At Women Deliver 2026,150 First Nations women, girls, Sistergirls and gender-diverse people came together to articulate our vision for systems change:

We make this Call to Action united in our vibrant intersectionality, as daughters, mothers, aunties and grandmothers, inclusive of transgender women and Sistergirls, queer mob and those with unique and additional abilities. We stand alongside Indigenous women across the world, grounded in the specificity of our Countries, cultures and responsibilities. We speak from matriarchal power. From cultural systems of language that call Country into being, connecting all human and more-than-human kin. No one is ever excluded. Our existences are in balance and in peace. This has been true since the beginning of time.

We hold the solutions. We are the carers, leaders and backbone of communities. The colonial structures of government decision-making, policies made without us, exclusion from prosperity, these are the perpetrators of harm. Entrenched sexualised racism perpetuates gendered violence, it is the reason women are murdered and missing, it steals our children, diminishes self-worth and drives suicide, it locks us out of wealth and into poverty, and criminalisesus for it. Our burden is the trauma inflicted by these structures. We live this reality. It is not abstract.
