 I remember one time in Australia, and John Braycoy said to me, Joan, I want you to talk about family group conferencing, and I want you to say why it is feminist praxis. I loved it. For me, and I'm going to do a little bit biographical, for me, feminist justice really does change around culture. And I'm going to follow South's example of saying right up front what my main thesis is for this presentation is that integral to feminist justice is the inclusion of children in decision making over their lives. Restorative approaches are a means of achieving this, but not one necessarily that the adults will support. And so that's what we have to keep in mind. I told you I'd go a little biographical, but that's me. I was then called the Maritime School of Social Work getting my MSW. But also, in 1972, I was outside the deaf housing beauty pageant with my sign protesting the beauty pageant. And I wasn't on my bicycle doing that. So very lovely young woman going out, very intelligent, looking back at me. And we connected with our eyes. And she expressed uncertainty about taking part. And in those days, I did think, yeah, that was a good thing that she should express uncertainty. Today, I'd be much less likely to be protesting any young woman being in a beauty pageant. But I would be looking really closely on how that beauty pageant was set up. And so I would take that perspective. In terms of feminist justice, I love the evocative phrase, the personal is political, because you can take it in so many different directions. And for me, what I was doing back there with my sign and everything, identifying as women collectively disrupting dominant discourses about women's second place, really concerned. And I was quite a young woman at that time, controlling our bodies, especially reproduction, becoming, especially when I was in consciousness, raising groups, becoming much more aware about violence against women. And there, seeing older women looking at me and realizing how naive I was and helping bring me into the battered women's movement. And all of this is about liberating space for truly engaging in democracy, which is what I think restorative practices are about. And again, this is motherhood for me. Our three sons, they were always difficult to get in frame within a picture. And the middle son, you can only see his eyes. But what is more personal than children? Teaching me a whole lot about what it meant to be a feminist. And what it, it was really about understanding of praxis of the personal as political. So in terms of life, should children be included in decision-making over their lives? There's a wonderful book by Caligal and Benedetta, Fadi Durami, International Perspectives and Empirical Findings on Child Participation. And they bring up things such as human rights, building the decision competency of children. I always thought my kids are awfully good at that one. Reducing anxiety, making better decisions, affirming family connections both through the process, which is affirming, but also the outcomes, which are about keeping children connected to their family and their kin as very central. And Moana, I really appreciated your messages earlier today about that. It's just very central. I also want to say I am a strong proponent of restorative justice. I do not usually use the language, though, of victim and offender, because I'm thinking in terms of families and not trying to set it up in terms of victims and offenders. I would be looking at why are the adults hesitant to include children in decision-making. Last year, 2015, my senator at North Carolina State University did a survey that was instantly responded to by over 500 practitioners, looking at challenges and strategies on including children in the meetings. And up there is kind of a summary of the concerns that they were expressing. I know I don't have a lot of time, so I just let you take a look at it. Underlying the concerns was a variety of fear that the process would re-traumatize children who had already been traumatized. And you can see that in the work. These are quotations from participants in the survey. And in my state, there's a lot of language about trauma-informed care. And I think that is a practice framework where there's the effort to be very caring of children, but at the same time, it can be very confining as to what they can do, particularly in terms of participating in decision-making. So we also separately did a survey with foster youth who had been involved in meetings, family meetings, and when they were asking for one of them said, it made me feel important. Now, that was a lifer thing that they would check off, but that's what they all experienced. So you can see the contrast between what the adults' concerns were and what the young people were saying. And then if we now bring in the voices here of children and young people's, and I'm now thinking particularly about the child welfare system, but you could think youth justice schools and so on, what it does in terms of feminist justice is pushes us to continue to have a gender-based analysis that these folks so eloquently about right after lunch, but also about crossing generations, taking into account race and ethnicity, especially because so disproportionately, children and young people of color, indigenous children, children with disabilities are served by these different systems. Again, how we deliberate that space for democracy. And so the overarching concern, while I'm a very strong component of safety, especially when I'm thinking about my own children, I think it's the overarching and central component is the democracy, because that's the kind of world that we want. I'll give the last word to my children.
