The bill S. 566, introduced in the South Carolina Senate, aims to declare May 5, 2025, as "Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Red Dress Day" in the state. This resolution seeks to honor the lives of Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit individuals who have been lost or are still missing, while also recognizing the ongoing struggles of their families and communities in seeking justice. The resolution highlights the national emergency surrounding the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people (MMIWG2S), emphasizing the high rates of violence and abduction faced by Indigenous women and the systemic barriers that often hinder investigations.

Additionally, the resolution calls for citizens of South Carolina, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, to participate in remembrance events by wearing red and displaying red dresses as a symbol of solidarity and awareness. It marks the first formal recognition of MMIW Red Dress Day by the South Carolina Senate, signifying a commitment to address the MMIW crisis, human trafficking, and systemic injustices affecting Indigenous women and girls. The resolution also pledges collaboration with Tribal Nations, advocates, and state agencies to support initiatives aimed at combating these issues. A copy of the resolution will be sent to relevant tribal entities and state officials.
