Breaking The Silence NSW
Breaking the Silence: Creating the Future. Addressing child sexual assault in Aboriginal communities in NSW released in 2006 was the report of the Aboriginal Sexual Assault Taskforce (ACSAT) in NSW, Australia, headed by Aboriginal leader, Marcia Ella-Duncan. The Task Force was set up by the NSW Attorney General's Department to look at why child sexual assault happens in Aboriginal communities and how government and NGOs respond to it. ANTaR (Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation) stated that the government response makes sense, but they are concerned that the government refused to fund the program.{{Cite web , url=http://www.antar.org.au/ , title=ANTaR - Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation , access-date=17 October 2007 , archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070408220835/http://www.antar.org.au/ , archive-date=8 April 2007 , url-status=dead See also * Little Children are Sacred *Northern Territory National Emergency Response The Northern Territ ...

Aboriginal Australian Health
Indigenous health in Australia examines health and wellbeing indicators of Indigenous Australians compared with the rest of the population. Statistics indicate that Aboriginal Australians and Torres Strait Islanders are much less healthy than other Australians. Various government strategies have been put into place to try to remediate the problem; there has been some improvement in several areas, but statistics between Indigenous Australians and the rest of the Australian population still show unacceptable levels of difference. Colonisation and ongoing disadvantage Prior to European colonisation, it is likely that the health of Indigenous Australians was better than that of the inhabitants of poorer sections of Europe. Colonisation impacted the health of Indigenous Australians via land dispossession, social marginalisation, political oppression, incarceration, acculturation and population decline. The process of colonisation began with the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
