Some factors in policymaking are obvious, others not. Often, policy is made by groups of people working together — advocates, regular citizens, lobbyists, lawmakers. Less often, there’s a single person who emerges as the key figure in making new policy.

NEW on our blog ✍️ - Now more than ever, we can see the impact advocacy can have on those in need. Advocating not only allows people to be heard, it influences laws, policies, and systems to drive real change. As Muslims, we have an obligation to be the voice for the voiceless and speak up on injustices we see at every level, whether it be related to domestic violence and abuse, or human rights violations.

Today, on World Day of Social Justice, I reaffirm my commitment as a legal practitioner to stand against all forms of dehumanization, injustice, and bad governance. In the course of my career, I have dedicated myself to advocating for the rights of individuals and social justice, striving to promote equality, fairness, and accountability across all spheres. As lawyers, our foremost duty is to serve the public interest, and I believe that by working together, we can create a more just and equitable society for all. Let's continue to champion social justice and uphold the principles of equality and human rights. #WorldDayofSocialJustice #LegalAdvocacy #PublicInterest #SocialJustice 📜⚖️

14 March is the UN Human Rights Council’s 2024 Annual Day on the Rights of the Child States are obliged and committed under international human rights law to take all necessary action to protect children from violence, both by enacting explicitly clear legal frameworks that prohibit all forms and levels of violence against children - including all corporal punishment - and then putting into effect all necessary measures including the provision of necessary resources and budget, to implement the law, and ensure children are protected from violence. Such measures include the universal provision of information, support and parenting programmes to enable parents and carers to successfully adopt non-violent, positive methods of raising children. We know so many of the answers to end the ongoing cycle of violence against children, but we have to push hard for the issue to achieve political priority, and sadly prevalence across the world remains incredibly high. On this Annual Day on the Rights of the Child, let’s call for faster action and greater political will to end violence against children!

I have grown weary in my attempts to be heard for 10 plus yrs now.... I've reached out to countless organisation’s, politicians, lawyers, people that have the power to make changes if they wanted to. And it seems that the voices of lived experience that they want to amplify aren't the voices calling them out on their abuse. Police, family court Judges and services that were meant to help me and my family have harmed me just as much as my ex husband. I have tried every free legal service in this country - that is not an exaggeration. I have contacted every politician. The governor general and prime minister. Most don’t even bother to respond. Tell me how this is not human rights violations of both the child and the mother. When one party has spent 1 million dollars over ten years to harm you through legal system abuse, coercive control, financial abuse and domestic violence all fully supported by the system! And the other party was made homeless with no access to legal help? How is that a just or level playing field? I single handily applied to the High Court of Australia. My application was accepted. Behind closed doors and with no right to speak, a Judge just dismisses the application with no grounds as to why it should be heard. This is not a democracy. This is not treating all people equally and fairly. Legal system abuse is the perfect modus operandi for abusive men. Compounded further, when the women have children and limited finances. This legal engagement is an opportunity to exercise coercive control over their former partner (Douglas, 2018). It is a win/win situation for the abuser. He slowly drains what limited resources she may have, drowns her in paperwork at an already highly emotional period and she is faced with the very real threat of losing her children. These group of women have a high prevalence rate of domestic violence and are highly marginalised in society. Without being able to afford private legal representation they are not on a ‘level playing field’. They are denied natural justice, because they are woman going through dv and they cannot afford for anyone to help them. They are the woman and children that are falling through the cracks. Their voices deserve to be heard and support services are needed, tailored to this specific group of women. We need to do better!!!!!!! And we are not.

But if you are able to access the requisite date (big IF in the states where I work) how do you do enough positive good with your interventions to outweigh the negative outcomes that will result from the additional labeling and stigmatization? Also, are the interventions voluntary or required and, if required, under which legal mechanism?
School interventions offer best shot at reducing youth violence
