First Peoples: A Healing Journey

First Peoples: A Healing Journey

$15


Description

Tearfund supports the Christian organisation Strong Women Talking, a movement of First Nations women who are passionate about breaking the cycle of violence caused by domestic and family violence and sexual abuse. Akahlia, a proud Butchulla, Woppaburra and Bunjalung woman, took part in a Healing Journey, a series of culturally safe workshops that help women support each other to learn about healthy relationships. Her artwork “My Aboriginal Land – The Healing Journey” is pictured here. This gift supports women as they journey to healing.

How your gift helps

Tearfund’s partner Strong Women Talking is a movement of First Nations women who are passionate about breaking the cycle of violence caused by domestic and family violence and sexual abuse.

Akahlia, a proud Butchulla, Woppaburra and Bunjalung woman, took part in a Healing Journey, a series of culturally safe workshops run by Strong Women Talking that help women support each other to learn about healthy relationships. Now, Akahlia says, “I talk more openly about stuff; I am not afraid to speak about things. I have a voice. I have a strong voice and I am not afraid to speak out for myself.”
