Supporting Indigenous young women

We partnered with the Alannah & Madeline Foundation to provide a new stream of online safety education, supporting the Stars Foundation Cyber Safety initiative.

The Safe Sistas program aims to empower young Indigenous women to have a safe and positive online experience, equipping participants with the skills to support their personal safety and privacy in a culturally relevant way.

A program evaluation was conducted with the Department of Indigenous Studies, Macquarie University, identifying the process and outcomes of the program and future recommendations.
