How Courtney Ugle is breaking the cycle of domestic violence

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 <3
