Wiyi Yani U Thangani (Women’s Voices): Securing our Rights, Securing our Future 2020 Report has been released!
Wiyi Yani U Thangani (Women’s Voices): Securing Our Rights, Securing our Future 2020 holds the voices and stories of over 2,000 First Nations women and girls of all ages, from all across Australia, belonging to hundreds of different ancestral countries. The report carries their incredible strengths, unyielding determination and diverse lived realities.
Wiyi Yani U Thangani provides a well overdue gender lens to all aspects of life from health to justice, employment, safety, land and country, child protection and education.
It provides the evidence that the inequalities experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and girls are perpetuated and entrenched by mainstream systems and structures that have marginalised the voices of women and girls for generations. Wiyi Yani U Thangani sets out a comprehensive plan for large-scale structural change needed to combat and overcome these inequalities.
