How will Europe deal with youth-led protests?

Reply in thread

Ideally by actually trying to fix the shit that's making the world burn and making things worse for young people... but probably by (this is my US cynicism) banning anyone who isn't considered an adult from leaving their bedroom. Governments and companies around the world are already trying to limit youth access to information.

Everyone (including kids and teens) should have full bodily autonomy. This includes how they express gender. Parents should not be allowed to circumcise/mutilate their kids' genitals for reasons that aren't medically necessary, nor should they be allowed to lay their hands on their kids in a violent way (and yes, that includes "only" spanking). Parents who hit/spank their kids should be charged with assault and child abuse.

Kids and teens having basic rights might not be controversial here, but in the rural area that I'm from, it certainly is.
