Aboriginal Health Council of South Australia, 2019
Partnering with the University of Adelaide and the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute, the Aboriginal Gender Study aimed to explore, from a strengths-based perspective, the diversity of contemporary perspectives of gender, gender roles and gender equity in South Australian Aboriginal communities.
The project addressed three overall questions comprising:
1. What is the current evidence about gender roles and gender equity in the Australian
literature and Australian policy documents regarding Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander people?
2. What is the current understanding of gender roles and relationships in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities?
3. What might gender equity/fairness look like for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people, adults, families and communities?
