Teach The Women Well: Education Equality Is Key To Preventing Modern Day Slavery Of Women And Girls., Katharine A. Drummong
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
The key to ending modern-day slavery of women and girls requires placing further support for education initiatives in origin countries. A pro-education approach has yielded the greatest return. Since the beginning of civilization to the present, people have been trafficked and enslaved. Movements to abolish slavery gained momentum at the beginning of the nineteenth century: Great Britain outlawed slave trading in 1807, the United States abolished slavery in 1865, the League of Nations enacted a treaty calling for the end of slavery in 1926, and the efforts have strengthened in modern times. The United States’ Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) …

Perpetuating Property: Exploitative Businesses, The Urban Poor, And The Failure Of Reform., David Ray Papke

Rent-to-own outlets, payday lenders, and title pawns should be banned. These industries exploit the urban poor by trapping them into a ceaseless debt cycle and are making the urban poor even poorer. Title pawns provide high-interest loans if would-be borrowers can produce the title to a motor vehicle. Payday lending allows consumers to get cash to buy commodities but are charged high interest rates. The rent-to-own business plays into the idea that consumer goods bring happiness and deceives urban poor with a way to close the gap in order to claim some degree of status. The urban poor who shop …

Unsavory Associations - Placing Migrant Children In Harm's Way: The Withdrawal Of Child Labor Rules From The Fair Labor Standards Act., Guadelupe T. Luna
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
Instances of youth injuries or death compelled the Department of Labor (DOL) to respond with proposed rules. The proposed Child Labor Regulations would have promoted parity between agricultural and non-agricultural child labor provisions. Lawmakers, however, erroneously mischaracterized the legislation as harmful to “family farms.” Strong opposition came from farming families and agri-industry representatives who argued that the proposed revisions would eliminate the “parental exemption” from the Fair Labor and Standards Act. As a result, DOL withdrew the proposed standards. The proposed rules would have increased safety standards and provided awareness of the dangers youths face in the agriculture industry. Children …

Muslims Denied: How The Uscis Uses A Formerly Secret Program To Delay And Reject Naturalization Applications From Muslims And Other Minorities., Deepak Amrik Singh Ahluwalia

The Controlled Application Review and Resolution Program (CARRP) unduly burdens applicants of the United States naturalization process and creates the nearly impossible task of erasing any national security concern. Minorities, especially minorities of the Muslim faith, are subjected to unfair investigation and adjudication of their naturalization applications. Congress allegedly eradicated discrimination from the naturalization process with the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (INA). The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the agency in charge of overseeing lawful immigration to the United States, implemented CARRP in 2008 to establish a policy for handling naturalization cases which might be perceived …
