Yay! 🙌🏻 Gay conversion therapy, also known as "conversion" or "reparative" therapy, has long been discredited by major medical and psychological associations worldwide. It aims to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity through various methods such as counseling, religious intervention, or even aversion techniques. However, numerous studies have shown that not only is this practice ineffective. By overturning the legality of gay conversion therapy, the government has taken a crucial step towards protecting the well-being and dignity of LGBTQ+ individuals. It sends a powerful message that discrimination and attempts to alter someone's innate identity are not acceptable in a modern, inclusive society. This decision not only upholds human rights but also aligns with scientific consensus and ethical standards in mental healthcare. It reinforces the understanding that sexual orientation and gender identity are natural aspects of a person's identity and should be respected and affirmed, rather than stigmatized or suppressed. Congrats NSW!

🏳️🌈 Historic Victory for Human Rights in NSW 🎉 Today marks a monumental day for the LGBTQA+ community as we celebrate the official ban on LGBTQA+ conversion practices in New South Wales. This comes after many sacrificed years of relentless advocacy, driven by the stories and strength of survivors who have bravely led the charge for change. This new legislation is not just a ban; it's a beacon of hope—it's about saving lives. It's about affirming the acceptance of love, identity, and expression in all its forms. We owe a debt of gratitude to the indefatigable activists, organisations, and allies whose voices have echoed through the halls of power, demanding this long overdue reform. Their unyielding passion and solidarity exemplify the spirit of communal effort in crafting a society rooted in equality and compassion. But our work doesn't stop here. The ripple of NSW's bold move can catalyze nationwide transformation. This victory serves as a catalyst for the remaining states in Australia to follow suit, to listen to the call for dignity, respect, and most importantly, love. #EqualityWins #LGBTQARights #HistoricChange #NoToConversionTherapy #HumanRights #SocialChange #Pride #UnitedForChange

In rural South Africa, there is more intolerance towards the LGBTQI+ community compared to the urban areas. This can be attributed to the success of advocacy and educational programs about human rights and acceptance in towns and cities. There is a lack of these in the rural hinterland.

Want to know my thoughts on how we can keep youth advocacy at an all time high? This ⬇ "We need to move from this idea of youth engagement to this idea of youth allyship." At this month's Project THRIVE webinar for the Human Rights Campaign and Active Minds, Inc., I spoke about why youth allyship is a better approach than youth engagement for professionals and organizations seeking to involve youth and young adults. Here's why: 1️⃣ Youth allyship expresses a more direct and serious commitment to advancing youth voices and experiences and elevating them through various platforms 2️⃣ Youth allyship addresses the historical exclusion of and discrimination against young people in social advocacy and activist contexts as a result of adultism 3️⃣ Youth allyship recognizes the significant role young people have had in leading our world's most successful social movements Be partners with us always, not just when it's convenient for you or your work. ❗ Watch the full webinar: https://lnkd.in/eshGE46m ❗ Learn more about how to ally with youth: https://lnkd.in/eW5tbDGx #YouthEngagement #YouthAdvocacy #MentalHealth #YouthMentalHealth
