SRES 674 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution designating May 5, 2024, as the "National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Native Women and Girls".

This resolution designates May 5, 2024, as the "National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Native Women and Girls" to honor victims and raise public attention. It calls on the American public and organizations to commemorate affected women (both documented and undocumented cases) and show solidarity with families. The resolution is symbolic - requiring no new funding, laws, or government action - solely aiming to increase awareness of this crisis. It directly affects Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities by acknowledging their disproportionate vulnerability to violence. The resolution references specific statistics on violent crime rates against Native women and the case of Hanna Harris, a Northern Cheyenne woman whose murder highlighted this issue.
