Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives (MMIWR) is a community-based grassroots movement created to address and bring awareness to the lack of response when a Native women, girl, transgender or two- spirit relative goes missing or is murdered. CSVANW’s Land and Body Violence program creates an opportunity for training, education and workshops to provide community support, healing, and to spread awareness of the ongoing crisis. CSVANW strives to provide best practices when working with impacted families and advocates.

Looking to the Future
Land and body violence is especially prevalent in rural communities. It is very important for our women, girls, youth, and LGBTQ2S relatives to be aware of the ongoing MMIWR crisis in the tribal communities. CSVANW will continue to provide training and education, and workshops to proceed with spreading awareness. We will also provide updated resources and support for the impacted families, and advocates. Storytelling workshops will also be provided to give those who are impacted by MMIWR a safe space to share their stories and lived experiences. Outreach and prevention of MMIWR will help to educate our youth, communities tribal communities.
