21.01.2022 Today is #InternationalHumanRightsDay and the Australian Human Rights Commission released a landmark report on Australia's First Nations women and girls called "Wiyi Yani U Thangani - (Women's Voices) - Securing Our Rights, Securing Our Future Report 2020". This report is a call to action to enable communities to thrive and overcome profound disadvantage, and is a result of over a hundred engagements with thousands of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and girls of ...all ages in remote, very remote, regional and urban communities. We gave Indigenous women and girls the space to say what they wanted, to share their ideas, without fear or favour. That’s exactly what they did. My team and I have been moved by the sheer resilience of our First Nations women and girls, who despite ongoing disadvantage across all areas of life, continue to hold their communities and families together. - Commissioner June Oscar AO To read the report go to https://humanrights.gov.au//publicati/wiyi-yani-u-thangani Day sixteen of #16DaysOfActivismAgainstGenderBasedViolence.
