WHO ARE WE?
We are a group of Yolngu women that engages with the community to provide a stronger and safer community free from domestic and family violence.
While acknowledging that both Yolŋu Law and Balanda Law has a place and must be upheld, we provide a positive space with strong roots in community and Yolnu culture. We support women, children and families (including men) in Galiwin’ku to overcome domestic and family violence by providing a range of crisis and preventative support resources and services.
