Key Points

This resolution officially marks May 5, 2025, as a day to remember Indigenous women and girls who have been victims of violence. It encourages people across the country to learn about these cases and stand with the families of those who are missing or gone.
The Senate is calling for a new government study to get updated numbers on this crisis. The last big study was done in 2016 and showed that more than 4 out of 5 Indigenous women experience violence in their lifetime.
The resolution also points out that Tribal communities often do not have enough funding for emergency services. It recognizes that while some progress has been made to improve how police handle these cases, there is still a lot of work to do to keep these women safe.
