On #RedDressDay, we honour the lives of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people. This is a public health crisis rooted in colonial violence, systemic racism, and structural inequity. CPHA calls for justice, accountability, and systemic change to end this ongoing tragedy.

From #Gaza and #Sudan to #Ukraine, #DRC, #Haiti and many more, children are paying an immensely high price for conflict.
They are severely affected by violence, destruction of schools and infrastructure, and compromised health services.
They need safety, services and peace.
