💫New year, new board!💫
Say hello to the 💎 ETMU board of 2019 💎 that constituted itself today. We were so busy in today’s meeting that we didn’t even have time for a group shot, but we promise to deliver one asap. We are excited about this year’s combination of old and new members who are eager to plan events, publish research news, collaborate within and beyond academia, engage in public discussions ... and, importantly, get to know each other better. We have lots of ground to cover this year, so 🍀🍀 wish us luck 🍀🍀!
📢 It was time to say something. So we did. Please read this statement against racism in the current debates about sexual violence, signed by ETMU and 18 other NGOs/organizations. 📢
"Kaikki seksuaalinen hyväksikäyttö on väärin ja tuomittavaa – tekijästä riippumatta. Seksuaalisen hyväksikäytön ja väkivallan uhriksi joutuu ympäri maailmaa joka päivä tuhansia lapsia, tyttöjä ja poikia, naisia, miehiä ja muunsukupuolisia. Seksuaalinen hyväksikäyttö aiheuttaa valtavasti kärsimystä globaalisti. Siksi aiheesta Suomessa virinnyt julkinen keskustelu on erittäin tärkeä. Samaan aikaan on valitettavaa, että keskustelu on ollut hyvin yksiulotteista ja leimaavaa. Keskustelussa väkivaltaa kokeneiden äänet ovat jääneet huomiotta, eikä hyväksikäytön arkipäiväistä ja rakenteellista luonnetta ole käsitelty riittävästi. Haluamme kirjoituksellamme osoittaa tukemme kaikille seksuaalisen hyväksikäytön ja väkivallan uhreille ja kannustaa kaikkia vastuulliseen ja väkivallan kokemuksia kunnioittavaan keskusteluun."
