The entire month of May is dedicated to raising awareness about sexual violence, promoting prevention efforts, and supporting survivors.

Also known as Red Dress Day, this day honors the lives of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people across Canada.

While broader in scope, this month includes opportunities to spotlight the intersection of colonial violence, sexual violence, and the experience of Indigenous women and girls.

A day to recognize and celebrate the cultures and contributions of Indigenous peoples, often accompanied by events addressing the ongoing impacts of gender-based violence.
