Hey. This has nothing really to do with fanfics and I'm sorry. Its just that, this is something really important to me. But before we get into that I want to wish you all a good 2024! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday time and got some time to relax!
Just so you know there will be a tw for this post. Readers discretion is advised.
Now. I have something to say. You might not know it but may is MMIW awareness month in the US and in Canada. Maybe you heard it in school. Maybe u saw it on a poster. (Most likely you have heard the watered down version) But, what is MMIW? Well it stands for
Missing
Murdered
Indigenous
Woman
In Canada and the US there is a higher percentage of indigenous woman, girls and two spirited people being killed than any other group of people. (I can't go into more detail but if you want more info dm me or search it up. But be careful. It can be very disturbing to some people)
The reason I'm talking about this in January is because not a lot of people know about it. It feels like only the people in the Indigenous community, My community is really aware. People don't talk about it enough. The government isn't doing anything about it. Just search up "search the landfill".
Please, if you want to help. Wear red during may. Research about it. Spread it. I know you must be thinking "oh I don't live in north America. Why does it effect me?" And I just want to say. You might be right. It might not effect you. But if effects others. It effects our sister. Our mothers. Our daughters. And if you know about then maybe someone else will. Then someone else. Then almost everyone will know about it. The pressure on the people who can do something about it but don't.
I know that this is early. But I'm hoping this gets seen before then. I hope people see this and are informed. I know it has nothing to do with honour, or like anything I have ever posted but I didnt know where start with this.
