SRES 194 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution designating May 5, 2023, as the "National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Native Women and Girls".

SRES 194 designates May 5, 2023, as National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Native Women and Girls. The resolution directly addresses the disproportionate violence faced by Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian women by calling for public commemoration of victims and solidarity with affected families. It uses May 5 - the birthday of Hanna Harris, a Northern Cheyenne woman whose case is cited in the resolution - as the designated date for awareness efforts. As a Senate resolution, it serves as a symbolic recognition of this issue rather than creating new legal obligations.
