We acknowledge Aboriginal Peoples are Australia’s first Peoples and the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which we work. As advocates we want to make real the goal of gender equality and promote women’s rights as human rights. This includes nurturing an environment that respects and values Aboriginal women and peoples, and their cultures and rights.
