1. Introduction

I/We thank the Committee for the opportunity to provide this submission on the topic of [insert topic, e.g. public decency laws, censorship frameworks, naturist rights].

This submission reflects [insert: personal experience, organisational position, community concerns, etc.]. It advocates for legal clarity, human dignity, and evidence-based policy in relation to non-sexual public nudity, naturist identity, and/or digital censorship.

2. Executive Summary

  • Naturism/nudism is a non-sexual, peaceful lifestyle rooted in body acceptance, ecological connection, and philosophical freedom.

  • Current legal frameworks are outdated or vague, leading to wrongful arrests, discrimination, digital censorship, and harassment.

  • This submission supports reform to separate nudity from indecency, define naturist activity in law, and ensure naturists are protected under human rights principles.

3. Issues of Concern

  • Misapplication of decency or exposure laws to peaceful, non-sexual public nudity

  • Lack of definitions in law regarding intent, context, and harm

  • Systemic discrimination by digital platforms, advertisers, banks, or venues toward naturist content

  • Stigma and misinformation amplified by media portrayal and moralistic policy assumptions

  • Lack of appeal mechanisms for wrongful censorship or legal charges

4. Recommendations

I/We respectfully recommend that the Committee:

  1. Legally define non-sexual naturist activity in national or state legislation

  2. Clarify that nudity alone does not constitute indecency without intent to offend or sexual conduct

  3. Prohibit institutional discrimination against lawful naturist individuals, events, or groups

  4. Mandate fair treatment of naturist content on digital platforms, and clear appeal systems

  5. Recognise naturism/nudism as a legitimate expression of belief, lifestyle, or cultural identity

  6. Consult directly with naturist organisations and human rights experts during legislative review

5. Lived Experience (Optional but Powerful)

[Add any personal or community example here — wrongful arrest, digital censorship, venue denial, media smear, etc.]

This lived experience illustrates how current laws and cultural bias cause real harm to peaceful individuals who contribute positively to society.

6. Closing Statement

We urge the Committee to consider these concerns seriously and to act in the public interest by ensuring the law upholds truth, fairness, and human dignity.

This is not a fringe issue. It affects freedom of expression, lifestyle integrity, legal clarity, and trust in public institutions.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Sincerely,
[Full Name]
[Organisation, if applicable]
[City, Country]
