Many sections of the Act infringe on the rights women who do street sex work as well as the rights of all women in the community. The proposed Prostitution Control Bill 2002 (WA) incorporates the human rights violations contained in the Prostitution Act 2000.

- Rview of the position and role of woman in society from an Islamic perspective, divided into spiritual, economic, social, and political aspects. Focus on the normative teachings of Islam as the criteria to judge Muslim practices and evaluate their compliance with Islam. In identifying what is 'Islamic' it is necessary to make a distinction between the primary sources of Islam (the Qur'an and the Sunnah) and legal opinions of scholars on specific issues, which may vary and be influenced by their times, circumstances, and cultures.

- Description
- Over the last decade, many Indonesian women became involved in political activism, establishing independent groups dedicated to issues of gender equality and human rights. These women's groups, some of which are overtly feminist, were a crucial part of the reformasi movement that ended Suharto's thirty year dictatorship in 1998. Rinaldo wishes to elaborate on the connections between the older state-controlled women's organizations and contemporary women's activism.

- Description
- In a game theoretic framework it can be argued that a gender sensitive institution is an offshoot of certain social conditions, which in most cases need to be acted upon by some anti-establishment catalytic agent. In a society characterized by gender exploitation, catalytic agent can only come exogenously. For a sub-society it is easier to come across such an exogenous catalytic agent. The specific community conditions prevailing in such a sub-society may also prove to be congenial for a catalytic agent to act upon, or even to emerge from. In a larger canvas, however, as the exogenous force transforms into mere endogenous entity, and the society takes on the general character of male-dominance, the space for exogenous agency shrinks. There are, however, three possible escape routes from this closure. Firstly, external effects of women's empowerment in one subsociety on another may snowball. Secondly, the awareness campaign presently underway on a global scale is itself a potent exogenous catalytic agent. Thirdly, general development programs undertaken within a patriarchal order may unwittingly create conditions conducive to feminist struggle.

- Description
- Gekeken wordt naar de voorzichtige verandering in de publieke opinie in Ierland van een absoluut anti-abortus naar een meer genuanceerde benadering. Daarbij wordt ook gekeken naar de betekenis van het bezoek van de Nederlandse 'abortusboot' aan Ierland. Welke rol speelde het bij de succesvolle campagne van de pro-choice beweging tegen voorstellen voor een verdere restrictie van het recht op abortus? En wat zijn de perspectieven op een toekomstige verandering?

- Description
- This exploratory study examined dimensions of staff-inmate sexual contact in a correctional facility in Hawaii through two focus group interviews with imprisoned women. The women described three types of sexual abuse in prison: 'trading,' 'love,' and 'in the line of duty.' Findings include the women's account of these forms of abuse and their perceptions of responsibility for staff-inmate sexual contact in correctional institutions. The women's beliefs about factors contributing to sexual abuse of female inmates, including job expectations of and power issues among adult correctional officers (ACO's), and the consequences of reporting abuse are also discussed. Given the vulnerability of female inmates and the power dynamics that typify the prison context, further research on this problem is warranted.

- Description
- Research on the topic of consensual same-sex sexual activities within female prisons has been sparse in sociological and correctional literature. The purpose of the present study was to examine the characteristics and motivations which affect a female inmate's decision to engage in same-sex sexual activity. The most significant and salient variables associated with the same-sex sexual activity among female inmates were age and amount of time served. Younger inmates and those who had served longer periods of time incarcerated were identified as more likely than older inmates and women who have served shorter periods of time to engage in homosexual activity. Race and religion also had a significant effect on selected same-sex sexual behavior in the female correctional facility. The present study finds equal, but limited support for both the deprivation and importation models.
