Complex Adaptive Systems can operate with simple rules, sometimes only 3 rules. Reimagining how our current systems could operate in DFV using simple rules. Let victim/survivors make the rules.

Complex Adaptive Systems & Transformative Justice have much in common in push back against neoliberal not for profits, social work

Neoliberalism/Biopolitics- Statutory and Non Governmental Orgini$ation$ (govt) restrict/prevent Social Workers with frameworks, policy, procedures. They contradict core professional commitments to social justice, human dignity, and structural change. Invest in communities not restrictive practice.

If we End DFV we would not need; Child Protection services, women’s services, children’s services, women’s prisons, youth justice etc. why keep repeating our current approach? neoliberalism (DFV industry $), the birth of the clinic, patriarchy. Let’s invest in community not huge NGO$

Foucault: The Birth of the Clinic, Biopolitics, Discipline and Punishment, Penopticgon
People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

It’s never a woman pulling the trigger when it comes to gun violence. Maybe we should start voting for them instead.

Transformative justice is a framework and approach for responding to violence, harm/abuse. Basically, it seeks to respond to violence without creating more violence by trusting in communities . Moving away from punitive, surveillance, toward community-centred healing approaches. Reimagine not reform

Foucault’s “The Birth of the Clinic” a lens for understanding how services for disadvantaged operate through mechanisms of power/knowledge/institutional control. The clinical gaze didn’t just observe illness rather added categories, creating new forms of social control. Transformative Justice !!!!

Foucault “The Birth of the Clinic” “bioploitics” Health became an industry, to put control/profit (oppression). Today, buzz words in community services, “Trauma Informed/Evidence Based”. The mirage is ingrained. Imagine returning to safety/connection, emergence, adaption, the same pace as trust.

Interesting that Mehreen Faruqi was immediately sanctioned for holding up a sign in parliament supporting Gaza but Bob Katter threatens violence against a journalist who is simply doing his job and asking an MP a question - and has so far received no parliamentary censure.

The frustrations of social workers grows as most NGOs adopt more and more neoliberal frameworks. Neoliberalism and Social work will never mesh, round holes, square pegs. Less management, less government control. We need leaders who allow staff to be creative to meet community needs, not to meet KPIs

Stress is Life’s Signal I’ve often thought about what people mean when they say they’re stressed. From what I see, they’re not always talking about external burdens or catastrophic events.

If neoliberalism increases the disparity between the haves and have nots, why do most of our social services mirror neoliberalism, managerial, efficiency cultures. Invest in communities, emergent strategies, transformative justice.

Flying home. Mum passed. Sad. She suffered from church and state oppression, having he first born removed. Trauma made her life difficult, the state and church patriarchal rule did not destroy her, she was resilient, resistant, she is the reason I do what i do for work. Loved her so much ❤️
