Taking a Shortcut Through the Long Grass : The 2016 Grace Vaughan Memorial lecture by Dorinda Cox, Project Officer, Keeping Kids Safe Project Other events...
The 2016 Grace Vaughan Memorial lecture by Dorinda Cox, Project Officer, Keeping Kids Safe Project, Women’s Council for Domestic and Family Violence Services WA and Managing Director of the Inspire Change Consulting Group.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are 35 times more likely to be victims of violence than any other women in Australia. To effect change we need to contextualise the experiences of Aboriginal women with both the historical and contemporary factors that enable gender based violence to continue to this magnitude and within such a small minority group. This lecture will explore some of the questions for this issue in Australia.

This annual lecture commemorates the life and achievements of parliamentarian Grace Vaughan and is presented by the Australian Association of Social Workers, the Institute of Advanced Studies at The University of Western Australia and Department of Local Government and Communities Western Australia.
