HRES 353 United States House · 118th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of May 5, 2023, as the "National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls".

This resolution designates May 5, 2023, as the "National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls" to honor victims and support families. It asks the public to commemorate affected individuals and demonstrates solidarity with impacted communities. The bill also recommends the Justice Department commission a new study to update statistics on violence against Indigenous women, referencing the 2016 DOJ study that found 84.3% experienced violence in their lifetime. This symbolic measure aims to raise awareness and encourage federal action, without changing laws or allocating new funding.
