3. <\/strong>Book Launch \u2013 Proof of Birth by Melissa Castan and Paula Gerber<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Australia has not yet achieved universal birth registration, which means that many people without a birth certificate struggle to enjoy the benefits of citizenship. In particular, people from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, rural and remote communities and culturally and linguistically diverse communities, are overrepresented in the number of unregistered births.<\/p>\n

This book draws together the work of a range of experts from diverse fields who present recent developments and strategies designed to overcome the barriers to accessing the birth registration systems. This event will be launched by Professor Megan Davis, Professor of Law, Director, Indigenous Law Centre, UNSW and Chair of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.<\/p>\n

Date: <\/strong>Thursday 28th<\/sup> May 2015<\/p>\n
