Closing Statement from Debra Smith
There are 10 steps.
Most crucial is the tenth so it is where I begin:
10. That still small voice that starts to niggle and ask us if it is WE who have the rigid schemas or stereotypes of flaw in the logic. What signals us to an invalid schema? Where the conversation (and our personal growth) goes from there is determined by how we answer this- the BIG question.
1. Our understanding of misalignment usually dawns to us in stages.
2.If we are not in instant alignment we usually assume that we have not expressed ourselves clearly or that we are talking about different things. We remind ourselves that words are inaccurate things and try harder for better metaphors or better logic.
3. We assume we would agree if we were on the same page.
4. We have individual styles of communicating with some believing that you speak less when you know more and others believing that you should keep trying to change the words, the metaphors and the logical approach.
5. We may reach a stage where we remind ourselves that no one knows the definative truth. We ask if their information is accurate, is it salient to the discussion is it an important piece of the puzzle.
6.But -confirmational biases creep in and we begin to feel as
" I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant" Now I can easily confront myself- language still can be a precise, perfect tool. We try some more.
7. We begin to suspect that something else is at work in this process. We may start to feel emotions like anger, frustration, or sadness. We wonder what's wrong with us or our communication abilities or what's wrong with them?
8. We start to wonder about their world view. What is there schema like? How do they construct their world view?
9. We wonder how diligently they have constructed their world view. We may wonder about their built in traits - are they an introvert or an extravert, are they by nature open to information. are they conscientious in gathering the information and is it valid, are they basically an agreeable person or a curmudgeon Or maybe they're just plain neurotic?Warwick University student, George Lawlor, divides opinion after opposing Union’s sex consent lessons | News | Student | The Independent

Warwick University student, George Lawlor, divides opinion after opposing Union’s sex consent lessons
Lawlor described receiving an invite to the consent workshop as 'incredibly hurtful'
Student Editor
Thursday 15 October
The student posted this picture of himself online
A student at the University of Warwick has divided opinion online after speaking out against being invited to sex consent training lessons – a move, he says, was ‘the biggest insult I’ve received in a good few years’.
Writing in online student publication , politics and sociology student George Lawlor described how he was excited to receive an invite to what he thought was a social event, but says his crushing disappointment quickly melted away to be overcome by anger when he realised what he was being invited to.
Having acknowledged how people should only interact with mutual agreement, he said he still found the invitation to be loathsome, adding: “It implies I have an insufficient understanding of what does and does not constitute consent and that’s incredibly hurtful. I can’t stress that enough.”
The communications secretary for Warwick’s Conservative Association continued how he felt he was taking the ‘wrong’ side by speaking out and continued: “But someone has to say it – I don’t have to be taught to not be a rapist. That much comes naturally to me, as I am sure it does to the overwhelming majority of people you and I know. Brand me a bigot, a misogynist, a rape apologist, I don’t care. I stand by that.”
However, the student’s piece didn’t go down well with a lot of people who took to Twitter to blast him for his outlook, with one male user : “George Lawlor, you are a f*****g idiot, and your article is offensive to women and an embarrassment to men.” And the tweets didn’t stop there:
George Lawlor will look back at his
article one day and feel embarrassed - your article is horrendous and ignorant
— Charlotte Wilk (@charlottewilk)
Nice to see that article on consent from The Tab Warwick is getting the abuse it deserves
— MJR? (@MJRgrs)
wow so the Warwick Tab kid who thinks he doesn't need consent lessons bemoans the plight of being skinny, loves Katie Hopkins & WAIT FOR IT
— JudePrinceofDarkness (@LibrarianBoi)
When the little git grows up and gains some life experience, THEN maybe he could say that utter drivel.
— Stewart Holmes (@Stuho1mez)
Speechless at how someone can undermine such important education that fills a crucial hole in our curriculum, awful:
— Ione Wells (@ionewells)
However, one user did see where Lawlor was coming from:
Can understand how George Lawlor may find it personally insulting to be taught about consent, but many need to learn
— Brogan Driscoll (@Brogan_Driscoll)
Another user, on , wrote: “This kid is so right on. The people holding these sessions are just trying to make themselves feel good, while making no real difference in their echo chamber. It’s about time university students like him started speaking up. Hope more are inspired to follow his example.”
Shortly after Lawlor’s article surfaced, Warwick’s women’s officer and one of the organisers of the ‘’ workshops, Josie Throup, also took to
to write how she was angry at reading Lawlor’s piece, adding how she was not sorry her workshop made him feel uncomfortable.
Women's officer, Josie Throup, responded to Lawlor's picture with one of her own (Josie Throup)
She explained: “The first time I was confronted with the statistic that 80 per cent of rape survivors know their attacker, I felt the same.”
Making reference to the sign Lawlor held up in his picture which accompanied the article – and counteracting with a similar one of her own – Throup added: “He took a picture with a sign, proclaiming ‘This is not what a rapist looks like’, when the truth is, it is.
“I’m not saying this writer himself has sexually assaulted someone but he seems to believe there is a particular profile of person that would, who’s too busy lurking in the shadows somewhere to attend a consent workshop.”

Lawlor was not immediately available for comment, however, addressing the criticism he drew with Metro.co.uk, Lawlor said he felt he didn’t need to go to the event, and people he knows didn’t need to either.
Countries where sexual violence has become a way of life
Countries where sexual violence has become a way of life
Afghanistan
Recommendation: I urge the Government of Afghanistan to adopt legislative reforms to ensure that sexual violence offences are not conflated with adultery or “morality crimes”
and to establish infrastructure for the delivery of protection, health and le gal services to survivors. I call on the Ministry of the Interior to accelerate efforts to integrate women into the Afghan National Police, thereby enhancing its outreach
and its capacity to address sexual and gender-based violence
Central African Republic
Recommendation: I urge the authorities of the Central African Republic to ensure that efforts to restore security and the rule of law take into account the prevention of sexual violence and that monitoring of the ceasefire and peace agreement explicitly reflects this consideration, in line with the joint communiqué of the Government and the
United Nations on the prevention of and response to conflict-related sexual violence
signed in December 2012. I further encourage the authorities to make the rapid
response unit to combat sexual violence operational and to establish a special
criminal court
Recommendation: I commend the Government of Colombia for the progress made to date and its collaboration with the United Nations, including through the visit of my Special
Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict in March 2015. I encourage the authorities to implement Law 1719 and continue to prosecute cases of sexual
violence committed during the conflict to ensure that survivors receive justice and receive reparations. Conflict-related sexual violence should continue to be addressed in the Havana peace talks, as well as in the resulting accords and transitional justice mechanisms. Particular attention should be paid to groups that face additional barriers to justice such as ethnic minorities, women in rural areas, children, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex individuals and women abused within the ranks of armed groups. I encourage the Government to scale up its protection measures and share its good practices with other conflict-affected countries
Recommendation: I urge the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to ensure full implementation of the armed forces action plan against sexual violence, to
systematically bring perpetrators to justice and to deliver reparations to victims,
including payment of outstanding compensation awards. I call on donors and the United Nations system to support the Government in its efforts and to pay increased
attention to neglected areas, including unregulated mining regions
Recommendation: I commend the Government of Iraq for its national action plan for the
implementation of Security Council resolution ) and urge its swift implementation, including by training its security forces to ensur e respect for women’s rights. Programmes to support the social reintegration of women and girls released from captivity by ISIL are urgently needed, as is community-based medical and psychological care. The capacity of the United Nations system should be
enhanced through the deployment of Women’s Protection Advisers or equivalent specialists
Recommendation: I urge the national authorities in Libya to implement Decree No. 119 and
Resolution 904 of 2014 to ensure redress for all victims, including those affected by
the current conflict, through the establishment of multisectoral services and the
adoption of legislation to categorically prohibit sexual violence
Recommendation: I urge the Government of Mali, with support from United Nations Action against Sexual Violence in Conflict, to develop a comprehensive national strategy to combat sexual and gender-based violence and to ensure the safety of humanitarian workers so that services can reach remote areas. I further call on all parties to ensure that conflict-related sexual violence is addressed in the inter-Malian dialogue and
that perpetrators of sexual violence do not benefit from amnesty or early release
Recommendation: I urge the Government of Myanmar to continue with its reform agenda and, in the process, take practical and timely actions to protect and support survivors of conflict-related sexual violence and to ensure that security personnel accused of
such crimes are prosecuted. Sexual violence should be an element in all ceasefire
and peace negotiations, excluded from the scope of amnesty provisions and
addressed in transitional justice processes. It is critical that women be able to participate consistently in and influence these processes
Recommendation: I reiterate my call to the Federal Government of Somalia to implement the commitments made under the joint communiqué of 7 May 2013 and its national action plan to combat sexual violence in conflict, including specific plans for the army and the police. I encourage the adoption of a sexual offences bill as a matter of priority
South Sudan
Recommendation: I urge the parties to the conflict in South Sudan to adopt action plans to
implement the commitments made under their respective communiqués. I call upon
the Government of South Sudan to address the negative impact of customary law on
women’s rights and to reflect international human rights standards in national law.
I also encourage the African Union to make public and act upon the report of its
Commission of Inquiry on South Sudan
Sudan (Darfur)
Recommendation: I call upon the Government of the Sudan to grant the United Nations and its humanitarian partners unfettered access for monitoring and the provision of
assistance to people in need in Darfur. Given that there has been grave concern over
sexual violence in Darfur for more than a decade, I encourage the Government to
engage with my Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict to develop a
framework of cooperation to address the issue comprehensively
Recommendation: I acknowledge the Government’s invitation to my Special Representative to visit the Syrian Arab Republic and call upon the authorities, in the context of such a visit, to agree on specific measures to prevent sexual violence, including by
members of the security forces. I condemn the use of sexual violence by ISIL and all other parties listed in the annex to the present report and call on them to cease such violations immediately and allow unfettered access for the delivery of humanitarian
assistance
Recommendation: I urge the authorities in Yemen to undertake legislative reform as a basis for addressing impunity for sexual violence, ensuring the provision of services for
survivors and aligning the minimum legal age of marriage with international standards. I further call on the authorities to engage with local community and faithbased leaders to address sexual and gender-based violence and discriminatory social norms
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Recommendation: I urge the relevant authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina to harmonize
legislation and policies so that the rights of survivors of conflict-related sexual
violence to reparations are consistently recognized and to allocate a specific budget
for this purpose. I further call upon the authorities to protect and support survivors
participating in judicial proceedings through, inter alia, referrals to free legal aid,
psychosocial and health services, as well as economic empowerment programmes
Ivory Coast
Recommendation: I urge the Government of C?te d’Ivoire to ensure the effective implementation of its national strategy to combat gender-based violence and the action plan for FRCI, and call on the international community to support these efforts. It is critical to accelerate disarmament, demobilization and reintegration and strengthen law enforcement to ensure that ex-combatants who have been reintegrated into the transport sector do not pose a risk to women and girls who are reliant on those
services. The Government and the international community must provide monitoring
and awareness-raising to mitigate the possibility of a recurrence of sexual violence
in the context of the presidential elections to be held in October 2015
Recommendation: I call on the Government of Liberia to continue its critical efforts to combat sexual and gender-based violence including through the United Nations-Government of Liberia Joint Programme, and in the context of recovery from the Ebola virus epidemic
Recommendation: I encourage the Government to ensure that survivors of conflict-related sexual violence are recognized under the law as “conflict victims”, which will enable them
to access services, judicial remedies and reparations. I further call on all parties
involved in the transitional justice process to ensure that the rights and needs o f
survivors of sexual violence are addressed in institutional reforms and that these
crimes are excluded from amnesties and statutes of limitations
Recommendation: I call upon the newly elected Government of Sri Lanka to investigate
allegations of sexual violence, including against national armed and security forces, and to provide multisectoral services for survivors, including reparations and economic empowerment programmes for women at risk, including war widows and female heads of household
Recommendation: I encourage the Government to implement its national action plan on the
implementation of Security Council resolution ) to ensure that women’s protection concerns are mainstreamed throughout its security operations. I also call
upon the authorities to guarantee security in and around internally displaced persons camps and to extend medical and psychosocial services to high-risk areas
He added: “People will say that’s because I live a privileged white middle class lifestyle. They may be right, they may be wrong. But I feel as though their efforts are wasted.”
