Native Hawaiian actor Auliʻi Cravalho wore a red handprint on her face in support of the No More Stolen Sisters movement at the premier of new series The Power on Friday.
No More Stolen Sisters campaigns to raise awareness, and reduce incidence, of violence against Indigenous women.
Native American women are up to ten times more likely to be murdered or sexually assaulted, but while the US National Crime Information Center reported that as of 2016 there were 5,712 reports of missing American Indian and Alaska Native women and girls, the US Department of Justice's federal missing person database, NamUs, had only logged 116 of the cases.
Amnesty International and Missing and Murdered Indigenous women (MMIW) fight to bring awareness to the fundamental human rights abuses at the core of both violence against women and the failure of law enforcement agencies to properly investigate such crimes.
Ms Cravalho, who shot to prominence as the voice of Moana, showed her support for the No More Stolen Sisters movement by wearing a red handprint across her mouth, a symbol used to indicate solidarity with movement and with Indigenous women across the continent. The red hand over the mouth represents the voices of the silenced.
