California Governor Signs AB 1050!
(Requires family courts, if child wishes, to allow child over 14 to give testimony re custody, visitation)
for text of law see: www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/asm/ab_1001-1050/ab_1050_bill_20100827_chaptered.html
BREAKING NEWS: Last Friday, Governor Schwarzenegger signed AB 1050 into law! This historic legislation took over 18 months to reach the Governor's desk. We couldn't have passed this bill without your help sending letters, faxes, and making phone calls to legislators and the Governor! This is a great victory for children and protective parents across the state.
AB 1050 will allow children 14 and older to testify in family court, giving them a much needed voice in proceedings that greatly impact their lives. This is a first-of-its-kind measure and will change the limitations on children testifying, once it becomes effective on January 1, 2012.
For the past 18 months, CJE, CPPA and our allies worked closely with Assemblywoman Fiona Ma and her Legislative Director Eric Dang to guide this bill through the legislative process, working to build a broad-based coalition of support to ensure the bill's passage. Thank you to everyone who contributed their efforts to ensure that AB 1050 reached the Governor's desk and that he signed this historic bill into law. We needed to compromise in order to get this bill passed, so we see it as a starting point, and we anticipate pushing for future improvements to the law as we are able to.

Reproductive Rights
A First Look Back at the 2010 State Legislative Session
Every year, anti-choice state legislators propose measures intended to restrict women's access to abortion, including mandatory delays, biased counseling provisions and other burdensome and unnecessary requirements. On average, more than six hundred bills are proposed annually and dozens are passed, making it increasingly difficult for women in many states to access abortion.
This year has been one of the most challenging state legislative sessions for women's access to abortion in many years. States considered and enacted some of the most extreme restrictions on abortion in recent memory, as well as passing laws creating dozens of other significant new hurdles. At the same time, pro-choice legislators, advocates and governors continued to stand up for women's health and rights and in many cases defeated harmful legislation.
As we begin to assess the impact of the 2010 session on women's access to reproductive healthcare, the Center offers this preliminary recap of some of the major trends and most onerous laws enacted this session.

Feminists on the Frontline: Case Studies of Resisting and Challenging Fundamentalisms
This collection of case studies is a testament to the women and men around the world who have stood up to reject the imposition of norms and values in the name of religion as well as to expose and challenge the privileged position given to religion in public policies.
In 2008 AWID launched a call for proposals to document the strategies of women's rights activists confronting religious fundamentalisms. The final 18 case studies presented here are drawn from a wide range of religious and geographical contexts, and cover various fields of activism.
We hope that this collection will inspire, inform and encourage discussion and debate. Please visit this page again for updates, as finalized case studies and a brief summary of each case study will be posted on a rolling basis. We will also soon be posting a paper that introduces the trends and themes that are threaded through the various case studies.

Training
Prosecuting Crimes of Sexual Violence
Successfully prosecuting crimes of sexual violence requires specialized knowledge and the ability to analyze and explain complex legal, medical, and scientific issues while overcoming myths about sexual assault and sexual assault victims. The National Institute on the Prosecution of Sexual Violence II (NIPSVII) is a three and one-half day advanced training course designed to provide prosecutors who have previously attended the original NIPSV or NIPSVI with the training, resources, and skills necessary to overcome emerging legal issues and challenges to successfully prosecute these difficult cases. NIPSVII delves more deeply into the concepts addressed during NIPSVI and integrates such complicated dynamics as campus sexual assault, sexually exploited victims, and victims with disabilities.
NIPSVII utilizes a highly interactive team format to engage and challenge prosecutors while providing them the opportunity to collaborate with their peers to develop more effective prosecution strategies. Attendees will also work closely with expert faculty including prosecutors, advocates, and other national experts to examine and promote the application of promising practices being implemented by other jurisdictions across the country. In addition to victim-centered, offender-focused prosecution practices, participants will enhance their understanding of criminalistics, DNA, and computer forensics as they work through complex case files based on actual cases. Attendees will also be encouraged to develop unique strategies and policies to increase victim participation and overcome defense tactics devised to bias juries and judges. Participants will leave NIPSVII prepared to engage in local multidisciplinary training and encourage innovative system-wide approaches while implementing more effective case evaluation, investigation, and preparation techniques to achieve justice in sexual violence cases.

GUATEMALA - COMMUNITY-BASED WOMEN WORKERS ADDRESS
GENDER VIOLENCE, FEMICIDE, RIGHTS, HEALTH, EDUCATION
The Problem
Guatemala is facing epidemic levels of violence against women. Over the past decade, almost 4,000 women and young girls have been murdered. Many of them were raped and mutilated, their bodies discarded in public places. Despite the high prevalence of femicide (the gender-based murder of women) and gender-based violence in Guatemala, little has been done to counter it. These attacks are rarely investigated and fewer than one percent of cases have been brought to trial.
Neo-liberal economic policies have lined the pockets of agribusinesses and have driven farmers and small-business owners into low-paying, high-risk jobs at maquilas (sweatshops) in the cities. Without the protection of unions, Guatemala's 80,000 maquila workers suffer deplorable conditions and earn subsistence wages. The massive exodus from the countryside has also forced families to live in impoverished settlements on the outskirts of Guatemala City, where people lack access to basic human rights such as clean drinking water, sanitation and health care.

Consumir prostitución, ¿un crimen?
Valeria Perasso
BBC Mundo, Argentina
Las cifras dan señal de alarma: en menos de dos años, 700 jóvenes y niñas desaparecieron en el entramado de presuntas redes de proxenetismo en Argentina. Un promedio de dos por día, en un país que se ha convertido, a la vez, en lugar de tránsito y destino para la prostitución ilegal.
Redes inextricables de dinero y poder, de corrupción y connivencia, de esclavitud y dominación. Según la Organización de Naciones Unidas, la trata es el tercer comercio ilegal global después del narcotráfico y la venta de armas. Y va en aumento.
Para revertirlo, el Congreso argentino debate cómo modificar la vigente Ley de Prevención y Sanción de la Trata de Personas, que no por nueva –fue sancionada en abril de 2008- parece estar a tono con la época, según denuncian organizaciones no gubernamentales que trabajan en la materia.
El debate incluye una propuesta polémica: sancionar el consumo de prostitución como un modo de frenar la captación forzada de mujeres. Más precisamente, penalizar a los clientes que entreguen "dinero o bienes" a cambio de servicios sexuales.

Mexico fires 3,200 federal police officers
Hundreds of others face charges or disciplinary action as the government attempts to modernize the force and eliminate corruption, part of its war against drug cartels.
Reporting from Mexico City —
About 3,200 Mexican federal police officers, nearly a tenth of the force, have been fired this year under new rules designed to weed out crooked cops and modernize law enforcement, officials said Monday.

Esperan reparación miles de andinas y quechua hablantes
Dramática lentitud de justicia peruana para víctimas de violación
De la redacción
México, D.F 27 ago 10 (CIMAC).- De las 893 mujeres víctimas de violación sexual, entre 1980 y el 2000, reconocidas por el gobierno Peruano, 146 han muerto sin alcanzar la justicia y reparación del daño, ya que ninguno de sus agresores, en su gran mayoría militares, han sido juzgados y sancionados, denunció Diana Portal, abogada de la organización: Estudio para la Defensa y los Derechos de la Mujer (Demus).
En un comunicado, la abogada afirmó que esta es la consecuencia más dramática de la falta de voluntad política del gobierno por atender esta violencia perpetrada contra miles de peruanas durante los tiempos del conflicto armado interno que sacudió el país.
“Los tiempos de la justicia son demasiado lentos. ¿Cuánto más tenemos que esperar para que las mujeres vulneradas en su integridad sexual puedan recibir una reparación integral que contemple la atención a su salud mental, montos económicos y acceso a la educación para sus hijas e hijos?”, dijo.

Clinton Condemns Mass Rape Of Women, Children In Congo; U.N. Investigation Continues
Friday, August 27, 2010
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday condemned the mass rape of women and children in the Democratic Republic of Congo and vowed U.S. help, Reuters reports (Allen, 8/26).
"This horrific attack is yet another example of how sexual violence undermines efforts to achieve and maintain stability in areas torn by conflict but striving for peace," Clinton said in a statement released by the State Department. "Sexual violence harms more than its immediate victims. It denies and destroys our common dignity, it shreds the fabric that weaves us together as humans, it endangers families and communities, it erodes social and political stability, and it undermines economic progress. These travesties, committed with impunity against innocent civilians who play no role in armed conflict, hold us all back" (8/25).
In October 2009, Clinton presided over the U.N. Security Council Session where the U.N. passed a resolution that condemned sexual violence and noted "the importance of preventing and responding to sexual violence as a tactic of war against civilians," Reuters adds.
"Clinton said it was now time for member-nations to go beyond that resolution with specific steps to protect civilians from sexual violence and prosecute those who committed them," RTTNews reports. "She vowed the United States would do everything it could to work with the U.N. and the DRC government 'to hold the perpetrators of these acts accountable, and to create a safe environment for women, girls, and all civilians living in the eastern Congo,'" the news service adds (8/26).

Estados Unidos: Práctica sistemática, de violación y abusos sexuales en centros de detención de emigrantes
Denuncia de Human Rights Watch
México, DF., 27 ago. 10. AmecoPress/Cimac.- Ante los múltiples casos de violación y abuso sexual de mujeres y niños migrantes en centros de detención de Estados Unidos, Human Rights Watch (HRW) dirigió 14 recomendaciones al gobierno de ese país, para garantizar que estos hechos no se repitan.
Entre las recomendaciones, que HRW señala en su informe “Detenidas y en riesgo: Abuso sexual y acoso en los centros de detención de inmigrantes de Estados Unidos”, destaca que las autoridades de esa nación deben aprobar normas de detención que sean obligatorias y se apliquen en todos los centros de detención de personas migrantes.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. SHRADER, Defendant, United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia
2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 82175
EDITORIAL COMMENT: This is an important case because it expressly notes that a court need not "balance" the rights of the accused against a victim's privilege of confidentiality in therapeutic counseling. The court essentially rules that a judge considering a defense request for a victim's privileged records can summarily deny the request without expending the court's time and resources on the issue, simply by noting that the privacy rights of the victim are paramount. As noted in Jaffee v. Redmond, "[t]he psychotherapist privilege serves the public interest by facilitating the provision of appropriate treatment for individuals suffering the effects of a mental or emotional problem . . . . If the privilege were rejected, confidential conversations between psychotherapists and their patients would surely be chilled, particularly when it is obvious that the circumstances that give rise to the need for treatment will probably result in litigation." Stalking victims forced to choose between treatment and justice would essentially have no choice at all. This chilling effect is precisely what the Supreme Court foresaw and explicitly rejected in Jaffee. This court's decision stands in the minority compared to many state courts that have consistently disrespected concern for the "chilling effect" problem. Advocates would be wise to use this ruling to urge those jurisdictions to revisit the issue and adopt stricter standards against disclosure.

VIII Encuentro Nacional Feminista
Después de 18 años, se reunirán las feministas mexicanas
México, 26 ago. 10. AmecoPress/SEMlac.- Las feministas, en grupos y tendencias, han transitado en este país, como en otros de Latinoamérica, una historia de desencuentros en las últimas dos décadas, durante las cuales esta nación ha cambiado y la condición de las más de 50 millones de mexicanas se ha deteriorado en todo sentido.
El movimiento ha sido incapaz de llegar a muchas de ellas, está desarticulado y la tendencia a institucionalizarse le ha disminuido su capacidad de protesta y movilización. La negociación y las mesas interinstitucionales han sustituido a la organización de las mujeres por sus demandas, adoptando, en una tendencia mayoritaria, la política de diálogo.

Blueprint for Safety ~ Domestic Violence
The Blueprint for Safety is a prototype that can be used by any community hoping to link its criminal justice agencies together in a coherent, philosophically sound domestic violence intervention model.
In 2007 the Minnesota Legislature awarded a grant to the City of St. Paul to write a comprehensive plan integrating the knowledge gleaned from thirty years of research, demonstration projects, and practice into a “blueprint” for city and county agencies responding to misdemeanor and felony assaults. The St. Paul Blueprint for Safety is a prototype to link criminal justice agencies together in a coherent, philosophically sound domestic violence intervention model.

Experiences of immigrant women who self-petition under the Violence Against Women Act.
Ingram M, McClelland DJ, Martin J, Caballero MF, Mayorga MT, Gillespie K.
Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health, University of Arizona, 2495 N. Martin, Tucson, AZ 85724, USA. maiai@email.arizona.edu
Abstract
U ndocumented immigrant women who are abused and living in the United States are isolated in a foreign country, in constant fear of deportation, and feel at the mercy of their spouse to gain legal status. To ensure that immigration law does not trap women in abusive relationships, the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA, 1994) enabled immigrant women to self-petition for legal status. Qualitative research methods were used in this participatory action research to investigate the experiences of Mexican immigrant women filing VAWA self-petitions. Emotional, financial, and logistic barriers in applying are identified, and recommendations for practice research and policy are provided.

| Evaluación de la prohibición de compra de servicios sexuales.
La Ministra de Justicia sueca, Beatrice Ask, presentó el pasado 2 de julio el informe de evaluación sobre la aplicación de la prohibición de la compra de sercios sexuales. El objetivo de la evaluación era analizar cómo la prohibición, que lleva en vigor más de diez años, ha funcionado en la práctica y qué incidencia ha tenido sobre la prostitución y la trata de seres humanos con fines de explotación sexual en Suecia.
La evaluación indica que la prohibición de la compra de servicios sexuales ha tenido el efecto deseado y es un instrumento importante en la prevención y en la lucha contra la prostitución y la trata de seres humanos con fines sexuales.
El informe concluye que la prostitución en Suecia, a diferencia de otros países del entorno, no ha aumentado y ha contrarrestado el establecimiento del crimen organizado en Suecia. Por lo tanto, la criminalización ha contribuído a combatir la prostitución y la trata de seres humanos con fines sexuales.
Se ha producido un marcado cambio de actitud frente a la compra de servicios sexuales, que coincide con la tipificación penal de la compra de sexo. En la actualidad existe un fuerte apoyo social a esta inicitiva en Suecia. La prohibición ha demostrado tener un efecto disuasorio para los compradores de sexo. La investigación no pudo encontrar indicación alguna de que la penalización haya tenido un efecto negativo sobre las personas explotadas a través de la prostitución.

The Sex Tourist Next Door
by Amanda Kloer
This week, the founder of a prominent Haitian children's charity admitted to using the promise of food, shelter, and clean clothes to lure in homeless Haitian boys for sex. But this story is just one of many involving American citizens traveling to developing countries to victimize children. It's called child sex tourism, and it's a form of human trafficking happening next door.

Blog of the Institute for Feminist Legal Studies at Osgoode Hall
Here’s a new blog launched by the Institute for Feminist Legal Studies based at Osgoode Hall Law School, York University. The Institute has a vibrant register of activities and visitors thanks in large measure to the Canadian feminist law prof pioneer, Mary Jane Mossman, as well as the many feminists who are and have been appointed at Osgoode Hall. Sonia Lawrence has recently stepped into the role as Director. Sonia’s work on equality jurisprudence, criminal law, feminist and critical race theory, and poverty law is always interesting. The blog itself will go a long way toward “building a community of interest,” one of the aims of the Institute. I’d urge you all to check it out and consider posting or sending material to Sonia.
