After living in such tight knit communities and witnessing first-hand the atrocious domestic violence cycle that most of my patients were in, I was beyond motivated to bring attention to the subject. I knew no better way than to send it to the media, as well as International and National bodies for Indigenous Affairs.
Here is the short list who heard from me:
UN Human Rights Committee
Australian Council of Social Service
Aboriginal Social Services/Affairs
Australian Human Rights Committee
Aboriginal Families Support Services
National Aboriginal Committee for Community Controlled Health Organizations
International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs,
plus a couple of magazines and newspapers.
I guess in this instance, I way over used my freedom of speech, but I hope I'm at least heard!
