AWAFN Cancer Screening Awareness Project
The African Women's And Families Network (AWAFN) was one of several organisations funded by the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing through The Social Policy Group to plan and deliver culturally and linguistically appropriate information to the African-Australian community to improve awareness of, and participation in, state and national screening initiatives for bowel, breast and cervical cancer.
AWAFN has commenced this project by focussing our support on women and girls in the African-Australian community of the South-Eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Our first information event took place last Saturday 5 October at Dandenong's Gloria Pyke Netball and Sports Complex.
Despite battling wild weather on the day, participants who made it to the event through the heavy thunder-storm and strong winds expressed keen interest to find out about cancer screening opportunities and engaged with information providers, asking many questions. Our AWAFN project is designed to inform the community about the availability of these important cancer screening initiatives and answer any questions about how to access them, why they are important in saving lives, and address any myths and misunderstandings in the African-Australian community about cancer screening.
Following the initial event last Saturday, the project will continue with plans to create and deliver several videos featuring trusted community leaders. These will be mostly targeting information about bowel cancer screening towards the men in our community. AWAFN believe that by making women our key focus, but also including men in the project, we will start the process of a lifetime of commitment to cancer screening that will bring accurate health information into the family domain.

'Early detection can save your life'
Former Greater Dandenong Mayor Eden Foster MP , now State Member for Mulgrave in the Victorian Parliament, recently shared her health experience with the Melbourne Age newspaper readers to highlight the need for us all to be vigilant with our health. 'If you notice anything with your body that isn't quite right, please get it checked out, just like I did,' she writes. 'Early detection can save your life'. Eden hopes her story will encourage others to visit their GP – and push for answers if “something feels different”. Read her article here.

AWAFN Multicultural Seniors Consultation
The Centre for Cultural Diversity in Ageing (The Centre) recently facilitated a multicultural seniors' co-design and consultation workshop in collaboration with African Women's And Families Network (AWFAN). This was one of three forums conducted in partnership with Impacto Consulting, Spectrum Migrant Resource Centre, and Southern Migrant & Refugee Centre. The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission and the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing also participated as observers. The Centre consulted with seniors from diverse cultural, linguistic and faith backgrounds on what it means for them to age well.
These workshops are informing the Centre's work to advise the federal Department of Health and Aged Care on what is important to seniors from African and other CALD communities as they age and access care, such as home care or residential aged care. The Centre have developed a consultation report for the Australian Government.
The AWAFN consultation was held at the Dandenong Offices of Settlement Services International (SSI) on 9 September. AWAFN was pleased to collaborate with the Centre for Cultural Diversity in Ageing which is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing under the Partners in Culturally Appropriate Care (PICAC) program and supported by Benetas. The Centre provides expertise in culturally inclusive policy and practices for the aged services sector.

AWAFN Supports African Australian Carers in Victoria

Enhancing belonging for African diaspora youth in Australian schools
The African Diaspora Youth Belonging in Australia project seeks to explore how belonging is experienced in Australian schools by Black African diaspora youth, and what schools can do to enhance belonging for these youth. The project works with a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach to engage young people as co-researchers to work with their peers and teachers in schools. This project is funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC) and University of South Australia .
As the number of Black African diaspora youth increases in Australia, their sense of belonging becomes an increasingly urgent social issue. On the one hand, many Black African diaspora youth now struggle to belong in hegemonically white Australian schools and society. Yet ‘belonging’ is an aspirational demand of policies that reflect the norms of an Australian national identity based on cultural diversity and multiculturalism. Robust evidence is needed to advance reforms to schooling that provide African diaspora youth the opportunity to thrive at school, transition to higher education and/or employment, and contribute fully to Australian society.

Experiences of racism at the ABC
A review of experiences of racism at the ABC found "systemic" issues that had disadvantaged diverse staff. Staff reported racist abuse, cultural ignorance and being passed up for opportunities. Culturally diverse staff at the ABC have been mistaken for other people of the same background, subjected to racial slurs, and passed up for career opportunities because of their backgrounds, a comprehensive examination of experiences of racism within the national broadcaster has heard.
The review led by Indigenous lawyer Terri Janke was commissioned after several prominent departures from the ABC, including high-profile reporter Stan Grant, citing "institutional failure" to respond to racist abuse from the community and incidents within the broadcaster.
The "Listen Loudly, Act Strongly" report spoke to 120 participants comprising current and former ABC staff to hear their experiences of racism at work.
The ABC has accepted all the Review's recommendations in principle, and appointed the former race discrimination commissioner - Chin Tan - to continue the review's work. Read coverage here.

Support community members living in limbo
The Back Your Neighbour campaign, coordinated by City of Greater Dandenong (CGD) and over 40 other Local Governments, has been advocating for refugees and people seeking refugee protection since 2018. The campaign is endorsed by more than 50 community organisations and other groups and peak bodies nationally.
City of Greater Dandenong has been a Refugee Welcome Zone since 2002. Council actively promotes and advocates for the rights of forcibly displaced people.
The Federal Government has left 10,000 people escaping war and conflict who live in the community, in limbo for more than a decade, many without access to work rights to support themselves, affordable health care and essential support services. As a result, highly vulnerable families with children are facing destitution and have had to rely on help from unfunded local charities and Councils. SMRC and other supporters have launched a petition to let the Federal Government know that our residents need certainty and support to rebuild their lives and be well placed to contribute to our communities. Over 600 individuals have signed the petition. Please lend your voice and sign the petition today.
We are also inviting community groups and organizations to endorse the campaign as a supporter, which will help strengthen our voice and raise awareness of this issue on behalf of our local community. No monetary contribution is required for organisational endorsement. Please see our list of 40+ Supporters and email ann@backyourneighbour.com.au should you be interested to partner with us towards ending uncertainty today.

Melbourne's Ruva Ngwenya stars in 'Tina- The Musical'
Melbourne-born Zimbabwean Australian Ruva Ngwenya is a sensation in the new hit musical Tina - The Tina Turner Musical - now playing at Melbourne's Princess Theatre.
Ruva was born in Essendon, and grew up in public housing, living mostly with her single mum in Ivanhoe. She describes her childhood as community-oriented and joyful. "I grew up around a lot of aunties and uncles and cousins, [going to] a lot of weekend parties with other Africans in the community and other Zimbabweans," she says.
Her full name is Ruvarashe, which means "God's flower" in Shona, a Bantu language spoken in Zimbabwe. "But Ruva is fine," she says. "There was a lot of speaking in Shona [in my childhood], which is why I picked up the language — I had a lot of aunties who refused to speak English and English wasn't allowed in their houses", she told the ABC back in May 2023.

Vale Zulya Kamalova (8 August 1969 – 18 September 2024)
It was with profound sadness that the staff and Committee of The Boite announced the passing of beloved Director Zulya Kamalova last month. Zulya had performed many times for The Boîte with her acclaimed outfit Zulya and the Children of the Underground before becoming Director early in 2022. She was an obvious choice for the role, with her exhaustive first hand experience within the Australian multicultural music sector, and her bold innovative vision for The Boîte's future.
In a statement, The Boîte staff and Committee said: "We will feel Zulya’s impact in everything we do at The Boîte for years to come as we continue on the course she has set for us, nurturing communities, elevating the marginal, and challenging the boundaries of genre, culture and tradition. She was an incandescent and magnificent force who engaged and inspired everyone in her orbit, and we were privileged to work alongside her."
Zulya's family, friends and colleagues gathered to reflect on and celebrate her life last Wednesday at the Northcote Theatre. Listen to Zulya's music here; and please support The Boîte's upcoming events.
