| dc.description.notes | This section on family violence and Aboriginal law is taken from the Background Paper by Law Reform Commission of Western Australia. The Law Reform Commission is concerned about any risk for women and children through the formal recognition of Aboriginal law. This looks at family violence and the position of Aboriginal women under Aboriginal law. It shows the agency of Aboriginal women and their use of law and culture to work against violent acts perpetrated by Aboriginal men. Aboriginal women play a role in Aboriginal law and act as moral arbiters. However, it explains that the agency of Aboriginal women has been ignored or misrepresented. Consultations found support for the potential of Aboriginal law in establishing community harmony. This paper also highlights the problems associated with non-Aboriginal women interpreting the status of Aboriginal women. A literature review on feminism and Aboriginal women is provided, including issues of eurocentrism denying the agency of Aboriginal women. | en |
