Courtney Ugle is a proud Noongar woman from Bunbury, WA, and the
founder of Waangkiny: an organisation committed to breaking down
the stigma of silence in First Nations communities. Courtney lost
both of her parents in tragic circumstances when she was young. She
lost her dad first at 11 years old, and her mum when she was 19
years old. Since then Courtney has shared her story to ensure that
no other young Indigenous person experiences what she did.
Indigenous people are 33 times more likely to be hospitalised as a
result of family and domestic violence, and eight times more likely
to be killed as a result of family and domestic violence than non
Indigenous counterparts, and in this episode Courtney helps us
understand some of the reasons behind these stats. We were honoured
that Courtney chose to share her story with us
