October 4 is National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Trans & Two Spirit People (MMIWG2S+).
To raise awareness of this ongoing crisis, red dresses were displayed in Cabot Square, and many participants wore red to honour those lost to violence.
The Iskweu project hopes this day will urge the city of Montreal, the province, and the federal government to take urgent action.
They are asking leaders to follow the National Inquiry’s recommendations and to provide safety and shelter for unhoused Indigenous women amid the housing crisis.
Since the launch of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in 2019, the Government of Canada has taken steps on 115 of the 231 Calls to Justice, including only two fully completed.
