Jasmine Cavanagh, a young woman from the Northern Territory community of Santa Teresa pursued ground-breaking legal action to hold the NT Government responsible for the poor state of housing in her community.
In 2019, Ms Cavanagh’s change-making work was recognised with a Human Rights Award.
Ms Cavanagh is one of many individuals and organisations who have been recognised, acknowledged, and celebrated by the Australian Human Rights Commission for their tireless work within the human rights sector.
The Human Rights Awards are an opportunity to celebrate human rights achievements, and to share the important work of organisations, businesses, and individuals across the nation.
