Download or read book Equality of Opportunity for Sexual and Gender Minorities written by John Arzinos and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2021-12-02 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite legal and social advances in the past two decades, sexual and gender minorities continue to face widespread discrimination and violence in many countries. This discrimination and violence lead to exclusion, which adversely impacts their lives, as well as the communities and economies in which they live. A major barrier to addressing this stigma and sexual orientation and gender identity(SOGI)-based exclusion is the lack of SOGI-specific data. Robust, quantitative data on di‚fferential development experiences and outcomes of sexual and gender minorities--especially those in developing countries--is extremely thin. This paucity of data jeopardizes the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and countries' commitment to the principle of 'leaving no one behind' in the eff‚ort to end poverty and inequality. 'Equality of Opportunity for Sexual and Gender Minorities' assesses the unique challenges that sexual and gender minorities face in six important areas: (i) Criminalization and SOGI (ii) Access to education (iii) Access to the labor market (iv) Access to public services and social protection (v) Civil and political inclusion (vi) Protection from hate crimes. This report cov‚ers numerous policy recommendations to prevent and eliminate discriminatory practices in all of the areas covered. It also seeks to inflŽuence legislative changes and support research on institutions and regulations that can ultimately lead to poverty reduction and shared prosperity. At the same time, it acknowledges that the mere existence of inclusive laws and regulations does not ensure that sexual and gender minorities are free from discrimination--the enforcement of those laws is crucial. This publication, the first in a series of studies, will be expanded from the 16 countries included here to a wider set of countries for more in-depth quantitative analysis and to identify possible correlations with socioeconomic outcomes. It will seek to deepen knowledge, facilitate peer learning of good practices, and encourage reforms to increase the inclusion of sexual and gender minorities.

Download or read book Abortion and Democracy written by Barbara Sutton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abortion and Democracy offers critical analyses of abortion politics in Latin America’s Southern Cone, with lessons and insights of wider significance. Drawing on the region’s recent history of military dictatorship and democratic transition, this edited volume explores how abortion rights demands fit with current democratic agendas. With a focus on Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, the book’s contributors delve into the complex reality of abortion through the examination of the discourses, strategies, successes, and challenges of abortion rights movements. Assembling a multiplicity of voices and experiences, the contributions illuminate key dimensions of abortion rights struggles: health aspects, litigation efforts, legislative debates, party politics, digital strategies, grassroots mobilization, coalition-building, affective and artistic components, and movement-countermovement dynamics. The book takes an approach that is sensitive to social inequalities and to the transnational aspects of abortion rights struggles in each country. It bridges different scales of analysis, from abortion experiences at the micro level of the clinic or the home to the macro sociopolitical and cultural forces that shape individual lives. This is an important intervention suitable for students and scholars of abortion politics, democracy in Latin America, gender and sexuality, and women’s rights.

Download or read book From Child Sexual Abuse to Adult Sexual Risk written by Linda J. Koenig and published by Amer Psychological Assn. This book was released on 2004-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Child Sexual Abuse to Adult Sexual Risk examines the relation between child sexual abuse (CSA) and adult sexual health outcomes in men and women. An emerging body of literature suggests that children who experience sexual violence are more likely to engage in sexual risk behavior and, consequently, may be vulnerable to many negative reproductive and sexual health problems as adults. These problems include unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV infection, and adult sexual violence. In this singular volume, leading researchers and clinicians integrate research from a variety of disciplines, including epidemiology, traumatology, and prevention science, to bridge the current scientific literatures on CSA, basic trauma research, and clinical practice. Chapters identify the theory and research-based cognitive, affective, social, and behavioral consequences of trauma that influence both sexual health and sexual risk behaviors in adulthood. The volume also highlights new approaches that begin to translate these findings into interventions for people who have experienced CSA. This comprehensive resource delineates an emerging field of research that will help set a new c

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La delincuencia organizada constituye hoy uno de los principales desafíos a la seguridad, no ya solo de los Estados aisladamente considerados, sino de la propia comunidad internacional. El auge del sistema capitalista y de libre mercado, la apertura en Europa de las fronteras entre países, y la denominada “revolución tecnológica”, han sido circunstancias aprovechadas por las tradicionales bandas criminales, circunscritas originariamente en su actuación a concretos territorios y actividades delictivas, para fortalecerse y ampliar exponencialmente su campo de actuación, tanto en un sentido espacial como material. Conscientes de la insuficiencia de una lucha articulada exclusivamente a nivel nacional contra un fenómeno tan preocupante y que traspasa las fronteras de los países, las Naciones Unidas y el Consejo de la Unión Europea han dispuesto, entre otras medidas, la obligación de los Estados de incriminar en sus legislaciones la participación en agrupaciones estructuradas para delinquir. Los delitos de organización y grupo criminal, introducidos en el Código penal por la LO 5/2010, de 22 de junio, parecen ser la plasmación de dichos compromisos internacionales en España. Si bien es cierto que ya desde la aprobación de nuestro Código penal se contaba con una figura en principio viable para hacer frente a la delincuencia organizada común, como lo es la aún vigente asociación ilícita de los arts. 515 y ss. CP, su configuración como abuso del derecho de asociación y su historia, vinculada a la represión de la disidencia política, hacen de ella según el legislador un instrumento poco adecuado para este fin. En el presente trabajo se realiza un análisis dogmático y político-criminal de los delitos de organización y el grupo criminal de los arts. 570 bis-570 quáter CP con la pretensión de aclarar cuestiones que resultan hoy controvertidas: la identificación de un contenido de injusto que legitime la incriminación de las conductas típicas -pertenecer, participar, organizar, etc.-, en cuanto anteriores a la ejecución de delitos en el marco de la agrupación delictiva; la delimitación de la conspiración para delinquir con el grupo criminal, y a la vez de este con la organización criminal; o, en fin, el grado de vinculación necesaria con la agrupación para responder como autor de estos delitos.
