Peak body · National advocacy
We work alongside our members, communities, partners, and allies to drive systemic change and support culturally safe, community-led solutions to end domestic, family, and sexual violence.
Who we are
First Nations Advocates Against Family Violence (FNAAFV) works in collaboration with its members from the Family Violence Prevention and Legal Services (FVPLS) sector to increase access to justice for First Nations people and communities affected by domestic, family, and sexual violence — predominantly women and children.
We are a self-determined, community-controlled national peak body committed to amplifying the voices of our members and advocating for reforms that improve safety, justice, and wellbeing for First Nations women, children, and their communities.
National LeadershipWe bring together organisations, partners, and governments to strengthen collaboration and drive change.
Evidence & SolutionsWe elevate lived experience and research to inform effective, culturally grounded responses.
Strong Communities & ServicesWe support the FVPLS sector to deliver culturally safe, community-led services across the country.
Advocacy & ReformWe influence national policy, legislation and funding to improve outcomes for First Nations women and families.
Daa’ring Yarning – Voices from the Frontline is a safe space for sharing stories of strength, culture, and connection from First Nations communities. The podcast highlights ideas and programs that help reduce violence against women and children, while supporting healing for those impacted by family violence.
Daa’ring (taa’ring) is a Kabi Kabi word meaning “strong,” representing resilience and the collective strength of women, children, families, and communities.
Join us as we explore how culture, community, and collective healing contribute to safer, stronger futures.
