Summary of Bill HRES 353

Bill 118 HRES 353, also known as the "National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls," is a resolution that expresses support for designating May 5, 2023, as a day to raise awareness about the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in the United States. The resolution aims to bring attention to the disproportionately high rates of violence and disappearance among Indigenous women and girls, who are often overlooked and underserved by law enforcement and the justice system.

The resolution acknowledges the historical and ongoing injustices faced by Indigenous communities, including the systemic violence and discrimination that contribute to the high rates of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. It calls for increased efforts to address these issues, including improving data collection, enhancing coordination between law enforcement agencies and tribal communities, and providing resources and support for victims and their families.

By designating May 5, 2023, as the "National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls," this resolution seeks to honor the memory of those who have been lost, raise awareness about the ongoing crisis, and mobilize support for concrete actions to address the root causes of violence and injustice in Indigenous communities.
