Notes:	Ali Curung is located 150 km south east of Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory. Since 1996 members of the community have worked together in a comprehensive community capacity-building programme that has become a model for the region. High on the Ali Curung list of priorities that need addressing are alcohol abuse and family violence. A group of women and with the cooperation of the men of Ali Curung have established and now operate a safe house and a night patrol. They have also initiated a dispute resolution process, which involves the people in conflict, their families and other community members in consultation with the elders and often the Night Patrol. The role of the Police is kept to a minimum in dispute resolution. The amount of violence has decreased as women come to the safe house. As part of efforts to explain the dynamics and effects of violence in the Community, Marjorie Limbiari, a member of the Night Patrol and the Women’s Committee, has prepared the painting reproduced in this poster. The painting is a graphic representation of two-way education using mainstream theory on violence and alcohol abuse and traditional dot painting symbols of the Australian Indigenous desert peoples.
