澳大利亚土著妇女因家庭暴力死亡的比率是非土著妇女的六倍,其中76%的案件涉及亲密伴侣或家庭成员1。尽管数十年来政府进行了多次调查和审查,但这一危机依然未得到有效遏制。一项新的研究表明,问题的症结并非知识缺乏,而在于政府对土著社区长期建议的实施和问责不足。
研究对2020年至2025年间提交给澳大利亚联邦议会的32份土著社区组织意见进行了审查1。这些组织多年来一致呼吁的核心原则是自主决策权,这一诉求已持续超过40年1。土著社区明确提出的具体建议包括建立土著主导和文化安全的服务体系、保护数据主权、推进去殖民化进程,以及向土著社区组织提供可持续的资金投入1。
针对这一僵局,独立议员Allegra Spender呼吁建立具有法定权力的家庭、家庭及性暴力委员会,以追踪政府在实施相关建议方面的进展1。这一提议旨在通过建立正式的监督机制,确保政府对土著妇女和社区长期以来的建议承担责任。
Indigenous women in Australia face a family violence death rate six times higher than non-Indigenous women, with 76 percent of these deaths caused by intimate partners or family members 1. Despite decades of government inquiries and reviews, this crisis persists largely due to implementation failures rather than a lack of evidence or solutions.
A research analysis of 32 submissions from Indigenous community organizations to the Australian federal parliament between 2020 and 2025 reveals a consistent pattern: governments have repeatedly ignored concrete recommendations from those closest to the problem 1. Indigenous communities have called for self-determination—a core principle advocated for over 40 years—alongside culturally safe services led by Indigenous practitioners, data sovereignty, decolonization efforts, and sustained investment in community organizations 1. Yet these evidence-based solutions remain largely unimplemented.
The core issue is accountability. Independent member of parliament Allegra Spender has called for the establishment of a statutory Family, Domestic and Sexual Violence Commission to track the implementation of such recommendations 1. Without enforceable mechanisms to translate decades of expert guidance into policy and practice, the cycle of inadequate government response will likely continue, leaving Indigenous women and communities without the protections they have long advocated for.
