The use of the red dresses to represent MMIWG was originated by Metis Artist Jamie Black in 2010 in her exhibit "The Red Dress Project". This art installation displayed over 100 dresses around the University of Winnipeg Campus to represent the women missing in the community and to raise awareness about the issue. Today the Red Dress Project continues to be used across Canada as a representation of Indigenous women and girls lost to violent crime and as a call to action to prevent future violence.
