We all have seen programs come and go but we are the ones that are committed to being here, we know what works best for our communities…we need opportunities so we can be at the decision-making table
Our Focus Areas and Projects
More than anything else the Kimberley Aboriginal women we consulted, wanted to share positive stories and success stories about themselves and other Kimberley Aboriginal women.
Sharing and promoting stories and success significantly increases the esteem of women and girls that can have a lifelong impact.
The Wiyi Yani U Thangani (Women’s Voices) Community Guide on page 6 states, “First Nations women and girls have diverse strengths that support all aspects of life…Investing in First Nations women and girls is an investment in society.”
Jean O’Reeri from our Wyndham consultations stated, “Role models can be found anywhere we just need to find them, value them and promote them.” Natasha Short from Kununurra formed a business called Kimberley Birds to increase the profile and entrepreneurship of Kimberley Aboriginal women and girls. At the Roundtable Natasha challenged all the women to take their rightful place in the community and economy and be seen and heard.
The Council would like to affirm Kimberley Birds and other businesses and organisations in the Kimberley by working together to promote Kimberley women and girls.
