Abstract:

As of 2020, legal protections for victims of image-based sexual abuse in the United States remain inadequate. For example, no federal law yet criminalizes the sharing of sexually intimate material without a person’s consent (i.e., nonconsensual porn), and existing state laws are patchy and problematic. Part of the reason for this problem may be that U.S. lawmakers and the general public have yet to grasp that nonconsensual porn is a form of sexual abuse, with many of the same devastating, recurring, and lifelong consequences for victims.

Abstract:

While the American Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of 2017 (FOSTA) has been heavily criticised by researchers and activists for the harm it inflicts on sex workers, many of these critics nevertheless agree with the Act’s goal of fighting sex trafficking online. This paper, however, argues that in American legal discourse, ‘sex trafficking’ refers not to human trafficking for sexual exploitation, but rather to all forms of sex work. As such, the law’s punitive treatment of sex workers needs to be understood as the law’s purpose, rather than an unfortunate side effec

Digital evidence in child-related crime investigations presents unique challenges for legal systems worldwide, particularly as such crimes increasingly transcend national borders.

Abstract:

African countries account for a greater percentage of domestic workers who migrate to the Middle East in search of greener economic pastures. Interestingly, Human Rights Watch (HRW) recently observed that most of the unskilled workers are often exploited and abused. This is reflected in wages deduction, violation of contractual agreements and degrading treatments. Women labourers also report sexual assault. In worst cases, the workers are ferried back in caskets to their countries of origin. Some workers have also been reported to disappear ‘miraculously’, in the said countries. This paper sug
