Canada and Manitoba are launching a pilot alert program — similar to an Amber Alert — that will send out emergency messages when an Indigenous woman or girl goes missing.
Canada and Manitoba are partnering to launch an Indigenous-led alert system that would inform the public when an Indigenous woman or girl goes missing, they announced today in Winnipeg. A red dress is hangs on a light fixture on National Day of Awareness for the prevention of violence against Indigenous women, also known as the Red Dress Day in Ottawa, Friday, May 5, 2023.
A national inquiry reported five years ago that they are 12 times more likely to go missing or be murdered. NDP MP Leah Gazan, whose efforts on the file led a House of Commons committee to study the prospect for a national alert system, called the announcement a small but significant step.
