Full textAbstract:
This study is a feminist-based reading of three of William Shakespeare’s works: Othello, Much Ado About Nothing, and Hamlet. The reading, although borrowing from the feminist perspective, is not a full-blown feminist reading of Shakespeare’s works. The focus of the study comprises the social circumstances and the misogynistic actions of the male characters and how these impact on the lives of the female characters. The relationships between the male and female characters are often characterized by physical and psychological victimization arid their feelings of misery and shame, and even total destruction of life (as in the case of Desdemona and Ophelia). The three Shakespearean plays portray male rivals who take part in significant roles that cause destruction of well established relationships. The men allow their egos to persuade their decisions, attack their internal emotions, and demolish virtuous women who are forced to become victims of political intrigues and machinations. Shakespeare shows two types of women throughout the plays: women who refuse to submit to men and demand equal rights, and submissive women who carry out the roles of an Elizabethan woman. Those who followed the roles of the Elizabethan woman, which is to be submissive to men, also demonstrate that bowing down to patriarchal rules does not guarantee happiness for women. In fact, it may actually lead to their domination and victimization. Furthermore, all female characters, whether submissive or not, suffered the consequences of male dominance and victimization. However, the females who lived up to the women roles of the patriarchal society suffered more than the women who fought against male dominance.

Corrick, Corey Travis. "Spatial variation in fishery exploitation of mature female blue crabs (C. sapidus) in Chesapeake Bay." UNF Digital Commons, 2018. https://digitalcommons.unf.edu/etd/798.
Full textAbstract:
From 2008 to 2012, the total U.S. commercial landings of blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus Rathbun, 1896) averaged over 173 million lbs. Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries are important contributors to this fishery, providing greater than 30% of national commercial landings annually. In Chesapeake Bay, C. sapidus exhibits a complex life cycle in which mated females migrate to the saline waters of the Bay mouth to spawn. During migration, females can traverse multiple management jurisdictions, complicating effective management of this important fishery. Sustained declines in harvest have led to management strategies focused on protecting the female spawning stock in an attempt to enhance recruitment back into the Bay. This study presents the results of a broad scale mark-recapture study (n=7,072) in 11 Chesapeake Bay subestuaries and one coastal embayment, designed to track female migration and quantify spatial variation in exploitation rates of mature female blue crabs. Tagging was conducted in fall 2014 (September and October), when most females have matured and begin to migrate to the spawning grounds, and in summer 2015 (July), when additional females mature and migrate to the spawning grounds. Approximately 8.1% of tagged females were recaptured within one year of release. Overall, the exploitation rate of the 2015 blue crab spawning stock in Chesapeake Bay was 10.5%; however exploitation varied widely among systems (4.0-28.5%). This estimate is below both the management target and threshold exploitation rates and the population grew in subsequent years, suggesting recruitment overfishing of blue crabs was not occurring in Chesapeake Bay at this time.

Full textAbstract:
Young women migrate from rural to urban areas for a multitude of reasons. As girls are encouraged to migrate into the city to find work, many are lured or tricked into selling sex to earn money. This study investigates the factors pushing a young woman from her village, pulling her to the city and the facilitating factors that enable her exploitation through migration and sex work. This thesis discusses the current literature on migration and sexual exploitation and addresses the gaps in information from literature and from previous studies conducted in Viet Nam and regionally. The conceptual framework for this study illustrates that young women's migration and sexual exploitation in Viet Nam is influenced and then facilitated by numerous factors acting at national, communal, familial and individual levels. It also discusses the implications of the research findings for interventions and policies that aim to reduce levels of exploitation of young women through migration and sex work. In-depth interviews took place with 20 randomly selected female migrants currently working as sex workers in northern Viet Nam. In-depth interviews were also conducted with 23 families in rural areas known to have children working in a city to help support the family. Additionally, key informant interviews were conducted with provincial and community leaders in both the rural and urban areas of this study. This thesis describes and analyses a qualitative study, which explores the decisionmaking for youth migration, the communication processes between a child and parent and the facilitating factors that influence a daughters exploitation through migration and sex work. In addition, the thesis explores the affects of migration and sex work on a young women.

Essa dissertação pretende debater o encontro entre feminismo e marxismo, a partir da análise central da Campanha Internacional Salários pelo Trabalho Doméstico, que tomou forma na década de 1970. A atual relevância da produção teórica e atividade política dessas feministas se dá na medida em que contribui para uma crítica da situação das mulheres no contexto de sua inserção no sistema capitalista, ou seja, das relações que se estabelecem entre elas e o capital. Segundo as autoras cujos trabalhos serão fundamentais para esta dissertação, no capitalismo, a posição social da mulher está atrelada, em boa medida, a sua exploração invisibilizada na esfera da reprodução social – aquela que engloba tudo que é necessário à reprodução da classe trabalhadora em sua condição de dependência e subordinação – da qual o modo de produção capitalista é dependente. Essas análises se desenvolveram à luz dos debates sobre a exploração do trabalho doméstico e sexual das mulheres no interior da família e perderam sua força desde a chamada virada neoliberal. A partir da década de 80, a agenda feminista se concentraria cada vez mais em pautas liberais, refletindo uma política individualista e abandonando, em boa medida, os debates em torno dos efeitos que a reorganização mundial da reprodução social, nesse período, impunha sobre os corpos e as subjetividades femininas. Acreditamos que, sem atentar para essas questões, arrisca-se a manter um feminismo que cuide sempre de sintomas, entendendo-os como a raiz dos problemas.
This dissertation intend to discuss the encounter among feminism and Marxism, based on the main analysis of the International Campaign Wages for Housework, which took shape in the 1970s. The current relevance of the theoretical production and political activity of these feminists is given as it contributes for a critique of the women situation in the context of their incorporation in the capitalist system, that is, of the relations established between them and capital. According to the authors whose work will be fundamental to this dissertation, in capitalism, women s social position is, to a large extent, tied to their invisible exploitation in the sphere of social reproduction – that which encompasses all that is necessary for the reproduction of the working class in conditions of dependence and subordination – on which the capitalist mode of production is dependent. These analyzes have developed in the light of the debates about the exploitation of women s domestic and sexual work within the family and have lost their strength since neoliberal politics has taken place. From the 1980s, the feminist agenda would increasingly focus on liberal patterns, reflecting an individualistic political view, and largely abandoning debates about the effects of the worldwide reorganization of social reproduction on the female bodies and subjectivities. We believe that, without looking at these issues, we risk maintaining a feminism that always takes care of symptoms, understanding them as the root of problems.

Previous issue date: 2012-07-03The present work investigates the social, economical, political, cultural and historical aspects that make children and adolescents vulnerable to sexual exploitation in the City of Iguassu, state of Paraná, Brazil. The large number of children and adolescents in situation of sexual exploitation worldwide, in Brazil and in Iguassu is sufficient to justify this study theme. The border's miseries , the sexual exploitation of female children and adolescents in Iguassu has the purpose to understand the qualitative details of sexual exploitation on female children and adolescents in Iguassu, Brazil, in 2012. We aim at finding the characteristics of this context, and understand, through studies, documents, descriptions and narratives, the sexual exploitation, and identify its characterictics and specificities. We have given priviledge to field research, by means of auscultation techniques, which consist in collecting free testimonials, allowing the subjects of the research to report their own lives. Throughout the auscultation we have found dramatic stories of the people who had their lives violated by social miseries, sexual abuse and exploitation.

This Master s thesis aimed to understand the constituent grounds of the sexual exploitation in its entirety and when this reaches children and adolescent girls and also theirs forms of resistance, which are given in the contradiction of class struggle. Therefore, I sought to highlight the living conditions of the daughters of the working class in sexual exploitation, unveiling the process of socialization and inferiority of the female in the class societies, theirs accesses and not accesses, the alternatives found for them daily, the particularities of insertion forms in this condition, that is to say, determinations of sexual exploitation, highlighting the resistance of the individuals, and discussing the ways of strengthening the latter. From these notes it was possible to enter the controversial issue of sexual exploitation, law and the limits of political emancipation, coming to treat more specifically the current proposal for 'facing' the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents. Moreover, it has made a brief analysis of facing proposals in the French context, not in order to make comparisons, but with the scope to contribute to the wider debate in depth, knowing the influences of the European context in the scene of Brazilian social policy. Ultimately, the conclusion so sought to contribute to current debates about the issue, pointing out the centrality of strengthening women's resistance, men, sons and daughters of the working class, fighting for social policies, but beyond these, thinking in transition policies, with the horizon of human emancipation as a real possibility
Esta dissertação de mestrado teve o propósito de compreender as bases constitutivas da exploração sexual em sua totalidade e desta quando atinge crianças e adolescentes do sexo feminino e as formas de resistência das mesmas, as quais se dão na contradição da luta de classes. Para tanto, busquei evidenciar as condições de vida das filhas da classe trabalhadora em exploração sexual, desvelando o processo de socialização e inferiorização do feminino nas sociedades de classes, acessos e não acessos das mesmas, as alternativas encontradas por elas cotidianamente, as particularidades das formas de inserção nesta condição, ou seja, as determinações da exploração sexual, ressaltando as formas de resistência dos indivíduos e problematizando as formas de fortalecimento destas últimas. A partir destes apontamentos é que foi possível adentrar a questão polêmica da exploração sexual, do direito e os limites da emancipação política, chegando a tratar mais especificamente da proposta atual de enfrentamento à exploração sexual de crianças e adolescentes. Ademais, foi feito ainda uma breve análise das propostas de enfrentamento no contexto francês, não com o intuito de fazer comparações, mas com o escopo de contribuir na ampliação do debate com profundidade, percebendo as influências do contexto europeu na cena da política social brasileira. Em última instância, o modo de conclusão buscou contribuir com os debates atuais da questão, pontuando a centralidade do fortalecimento da resistência de mulheres, homens, filhos e filhas da classe trabalhadora, lutando por políticas sociais, mas para além destas, pensando em políticas de transição, com o horizonte da emancipação humana como uma possibilidade concreta

Full textAbstract:
Mate choice plays an important role in sexual selection and speciation. The evolution of mate choice is intriguing in cases where choosy individuals gain little except for genetic material from the mate and where the trait used as a criterion for the choice is costly to its bearer. The sensory exploitation hypothesis is an interesting idea that applies to such cases because it suggests that sexual preferences may arise as side-effects of preferences that are under selection in other contexts. The role of mate choice in speciation is strong but is debated because the reasons for population divergence in mate preferences and sexual traits are sometimes hard to explain. Also in this context sensory exploitation offers a potential explanation in that a link between natural and sexual selection may result in divergence in sexual selection whenever populations differ in natural selection. In this thesis, I test several aspects of this hypothesis in a species of fish, the swordtail characin (Corynopoma riisei). In this species males display a flag-like ornament that grows from the operculum. Because females respond to this ornament by biting at it, it has been proposed to act as a food-mimic. By manipulating female food type and quantity, and testing the resulting female preference for the male ornament, I find support for the theory that the preference has evolved through sensory exploitation and that females indeed appear to relate the ornament to a food item. Furthermore, I show that sensory exploitation can lead to morphological divergence among natural populations in this species. Apart from the flag-ornament, other courtship signals are also investigated. The results show that the relative importance of different signals may vary depending on receiver motivation. This suggests that various aspects of both male courtship signals and the conditions during which they are being signalled should be considered to gain a full understanding of mate choice and its role in sexual selection and speciation.

The existence of humans has always been associated with movement, owing, among other reasons, conflicts, to disasters and search for more habitable areas and better living conditions. Historically, migration of women has not been given much attention by scholars; international migration literature has always been dominated by data on male migration. However, almost half of the immigrants coming into South Africa are women. Young female immigrants are considered more vulnerable than their male counterparts. Through a qualitative approach, this study aimed at investigating the vulnerability of young Zimbabwean female immigrants in Johannesburg, South Africa’s largest city and its industrial and commercial heartland, in order to develop a comprehensive strategy to minimise their vulnerability. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions were used for data collection, and Atlas.ti qualitative analysis software was used to analyse the data. The population of the study was young female immigrants between the ages of 18 and 35 years residing in Johannesburg, and experts in the field of migration. Purposive and snowball sampling were used to select the participants. The findings of this study highlighted that the young Zimbabwean female immigrants are vulnerable to abuse, discrimination, xenophobia, poor health, and social and economic problems. The abuse, discrimination and xenophobia were perpetrated by their partners, the society, colleagues in the workplace, employers, and the authorities who are supposed to protect and provide services for these immigrants. These problems were a result of the intersecting factors that cause the young women’s vulnerability. These include nationality, gender, legality, language barriers, type of work, poverty (and the desperation it generates), and competition over job opportunities. The study indicated that these female immigrants do not look for the law’s protection because they are afraid of being deported, and they are afraid of the police, who are reluctant to protect them, and often further abuse them. The study recommends the adoption of the Multistakeholder Comprehensive Migration Strategy which was developed in this study to minimise the young women’s vulnerability. This strategy promotes the collaboration of different parties at all levels – individual, community, civil society, regional and national – in achieving this all-important purpose. All these stakeholders should collaborate in initiatives to promote and protect the rights of these young women, and ensure gender equality in migration.

Full textAbstract:
Within the U.S. there is a growing interest in the case of female adolescents being coerced into the sex industry (Bernstein, 2010; Estes & Weiner, 2001; Soderlund, 2010; Williams and Frederick, 2009). This interest, which emerged due to U.S. involvement in the international trafficking phenomena and grassroots organizing, has resulted in a movement to end commercial sexual exploitation of children (also known as "child trafficking)". Feminist activists have mobilized around this issue seeking recourse for youth who have been victims of exploitation. This thesis presents a study of a prevention/early intervention program, the "Girls Coalition," founded for adjudicated girls who are deemed "high risk" for commercial sexual exploitation. The Youth Resource Center, a non-profit organization, began the Girls Coalition in order to prevent exploitation by empowering the youth to better their lives. While not an openly identified feminist organization, the Girls Coalition does espouse feminist goals and its mission emulates feminist processes. Through qualitative methods my study explores how the staff understand their role in the lives of the youth they serve as well as the organization in which they work. Findings reveal themes centered on feminist management and organizational functioning, which includes the processes and dynamics present within the running of the organization. Results also reveal themes that include how participants enact ethics of care and empowerment of the youth whom the Girls Coalition serves.Graduation date: 2012

In this study semi-structured, in-depth individual interviews were conducted with sixteen female street children aged 15 to 18, who were engaged in commercial sex work. These children were conveniently selected to explore the social dislocation of and social support for female street children engaged in commercial sex work. In addition, two focus group discussions consisting of nine female street children each, as well as seven key informant individual interviews, were conducted. This study found that female children engaged in commercial sex work experienced a high degree of social dislocation and that the children who participated in this study tended to create their own communities and isolated themselves from the broader community in which they lived. This study further found that different support programmes had been introduced to alleviate the problems experienced by these children and that a number of organisations delivered support services to address their needs.Sociology

Full textAbstract:
Ce mémoire a pour objectif général d'essayer de comprendre pourquoi, malgré toutes les mesures et actions entreprises au fil des ans pour lutter contre la traite des personnes, en particulier des femmes et des filles, ce problème persiste sinon s'accroît de nos jours, notamment dans certaines régions du monde telles que l'Asie du Sud. Pour atteindre cet objectif général, nous avons effectué une recherche sur le terrain dans l'État indien du Bengale occidental. Nous avons procédé à une recherche qualitative et avons interviewé divers intervenants à l'aide d'un questionnaire comprenant des questions ouvertes, semi-ouvertes et fermées. Au total, nous avons réalisé trente-cinq entrevues : treize avec des représentants d'ONG, trois avec des porte-parole d'organisations internationales, trois avec des chercheurs, quatre avec des employés de l'appareil administratif du Bengale occidental, une avec le dirigeant d'un village, une avec le sous-inspecteur de la police locale, deux avec les responsables d'un comité mis sur pied à l'échelle locale pour lutter contre la traite. Puis, huit entretiens collectifs ont eu lieu avec des victimes, des parents de victimes, un groupe d'adolescentes et un groupe de femmes.
Le travail n'emprunte pas la structure traditionnelle d'un mémoire de maîtrise en ce sens qu'il ne comprend pas un premier chapitre introduisant le cadre théorique ou conceptuel de l'étude. Du fait que la traite des femmes et des filles s'avère un phénomène complexe qui requiert le recours à divers concepts de base, nous avons jugé nécessaire d'intercaler ces derniers aux endroits appropriés du mémoire. Ainsi, dans le chapitre premier, nous faisons une recension des écrits sur le phénomène de la mobilité afin de faire ressortir clairement l'idée que la traite des femmes et des filles est bel et bien une forme de mobilité, une réalité qui n'est pas reconnue d'emblée par plusieurs chercheurs et intervenants impliqués dans la lutte contre la traite. Ce premier chapitre comporte également une description de la traite des femmes et des filles telle qu'elle s'opère à l'échelle internationale. Le deuxième chapitre s'attarde aux causes de la traite, aux facteurs qui contribuent à la vulnérabilité des victimes potentielles de la traite tels qu'on les retrouve en Asie du Sud. Or, nous retenons comme principale cause ce que nous appelons la « citoyenneté inachevée » des femmes sud-asiatiques; ce qui nous amène à explorer la notion de citoyenneté telle qu'elle s'est développée au cours des siècles. Le troisième chapitre porte sur les mesures et les actions retenues aux échelles internationale, nationale (Inde), régionale (Bengale occidental) et locale pour lutter contre la traite. Cela a exigé une analyse de la notion de gouvernance, laquelle est définie comme étant la nécessité pour les acteurs de coordonner leurs efforts. Le dernier chapitre est une synthèse des concepts de mobilité, de citoyenneté et de gouvernance en vue d'identifier une ou des pistes possibles pour véritablement contrer les problèmes de la traite des femmes et des filles. Notre conclusion est qu'il faut resituer le tir de la lutte contre la traite et s'attarder à la cause première qu'est la citoyenneté des femmes. Il faut de plus assurer une mobilité plus sécuritaire. Finalement, une organisation internationale ayant les pouvoirs pour protéger les droits des migrants nous paraît nécessaire.

Full textAbstract:
Au début de l'année 2004, la Mission des Nations Unies en République démocratique du Congo (MONUC) fut le théâtre d'une série de scandales liée à des cas d'exploitation et d'abus sexuels par du personnel des opérations de maintien de la paix Nations Unies (EAS). Les cas d'exploitation et d'abus sexuels se traduisent généralement par l'échange de faveurs sexuelles contre de l'argent (entre un et trois dollars par relation), de la nourriture (consommée immédiatement ou conservée afin d'être troquée par la suite), un emploi (en général des emplois journaliers), une protection, etc. Ce type d'échanges est qualifié par plusieurs auteurs de relations sexuelles de survie. Ainsi, les données fournies par le Secrétaire général dans son rapport annuel sur les EAS (2006 et 2007), données qui sont ventilées selon la nature des allégations, confirment que plus de 90% des EAS, se révèlent être des relations sexuelles de survie et des relations de prostitution. Il s'agit assurément du paradoxe ultime que des femmes et des filles soient exploitées par ceux même venus les protéger. La présence (et la persistance) des EAS résulte de l'interaction de deux facteurs, l'un d'ordre contextuel et l'autre d'ordre institutionnel. En premier lieu, certains éléments spécifiques au contexte du maintien de la paix permettent d'expliquer la présence de EAS. Plus précisément, ces éléments explicatifs sont de trois ordres : le contexte spécifique d'une mission de paix, les protections et immunités du personnel des Nations Unies (NU) et les relations de pouvoir asymétriques entre les hommes et les femmes dans le pays hôte d'une mission de paix. En second lieu, la persistance des EAS s'explique par une stratégie globale des NU inadaptée puisqu'elle ne s'attaque pas aux causes profondes de la violence sexospécifique vécue par les femmes locales. Alors qu'une stratégie globale fut mise en place au sein du Département des opérations de maintien de la paix (DOMP), l'ensemble de ces mesures a été inefficace à enrayer l'exploitation et l'abus sexuel dans le contexte des Opérations de maintien de la paix des NU. Mais plus important encore, les EAS se révèlent de précieux indicateurs de la présence de lacunes plus profondes et des limites rencontrées par l'institution onusienne à réellement intégrer une perspective de genre à l'ensemble de ses interventions, tel que la Résolution 1325 le préconise.

Text in French with abstracts in French and English. Translated title in EnglishLa recherche montre Voltaire comme un auteur très connu du « Siècle des Lumières ». Voltaire a pu démontrer la véritable situation de la femme à l’époque. Les romans de Voltaire bien que courts, sont pleins d’esprit et lui ont valu jusqu’à aujourd’hui la plus grande part de sa gloire dans la littérature. Les propres expériences de Voltaire avec les femmes qu’il a rencontrées dans sa vie sont dépeintes dans ses romans. Il a mis l’accent sur l’exploitation des femmes dans les années 1800 à travers ses romans. Il dépeint la sensualité des femmes qui a longtemps été un sujet qu’il aimait exprimer dans ses œuvres. Voltaire critique et ridiculise la sensualité des femmes. Pour comprendre l’’attitude paradoxale de Voltaire envers la femme dans ses œuvres, il est important de connaître les relations qu’il a partagées avec les femmes tout au long de sa vie. Son attitude sceptique est dépeinte dans beaucoup de ses romans.
This research shows Voltaire as a well-known author of the “Enlightenment Age”. Voltaire has been able to demonstrate the true situation of woman at that time. Voltaire’s novels though short are full of spirit and have earned him until today the greater share to his glory in literature. Voltaire’s own experiences with women he met in his life are portrayed in his novels. He emphasized the exploitation of females in the 1800’s through his novels. He portrays the sensuality of women that has long been a subject that he liked to express in his works. Voltaire criticizes and ridicules the sensuality of women. To understand Voltaire’s paradoxical attitude towards woman in his works, it is important to know the relationships he shared with women throughout his life. His skeptical attitude is portrayed in many of his novels.
