2. Indonesian Enrichment and Research Program<\/span><\/h3>\n


\nAbout the program<\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe Indonesian Enrichment and Research Program (\u2018the Program\u2019) gives students the opportunity to -participate alongside a Monash University Faculty of Law team in Indonesia to build capacity of university and civil society organisations (CSOs) family law legal aid clinics across Indonesia.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe Faculty of Law is working in partnership with the Australia Indonesia Partnership for Justice (AIPJ), CSOs and 12 Indonesian state universities to provide free legal assistance focussing on realising the rights of Indonesians to obtaining legal identity, particularly for women who are poor, vulnerable children and people with disabilities. The university and CSOs legal aid clinics teach law students and paralegals practical legal skills so that they are able to assist justice seekers to access the district and religious courts and navigate through the system of birth\/marriage registration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Students will have the opportunity to participate in clinical legal education meetings, workshops and site visits to different organisations in Indonesia.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe Program runs for 14 days in November\/December 2015 (exact dates are to be confirmed) and airfare, travel and accommodation will be paid for by the Faculty of Law.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Research Participants Needed for LGBTIQ Study<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/h3>\n


\nWould you like to participate in a research project concerning LGBTIQ, questioning and non-gender binary experiences of bullying and harassment in tertiary spaces. A new study is looking to interview undergraduate students at Monash as part of a pilot study.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe purpose of this study is to investigate who within the LGBTIQ student community experiences harassment and bullying in a tertiary setting; and determine what impacts this may have on LGBTIQ students\u2019 access to supportive educational outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nIt is hoped that a greater understanding of LGBTIQ experiences of violence in university settings will allow further exploration into how such intolerance can be combatted to facilitate an increased understanding of the needs of LGBTIQ youth.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. The Monash LSS Presents: Gender Identity and the Law<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n


\nDate<\/span>: Tuesday 1 September, 2015 <\/span><\/p>\n

Time<\/span>: 1:00Ppm\u2013 2:00pm<\/span><\/p>\n

Venue<\/span>: Monash University Clayton campus, Rotunda R3 <\/span><\/p>\n


\nGender identity describes a person\u2019s own experience, understanding of, and identification with being male, female, both, neither or otherwise. Many people identify with the gender they were assigned at birth, and many others face discrimination in the law and throughout society for having a gender identity that may be different to the one given at birth. This seminar will provide the opportunity to learn more about the discrimination that occurs within our legal system pertaining to gender identity.<\/span><\/p>\n

These issues will be explored by our panel of guest speakers from: \u00a0Transgender Victoria, an organisation that seeks to achieve justice, equality and quality health and community service provisions for transgender people, their partners and families; \u00a0The Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission, which seeks to promote the rights and responsibilities in the Victorian Human Rights and Responsibilities Charter; and \u00a0Ygender, a peer led social support and advocacy group for trans\/gender diverse young people.<\/p>\n
