Today, on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honor the survivors of residential schools and acknowledge the deep pain and trauma endured by Indigenous families and communities across Canada. This day serves as a powerful reminder of the injustice faced by Indigenous Peoples and the importance of listening to their stories. It is a moment to reflect on the lasting impacts of these institutions, recognize the strength of survivors, and commit to supporting healing and reconciliation efforts.
Reconciliation is more than a one-day event; it is an ongoing process of learning, understanding, and taking action. As individuals and communities, we must work together to foster a future where Indigenous rights are respected, and their voices are amplified. Let’s use this day as a call to action—whether through education, advocacy, or meaningful partnerships—to contribute to a more inclusive and just society for all. 🧡

*Submission of Our Report to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child
We are thrilled to announce that the Negev Coexistence Forum for Civil Equality, in collaboration with SIDREH Sidreh, has submitted a detailed report to the UNCRC Committee on the Rights of the Child. This report evaluates Israel's compliance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child, particularly concerning the Bedouin children in the Negev-Naqab.
Our findings reveal severe challenges and systemic barriers, including insufficient access to education and healthcare, the destabilizing effects of home demolitions, deep-rooted poverty, and food insecurity. A particularly alarming issue is the stark lack of protection for these children during times of conflict, leaving them extremely vulnerable.
By sharing this milestone, we reinforce our commitment to advocating for the fundamental rights and safety of all children in the region. We urge the international community and local stakeholders to join us in advocating for urgent and substantive changes.
This achievement wouldn't have been possible without the invaluable contributions of our dedicated NCF team, the local communities who bravely shared their experiences, and the unwavering support of our partners.
We plan to engage directly with the global community at the 97th session in Geneva to seek actionable commitments and foster international cooperation to uphold these children's rights and ensure the voices of the Bedouin children are heard.

Saying 'sorry' is just the beginning. As Aboriginal people, we know that true reconciliation requires real action. This Sorry Day, let's confront the ongoing injustices our communities face. Since Sorry Day 2023, we've seen too many headlines about systemic failures – from the defeat of the Voice to Parliament amid racist misinformation to the increasing number of our children in out-of-home care. 'Sorry' should lead to tangible change. At AbSec, we're committed to several key projects aimed at making a difference. We focus on early intervention, family preservation, Aboriginal-led Commissioning, Aboriginal out-of-home care Transition, carer support and Indigenous Data Sovereignty. These are just a few examples of the work we're doing to ensure our children, young people, and families thrive. We need more allies to help close the gap. We are grateful to the advocates in NGOs and government who support us, but we need more voices to amplify our cause. Our people, although only 3.8% of Australia's population, embody a rich culture worth preserving and celebrating. Join us in turning 'sorry' into meaningful action. Together, we can build a future of respect, equality, and healing for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. #SorryDay#Reconciliation#AbSecNSW It's time to move beyond 'sorry' and make real, lasting change for our people.

**Stop Injustice: A Call for Change and Solidarity**
In our interconnected world, the fight against injustice, particularly in regions like Palestine, demands urgent attention and unified action. The concept of "zulm" illustrates the pervasive nature of oppression and inequality faced by communities worldwide.
To effect meaningful change, we must raise awareness through powerful platforms like social media. By using hashtags such as #StopInjustice, #HumanRights, #PalestineSolidarity, and #JusticeForAll, we can amplify marginalized voices and galvanize global support for justice and equality.
Advocacy extends beyond virtual spaces; it requires tangible efforts. Supporting grassroots movements, engaging in dialogue, and demanding accountability from policymakers are crucial steps towards a fairer society. Education plays a pivotal role in dismantling stereotypes and fostering empathy towards those affected by injustice.
As advocates for human rights, we must strive for inclusive societies where everyone's rights are respected. By standing in solidarity with oppressed communities and advocating for systemic change, we can build a future where justice prevails and every individual can live with dignity and freedom. Together, let's create a world where #NoMoreInjustice is not just a hashtag, but a reality.
