Galactic winds are expected to be nearly omnipresent in dwarf galaxies based on theoretical considerations and several indirect observational evidences. The direct observational proof for their presence is far more elusive, contrary to the widespread expectation that dwarf galaxies are very favourable places to observe galactic winds. Interstingly, there is much better direct observational evidence for galactic winds from massive galaxies. I review critically the different methods, their relative sucesses to detect galactic winds in dwarf galaxies, and also comment on the future observational possibilities.
