OUR WOMEN HAVE SPOKEN — IT IS TIME TO ACT

The women of Wadeye and Peppimenarti have spoken. Now it's time for governments to listen and act.

The newly released Mapping Women and Children’s Safety in Wadeye and Peppimenarti report, commissioned by the Thamarrurr Aboriginal Women’s Council (TAWC), captures the voices of 85 participants and identifies six key priorities to improve the safety of women and children.

The message is clear: local women know what needs to change and have identified practical solutions.

TAWC is calling on all levels of government to back these women with coordinated action, long-term funding and genuine commitment.

“We cannot keep asking women to be courageous enough to speak about violence if we are not prepared to be courageous enough to change the systems that allow it to continue.”

The women have done their part. Now it's time for action.

Carers NT – Supporting Carers Across the Territory

31/05/2026

A very productive meeting was held with the Northern Territory Minister for Aboriginal Affairs during his visit to Wadeye.

We were pleased to hear the Minister confirm that funding has been committed for the Port Keats Road upgrade, a significant step forward for our region and a long-standing priority for local communities.

We also discussed the important work currently underway to map services and identify gaps relating to the safety and wellbeing of women and girls. A comprehensive report, including findings and recommendations, will be presented to the Minister in the coming months to help inform future action and investment in this critical area.

Dr Chay Brown will be visiting Wadeye and Peppimenarti from 1–5 June to meet with women, community groups, services and local leaders to yarn about women’s safety, safe communities, and the supports we have — and still need — for women and girls across the region.

The week will focus on listening to local voices, identifying service gaps, strengthening connections, and supporting community-led solutions for safer futures for women and girls.

Strong women. Safe communities. Better futures for our girls.

Lord Jesus,

We come together as women — mothers, grandmothers, aunties, sisters and daughters — holding the family and community of Kumanjayi little baby in our hearts.

We pray you take precious Kumanjayi little baby in Your care. Wrap Your loving arms around this child and bring gentle peace.

Walk beside the family in their grief. Give them strength, comfort, and love in the days ahead.

May the ancestors receive this little spirit and hold her close.

Amen.
