Domestic violence in Indigenous communities ‘deserves far greater national attention’
Domestic violence in Indigenous communities is an “epidemic that deserves far greater national attention,” according to Sky News host Rita Panahi. Ms Panahi said Indigenous women are 35-times more likely to be hospitalised for domestic violence than any other Australian women, which climbs to up to 95-times more likely in some communities. She said the numbers should be the “focus of intensive coverage” and a source of “great shame” to all Australians. “Domestic violence is not just a crisis in Indigenous communities. It is an epidemic that deserves far greater national attention,” according to Ms Panahi. “Yet most activists prefer to focus on changing the anthem, the flag and the Australia Day holiday than talk about an issue that is literally a matter of life and death.
