The #MeToo movement highlighted the power of speaking up on a global scale; \u003ci\u003eFrom Red Dresses to Memory Stones\u003c\/i\u003e offers a timely and necessary investigation of GBV activism in Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNicolette Little interviews numerous activists and explores five anti-violence media projects in detail: the REDress Project and Disposable Red Woman installations, which draw attention to Canada's crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls; the digital memorialization of murdered Ontario women on each anniversary of the \"Montreal Massacre\"; the documentary \u003ci\u003eSlut or Nut\u003c\/i\u003e, filmed during the lead-up to a rape trial; and the Memory Stones Project, in which beach stones are painted with anti-violence messages, then posted across social media.
