About this journal article:

Rather than treating social investment as separate from justice, this article explores how a human-rights based approach to social investment can better support Indigenous children and families. It highlights the importance of building stronger futures through frameworks that founded on self-determination and build Indigenous capacity, cultural identity and integrity.
