The Absence Of Parenting Students’ Rights: How And Why Title Ix Tolerates Discriminatory Attendance Policies, Elizabeth M. Hady
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The article examines the gaps in Title IX protections for parenting students, particularly female students, and highlights how societal stigma and discursive frameworks undermine their rights. It argues that while Title IX prohibits sex discrimination, its implementation often fails to address the unique challenges faced by parenting students, especially mothers, who are disproportionately affected by rigid attendance policies and discriminatory attitudes. The analysis emphasizes the role of "contamination discourse," which stigmatizes teenage mothers as irresponsible and a threat to societal morals, further eroding their legal protections and perpetuating inequality in education.

Back To Basics: Special Domestic Violence Jurisdiction In The Violence Against Women Reactivation Act Of 2013 And The Expansion Of Inherent Tribal Sovereignty, Laura C. Sayler
Cardozo Law Review de•novo
Part I of this Note outlines the VAWA Reactivation Act of 2013, as well as the case law that it seeks partially to abrogate. Part II.A examines the delegation and inherent sovereignty theories more closely, and argues that inherent tribal sovereignty is the superior mechanism for validating the Act. Parts II.B, II.C, and II.D review the basic textual authority that should form the foundation of the Court’s analysis, and conclude that this authority supports recognition of inherent tribal sovereignty. Part III addresses counter arguments to this approach, and argues that, in upholding sections 904 and 905, the Court need not …

Flying Into Mecca: When Gender Should Be A Bona Fide Occupational Qualification For Expatriation Assignments In Female-Hostile Host Countries, Richard F. Brueckner
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The note examines the tension between preserving cultural identity and navigating the demands of globalization, particularly in the context of employment discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. It focuses on the "bona fide occupational qualification" (BFOQ) exception, which allows employers to discriminate based on certain qualifications essential to the job. The analysis critiques the narrow interpretation of BFOQ by courts and explores its application in religious and gender discrimination cases, proposing a balanced approach to reconcile business needs with anti-discrimination principles.
Fear And Failing In Family Court: Special Immigrant Juvenile Status And The State Court Problem,

Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law
Fear And Failing In Family Court: Special Immigrant Juvenile Status And The State Court Problem, Jessica R. Pulitzer
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The note examines the challenges faced by immigrant children seeking Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS), highlighting how state family courts' inconsistent application of the law undermines the federal statute's intent to protect vulnerable children. It argues that while SIJS was designed to provide relief to children who have suffered abuse, abandonment, or neglect, procedural and substantive inconsistencies in family court adjudications, particularly in interpreting the "best interests of the child" principle, create barriers for eligible youth. The note advocates for reforms to ensure consistent and fair access to SIJS, emphasizing the need for standardized best interest principles and greater awareness …

Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law
Women, Water & Privatization: A Human Rights-Based Approach To Global Water Governance, Tara Pistilli
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The note argues that recognizing and clearly defining the human right to water is essential for ensuring equitable access, particularly for women and children, who are disproportionately affected by water scarcity and privatization. It emphasizes that a human rights-based approach to water governance is necessary to prevent conflicts and protect vulnerable populations, as demonstrated by the Cochabamba Water War. This approach, supported by international law, provides a legally binding framework to hold states and corporations accountable for fulfilling the right to water.

Health Rights In The Balance: The Case Against Perinatal Shackling Of Women Behind Bars,

Health Rights In The Balance: The Case Against Perinatal Shackling Of Women Behind Bars, Brett Dignam, Eli Y. Adashi
Faculty Scholarship
Rationalized for decades on security grounds, perinatal shackling entails the application of handcuffs, leg irons, and/or waist shackles to the incarcerated woman prior to, during, and after labor and delivery. During labor and delivery proper, perinatal shackling may entail chaining women to the hospital bed by the ankle, wrist, or both. Medically untenable, legally challenged, and ever controversial, perinatal shackling remains the standard of practice in most US states despite sustained two-decades-long efforts by health rights legal advocates, human rights organizations, and medical professionals. Herein we review the current statutory, regulatory, legal, and medical framework undergirding the use of restraints …

Anatomy Of An Uprising: Women, Democracy, And The Moroccan Feminist Spring, Karla M. Mckanders
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
During the Arab Spring, Moroccan men and women first took to the streets on February 20, 2011 to demand governmental reforms. Their movement became known as the Mouvement du 20-Février. In a series of protests, Moroccans called for democratic change, lower food prices, freedom for Islamist prisoners, and rights for the Berber people. Initially, King Mohammad VI attempted to suppress the movement. When this approach did not succeed, in a televised speech, the King agreed to reform the government. In June 2011, the constitutional committee proposed changes that would reduce the King’s absolute powers, implement democratic reforms, and create a …

Previous research suggests that cases involving female victims are more likely to result in death sentences. The current study examines possible reasons for this relationship using capital punishment data from the state of Delaware. Death was sought much more for murders of either male or female white victims compared to murders of black male victims. Analyzing capital sentencing hearings in Delaware from 1977-2007 decided by judges or juries, we found that both characteristics of the victims and characteristics of the murders differentiated male and female victim cases. The presence of sexual victimization, the method of killing, the relationship between the …

Should the jury have acquitted George Zimmerman of Trayvon Martin's murder? Should enraged husbands receive a pass for killing their cheating wives? Should the law treat a homosexual advance as adequate provocation for killing? Criminal law scholars generally answer these questions with a resounding "no." Theorists argue that criminal laws should not reflect bigoted perceptions of African Americans, women, and gays by permitting judges and jurors to treat those who kill racial and gender minorities with undue mercy. According to this view, murder defenses like provocation should be restricted to ensure that those who kill minority victims receive the harshest …

Bearing Children, Bearing Risks: Feminist Leadership For Progressive Regulation Of Compensated Surrogacy In The United States, Sara Ainsworth
Faculty Articles
Compensated surrogacy-an arrangement in which a woman carries and gives birth to a child for someone else in exchange for money-intimately affects women. Yet, feminist law reformers have not led efforts to regulate this practice in the United States. Their absence is notable given the significant influence of feminist lawmaking in a host of other areas where women's interests are at stake. This lack of feminist law reform leadership can be understood, however, in light of the complex issues that surrogacy raises-complexity that has long divided feminists. In response to efforts to pass surrogacy legislation in Washington State in 2010, …
