Report on Aboriginal People

Boni Robertson, Chairperson
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women’s Task Force on Violence


In accepting this challenge we must no longer allow ourselves to be portrayed as victims, but as proud and strong people. In our unique ability to endure all odds, we have stood tall and we have survived. Through our collective efforts, we can break the cycle of violence and we can work toward a future that allows our children to be proud of their cultural identity and to live a life free of fear of ongoing violence and abuse. These are the goals to which we must all aspire.
