Racism Report

Submitted by Jade.Jamieson on

Last week we spoke to some First Nations kids about what Reconciliation Week means to them, and many said racism is still a problem in Australia that needs to be stamped out. We take a look at a recent report that has found something similar and find out how Australia’s history is still impacting Indigenous people.

If you're upset by that story or anything else you see in the news, make sure you talk to someone about it. You can also call Kids Helpline on 1800 55 1800, and we have put together some tips for dealing with upsetting news.

Let's Talk About Racism

Submitted by monique.duggan on

This resource is tailored to young people who are starting to think about important human rights-related matters, like race discrimination.

We know that many First Nations children and those from culturally and linguistically diverse communities can identify personal experiences of racism from a very young age. Instead of denying racism, or claiming that we don’t see race, we need to acknowledge that for many First Nations people and people from culturally and linguistically diverse communities, race is not something that can or should be forgotten or ignored. 

We need to talk to children – early and often – about the role of race and racism in society.

You can read more about the research on this in our Questions and Context pages linked below:
