Aboriginal cultural rights in youth justice centres – Jul 2018

Aboriginal cultural rights in youth justice centres is a joint report by the Commission for Children and Young People (CCYP) and the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission (VEOHRC). In late 2017, VEOHRC and CCYP partnered to conduct a series of interviews with youth justice stakeholders and Aboriginal cultural knowledge holders about how young people in Victoria’s youth justice centres could be better supported to maintain and develop their connections to culture and community.
