A SHARING OF STORIES: Indigenous Women’s Movements in Australia

The Indigenist Feminist (InFem) project explores the vital role of First Nations women’s movements in Australia in shaping policies to end violence. Through case studies of Galiwin’ku Women’s Space and Strong Women Talking, the report illustrates how these organizations provide essential protective factors, such as collective care and cultural healing, to combat disproportionately high rates of violence. It concludes that while mainstream movements often erase Indigenous experiences, First Nations-led activism remains the primary force for justice and sustainable community safety.
