💜 Let’s show up. Let’s speak up. Let’s Blackout Violence. 💜

Wirringa Baiya is proud to be part of the Blackout Violence campaign at the 54th NSW Aboriginal Rugby League Knockout on Worimi Country.

Together with Breaking Silent Codes , CEVAW, WAGEC’s All In Program and the Newcastle Yowies, we’re coming together to raise awareness of domestic and family violence and stand together in support of the safety of Aboriginal women and children.

Throughout the Knockout, teams will be wearing purple armbands in honour of the women and children we have lost to domestic and family violence, and to stand together in support of those experiencing violence.

There will also be a dedicated Women’s Safety Tent, providing women and girls with access to safety information, education, resources and support.

If you’re heading to the Knockout, come by the Women’s Safety Tent, grab a purple armband and stand with us as we Blackout Violence. 💜

🚨Currently in NSW, people in prison are only allowed one free call per week. After that, each 10-minute call is $2.59. This can cost over 15% of someone’s total weekly income while in prison - for one phone call. 🚨

For our clients in custody - who are mothers, sisters, friends and partners - phone calls can make all the difference. You can read Amos’ story on About Time: https://www.abouttime.org.au/experiences/ten-minutes-of-hope-why-prison-phone-calls-matter

are doing amazing work, campaigning for unlimited free phone calls for people incarcerated in NSW to nominated numbers. Make sure you sign their petition at the link in our bio, to call on real action and real change. ✊🏾

Today, we proudly celebrate Aboriginal Flag Day.

A day to honour a powerful symbol of identity, strength, resilience and connection to Country.

This year’s Aboriginal Flag Day falls during NAIDOC Week 2026, as we mark the theme “50 Years of Deadly”, celebrating five decades since the establishment of the first entirely Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led NAIDOC Committee.

Our flag tells a story of survival, pride and resistance. As we reflect on the generations who have paved the way, we also look forward with hope, continuing to walk together for the generations to come.

❤️💛🖤 Happy Aboriginal Flag Day.

✊🏾 This year represents five decades of NAIDOC - and five decades of celebrating and recognising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander strength, resistance, culture and achievements since the very beginning, over 60,000 years ago.

We pay our respects to all those who built this movement - to our Elders past and present, to organisers, to artists, to communities, to mob.

NAIDOC is more than a week - it is a platform, a protest, a celebration, and a statement of survival.

The fight for justice continues. To the next 50 years, with our future generations. ✊🏾
