Rape Cultures In India
(Cached)
|
23.12.2013 |
Opinion |
| Only a heightened intolerance for any kind of sexual violence as a social force will begin to chip away at the monumentalisation of rape cultures in India. Our collective melancholia must be far more productive. |

New York to vote on bill increasing penalties for human trafficking
|
20.6.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Vote would put state in line with federal regulations meant to protect sexually exploited teenagers from criminal prosecution
Lawmakers in New York state, where cases of human trafficking are among the worst in the nation, are expected to vote on a bill this week that would bring it into line with federal law to protect sexually exploited minors from prosecution.
The bill would raise to 18 the age at which a victim coerced into prostitution could be prosecuted.
In New York state, minors ages 16 and 17 can be arrested and prosecuted for prostitution, despite being considered not mature enough to consent to sex legally.
Other measures being considered by the legislature include making trafficking a violent felony, which would increase penalties for perpetrators.
The proposals form part of a nationwide, state-by-state campaign by advocates for child victims of sexual exploitation to stop them being prosecuted, ensure they do not have to prove they were coerced into prostitution and, to ... |

Hairy stockings are not the answer to rape culture | Homa Khaleeli
|
19.6.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| There's no shortage of wacky anti-rape products for women, but what we need is a shift in focus from victim to perpetrator
What would make women feel safer? For perpetrators of sexual assaults and abuse to get more than a 15-month sentence after they assault 13 women and girls ? A culture where the victims of sexual crime are not blamed when they are attacked? Or would having hairy legs do it?
In the battle against rape culture some innovators seem to think that old-fashioned notions of strong legislation need a few more, bells, whistles and technological wizardry. Here are some recent ideas from around the world.
Anti-pervert stockings
Fact: women with hairy legs are never sexually harassed or assaulted. At least that seems to be the thinking behind these fetching hairy leggings , which have become a viral sensation in China. Posted on the microblogging site Weibo , they are described as "full-leg-of-hair stockings, essential for all young girls going out". Sadly, once posted in the ... |

WB govt not keen to tackle crimes against women: Madhura Chakraborty
(Cached)
|
19.6.2013 |
CNN-IBN: India |
 Madura Chakraborty was part of a women's group which went to submit a memorandum to Mamata Banerjee to demand better protection for women in West Bengal and suitable prosecution of perpetrators of sexual violence in view of the spurt in crimes against women in the state. Instead, the women, some of them senior citizens, were manhandled by Kolkata Police and arrested. Mamata has already labelled those criticising her government for not doing enough to protect women as CPI(M) supporters. Women's rights activist Madura Chakraborty joined IBNLive readers for an interaction on the issue. |
