We had a wonderful day of celebration and reflection this week for the 16 days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence. Local services and the wider community were invited to our Kungas' office to share in a smoking ceremony and words from Arrernte elder Kumalie Kngwarraye and share in some special cake and afternoon tea.

A Throughcare support program for First Nations Women in Alice Springs Correctional Centre and in the community.
About us
The Kunga Program is based in Alice Springs and works with women who have been incarcerated in Alice Springs Correctional Centre for a violent offence. The program runs a 4 week course in prison for the Kunga participants to build trust, gain insight, skills, and confidence. The women are then visited in prison each week by case managers and are assisted to make plans for when they are released. It is a voluntary program and seeks to help women break cycles of violence in their lives and to keep them out of prison. The Kunga program continues working with women for 12 months after they are released through intensive and responsive support, home visits, referrals, mentoring, a drop in space, and social programs.

The Kunga Stopping Violence Program along with Her Story Consulting have released a statement regarding the final report and recommendations of the Senate Inquiry into Missing and Murdered First Nation Women and Children. We are disappointed and disheartened and stand with victims, their families and communities who deserve better.
