Domestic Violence does NOT discriminate.
It doesn’t matter if you re black, white or brindle. It happens in every town, city, state, country around the world!
What does discriminate, however, are the systems in place; systems that are
set up to fail so many women, but especially Aboriginal women.
Discrimination and racism are two of the leading factors when it comes to systems failing Aboriginal women: they are used as a form of power and control which in turn makes them, in many instances, the enabler of violence that results in death.
They are in my view two of the biggest perpetrators of violence, because it is violence!

But advocates pointed out at the time that these stories weren’t exactly rare, they were just starting to be caught on camera.
