At a rally in Des Moines on May 5, 2019, attendees wore red to honor the lives of missing and murdered Indigenous women in Iowa.
The statistics are devastating. According to the National Institute of Justice, four out of five American Indian or Alaska Native women have been victims of violence, and over half of Native women have been victims of sexual violence. Some advocates against such violence believe these numbers may even underestimate the severity of the issue. 
Trisha Etringer, a member of the Winnebago Tribe living in Sioux City, got involved in advocating for greater awareness of violence against Native and Indigenous women after she found out one of her own aunties had gone missing and was found dead in California.
