Today on Accent of Women, we look at the supposed crime wave of African gangs that is sweeping Victoria.

To discuss this issue, two young women are featured on Accent of Women, who in very different ways, are both working towards combating the media's racist rhetoric, and ultimately to ending this kind of racism. These two young women are Eunice Gabboyi, chairperson of the Afro Australian Student Association, and Sajda Yacoub ffrom the Peer Advocacy Team of the Police Accountability Project at Flemington Kensington Community Legal Centre.
