AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL AUSTRALIA PERTH WORKSHOPS 2012

Members of the Nyoongar Tent Embassy were involved in a three-day human rights workshop that was presented by Amnesty International Australia.  The workshop gave insights into human rights and how they relate to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People. Content was particularly geared toward promoting an understanding of the criminal justice system within Western Australia along with tools and skills in effective campaigning for social change.  Fourteen Aboriginal People from Western Australia completed the workshop, with a number of Nyoongar Tent Embassy members among them.
