Our Yanalangami Program empowers women through culturally meaningful and community relevant tools that promotes the inherent leadership and resilience of First Nations women. In doing so, Yanalangami helps shift the enduring negative mainstream discourses towards Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women by amplifying the incredible voices and Changemaker stories of First Nations women throughout Australia.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a10ee42 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a10ee42\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-185209a\" data-id=\"185209a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56ad048 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"56ad048\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Connecting Strong Women<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19f60cc elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"19f60cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In 2021 the inaugural program connected 16 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, investing in their skills and empowering them as Changemakers locally and nationally. Due to the unforeseen circumstances of covid-19, the inaugural program ran online providing a valuable space of cultural connection to the women during an unprecedented time of community disconnection. We are proud that 15 Changemakers successfully completed the program, becoming our first cohort of Yanalangami graduates.<\/p><p>In its first year, Yanalangami was recognised by the Australian Human Rights Commission for its vital work in enhancing First Nations women\u2019s leadership on the ground. This was an incredible milestone for the program which was made more special by a valuable connection for our team with the Social Justice Commissioner Aunty Dr. June Oscar AO, a proud Bunuba woman and leading gender justice advocate. Our team was proud to facilitate a Yarning Circle Session with our 2021 Yanalangami Changemakers and Aunty Dr. June Oscar. It was a memorable and inspiring evening for all involved.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cea0e6f\" data-id=\"cea0e6f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-016f3a7 elementor-absolute elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"016f3a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_position&quot;:&quot;absolute&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-quote-left\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e29d6fe elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-testimonial--skin-default elementor-testimonial--layout-image_inline elementor-testimonial--align-center elementor-pagination-type-bullets elementor-widget elementor-widget-testimonial-carousel\" data-id=\"e29d6fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_per_view&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;slides_to_scroll&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;space_between&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:0,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;pagination&quot;:&quot;bullets&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;loop&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;space_between_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;space_between_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"testimonial-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/yanalangami.com.au\/wp-content\/plugins\/elementor-pro\/assets\/css\/widget-carousel.min.css\">\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-main-swiper swiper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTo the Yanalangami Changemakers can I just say, WOW...I have been completely blown away learning about your journey and I congratulate you all on making this investment to yourselves and your communities....
