Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander social justice
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander social justice focuses on ensuring Indigenous Australians have equal rights, opportunities, and access to resources as other Australians. It addresses historical and ongoing disadvantages related to health, education, employment, land rights, and cultural recognition. The goal is to close gaps in well-being and social outcomes, respecting Indigenous cultures and sovereignty while promoting fairness and inclusion. Social justice efforts seek to empower Indigenous communities, rectify past injustices, and foster a society where everyone’s rights and dignity are upheld.
