| dc.description.notes | General Overview: This Australian report outlines the proceedings of the “Breaking the chains – reclaiming our future” forum on Indigenous family violence prevention.<br/ ><br/ >Discussion: The forum was attended by men and women from urban, rural and remote communities across Queensland and a small group from the Northern Territory. The aim of the forum was to highlight good work that is being done in addressing family violence, share information, provide opportunities for workers to network and to identify issues to be addressed.<br/ ><br/ >Keynote addresses were given by Dr Jackie Huggins on behalf of Tom Calma, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner, Debbie Kilroy representing Sisters Inside and Dr Harry Blagg, Crime Research Centre, University of Western Australia. Topics discussed in these addresses included the relationship between human rights and Indigenous customary law, the importance of grass roots initiatives rather than top down approaches, the daily infringement of human rights of women in prison and racist attitudes towards Indigenous women who are victims of violence.<br/ ><br/ >Plenary sessions were held on working with Indigenous men and working with women and children. Representatives from a number of community organisations outlined their projects and yarning circles were held to discuss topics including working with men, working with children, Indigenous customary law and strong women. The “ten minute bites” session allowed workers to briefly present information about their work.<br/ ><br/ >The report includes results of the forum evaluation, which indicated a high level of satisfaction with the forum held by participants. | en |
