MMIW: Raising Awareness Shirt

MMIW stands for Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women. MMIW is a movement that advocates for the end of violence against Native women. It also seeks to draw attention to the high rates of disappearances and murders of Native people, particularly women and girls. Some statistics:

• About 4 out of 5 Native women have experienced violence
• Native women were about twice as likely than white women to experience violence
• Native women face murder rates 10 times the national average
• The murder rate for Native women is about 3 times more than that of white women

These statistics demonstrate the need to put a stop to these horrendous tragegies that continue to plague Native communities throughout Turtle Island.

Designed by Tuscarora Artist Murisa Printup, this shirt is intended to help raise awareness about the Murdered & Missing Indigenous Woman issue. The red dress has become a symbol of the #mmiw movement.
