Bound By Silence: Psychological Effects Of The Traditional Oath Ceremony Used In The Sex Trafficking Of Nigerian Women And Girls, Jennifer Millett-Barrett
Bound By Silence: Psychological Effects Of The Traditional Oath Ceremony Used In The Sex Trafficking Of Nigerian Women And Girls, Jennifer Millett-Barrett
Dignity: A Journal of Analysis of Exploitation and Violence
Nigerian women and children have been trafficked to Italy over the last 30 years for commercial sexual exploitation with an alarming increase in the past three years. The Central Mediterranean Route that runs from West African countries to Italy is rife with organized crime gangs that have created a highly successful trafficking operation. As part of the recruitment process, the Nigerian mafia and its operatives exploit victims by subjecting them to a traditional religious juju oath ceremony, which is an extremely effective control mechanism to silence victims and trap them in debt bondage. This study explores the psychological effects of …
Protecting Internet Freedom At The Expense Of Facilitating Online Child Sex Trafficking? An Explanation As To Why Cda's Section 230 Has No Place In A New Nafta, Elizabeth Carney
Protecting Internet Freedom At The Expense Of Facilitating Online Child Sex Trafficking? An Explanation As To Why Cda's Section 230 Has No Place In A New Nafta, Elizabeth Carney
Catholic University Law Review
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act was passed in 1996 to promote and develop a nascent internet industry. The legislation affords protection from civil liability to internet providers that host content created by a third party. Section 230 protects internet companies that would otherwise be financially devastated by every defamation or libel lawsuit brought for each bad review or false statement posted. As the argument goes, all the familiar websites, such as Facebook, Yelp, and Twitter, would not have flourished without this vital legislation. Although Section 230 has played an important role in developing the internet today as we …
Catholic Social Teaching And Neo-Abolitionism: Tearing Down The House Of The Rising Sun, Elizabeth M. Donovan
Catholic Social Teaching And Neo-Abolitionism: Tearing Down The House Of The Rising Sun, Elizabeth M. Donovan
Cleveland State Law Review
Catholic Social Teaching (“CST”) is the body of literature written in the modern era by papal and episcopal teachers in response to current political, economic, and social issues. CST views individuals in the sex trade as victims, however they arrived in the trade. Prostitution abolitionists, called neo-abolitionists, because their current efforts to wipe out sex trafficking and prostitution mirror similar efforts by reformers in the early twentieth century, also view individuals in the sex trade as victims. A coalition of feminists and Christians developed neo-abolitionist social policy during the late twentieth and early twenty-first century. CST and neo-abolitionist social policy …

From Innovation To Abuse: Does The Internet Still Need Section 230 Immunity?, Benjamin Volpe
From Innovation To Abuse: Does The Internet Still Need Section 230 Immunity?, Benjamin Volpe
Catholic University Law Review
In 1996, Congress passed the Communications Decency Act to allow the screening of offensive material from the internet, while preserving the continued development of the internet economy without burdensome regulation. However, for years, online intermediaries have successfully used the Act as a shield from liability when third parties use their online services to commit tortious or criminal acts. This Comment argues that a wholly-unregulated internet is no longer necessary to preserve the once-fledgling internet economy. After evaluating various approaches to intermediary liability, this Comment also argues that Congress should take a more comprehensive look at consumer protection online and establish …
Mens Rea Reform As A Demand-Side Solution To The Problem Of Sex Trafficking, Daniel Michael Criswell
Mens Rea Reform As A Demand-Side Solution To The Problem Of Sex Trafficking, Daniel Michael Criswell
Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law
Trafficking in persons has existed around the world for many years, yet the United States has only begun to take this modem form of slavery seriously in the last two decades. The nature of sex trafficking has caused confusion for the United States and others around the globe regarding how to best deal with the commercial sex industry. The failure to reduce the commercial sex industry through traditional means of prosecuting the traffickers and their victims has motivated Sweden, and consequently the United States, to pursue a different strategy: reducing the demand through the prosecution of the buyers of commercial …
Stop Traffic: Using Expert Witnesses To Disrupt Intersectional Vulnerability In Sex Trafficking Prosecutions, Blanche Cook
Stop Traffic: Using Expert Witnesses To Disrupt Intersectional Vulnerability In Sex Trafficking Prosecutions, Blanche Cook
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Sex trafficking thrives on intersectional inequality and reinforcing
layers of vulnerability. Sex trafficking exists on a continuum of
sexualized violence, from microaggressive sexual harassment to
macroaggressive gang rapes, all of which create vulnerability in the
victim and perfect sovereignty in the perpetrator. Sexualized violence
performs power, as it is raced, classed, and gendered. Power not only
requires performance, but it necessitates repetitive reenactments of
domination in order to normalize its compulsive and pathological nature.
Lynchings, police shootings, gang rapes, and sex trafficking are all
performances of power on vulnerable bodies through which power
perfects itself. The same inequality that creates …
