In honor of National Native American Heritage Month, Stuck would like to highlight the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women movement. MMIW is a movement created in 2016 that advocates for the end of violence against Indigenous women. MMIW seeks to draw attention to the high rates of disappearance and murders of Native people, particularly women and girls; and to increase awareness of disproportionate violence experienced by Canadian and Native American women.
The red handprint (usually painted across the mouth) is a symbol that is used to indicate solidarity with Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and girls in North America, in recognition of the fact that Native American women are up to 10 times more likely to be murdered or sexually assaulted.
For more information on how you can donate to help families fund investigative services while they search for answers regarding missing loved ones, unexplained and suspicious deaths, misclassified suicides, homicides and missing and murdered Indigenous people, please visit the National Institute for Law and Justice website @ nilj.org Link in bio.
