“Advanced” Consent

November 9, 2010 | Leave a Comment

There’s an interesting case in Canada right now that I am watching, as many of you probably are. It addresses the issue of  advanced consent (their term, not mine). The crux of the matter hinges on a critical question: Can you consent to sex when you “allow” yourself to be strangled until you’re unconscious?

Virtual Knowledge Center to End Violence Against Women & Girls

September 23, 2010 | Leave a Comment

UNIFEM has created the Virtual Knowledge Center to End Violence Against Women and Girls that is certainly worth perusing. From the looks of the site, there are still multiple modules yet to come (including one on health and another on justice), but to date there are several live modules, and it’s beautifully searchable.

Articles of Note: March Edition

March 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment

I cannot believe it’s already mid-March and I am *just* getting to this post. Between CCAW in Dallas (fantastic and more than 700 attendees) and a court martial that had me sequestered without internet, last week was a wash in terms of getting much done.
