in modern slavery. ❌This number includes 1 in 4 children, 27.6 million in forced labour and 22 million in forced marriages, with a staggering 54% being women or young girls. - Via Walk Free These numbers are more than just statistics; they represent real lives shattered by exploitation. It's time for us to take a stand. By raising awareness and taking action, together, we can work towards eradicating modern slavery. Join our #KnowMoreIn34 campaign and be part of the generation that helps bring an end to such cruel injustice. Together, we can make a difference.
