Recognizing Red Dress Day, Moose Hide Campaign Day and Sexual Violence Awareness Month

Red Dress Day, Moose Hide Campaign Day and Sexual Violence Awareness Month all take place in May. Each of these initiatives provide a reminder and opportunity for Canadians to educate themselves on these important topics.

• Red Dress Day, May 5, 2024 – Red Dress Day raises awareness about ongoing violence and disproportionately high rates of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit individuals, as well as brings attention to the systemic issues that contribute to this ongoing crisis.

• Moose Hide Campaign Day, May 16, 2024 – This Indigenous-led grassroots movement engages both Indigenous and non-Indigenous men and boys in ending violence towards women and children. People nationwide wear Moose Hide pins as a symbol of commitment to take a stand against violence and undo the effects of Residential Schools.

• Sexual Violence Awareness Month, May 1–31, 2024 – Community organizations host events across the province to raise awareness, challenge attitudes and promote a culture of consent.
