This International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, CEVAW will host a 90-minute webinar to celebrate Indigenous joy, love, excellence, solidarity, strength, and survivance.

The panel, who are all Indigenous researchers at various stages of their academic careers will talk, sing, or bring some spoken-word-zing. 

In this webinar, attendees will hear about the joys of: 

  • creative practice and research intersecting to honour ancestors 

  • using cultural practice for education 

  • working with communities and having fun 

  • caring for ourselves and each other as a form of survivance 

  • Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions to the fabulous panelists during a dedicated Q&A portion of the webinar.

This date, adopted in December 1994 by UN General Assembly Resolution 49/214, marks the date of the first meeting of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations of the Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights held in Geneva in 1982. 

The Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (CEVAW) is the world's first Centre to address the full range of forms of violence against women in Australia and the Indo-Pacific region.
