About us
MMIWP Families in bringing continued awareness to the epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous women and people and the perpetuation of colonial, gender-based violence across the United States and Canada. We wish to respectfully invite the families of MMIWP to the center, so as to highlight and uplift the stories of you and your loved ones.
Our mission is to raise consciousness, unite, and demand action for Indigenous women, girls, Two Spirit, LGBTQQIA people, men, and boys who have been murdered or gone missing, tortured, raped, trafficked, and assaulted - those who have not received the proper attention or justice while we experience the tragedies in our communities at horrendous rates.
“Nearly half of all Native American women have been raped, beaten, or stalked by an intimate partner; one in three will be raped in their lifetime; and on some reservations, women are murdered at a rate 10 times higher than the national average.”
