Maningrida is the second largest Aboriginal community in the Northern Territory after Wadeye, and it is located on the coast of Arnhem Land on the traditional lands of the Kunibidji people. The Maningrida child safety service consists of a group of Maningrida women who seek to protect local children and educate the community to generate change. The program operates two nightly patrols, seven days a week - one run by strong men and the other by strong women. During the day, they also educate young people about sexual health and positive life skills, substance abuse, and protective behaviors.
