It’s the Week of Action for MMIWR! We must continue to leverage our voices to fight for and spread awareness about our matriarchs and relatives who have been taken from us. These statistics are astounding, and yet these crimes still remain invisible in the media and the justice system. Read through to learn more about this violent crisis affecting Native communities and how you can help!

It’s National Day of Awareness for Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women & Relatives. Help spread awareness by wearing red and sharing these powerful quotes from our grantees. We must protect our relatives and continue to fight for safety, resources, data and justice!

During this month’s observance, help us sound the alarm on sexual assault awareness and prevention. Native Women experience incredibly high rates of sexual violence. Did you know, according to Amnesty International, American Indian/Alaska Native Women are 2.5 times more likely to be victims of sexual assault compared to the rest of the country? At R2HF, we continue to fight for our Indigenous communities and Native Women. Donate NOW at the link in bio to join us in our mission. We must continue working to protect, support, uplift and seek justice for our matriarchs.
As Native Peoples, we hold the land, water and air as our living and sacred relatives that we support, strengthen and preserve. Mother Earth must not be exploited, as she gives us resources, care and life.

This #MatriarchMonday, we spotlight 2025 Our Sisters Are Sacred Fund grantee, Zunneh-bah Jim! The project empowers families to navigate legal systems, raise awareness, demand justice and care for one another. Guided by traditional teachings, we strengthen safety, foster collective healing and uphold sovereignty—ensuring Navajo communities are protected, heard and supported with dignity, compassion and love. Our project combats the #MMIWG2S crisis by providing direct assistance, advocacy training and culturally grounded healing. We recognize that the #MMIP and trafficking crises affect Indigenous Peoples of all ages, genders and sexual orientations. Through our Missing Persons Community Action Toolkit, we equip families, advocates and agencies with the tools to navigate complex systems and demand justice.
“Supporting and uplifting Native Women, Girls and Two-Spirit peoples is vital as they face some of the highest rates of violence, discrimination, disappearance and homicide in the U.S., rooted in over five centuries of colonial violence and systemic racism. The Diné are traditionally matriarchal and matrilineal, with women leading in family, land and community stewardship.” -Zunneh-bah J.

Today, we recognize the wage gap between Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women and white non-Hispanic men. 50 years of “trickle-down” economics have created record levels of income inequality. AANHPI women earned about 83¢ to every $1. Enough is enough. This #AANHPIEqualPay day, we need leaders to support our communities and help us achieve livable, equitable wages.

THANK YOU for six years of R2HF! We are so proud to have created this foundation to successfully uplift and support Native Women who bring help and healing to Indian country through unique projects. Native Women are at the foundation of strong Native communities, and we must provide the necessary support to amplify their voices, ideas and projects to help create a better world.
Native Women are incredibly underrepresented in philanthropic funding, and we’re helping to lead the fight in changing this system. To join us, DONATE NOW at the LINK IN BIO!

Did you know, according to 2024 Census data, the wage gap for women compared to men is 81 cents on the dollar for full-time, year-round workers.
When you compare it to all earners, including full-time, year-round earners, part-time and part-year workers, the wage gap widens to 76 cents. On this #EqualPayDay, join us in urging the EEOC to not rescind the EEO-1 and related data collections!

It’s #EqualPayDay! We’re committed to helping spread awareness on the #WageGap. Even today, women from all backgrounds in the United States continue to face pay discrimination. The wage gap is even larger for women of color. You can’t fix discrimination if you erase the data.
Right now, the EEOC is considering rescinding the EEO-1, a long-standing data collection used since the 1960s to track workplace inequality. Without it, discrimination does not go away. It just becomes harder to prove and easier to ignore. Enforcement gets weaker. Accountability disappears. Join us in urging the EEOC to not rescind the EEO-1 and related data collections.
