Big changes in Queensland yesterday with the introduction of new consent laws introducing an affirmative consent model into Queensland, and other important changes. QSAN still requires the opportunity to consider the drafting in detail, but there is little doubt these changes are a positive step forward towards achieving accountability and justice. Affirmative consent has been long fought for by victim survivors and advocates, and we thank the Government for supporting their call for laws that better reflect the reality of victim survivor's experience of rape and sexual violence. #sexualviolence # change # accountability

The United States stands alone in its practice of sentencing youth to life without parole—a stark violation of international norms and an act many consider tantamount to torture. It's a harsh reality that defies international law and human rights standards, positioning the U.S. as the sole nation that imposes life without parole on minors. This practice reveals a systemic failure to recognize the potential for growth and rehabilitation among young offenders. With Kevin McCracken and Eric Abercrombie #JuvenileJustice #LifeWithoutParole #HumanRightsViolation #CriminalJusticeReform
