MMIWR is a movement that advocates for the end of violence against Native women and relatives(Men and our Two spirit our included). It also seeks to draw attention to the high rates of disappearances and murders of Native people, particularly women and girls. The MMIWR movement exists because a large number of Native women go missing and are murdered each year compared to women from other groups.
The leaders of 2024 AZ IFRD recognize the power we have as women to support other women and the people who love them. This is a movement we know needs attention and support, and with Native Lady Riders among us, it means even more.
