First Nations Women and Children: Shocking and Incomplete Statistics on Murder Rates
August 2024
Concerning Statistics
Recent data highlights the alarming rate of murders among First Nations women and children in Australia. These figures, while incomplete, paint a disturbing picture of violence and systemic neglect. Reports indicate that First Nations women are murdered at a rate significantly higher than non-Indigenous women.
In Numbers
1 in 3 First Nations women experience physical violence in their lifetime.
1 in 10 First Nations children are affected by violence at home, a rate double that of non-Indigenous children.
These statistics highlight the critical need for more comprehensive data and stronger protective measures for First Nations communities.
