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!

NITV will screen a discussion on family violence,
We Say No More, next week.
A panel of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander experts in family violence seek to educate the broader community on the current situation faced by First Nations peoples.
The panel helps address behaviour and how to actively become a part of the solution.
Filmed at the Brisbane Powerhouse Museum with five panellists and a studio audience, journalist, artistic director and Bundjalung woman, Rhoda Roberts, will host the discussion.
Directly after the second episode of See What You Made Me Do, NITV will air this standalone response program where panellists unpack how domestic abuse impacts Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women.
