‘It's something that's going to bring comfort to the families’
Local advocates are in favour of a Red Dress Alert system that would instantly alert the public when an Indigenous person goes missing.
She has spent her career raising awareness for the murdered and missing along the 724 kilometre length of Highway 16. “It's something that's going to bring comfort to the families and also, I guess to myself, because it's just another tool that we can add. It's been very difficult to bring that awareness sometimes to our communities, to different people, to public places where they need to be.”“There might be a chance, a split second, where we'll be able to intervene because they’ve seen their picture.
Gazan and other advocates have continued pushing for a public alert system that would send a notification to phones, televisions and radios when an Indigenous woman disappears. “The Red Dress Alert will be an important tool to ensure when families’ loved ones go missing, they are found as soon as possible.”
