The Project
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner June Oscar AO is leading a national conversation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and girls to hear their priorities, challenges and aspirations for themselves, their families and their future.
Wiyi Yani U Thangani (Women's Voices) will explore:
- the needs, challenges and aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and girls today
- the key achievements in relation to the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and girls over the past 30 years
- ways to enhance the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and girls so that they can lead happy, healthy and fulfilling lives
- ways to promote and protect culture.
Wiyi Yani U Thangani (Women's Voices) engagements were undertaken throughout 2018. The Wiyi Yani U Thangani (Women’s Voices) report is in preparation.
Stage 2 of Wiyi Yani U Thangani (Women’s Voices) will engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander senior women through a limited number of additional gatherings in 2019 and 2020.
