A violence-first approach in health settings is not supported by clinical evidence and coercive practices do not facilitate wellbeing efficacy.
I recognise the impacts of cultural and ideological violence and I support initiatives which promote health and wellbeing beyond a clinical model.
There are objective principles and subjective values in all forms of health for which human rights must be an active consideration to avoid hate crimes or civil litigation.
I support communal and personal non-violence programs including affirmative and education measures for all forms of gender violence.
