German Justice Minister Proposes 'Yes Means Yes' for Adults, Prioritizes Child Support
German Justice Minister Stefanie Hubig (SPD) is making waves in family law reform. She's open to debating the 'yes means yes' principle for adults, while prioritizing support for vulnerable children. Hubig rules out homelessness for families with children due to potential Bürgergeld cuts.
Hubig, a self-proclaimed feminist, entered politics to fight for gender equality and combat violence against women. She's currently working on regulatory proposals to modernize family legislation. One key change she's pushing for is dual legal motherhood for lesbian couples, aiming to streamline adoption processes and ensure both mothers are recognized as legal parents.
Hubig's focus on protecting the most vulnerable is evident in her educational initiatives. She's committed to providing strong support and upward mobility for children from low-income families through education. This commitment extends to sexual consent laws, where she supports the 'yes means yes' principle for minors.
Hubig's open-minded approach to policy is refreshing, as seen in her willingness to debate the 'yes means yes' principle for adults. Her dedication to protecting vulnerable children and promoting gender equality is clear. While details of her family law reform proposals are yet to be made public, her commitment to progress is undeniable.
