This Report includes a snapshot of current findings and recommendations consistent in the literature and reports, and identifies where alignment is required across existing strategies, including Australia’s human rights obligations, to deliver on the objective of the standalone National Plan to end violence against First Nations women and children. The Wiyi Yani U Thangani (Women’s Voices) Project The Wiyi Yani U Thangani (Women’s Voices) project provides both a framework for responding to the needs, rights and aspirations of First Nations women and girls and collates the evidence for what needs to be done to implement reforms and improve the lives of women and girls. The Wiyi Yani U Thangani (Women’s Voices): Securing our Rights, Securing our Future 2020 Report was the result of a year-long engagement process in 2018 with First Nations women and girls, from ages 12+, from urban, regional and remote areas across every state and territory. It was the most comprehensive process since the 1986 Women’s Business report—the first time Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women were consulted nationally. The Wiyi Yani U Thangani Report (2020) and accompanying Implementation Framework (2021) highlight the significant opportunities of recognising and investing in women and girls’ strengths and including their voices in policy design and the development of initiatives that can drive systemic change and break cycles of disadvantage. Ending violence is at the centre of the Wiyi Yani U Thangani Project. The holistic and interconnecting principles, recommendations and actions of Wiyi Yani U Thangani are an intersectional approach for forming policies. They include suggested pathways forward such as developing models to access safe and secure housing and creating structures for women’s economic security and empowerment, all of which are pivotal to improving outcomes across all socio-economic indicators and enhancing safety. These interconnecting approaches to address the drivers of violence presented throughout Wiyi Yani U Thangani are captured in Figure 2. They are set out across the four major thematic areas of Wiyi Yani U Thangani. The diagram is reflective of the need for a whole of system holistic approach to target the systemic drivers of violence and create conditions for intergenerational wellbeing and safety.
