So first of all, I'd like to also acknowledge that we're on the lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora nations and I pay my respects present and emerging and all the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are joining us here today. [...] So Cooper, what led you into doing the work that you do? And what do you think are the biggest human rights challenges facing children in Australia? So for me, my passion for human rights was born out of seeing the impact a deprivation of rights has on families and communities, but also seeing the impact that human rights have and the justice that they bring when they're fully realised. [...] [ 00:12:30 ] And being a youth worker with Save the Children in some of the hardest hit communities by different natural disasters, I saw that in order for adults to defend their own rights and protect the rights of others, they need to have a full experience of their rights in childhood. [...] And as a guest on Country, I just want to pay my respects to the traditional owners and to the elders of the Gadigal people. [...] So I think, you know, that you can recognise the status or, you know, of a child in a domestic and family violence situation, but if you're not prepared to shift the service response so that we actually can see, and recognise, and responsibly respond to their trauma, then literally, we'll end up sitting back and waiting for that generation of children to become adult victims or perpetrators of vio.
