Walking Together: CNIC, IJM and Strong Women Talking Partner for Change
At Cultural Nexus Indigenous Corporation (CNIC) and Indigenous Job Match (IJM), we believe in the power of partnership. True change happens when community-led organisations come together, share strengths, and stand in solidarity. That’s why we are proud to highlight our partnership with Strong Women Talking - Marigurim Mubi Yangu Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders Corporation an organisation making a profound impact in the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and their families.
Who Strong Women Talking Are
Strong Women Talking is a grassroots, Blak-led organisation that works with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women who have experienced domestic and family violence. Their programs focus on prevention, healing, cultural empowerment, and restoring women’s voices. Guided by culture and lived experience, they create safe spaces for women to share stories, find support, and begin their healing journey. Their vision is simple but powerful: that every woman can stand strong, proud, and free from violence.
