    Family Violence is NOT our way ‼️ Violence against Aboriginal women is not an Aboriginal community problem Family violence is the primary driver of removal of Aboriginal children from their families. Aboriginal mums must be supported, not blamed. #WeHaveTheSolutions#Djirra

    RESPOND by backing our self determination WE HAVE THE SOLUTIONS. It’s taken a pandemic for the government to temporarily change child protection legislation in relation to permanency of care. Temporary COVID-19 changes must be made permanent. #AboriginalWomensLivesMatter#Djirra
