As part of the Wiyi Yani U Thangani (Women’s Voices) project, social justice commissioner and Indigenous rights activist June Oscar AO is trekking across the country to seek out ideas for change. 

Women of Katherine will have the opportunity to participate in face to face consultations next week when the team arrives. 

Through a series of community gatherings across the country, commissioner Oscar’s project will inform a report to the Federal Government about what is important to Indigenous women. 

The consultations tie in with a new online survey, which can be taken here, ensuring all Indigenous women have the opportunity to partake.  

Commissioner Oscar and her team have been travelling the country to listen to women and girls about their strengths, priorities, aspirations, needs and challenges.

“In the spirit of self-determination and a human rights based approach, this project will hear and honour the voices of Indigenous women and girls,” commissioner Oscar said. 

“We want our report to come from a position of strength, because we are strong women.”

The consultations will be happening at Katherine Hospital’s O'Keefe House from 9.30am to 1.30pm.
