First Nations women at forefront of talks on gendered violence crisis
ABCIn short: Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Commissioner Micaela Cronin has convened a national roundtable as the national crisis of violence against women continues. The disproportionate number of First Nations women affected by violence is at the forefront of roundtable talks in Canberra, where the country's gendered violence experts, service directors and survivor advocates have gathered. Palawa woman and chief investigator at the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, Kyllie Cripps, told the roundtable that while individual stories of the circumstances of women's disappearances or murder were powerful in their own right, it was the power of accurate data shedding light on the number who had died that allowed researchers to see "patterns in system failures, in risk management, and in types of violence we have yet to prioritise". The commissioner had hoped the roundtable would mean a "cohesive, cross-sectoral approach to advancing objectives" of the 10-year National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children, including discussion of suicide following violence.
