Amplifying the Voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women and Girls

The Federal Government will invest $2.8 million over three years to deliver the final stage of the Wiyi Yani U Thangani (Women’s Voices) project. This will include a national summit chaired by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner June Oscar, AO, that will focus on women’s leadership and decision making, as well as addressing family, domestic and sexual violence.

The Wiyi Yani U Thangani project set out to capture what Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and girls consider to be their strengths, challenges and aspirations.
