OUR VISION: A diverse society that celebrates sexuality throughout life. MESSAGE FROM KEVIN FREEDMAN, CHAIRPERSON OF THE BOARD & NICOLE CHAMMARTIN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR This past year has been an exciting one with many highlights. We saw a lot of growth at SERC, including new board members, staff and our new Board Chairperson, Kevin Freedman, who has been a part of the board for the past 8 years. SERC is delighted to welcome Kevin to his new role, and to continue benefitting from his expertise in governance and wealth of community experience. In 2017, we began implementing the first year of our new strategic plan, focusing on the following outcomes: 1. SERC is visible, recognizable and accessible across Manitoba. 2. SERC’s mandate and position on sexuality related issues are broadly understood. 3. SERC programs and resources are well defined and congruent with its core mandate. In this year’s annual report, you will be able to learn more about the core programs and special projects that are making a difference in our communities. We are already well on our way into implementing our new strategies. Our Board of Directors is currently working with our staff and other stakeholders to develop position papers on key area of importance to SERC and those we serve. Our statement on reconciliation that was launched on April 26 (available at serc.mb.ca) acknowledges that knowing when to step up and when to step back is key to working in solidarity and supporting Indigenous leadership.

  • And Homosexual Sex Crimes
    Conference Proceedings – Thinking Gender – the NEXT Generation UK Postgraduate Conference in Gender Studies 21-22 June 2006, University of Leeds, UK e-paper no.4 Professional Intervention in Sex Crime Policing and Expert Witnessing Hetero- and Homosexual Sex Crimes Anna C.M. Tijsseling MA, International Institute of Social History (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) [email protected] Abstract: This paper is part of a PhD project concerned with the history of homosexuality in the Netherlands in the twentieth century. Main question in the project is to which extent the occupation by Germany, from 1940 until 1945, influenced the societal position of homosexuals. An answer is sought by analysing the repression, legal prosecution and agency of homosexuals based upon court records and police archives. In this paper heterosexual and homosexual court files are closely read in order to determine the differences with which hetero- and homosexual transgressions were approached by the professionals involved in the court proceedings. As will become clear, expert witnesses focussed upon the circumstances in the case of heterosexual transgressions and upon the perpetrator in homosexual crimes. The conference and the proceedings are supported by the Conference Proceedings – Thinking Gender – the NEXT Generation UK Postgraduate Conference in Gender Studies 21-22 June 2006, University of Leeds, UK Introduction Before turning to the main topic of this paper, as a historian and Dutch participant of the conference Thinking gender - The next generation I feel it is important to notice that a ‘global appreciation’ of gender analyses’ merits is still non-existent.1 The historical departments and projects in the Dutch academic context are a case in point.
