OUTLOOK - Local woman Kaytlyn Stevens just wanted to do her part.
On Monday, May 5, which is recognized as Red Dress Day, Stevens could be seen standing in silence, her face painted red and clad in a red dress while brandishing a sign in support of the drive to bring further attention to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women & Children (MMIWG).
Stevens stood out by the busy intersection of Outlook's McKenzie Street and Saskatchewan Avenue all day, spreading the message and hopefully increasing awareness of the campaign to bring more attention to one of Canada's darkest chapters.
Red Dress Day honours the memories of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls across Canada. Métis artist Jaime Black helped inspire the red dress movement, where red dresses are hung from windows and trees to represent the pain and loss felt by loved ones and survivors.
