A collaborative family law practitioner and human rights lawyer. A member of Australian Lawyers for Human Rights and the Executive Officer of www.darboninstitute.org.
In addition to my active practice I spend in excess of 600 hours a year working pro-bono protecting ALL children from genital cutting procedures. Regardless of gender, cultural, ethnic or religious identity – all people have the right to Bodily Autonomy and Genital Integrity, especially children, in line with the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the 2012 Helsinki Declaration on Genital Autonomy.
Children are not the property of parents.
