National Day of Action for MMIWG2S

National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls

On October 4, we stand with Indigenous communities to raise awareness about the many missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people. This day asks us to confront the deep pain and loss felt by families and communities and to reflect on the urgent need for justice, safety, and healing.

At wintranslation, we recognize that language plays a role in the fight for justice. Through our work in Indigenous language translation, we aim to support communities in sharing their stories and advocating for change.

We have gathered some resources to help foster understanding and action on this critical issue. We encourage you to take the time to explore these materials and consider how we can all contribute to real change.

Featured Resources:

• Reclaiming Power and Place: The Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls
• Understanding the Legacy of Trauma: NWAC’s Report on Intergenerational Effects of Incarceration and MMIWG2S
• Pauktuutit Indigenous Women of Canada’s The Red Amautiit Project 
• Pathways to Safety: Ontario’s Response to the MMIWG Inquiry

Together, we can help bring awareness and understanding and push for meaningful change.
