Urgent: Middle East Crisis
After an airstrike hit his village in Lebanon, Hussein and his family fled. They returned to find most of their village destroyed. With the increased conflict in recent weeks, stories like his will become more and more common.

How we advance First Peoples justice

Straight Talk
Our Straight Talk program brings together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women from around the country to meet politicians, learn about Australia’s political system, and leverage/wield/use those learnings to make change happen in their communities.

Enabling just and fair transitions
Our First Peoples programs supports projects that redirect/divert funding from policing and prisons into community-led social programs that reduce Aboriginal incarceration.

Advocating for access to climate finance
We defend the traditional rights of First Nations people to access their land and water resources so they can sustain fishing practices and livelihoods, and restore ancient cultural practices and knowledge systems to protect Country.

Building climate resilience
We are working alongside communities to respond to the increasing risk of climate disasters. We align with local partners to help communities address climate risks, shocks and uncertainties.

Enabling just and fair transitions
We are moving towards an environmentally sustainable economy that is no longer reliant on fossil fuel energy and contributes to decent work for all, social inclusion and the eradication of poverty.

Advocating for access to climate finance
We are strong advocates for the Australian Government and other wealthy nations increasing climate finance, which is international funding to support climate action in low-income countries. This is a matter of global justice: those who have contributed least to the causes of climate change are typically the most vulnerable to its impacts, and have the least resources to respond.
