Knowledge is a key to dismantling barriers and bringing healing to Indigenous communities. Let us empower ourselves to educate, act, and create change. Today, we challenge everyone to educate yourself on the heartbreaking issue of #MMIW. Unnatural causes of deaths and missing persons cases continue to plague our tribal communities, denying Native Americans safety and peace of mind. Grim statistics reveal the harsh reality we face. Through connection and resources, we can combat the violence faced by our Indigenous Women. Let's be advocates for change and allies in the fight for justice. #NoMoreStolenSisters #MMIW #MMIWG #MMIWG2S #RedHand #EndViolence #Awareness #KnowledgeIsPower #SocialJustice #EndViolence #RememberMMIW

Yesterday marked the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) across the United States and Canada. This solemn day calls for heightened awareness around this critical issue affecting Indigenous communities. The statistics are deeply concerning - it's estimated that 4 out of 5 Native women experience some form of violence in their lifetimes, and the murder rate can be over 10 times the national average on some reservations. Many of these cases go unreported or untracked, highlighting the need for improved data collection and transparency. As part of the awareness campaign, the red dress has become a powerful symbol, representing the lives of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. Wearing a red dress or ribbon is a way for individuals to show their support and commemoration on this day. While progress has been made in recent years to raise the profile of MMIWG, there is still much work to be done to address the root causes, provide support for survivors and families, and ensure justice for victims. #MMIWG #RedDressAwareness #IndigenousRights #humantrafficking #abuse

"We know that violence against women and violence against children tends to co-occur in the same households – and have common causes. A child growing up in an abusive household can have devastating and long-lasting impacts." Margaret Sheehan, CEO ChildFund Australia Rates of domestic violence in Australia are unprecedented: 34 women were killed by an intimate partner in 2022-23, an increase of close to 30% on the previous year. ChildFund Australia welcomes the Australian Government's additional $925 million funding commitment to combat gender-based violence. However, this commitment falls far short of funding frontline services to keep women and children safe. ChildFund is a child rights organisation and we operate globally to end all forms of violence against children. #EndViolenceAgainstWomen #EVAW #EVAC #GBV #familyviolence #genderquality

We want to share deep gratitude to National Indigenous Women's Resource Center for creating resources and actions for the National Week of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. Indigenous women face some of the highest rates of domestic violence, yet there is a distinct gap in the number of culturally-based services available for Native women. This gap contributes to the high rates of #MMIWR. The Family Violence and Prevention Services Act (FVPSA) provides essential funding for advocacy, safe shelter, and supportive services, yet fewer than half of 574 federally recognized Indian Tribes receive FVPSA funding.? Congress must reauthorize FVPSA with dedicated funding for Tribal coalitions so that Native women can access the critical resources they need!

The murders of three women in Ballarat and the broader context of domestic abuse in Australia highlight the need for perpetrator-focused programs, how many women won't report abuse because they are worried about losing their children? Why is the default narrative for women and children to flee their own home? Location-based rehabilitation programs like the Aboriginal Males Healing Centre in Newman must form the backbone of a national strategy that aims to fix the cause, and not just temporarily remediate the problem. #FamilySupport #CommunityCare #ECINS #EarlyIntervention #PrimaryPrevention

Disabled women supported by Women’s Aid’s No Woman Turned Away Project (NWTA) experience very high barriers to accessing refuge. Our Nowhere to Turn report 2024 details the findings from the eighth year of NWTA, which provides support and advocacy to women facing additional barriers to accessing refuge or other safe accommodation. The report builds on our evidence base on the structural inequalities that many survivors face and makes evidence-based recommendations for key stakeholders.

Mind the gap! ?? In all seriousness, we often feel that our work differs from what people think we do. While we work within Muslim communities and political advocacy is powerful and necessary, our goal is to engage and mobilize people beyond Muslim communities. By addressing anti-Muslim bias, discrimination, and violence in communities of faith, we aim to create structures of community solidarity and mobilize leaders to carry out effective, meaningful change. Our goal is to help more people beyond Muslim communities to see anti-Muslim discrimination as their issue, too. Have any questions?

An organization in which people fully support their mission.

Today we honour Int'l Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia. Discrimination is a significant barrier for 2SLGBTQQIA+ people from accessing safe housing! Gender-diverse, Two-Spirit, and trans people face significant, intersecting human rights violations when it comes to housing and accessing emergency shelters, and are more likely to experience hidden homelessness.
