Catch up on this segment produced by CBAA and explore the importance of language and the concept of ‘what does ‘justice’ even mean if no one speaks your language?’
“It’s a human right to have an interpreter… and so important because language is so much bigger than just a way of communication, it’s about culture and about land and about your ancestral stories or Yankunytjatjara mob use the term Wapar, but it just unlocks all of that through your knowledge of your language and it’s identity” -Karina Lester
This radio story was originally produced by the CBAA’s National Features and Documentary Series and financially supported by the Community Broadcasting Foundation.
