SNAICC’s Our Ways – Strong Ways – Our Voices was officially launched at Parliament House, marking a huge moment in the effort to end domestic violence for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families.
This plan is the first of its kind, developed to create culturally safe and self-determined solutions in partnership with communities, including the voices of those who know what works to make women and children safe.
Unaddressed harm often leads to our children entering out-of-home care. This plan works to prevent violence, support families, and keep children connected to culture, family, and community
Our Ways – Strong Ways – Our Voices is a whole-of-society approach to increasing safety, wellbeing and healing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and children.
Our Ways – Strong Ways – Our Voices is the result of decades of advocacy, leadership and collective wisdom from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, communities and services to address the complex issue of family, domestic and sexual violence. The Plan has been developed in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, organisations and individuals; voices that have long been calling for a national plan dedicated to the safety of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and children.
