Australia Human Rights Campaign Analysis

Australian Human Rights Commission is an organisation in which targets protecting and promoting human rights all around Australia. Their mission is to make human rights values a necessity and a main part of everyday life, empowering all people to understand and exercise their human rights, and working with many other organisations, individuals, communities, and those affected. I believe that this organisation is a good representation of how Australia’s are doing their bit in order to help the less fortunate. Human rights have become an international issue; therefore it is the same for everyone; male and female, young and old, rich and poor, regardless of our background, where we live, what we think or what we believe.

This is why this campaign has been doing many beneficial, educational and helpful deeds to influence the rest of Australian’s, the government and the communities and individuals concerned.

This campaign strives on the idea of the right to a distinct status and culture; something in which the Government did not do, instead they changed the Aboriginal’s beliefs. By this campaign makes the aborigines aware, it helps maintain and strengthen the identity and spiritual and cultural practices of Indigenous communities. They also believe that they have the right to self- determination, for the Indigenous communities to take control of their lives, and make vital decisions. The government and other companies have helped out with this, but it is needed to be expanded and more action needs to be taken. ‘Social justice and human rights for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s’ campaign makes the Indigenous communities aware of their rights, and try to help them out when needed. Another right they try to pursue is the right to land, and this is where finance takes place, without the money they can’t afford land. The government is now offering a lot more jobs for the Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders, so this is encouraging them to buy and use land. Although around the globe, Indigenous communities are under assault by corporations that want to exploit their lands for mining, oil, logging, and agro-industrial projects. Their protests however are
