Denuncia CATWLAC a México como centro de acopio de víctimas
Son explotadas en la prostitución alrededor de 450 mil mujeres
Por Carolina Velázquez
México, DF, 8 ene 10 (CIMAC).- En México hay 500 mil personas que son explotadas en la prostitución, el 90 por ciento son mujeres y niñas. El 80 por ciento de ellas no nació en la ciudad de México y fueron trasladadas de algún lugar del interior del país para ser prostituidas, de acuerdo con cifras de la Coalición contra el Tráfico de Mujeres y Niñas en América Latina (CATWLAC, por sus siglas en inglés).

Opportunity for Researcher
Please send to your lists and have them get back to me so we can screen
and recommend a few good people. Sounds like an interesting project.
This is from a work associate of mindeworking at www.dcaf.ch in Geneva
and needs the following:
"The question I have for you is the following: we have been working with
female security staff association-police, but also military, border
patrol and others-in West Africa for the last year and would like to put
those experiences down in the form of a policy paper on female personnel
associations around the world, their prevalence, structure, functions,
value added for female staff and for their institutions, etc. We would
like to commission a researcher to draft the paper, but we're having no
luck finding somebody with the required knowledge and time to do that.
Ideally, we would need somebody familiar with staff associations in both
developed and developing countries. It occurred to me that you may know
of somebody-one of your associates, or a bright recent graduate-who
could do that. The research can be done from anywhere in the world in
principle and we would pay a reasonable fee."
Take care. Margie

ARGENTINA: Muertes maternas no ceden como en países vecinos
Por Marcela Valente
BUENOS AIRES, ene (IPS) - Cerca de 300 mujeres mueren cada año en Argentina por causas prevenibles vinculadas al embarazo, el parto o el puerperio. La mayoría de los decesos se produce por aborto, una práctica muy difundida en el país pese a mantenerse como ilegal.
En Argentina se realizan entre 460.000 y 600.000 abortos por año, sostienen diversas investigaciones, lo que equivale a casi uno por cada nacimiento. Estos procedimientos, realizados al margen de la ley, no siempre se efectúan con las condiciones requeridas para evitar hemorragias e infecciones.
Según datos oficiales difundidos al finalizar el año pasado, en 2008 se produjeron 296 muertes maternas, 21 por ciento a causa de abortos inseguros. Se trata de un número alto, aunque sea inferior a los 306 casos del año anterior, y entre los decesos hubo cuatro niñas de entre 10 y 14 años y 39 adolescentes menores de 19.

IMPORTANT: BECAUSE CEDAW IS A BINDING CONVENTION FOR THOSE UN COUNTRIES WHICH HAVE RATIFIED, THE GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CEDAW COMMITTEE ARE VERY IMPORTANT IN EXPANDING CEDAW THEMES FOR ATTENTION IN MEMBER STATE REPORTS AND IN CEDAW COMMITTEE REVIEW OF THESE REPORTS.
Gender focused NGO's can find significant advocacy opportunities in the processes of the UN CEDAW Committee - Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women.

The Cycle of Violence Condensed into 30 Seconds
Video
Hard to watch, but good teaching/discussion video for cycle of violence, including how the animal never takes its eyes off the man and tries to please. And how the man's sole purpose seems to be dominance and control through cruelty. And how his show of affection toward the end is just a set up for more cruelty.

Warnings To Not Alienate Men
I came across a discussion which again turned to putting great effort into not alienating men when talking about violence against women and men's groups which put out misinformation to minimize both the rate of men's violence and the rate of women's victimization.
There is something inherently troubling to me about the call to effectively walk on eggshells when talking to men or trying to reach out to them as partners in reducing sexual and domestic violence. I guess it comes down to the fact that the core problem is something about the men who will quickly reject becoming partners in reducing or eliminating sexual and domestic violence and who will effectively side with abusers and rapists by refusing to acknowledge the gendered nature of this type of violence.

Research Article:
Title: Police and immigration enforcement: Impacts on Latino(a) residents' perceptions of police
Author(s): Guadalupe Vidales, Kristen M. Day, Michael Powe
Journal: Policing: An International Journal of Police Strategies & Management
Year: 2009
Volume: 32
Issue: 4
Abstract: Purpose – Recent years have witnessed a national policy shift towards involving state and local police in enforcing US federal immigration laws. Critics argue that involving local police in enforcing immigration law will decrease Latino(a) and immigrant residents' willingness to report crime and their cooperation with the police, and will also increase racial profiling and negatively impact documented and undocumented residents. This paper aims to examine Latino(a) residents' perceptions of the police before and after an extended local controversy about involving police in enforcing immigration laws in Costa Mesa, California.
Design/methodology/approach – The paper reports findings of a before-and-after study in the Westside area of the City of Costa Mesa, California. Methods include Spanish and English language telephone surveys of Latino(a) and non-Latino(a) residents in the Westside (n=169 respondents before and n=91 respondents after), conducted in 2002 and in 2007.
Findings – In survey responses, Latino(a) residents report that they are more likely to be stopped by the police in 2007 compared to 2002. Latino(a) respondents also have more negative perceptions of the police, find the police less helpful, feel less accepted in the community, and say that they are less likely to report crimes after the controversy, compared to before.
Originality/value – The findings show the importance of policies that encourage cooperation with and trust of the police. These results can help inform cities about the potential impacts of involving local police in immigration enforcement.

Espana-Los editores se enfadan con La Razón porque ya no anuncia putas
Los editores se enfadan con La Razón porque ya no anuncia putas
El diario de Planeta comienza el nuevo año libre de una publicidad que continúa reportando grandes ingresos a la competencia.:
Hispanidad, lunes, 04 de enero de 2010
El País es el periódico español que más dinero obtiene con los anuncios de contactos, seguido de La Vanguardia, ABC y El Mundo. Porque claro, una cosa es la lucha por la liberación de la mujer y contra la violencia de género, y otra dejar de ingresar unos buenos cuartos a costa de la prostitución o cosificación extrema de la mujer, en más de un 95% de los casos sometida por redes de proxenetismo más o menos amplias. El País de Janli Cebrán, El Mundo de Pedro J. Ramírez, todo ellos feministas probados, así como el ABC, de las muy católicas familias Ybarra, Bergareche, Luca de Tena, etc., continúan obteniendo beneficios del negocio de la prostitución.
Ahora mismo, de los periódicos nacionales de información general, sólo La Razón y La Gaceta han decidido no seguir aprovechándose de la esclavitud y la degradación ajenas. El diario que dirige Francisco Marhuenda obtenía 1,5 millones de euros por los anuncios de contactos, un dinero al que ahora renuncia, en coincidencia con la publicación, desde el domingo 27 de diciembre de la edición de L'Osservatore Romano.
Naturalmente, el resto de medios se ha enfadado con Planeta. Está dando muy mal ejemplo, oiga usted. Y lo que es más importante: les está poniendo en evidencia.
Ahora, hay que exigirle eso a todo el mundo. El Gobierno debería aconsejar al oligopolio que defienda los derechos de la mujer. No tengo la menor duda de que lo hará, siempre en defensa de la mujer.
Por el momento, conformémonos con felicitar a La Razón. Espero que gane los lectores necesarios para compensar los ingresos perdidos con las meretrices.

Philadelphia to Handle Abuse Calls Differently
by Ian Urbina
Responding to a sharp increase in homicides stemming from domestic violence, the Philadelphia Police Department announced plans this week to change how officers handle domestic abuse cases.
While Philadelphia’s overall homicide rate has dropped about 9 percent and all violent crime in the city is down compared with this time last year, there have been 35 domestic homicides since January — a 67 percent increase from 2008. The police say two additional killings are still being investigated and are likely to be added to the tally.

Book
Out of Balance
By Michael Arkin
Independent Book Review
Review of Out of Balance : Out of Balance by Michael Arkin was absolutely outstanding. Arkin did a miraculous job writing this novel, detailing just what can happen when the judicial system goes "dirty". Out of Balance is in the setting of today, which I loved about this title.
As an astute lawyer fights for the rights of women and children in domestic violence and child abuse cases, Arkin shows just how hard work can be made out as an exasperated waste of time.
When a crooked judge continually rules the cases that come before him favoring the abuser, Mathew Lucas is at his wit's end. When a few murders occur as a result of this particular judge's faulty and unjust rulings, it draws the attention of an award winning journalist.
Linda Lawson works for the Times in Sacramento California. She is on vacation when she receives a mysterious letter informing her of the increased domestic violence, child abuse, and deaths encouraging her to investigate. She teams up with Matt Lucas and they investigate into the violence of Maidu County. The closer they get to the truth, trouble stirs themselves and others in danger.
Arkin portrays great transitioning as he introduces his characters. He does a fantastic job keeping the suspense on the surface as the story opens, keeping you yearning for more. As you are indulged to keep guessing as to how the story will unfold, the ending will definitely be a surprise to you.
Out of Balance by Michael Arkin is masterfully written and I definitely would recommend this book. Arkin did a magnificent job keeping the enthusiasm from the beginning to the end. I give it ****½ (4.5) Stars ~BK Walker - Author/Reviewer of BK Walker Books,
