New “specialty” licence plates will be available this fall for Manitobans who want to support the plight of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two Spirited people (MMIWG2S). The plates will feature the now emblematic ‘Red Dress’ or the ‘Red Hand Print’ and will be available for $70, with $30 going to support all those families that are affected by intersectoral violence against Indigenous woman.
Call to Action 41. “We call upon the federal government, in consultation with Aboriginal organizations, to appoint a public inquiry into the causes of, and remedies for, the disproportionate victimization of Aboriginal women and girls. The inquiry’s mandate would include: i. Investigation into missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls. ii. Links to the intergenerational legacy of residential schools.” (Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action, p. 7.)
