The second day of the National Summit on Women’s Safety is takes place today, and of the issues raised were those of Anthropologist and Indigenous leader Professor Marcia Langton.
Professor Langton says Indigenous Australians need their own local and regional plans to reduce violence against women, as the current national initiatives have proven to be ineffective.
Langton suggests that the national plan of the past 12 years must be involved in designing local initiatives.
The women’s safety summit will be used to inform the next national action plan scheduled to start in mid-2022.
