Ochre Ribbon Week 2021

This week, our CAWLS team reflect and acknowledge Ochre Ribbon Week 🎗️

A time to raise awareness and discuss the devastating impacts of domestic & family violence in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and call for action to end the violence – particularly for women and children.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are 34 times more likely to be hospitalised as a result of family violence and 10 times more likely to die from a violent assault than non-Indigenous women…

Let that figure sink in … 😔

⚠️ Violence against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women is a national emergency ⚠️

CAWLS will continue our work for all women as we fight to break the horrific cycle of violence against women and their children in the Northern Territory ✊
