The research is funded under the Australian Research Council\u2019s Linkage Projects scheme. It asks how young women experience systems that were designed for males, with the aim of improving service delivery to young women and thereby reducing their contact with these systems.<\/p>\n
The project will provide an excellent opportunity for an emerging Indigenous scholar to build research skills and networks and to contribute to reducing the over-representation of Indigenous young women in the justice system.<\/p>\n
The project is a partnership between\u00a0QUT<\/a>, the\u00a0University of South Australia<\/a>,\u00a0Anglicare Southern Queensland<\/a>,\u00a0Anglicare NSW South, NSW West & ACT<\/a>,\u00a0Anglicare South Australia<\/a>,\u00a0Anglicare Western Australia<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Anglicare Northern Territory<\/a>, all of which have a strong commitment to justice for Indigenous peoples. It will involve working with young women to design and conduct the research. It builds on a pilot project,\u00a0Youth Voices<\/a>, which was co-designed with a group of Aboriginal and\/or Torres Strait Islander young people.
