Marie Claire magazine launches campaign for the constitutional recognition of Indigenous Australians

Jess Mauboy, Miranda Tapsell and Samantha Harris have fronted the cover of February’s edition of Marie Claire, as the magazine launches a campaign to push for the constitutional recognition for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

At the centre of the campaign is the Uluru Statement from the Heart, the document created by 250 Aboriginal delegates at Uluru in 2017, outlining the amendments required for constitutional recognition. The document stands as an open invitation from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to the wider Australian public “to walk with us in a movement of the Australian people for a better future.”

Marie Claire editor in chief, Nicky Briger, noted that Australia stands out in the western world for not recognising its Indigenous people in its constitution.
