Corporations And Human Rights Law: The Emerging Consensus And Its Effects On Women's Employment Rights, Tiana O'Konek Jan 2011

Corporations And Human Rights Law: The Emerging Consensus And Its Effects On Women's Employment Rights, Tiana O'Konek

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that the current international human rights framework fails to adequately address corporate human rights abuses, particularly affecting women in the garment industry. This governance gap stems from the statist nature of international law, which overlooks non-state actors like corporations. Women in the garment industry, often confined to informal and precarious work, face systemic discrimination and exclusion from core labor protections, highlighting the need for a more inclusive and enforceable framework.

Where Are The Grounds For The Legality Of Abortion? A 13th Amendment Argument, Laura Sjoberg Jan 2011

Where Are The Grounds For The Legality Of Abortion? A 13th Amendment Argument, Laura Sjoberg

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article critiques the legal framework supporting abortion rights, arguing that privacy-based jurisprudence, as established in *Roe v. Wade*, is inadequate due to its roots in a gendered public/private divide that perpetuates inequality. It proposes a new constitutional basis for abortion rights under the Thirteenth Amendment, framing forced pregnancy as a form of involuntary servitude and emphasizing gender subordination rather than privacy or equality.

Using Gender Equality Analysis To Improve The Wellbeing Of Prostitutes, Barbara Havelkova Jan 2011

Using Gender Equality Analysis To Improve The Wellbeing Of Prostitutes, Barbara Havelkova

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article presents a framework for analyzing prostitution through the lens of gender equality, aiming to improve the wellbeing of prostitutes by offering regulators and judges a tool for evaluation. It challenges the asymmetric legal treatment of prostitutes and clients, arguing that such treatment violates gender equality principles. The framework proposes symmetric treatment or measures benefiting prostitutes to address structural inequalities rooted in gender, class, race, and socioeconomic status. The analysis draws on European and common law jurisdictions, emphasizing the need for gender-conscious policies to ensure fairness and proportionality.

Gender-Classified Imports: Equal Protection Violations In The Harmonized Tariff Schedule Of The United States, Jason Lewis Jan 2011

Gender-Classified Imports: Equal Protection Violations In The Harmonized Tariff Schedule Of The United States, Jason Lewis

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note argues that gender-based classifications in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) likely violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. It critiques the Federal Circuit's application of a lower level of scrutiny in Totes-Isotoner Corp. v. United States and advocates for courts to apply intermediate scrutiny, as established by Craig v. Boren, to such classifications. The analysis also examines the role of the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) in trade negotiations and asserts that international agreements cannot override constitutional protections.


The Use Of The Intent Doctrine To Expand The Rights Of Intended Homosexual Male Parents In Surrogacy Custody Disputes, Perri Koll Jan 2011

The Use Of The Intent Doctrine To Expand The Rights Of Intended Homosexual Male Parents In Surrogacy Custody Disputes, Perri Koll

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note advocates for the expansion of parental rights for homosexual male couples through surrogacy by promoting the intent doctrine and amending existing laws. It highlights the inconsistency in legal approaches across states and suggests that recognizing intended parenthood, regardless of sexual orientation, is essential for equality. The proposed solutions include adopting the intent doctrine nationwide and revising the Uniform Parentage Act to include same-sex couples.


Culture-Based Crimes Against Women In Societies Absorbing Immigrants - Rejecting The "Mistake Of Law" Defense And Imposing Harsher Sentencing, Gabriel Hallevy Jan 2010

Culture-Based Crimes Against Women In Societies Absorbing Immigrants - Rejecting The "Mistake Of Law" Defense And Imposing Harsher Sentencing, Gabriel Hallevy

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that the mistake of law defense is irrelevant in cases of culture-based crimes against women, particularly honor killings, committed by immigrants in Western societies. It asserts that such crimes, often justified by cultural preservation, warrant harsher sentencing rather than leniency due to cultural ignorance. The analysis distinguishes between first-generation immigrants and refugees, emphasizing that refugees should not receive special treatment in legal accountability. The article advocates for stricter legal measures to address these crimes and minimize their occurrence.


Orthodox Jewish Women And Eligibility For The Parsonage Exemption, Jacob Lewin Jan 2010

Orthodox Jewish Women And Eligibility For The Parsonage Exemption, Jacob Lewin

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note examines the eligibility of Orthodox Jewish women for the parsonage exemption under Section 107 of the Internal Revenue Code, arguing that unordained women can qualify if they hold formal theological degrees, despite lacking formal ordination or certification. It critiques Michael Broyde’s proposal that functional roles alone suffice, asserting that requiring formal licensing or certification prevents abuse of the exemption while ensuring its purpose of supporting religious leadership is maintained.

In The Manner Prescribed By The State: Potential Challenges To State-Enforced Hospital Limitations On Childbirth Options, Krista Stone-Manista Jan 2010

In The Manner Prescribed By The State: Potential Challenges To State-Enforced Hospital Limitations On Childbirth Options, Krista Stone-Manista

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that hospital bans on vaginal births after cesarean (VBAC) infringe upon women's legal and constitutional rights, violating principles of autonomy and equality. These bans are not only medically unnecessary but also undermine international human rights standards that protect women's decisional autonomy in healthcare. The analysis posits that such bans discriminate against women and set a dangerous precedent for state and medical control over women's bodies during pregnancy.

Lesbians, Gays, And People Living With Hiv: Facing And Fighting Barriers To Assisted Reproduction, Bebe J. Anderson Jan 2009

Lesbians, Gays, And People Living With Hiv: Facing And Fighting Barriers To Assisted Reproduction, Bebe J. Anderson

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

Numerous discriminatory barriers limit the ability of gays, lesbians, and people living with HIV to participate in assisted reproduction. Many of these barriers are created by laws and regulations, such as state laws criminalizing sperm donation by people living with HIV, and insurance regulations that are interpreted to limit infertility coverage to persons who have engaged in unprotected heterosexual intercourse that has not resulted in pregnancy. Other barriers are rooted in policies or practices of individual entities or individuals. For example, a gay man in Florida and a lesbian in California denied fertility services due to their sexual orientation have …

Gardasil A Year Later: Cervical Cancer As A Model For Inequality Of Access To Health Services, Micah Globerson Jan 2009

Gardasil A Year Later: Cervical Cancer As A Model For Inequality Of Access To Health Services, Micah Globerson

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

This article updates a prior feminist legal analysis of Gardasil, the vaccine against Human Papillomavirus ("HPV"), in light of new developments. Recent discoveries confirming that HPV poses threats to men led Merck & Co. ("Merck") to apply for FDA approval to market Gardasil to males. These developments have renewed focus on the recurring question of whether making Gardasil vaccination a prerequisite for boys' school participation will arouse the same public condemnation that resulted from the prior mandate targeting girls. Another new development involves a vaccine panel recommendation by the Centers for Disease Control ("CDC") that inadvertently resulted in a policy …

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note examines the historical injustice and ongoing legal challenges surrounding the issue of "comfort women" during World War II, highlighting the barriers to justice and the ethical and diplomatic complexities that have prevented resolution.
