Today, we observe the National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIW), a day dedicated to raising awareness about the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and 2-spirit people in Canada.

This day serves as a solemn reminder of the ongoing violence and systemic injustices faced by Indigenous women and girls across the country. It is a time to advocate for change and urge governments and institutions to address the underlying causes of the MMIW crisis. It is critical to recognize that the issue of MMIW is not only a societal concern but also has significant implications for health care. Health care providers and institutions must strive to establish a culturally sensitive and respectful health care system that meets the needs of Indigenous peoples.
