flag Manitoba to launch Red Dress Alert system next year to address missing Indigenous women, modeled on Amber Alerts.

flag Manitoba is advancing plans for a Red Dress Alert system to address missing Indigenous women and girls, following a report by Giganawenimaanaanig that found current reporting processes are ineffective due to distrust in police and cultural gaps. flag The proposed system, modeled after Amber Alerts, would include a 24-hour call center, coordinated search efforts, and Indigenous-led response. flag Supported by the province, it could launch next year. flag The move responds to longstanding community demands and the stark reality that Indigenous women and girls face a homicide rate six times higher than non-Indigenous women, according to 2023 Statistics Canada data.
