Launched to coincide with NAIDOC Meetings venue: week, Universities Australia in partnership ANUEF Office, Molony Room, with the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Higher Education Postal Address:ANU Emeritus Faculty, Building 1c Consortium (NATSIHEC) has called the new campaign Indigenous OpportUNIty. 24 Balmain Crescent A campaign video features, among others, The Australian National University Tim Goodwin, a Yuin man from south- coast NSW, who completed a law degree Acton, ACT 2601 at The Australian National University, and went on to become a barrister practising in Web: press.anu.edu.au Melbourne. Universities Australia Chief Executive Catriona Jackson said sustained Indigenous recruitment strategies across Australian universities have meant there are more Indigenous students than ever before. “Nearly 20,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are now studying at university – a doubling over the past decade. But universities know more needs to be done,” Ms Jackson said. “Barriers remain and it’s not always easy to see a pathway to uni – particularly for those who are the first in their family to consider higher education. That’s why this campaign is designed to both inspire and inform potential Indigenous students.” Deadline for nominations for ANUEF Committee ANUEF Members have been advised by the Secretary, Jan O’Connor, that nominations from financial members to serve on the ANUEF Committee are due by 5.00pm on Wednesday, November 18.

Si tratta di un’opera direttamente riferibile ad un tristissimo fenomeno che si verifica in In- dia, ma non solo in quella realtà, quello dei bambini e delle bambine che scom- paiono: un fenomeno tremendo che si correla direttamente con le condizioni di povertà di ampie zone geografiche del Paese asiatico. Si stima che siano circa ottantamila ogni anno i bambini e le bambine di un’età compresa tra i sei e i tredici anni che in India vengono inghiottiti nel nulla, tra l’indifferenza sovente – e nel film in una scena istantanea si denuncia questo dato – delle forze dell’ordine. La polizia, inoltre, spesso non accoglie i parenti allorché si recano a denunciare la scomparsa dei loro bambini; si tratta di gente talmente povera da non potersi permettere nemmeno una foto dei loro piccoli.
