In the wake of a significant defeat in the recent referendum, Australian Indigenous leaders are urging a collective ‘week of silence.’ The referendum outcome, a blow to Indigenous rights initiatives, has prompted this symbolic gesture. Leaders argue that the silence is a poignant way to draw attention to the marginalized voices now stifled by the referendum’s result. The proposed week aims not only to mourn the setback but to raise awareness globally about the ongoing struggles for Indigenous rights. This silent protest stands as a powerful reminder of the persistent challenges faced by Australia’s Indigenous communities.
