Girls Can Boys Can
April 29, 2021
The Girls Can Boys Can Project shows equal and respectful relationships between girls and boys, so that kids can thrive and grow up to be whoever they want to be and free from discrimination. Women are more likely to experience domestic, family, and sexual violence in their lifetime than men. Violence against women occurs in society and in relationships where women and men ARE NOT EQUAL . When women also experience racism, this increases their risk of experiencing violence. Violence against women is preventable. To stop violence before it begins, children need to see and hear equal and respectful relationship between girls and boys and women and men. The Girls Can Boys Can Project is working with parents, carers and educators of kids to create messages for books, clothing, posters and toys that show the healthy, fun, equal and respectful relationships between girls and boys, along with the strengths of Aboriginal children, families and communities.

Strong Community Control in Town Camps
By IT Support July 30, 2020
Today the Tangentyere Council executive including the Men's Family Safety Group welcomed the Chief Minister, Michael Gunner, to the Council for a ceremonial signing of a Local Decision Making Agreement (LDM) with the Northern Territory Government. Our CEO, Walter Shaw, said “this is a momentous occasion for the Northern Territory Government and Tangentyere as well as the Town Camps of Alice Springs and the Housing Associations”. The Chief Minister noted that “this Agreement is proper recognition of what you want to achieve, what you can achieve and how to work together to make sure that happens. The First priority – You are in charge of your own housing, I think that is a really important place to start everything”. The LDM Agreement sets out the priorities for changes to occur, with emphasis on the first priority of a community controlled housing model for all of the Town Camps and aims to deliver long-term wellness outcomes. Walter highlighted “this is where Aboriginal people have community control handed back to them … and self-determination is the vehicle for that change”.
