Australian woman saying something about climate and women
 

You're gonna have to explain this one to me in normal speak Toy Soldier because I don't know what she's saying?

It's because they're a marganilsed group in the first place.

Indigenous people that is.

They haven't got a good history of respecting indigenous people. I mean we went in there and raped them/took over their country. Removed children from their families. Just Google this stuff and then what she is saying will make complete sense

Australia was colonised by the British many, many years a go. We wlsent prisoners over there because our prisons were full....we gave no fecks about the indigenous people and farmers/prisoners would rape them, remove their children etc

Similar to what happened in Rotherham and Rochdale?

"The world is burning, females most affected"

No way.

It was a genocide in Australia. Thousands of aboriginals were raped and murdered....poisoned.

So fairly similar?

"We" ?

I didn't realise you were so old.

You're completely missing the point.

In 2010-12, the average life expectancy of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people was approximately ten years (10.6 years for men and 9.5 years for women) less than that of non-Indigenous Australians.[7] Leading causes of death included heart disease, diabetes, respiratory disease and cancer.[8]
Just over half (52.2 per cent) of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged between 15 and 64 years were not employed in 2012-2013, compared with 24.4 per cent of non-Indigenous Australians.[9]
One in five Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women experienced physical violence in the previous 12 months, compared to 7 per cent of non-Indigenous women. Over the same period, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women (12 per cent) were three times more likely to experience sexual violence than non-Indigenous women (4 per cent).[10]
In 2008, half of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 15 years and over had some form of disability.[11] In non-remote areas, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were one-and-a-half times more likely than non-Indigenous adults to have a disability or a long-term health condition.[12]
Around one in twelve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults are part of the Stolen Generations. In 2008, 8 per cent (26,900) of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 15 years and over stated that they had been removed from their natural family. 35 per cent assessed their health as fair or poor and 39 per cent experienced high or very high levels of psychological distress.[13]
The national imprisonment rate for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults is 15 times higher than that for non-Indigenous adults.[14] In the December quarter of 2013, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people comprised 28 per cent of Australia’s full-time adult prison population.[15]
There were approximately 250 Australian Indigenous languages spoken at the time of colonisation. However, a 2005 survey found that only 145 Indigenous languages are still spoken to some degree and less than 20 are considered to be “strong” and able to be spoken by all generations.[16]

They're already a marganilsed group and climate change might make this worse because of services, cost of living, more of a focus on non+aboriginals, health etc etc

Talking about the British.

Stop trying to be a smart arse twerp

Sorry I thought you were on about the Rochdale scandal

Muslims who haven't committed terror attacks don't (and obviously shouldn't) say "we" when talking about those who have, they don't share blame, and modern people don't share blame with our ancestors.

"We" did no such thing.

What a pedant

"Removed children from their families"

Yes TC
that is tragic.

Assuming we all know what sexual and domestic violence is, and we all know what they mean by the climate change part - increase in natural disasters such as wildfires, flooding, extreme weather events such as hurricanes and tornadoes (although I can’t say I know how prone Australia is to those).

The link between the two is that when a natural disaster occurs there’s a resulting civil chaos for a while; emergency services swamped and unavailable,friends, family and neighbours distracted by dealing with the immediate problems - and that leaves women who are already vulnerable to violence more at risk of abuse and violence from opportunistic people using the confusion and chaos as cover. HORRIFICALLY, rapes and sexual assaults against displaced people in things like emergency accommodations/shelters is not uncommon.

In terms of domestic abuse, it’s just a general statistical fact that people in domestic violence situations are more at risk in times of high stress and uncertainty… that’s when a violent partner is most likely to get physical or controlling.

This is basically what I was trying to say, but you have articulated it better.

And it relates more so to aboriginals because they are even more discriminated against

The fun stuff.

















I'm just being morbidly sick before anyone thinks that I really think that those days were great times.
