"Un ufficiale dell'esercito israeliano ha ammanettato due bambine palestinesi ad #Hebron mercoledì, perché sospettava che una di loro avesse un coltello. ⬇2

#Advocacy thread.
A key recommendation in the @reviewCSC is for there to be independent, opt-out advocacy.
Implementation of this would be globally ground-breaking and a vg safeguard for children's rights.
#CareReview 🧵 Image
It is confusing, difficult and sometimes traumatic entering care. An #independentadvocate is there to be on the child's side. It is someone to represent their needs and wishes so that they are central in making and reviewing care plans.
Running @whocaresscot I saw firsthand how advocacy was a life-line for people in the most vulnerable situations. It gave them hope and built trust when they saw they were heard.
Having a voice over decisions that affect you is a cornerstone of children's rights.

The Aus Senate this Weds will vote on so-called 'three-parent #babies'. These would be #donorconceived babies, genetically the child of 3 people not 2, made by an unregulated, for-profit industry, where there are serious questions about the future for the resulting child. A 🧵
Three-parent babies are made from #mitochondrialDNA donation. For eg: you fertilise a would-be mother's egg, and a donor egg. You suck the middle (the pronucleus) out of both. You put the would-be mother's pronucleus in the 'shell' of the donor egg. You gestate the embryo.
This is to avoid a child inheriting mitochondrial disease from the mother. What it means is: the child inherits DNA from 3 people - bio father, the would-be mother, and the donor. This *is inheritable*. If it's a girl baby, DNA from THREE people will be passed on to her children.

Here is a prime example of how the baby-above-all-else narrative triumphs over fact in the #media: a 🧵. Let's start with criminal offences. In fact, overseas commercial #surrogacy is ILLEGAL for residents of NSW. Sydney, obviously, is NSW's capital. @smh fails to mention this.
International #commercialsurrogacy is also illegal for residents of the ACT and QLD. This article does not state this either. It fails to mention where these people are from. It does not question the legality of their actions.
Why is commercial #surrogacy a criminal offence in NSW? Well, because of 'considerable medical, ethical, legal and human rights concerns', which include the exploitation of surrogates and the resulting children. #fertility #infertility #law #ivf #donorconception #humanrights

Almost daily, through my work providing advice and advocacy to vulnerable families in education settings, I hear from another family whose child's #privacy has been breached by education officers and headteachers at Scottish local authorities. #childrensrights 1/
Systematic breaches of data processing laws are becoming endemic in Scotland. I've even had two LAs tell me that they can break data processing laws because their local policies say they can. 2/
And now we have a report from SHEF that backs that up with evidence from all over the country. @ICOnews and @cypcs can't ignore these breaches anymore. 3/

This pornographic ad is just 500m from a public Primary School.

Children must either walk or navigate their bikes along the pathway beside the trailer to get to and from school.

Photo taken while standing on that pathway. @OLGRQLD @YvetteDAth @justiceQLD Image
How can adults protect children from exposure to sexually explicit, sex trade advertising in these circumstances?

Cars and buses drive children to and from school past this pornographic ad. One mother reported to us that her child asked about “the dollhouse.” @OLGRQLD Image

#ThemBeforeUs is drafting a #SCOTUS brief addressing who can be listed as a parent on a child’s birth certificate.

If your birth certificate did not reflect your biological parents, I’d like to hear from you! #Adoption #DonorConception
Our SCOTUS brief will address three key points:
- Birth certificates serve children, not adults
- Children have a right to an accurate birth certificate, regardless of whether they are donor conceived or subsequently adopted
- Biology matters to children

"This has been an experiment carried out on a generation of young people and who knows the extent of the damage that has been done," - @MelLiszewski #pornharms #education #technology m.tweeddailynews.com.au/news/youll-soo…
Our obligation to protect children, and the protections afforded to children by an online age verification system far outweigh the concerns of those with vested interests in the global porn industry. - collectiveshout.org/submission_to_…
An online age verification system upholds Australia’s international obligations to protect children from abuse, exploitation and developmental harm, acknowledging that exposure to online pornography amounts to abuse, exploitation and harm. #Pornharns #childrensrights

“From the age of five, children are far less interested in children’s bands like The Wiggles and far more likely to listen to pop music which often contains sexually explicit lyrics and images." #PepsiHalftimeShow #JLo #Shakira #ShakiraXJLoSuperBowl

“Media is more prevalent in our lives than ever before – we are surrounded by it and the ease of access to it is unprecedented, regardless of age, and much of the media consumed through the internet is unable to be controlled,” Dr Ey says.
“Negative outcomes from consumption of sexualised media includes self-objectification and female sexualisation, permissive sexual attitudes and risky sexual behaviours, as well as acceptance of sexual and gendered violence."

[FIL] Seré dura: en primer lloc, la meva absoluta condemna a l’assassinat de la companya Dra Eva Abad i el meu condol a familiars, amics i companys/es. La Dra. Abad patia com a mínim violència psicològica, ambiental i conductes greus de control. #NiUnaMenys
Els veïns sentien els crits, insults i detectaven algunes conductes de control-> no tingueu por, truqueu al 112 perquè podeu salvar vides #niunamenys #violenciaMasclista
Segons la @who la violència contra les dones és una greu pandèmia i problema de salut pública. #NiUnaMenys #violenciaMasclista
1/3 dones pateixen o han patit algun tipus de violència.
