ANTaR is dedicated to the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. This year ANTaR are launching a campaign to strengthen Aboriginal communities and decrease rates of incarceration – currently, an Indigenous young person is 28 times more likely to be imprisoned than a non-indigenous young person.

ANTaR have also released a booklet (left) that can be downloaded of success stories showcases 13 successful Aboriginal community-controlled organizations in the NT that are working across a diverse range of sectors – makes for fantastic reading.
