05.01.2022 An important article on how many women with acquired brain-injuries have developed their disabilities as a result of violence. With so much knowledge of this direct correlation, it is extremely disappointing that the present reforms to the NDIS National Disability Insurance Scheme propose to deny funding to to Australians with acquired brain injuries.

01.01.2022 Human Rights Day 2020 Theme: Recover Better - Stand Up for Human Rights This year’s Human Rights Day (HRD) theme relates to the COVID-19 pandemic and focuses on the need to Build Back Better by ensuring Human Rights are central to the recovery efforts.... We will reach our common global goals only if we are able to create equal opportunities for all, address the failures exposed and exploited by COVID-19, and apply human rights standards to tackle entrenched, systematic, and intergenerational inequalities, exclusion and discrimination. 10th December is an opportunity to reaffirm the importance of human rights in re-building the world we want, re-iterate the messages we pushed at the height of the COVID-19 crisis, the need for global solidarity as well as our interconnectedness and shared humanity as human beings.
