Galiwinku Womens Space Aboriginal Corporation

Galiwin’ku Womens Space (GWS) was formed in 2015 by a group of dedicated Yolŋu women passionate about finding a solution to the ongoing domestic family violence being experienced within the Galiwin’ku community. GWS works with local, Territory and national service providers to support projects that seek to create a solution to domestic and family violence in Galiwin’ku.

GWS members are part of several community groups and committees that discuss community life and projects to build resilience and development for the region. These community groups seek a stronger, resilient community and agree that domestic violence has become the norm and community belief that violence against women cannot change.

Our Vision – We are committed to stopping the cycle of violence and will tirelessly pursue innovative ideas that will help build a stronger and safer community.

Our Mission – To stop the cycle of violence and create real change in our community by empowering women in the community to come together to support and encourage the healing and wellbeing of each other.

Our Values – We have three main values; Community, Organisation & Members. We exist as an organisation only because of the values we inherited from our community that respects, celebrates and communicates Yolŋu culture.
