materialworld:

We request the refunding for critical support services and counselling for criminalised women pre and post release prison in North Queensland by the LNP who cut the funding last week.

Why is this important? Criminalised women have the highest rate of sexual and physical abuse perpetrated against them in our community. Due to this horrendous abuse women turn to self medication with illiiegal drugs and / or alcohol. Nearly 60% of the women have a mental illness.

In Townsville women’s prison over 80% of women are Aboriginal and over 90% of the women cannot read and write. These issues have to be addressed, so that women when released into the community can move on with their lives and not return to drug and alcohol abuse and offending to feed their addiction.

Housing is also a fundamental part of their success on release. The support of our services assists women in healing their traumas and practical needs so when released they can reconnect with their children and families and move towards their goals and being a part of their communities.

(via Save Sisters Inside | CommunityRun)

Sister’s Inside is founded and run by primarily ex-inmate women and some lawyers. It’s been an internationally recognized success model of a service that helps;

- inmate mothers and their children re-establishing or maintain functional relationships during/after imprisonment.

- improved prospects of literacy, safe accommodation and finding work on release.

Allowing how many female inmates in Qld are ATSI women being punished for defending themselves in domestic violence situations, or arrested for petty ‘offences’ related to homelessness, this being top of the list for service shut down tells you exactly where real state priorities are.

Probably not coincidentally: they host the Is Prison Obsolete? Conferences, being one of the few regional public forums about changing the overall high imprisonment of marginalized people, not just services.

Oz folk - pls. signal boost on your other networks, not many politics Oz folk on tumblr. Non-Oz folk - ATSI = Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. Native + Black.

Yes!
Support. My Aunty works at Sisters Inside.
Women don’t belong in cages yo!

The Dreamers Design

Creative products celebrating Aboriginal culture. The Dreamers Design is a collective of like minded Indigenous creatives, passionate about finding new ways to promote Aboriginal culture.

The First Line of Defence tee design is a collaboration between Penny Smallacombe and Jessica Johnson. It’s the beginning of a range that honours our Aboriginal warriors of the 1800 period. It is also hoped that the designs will encourage further interest in our past leaders. The designers are currently in consultation with the various communities to seek permission to use these warriors names.

Check out the Dreamers Design website and facebook.

This is too awesome for words. I’m ordering one soon.

Russell Brand In Court of the Day: Russell Brand’s, um, brand of comedy isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but, if anything, he’s pretty good at being on his toes when it comes to making light of a dull situation. As such, when Brand was testifying about the UK’s drug policy to Parliament, he made quite the show out of it, which also happened to be better than his stand-up.

[boingboing]

URRGGHH
Where to begin..

I AGREE

Harm reduction education eg “honest drug education”
Compassionate treatment of people who use drugs, health not criminlised
Government money wasted on busting users for possession
“Being arrested (for drug crimes) isn’t a lesson, it is an administrative blip”

I DISAGREE

Hating on methadone programs (Mentions nothing about other pharmacotherapies)
Only banging on about abstinence based treatment programs
Against legalising drugs
That ‘abstinence based recovery’ is good for Chip & Russell, but not awesome for everyone

My 2 cents.

Safe Sex For Seniors

In the past 5 years, the rate of STDs among active seniors
has risen over 70%. This public service announcement
promotes the importance of using condoms, illustrated by
mature adults in various poses of the Kama Sutra.

I’m so glad social marketers are targeting sexual health promotion in seniors! They’re such an often-overlooked group! And hey, I want to be sexually active when I’m older, too.

I want those skills when I’m that old!

Good looking ad, I wonder what other elements are in this campaign
