Our Logo
Mura Kosker Sorority was founded in 1988. It was formed by women for women and advocated for women’s rights in the Torres Strait. It quickly became an essential service provider for women and their families in the region. Therefore, in recognition of our history, we use the female gender symbol in our logo design. Today, the organisation has evolved over the years to now service men and their families as well.
