Daisy Bindi and the Struggle for Equality
Daisy Bindi, an Aboriginal woman, fought for fair treatment and rights for Aboriginal workers. She witnessed the cruel practices of the station bosses, who forced Aboriginal people to work for free and killed their dogs. Daisy organized a strike, encouraging Aboriginal workers to stand up for themselves and demand fair wages. Despite the risks of arrest and violence, Daisy rallied almost 800 workers to join the Pilbara strike. After three challenging years, their persistence paid off and station bosses began to pay wages. Daisy's leadership and determination brought about positive change for her people, leading to the establishment of an Aboriginal community and improved living conditions.
