Answer preview
The extent to which aboriginal women and girls face violence translates to human rights issues. According to Amnesty International (2014), the state has acted below expectations in implementing an elaborate and well-coordinated national response on the issue despite the call from various quarters of stakeholders in the country like human rights activists. These severe and pervasive issues pose a threat to the existence and well-being of aboriginal girls and women. Human rights bodies look forward to a situation whereby the government will show a commitment in trying to solve this menace that poses a risk to national unity and cohesion.
