“…This may be in part attributed to rurality, as privacy concerns in small communities, and access to consistent general practitioner care and other health services have been identified as issues specific to rural and remote locations in Australia [39,40]. It is unclear if these factors are exacerbated among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, particularly given the history of forced contraception upon these communities [3]. Further research exploring the contraceptive experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is warranted among those communities who identify this as a priority.…”

Background The Australian population has an unmet need for contraception. However, evidence suggests contraceptive patterns of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations are unique. To tailor contraceptive services and meet the contraceptive needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, it is important to understand the contributing factors to contraceptive use and non-use. Methods This study aimed to systematically review and narratively synthesise the evidence exploring the factors influencing contraceptive use among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. A systematic literature search was initially run in September 2016 and was updated again in April and August of 2018. A qualitative narrative synthesis was conducted from 2018 to 2019. Factors influencing contraceptive use or non-use were explored using a Social Ecological Model. Results The review identified 17 studies meeting the inclusion criteria published between 1972 and 2018. Most of the included studies were qualitative (n = 11), with the remaining studies being mixed methods (n = 3) or quantitative (n = 3). The majority focused on either a localised geographic area or specific Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander community (n = 11). One study specifically focused on factors influencing contraceptive use, albeit among postpartum women. The remaining studies discussed factors influencing contraceptive use within the context of risky behaviour, sexual transmitted infections, or contraceptive practices more generally. Factors unique to individual communities included community attitudes (e.g. importance of not being too young to have a baby), specific cultural norms (e.g. subincising the penis as part of transition to manhood), and access to culturally appropriate health services. Other factors, including contraceptive characteristics (e.g. discomfort of condoms) and reproductive coercion (e.g. partner wants a baby), were similar to those found in the broader population of Australia and internationally. Most studies were lacking in quality, warranting more methodologically sound studies in the future to further assess the factors contributing to contraceptive use or non-use among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Conclusions Identifying community specific facilitators, as well as understanding the more broadly applicable factors contributing to contraceptive use or non-use, is essential if wanting to offer appropriate contraceptive services within an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander community.

“…In the case of some parts of Aboriginal civilisation, these occurred against the background of attempts at eliminative genocide. 31 In 1843, the Dangerous Lunatics Act was passed in NSW, and similar laws followed in different Australian colonies. 2 In the colonies, asylums were redolent of gaols 32 , resembling their counterparts in the northern hemisphere, which predominately functioned as sites of incarceration, seclusion and physical restraint.…”

“…111 Australian Holocaust scholar Colin Tatz argues there are many parallels between the Holocaust and the plight of Aboriginal Australia after the arrival of Europeans, including aspirations of ethnic cleansing and a form of racism manifest in an attempt at eliminative genocide. 31 Kiernan has described several common themes in history's genocides. On the specific question of the Aboriginal experience, he argues that the state's efforts at exterminating or 'breeding out' the indigenous population arose from an obsession with agricultural land.…”

“…In this context, assimilation is commensurate with annihilation. Assimilationist policies were genocidal in that they promoted the physical and cultural invisibility of Indigenous people and practices (Tatz 2001) and endorsed standards for Indigenous people that were directly counter to those thought to be in the best interests of white people. Chief among these was the tactic of removing Indigenous children from their families, fracturing communities, and retarding (if not completely halting) the transmission of cultural knowledge from adults to children.…”
