Indigenous Conference Services is pleased to announce successful papers accepted for presentation during the 2015 National Indigenous Women's Conference to be held at Hilton Hotel in Darwin, Northern Territory on September 28-30, 2015.
- (1888PressRelease) April 20, 2015 - The overwhelming response of the Call for Papers clearly indicates the interests of organizations and individuals to improve Indigenous women's wellbeing throughout this nation and the expectation of increase attendance from last year's event which proved to be highly successful.. More than 50 % of the accepted papers are from community-based organizations, wishing to share successes in programs implemented within their communities which goes with the philosophy of the conference in highlighting successful Indigenous initiatives from a community level. Registration numbers are filling fast; hence, we encourage anyone who wishes to attend the conference to register as soon as possible.
One of the featured speakers of the conference are Aboriginal youth coordinators, Kathy Edwards and Bianca Mark of SHineSA whom will be presenting about respectful relationships and sexual health in young Aboriginal people living in rural and remote communities. Consequently, Ms. Leanne Pilkington from BreastScreen WA will prove to be one of the highlights of the event with her motivational presentation about women empowerment.
In addition, this newsletter aims to provide you some insight of the accepted papers for presentation during the 2015 National Indigenous Women's Conference are as follows:
-Clement Chun Wai Ng, Criminal Lawyer from NT Legal Aid Commission will be presenting a paper entitled: 'Invisible female Indigenous offenders in the youth justice system: What's the problem? An illustration from the Northern Territory perspective.'
