Proposal for how to work when separation needs occur:

Australia has Fridays for future and School Strike 4 Climate. In the case of School Strike 4 Climate the people are clearly in ‘school’, normally under 18. School strike 4 climate are often supported by Fridays For Future local group and their ‘own’ parents.

If there is a need for a work group to be ‘separated’ by sex, sexual identity, race, age or another reason this is allowed and it is preferred that this shows in the name of the work group. This is intented to reduce confusion for outsiders.

Work groups are best sized at 6 people and work poorly beyond 12 people. Therefore if a sub group feels they need for ‘separation’ then this need not be seen as discrimination. As this is filling a potential ‘need’. For example, some people may need to have smaller groups to work with to gain their own strength of voice. This is only discrimination if they are ‘stopping’ another work or local groups from forming or working.

One example of separation need can be in age ‘youth’. Youth is encouraged to be the age group 19-29 years. There are many names eg FFF youth town or country xxx or Youth Strike for Climate town or country xxx. Also, by starting from 19 means that school children are not directly exposed to issues which can be difficult to cope without the support of adults and their own parents.
