Protecting Victims Within Legal Responses to Trafficking in Women for Sexual Exploitation in the European Union

Schriften zum ausländischen Recht

Over the years, the response of international law to trafficking has witnessed several reforms. The last of these, adopted in 2000, has been quite influential on the reformation and the adoption of trafficking regulations within the EU and its Member States. However, legislating against trafficking within the EU almost a century after international law first addressed the phenomenon indicates the questionable commanding force of the later. [...]

African Theology of Solidarity and Religion of Self-Deceit

The Nigerian Experience

THEOS – Studienreihe Theologische Forschungsergebnisse

Politicians use recourse to religion to promote their political agenda. They use religious events, gatherings and discussions to gain political advantage; businessmen and women use religion as an advertising mechanism. The genuine religiosity of Nigerians has become in itself a problem. It has created…

Gender Studies – Interdisziplinäre Schriftenreihe zur Geschlechterforschung

Lateinamerika gilt hierzulande fast stereotyp als „Kontinent der Machos“, doch bereits seit der Kolonialzeit erheben sich weibliche Gegenstimmen in literarischen Texten und im realen Leben, als diskursive Kontrapunkte, ironische Untertöne im reinen ‘Männerkonzert’. Aus der zugewiesenen Rolle zu fallen und den Fallen der Gefallsucht zu entrinnen wird zunehmend zu einem wichtigen strategischen Ansatz nicht nur in der Literatur, sondern auch in verschiedenen Ansätzen der…
