In order to continue the implementation work of Wiyi Yani U Thangani after my term as Social Justice Commissioner ends, and to respect the clear message from women and girls that the Wiyi Yani U Thangani Project must be more than a consultation period with a report, the Wiyi Yani U Thangani First Nations Gender Justice Institute (the Institute) is, at the time of writing, has just been established at the Australian National University (ANU). The Institute was launched alongside the Change Agenda for First Nations Gender Justice in March 2024, around the time of this Report’s publication. The Change Agenda for First Nations Gender Justice is a Blackprint for transformation, setting out the change that First Nations women and girls want to see in the world, for themselves, their children, families, communities, Country and culture. The Change Agenda defines how we make change happen through a systems change measurement, evaluation and learning (MEL) approach, and sets out the work of the Institute in driving this change. Through strong partnerships and collaborations with First Nations women, governments, the ANU, other universities, the private sector, and philanthropists, the Institute will design and scale-up First Nations gender-informed approaches and initiatives and support the translation of evidence into policy development and design. (b) Wiyi Yani U Thangani and the native title system As with all elements of Wiyi Yani U Thangani, the Institute will model best practice First Nations women-led governance, driven by principles of cultural governance, self‑determination and co‑design, to ensure the knowledges, skills and lived experience of First Nations women are front and centre. As I noted in the Wiyi Yani U Thangani Report, the enjoyment of rights associated with access to and protection of Country, and control over resources on Country, are integrally related to the enjoyment of many other human rights for Australia’s First Peoples. That connection works both ways: recognition of land rights is integral to our ability to enjoy our rights and promote our well-being in other ways, while other rights, such as to services on Country and to equal access to education and justice, are integral to our ability to enjoy our rights to Country and culture. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ identity is inextricably linked to Country. For our mob, safety, health, and wellbeing are found at home. Nonetheless, too often, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and girls who live on Country are not provided with readily accessible and suitable services, including services for women and girls with disability. This lack of adequate support is undermining women and girls’ sense of place and belonging and presents an obstacle to the realisation of a range of economic, social, and cultural rights.48 In Wiyi Yani U Thangani Chapter 11, ‘Land and Country’, which sits within Part Three of the Report, ‘Living and Belonging’, I discuss the right to Country, culture and knowledge, and the experiences and views of First Nations women and girls in this regard. That chapter highlights how difficult it is to separate our native title rights, and other rights to Country, from our capacity to enjoy all our other human rights. For that reason, Part Three also includes chapters on service delivery, housing and homelessness, and disability. I will provide a brief summary of that chapter here as it was the foundation from which this Native Title Report has grown. 32 Women in Native Title: Native Title Report 2024
