Muhammad, THE prophet of Islam, ‘married’ a 6-year-old. Millions are preaching the sanctity of child marriages and of pedophilia as a result. Please, check the web, to realize that it is not in any case an exaggeration.

-In India, qualified as the biggest democracy, women cannot get out of the buildings in which they are sexually ‘exploited’ (exploited, resounding capitalism) with people on every roof, at every door and street corner, ready to kill them at the first attempt to flee, that is the beyond the grave horrors of sexual slavery in a world that is now rich and connected.

-HOW CHINA CENSORS ALL OCCIDENTAL VIDEOS AND BLOGS (while next could be Russia). And now will Huawei- and the 5G- china having already spied on the African Union thanks to the servers implanted in the precincts-, have access to the European market?

A propos China, censorship through china and elsewhere, one may assuredly need to check ‘social credit’, ‘expansionism and belt and road initiative’, ‘Tibet invasion’ and ‘organ trafficking in China’.

– To impose on children operations mutilating their genitals to transform them into transgenders is a way of torturing and maiming gay children and others not in conformity with the backwards and seriously impaired normative attitude on bizarrely and suspiciously secreted, entertained and maintained’ believes and ideas’ on gender at large.

-In this day and age, fascists like head of the states, such as Trump, are in favour of the death penalty. Following the state of mind just stated, what kind of punishment should be inflicted on people allowing pollution and more destruction of nature to go on?

– People imprisoned in Russia to demonstrate or for social media posting criticizing putin or the invasion of Crimea or Ukraine.

-Illegal migrants are at incredible risk of being trafficked for their organs.

-40 million people are victims of modern slavery today, 25 % are children.

‘ United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) figures indicate that of almost 80% of identified victims had been trafficked for sexual exploitation’.

Up to 300,000 Americans under 18 at risk of  sexual exploitation every year.

Average life span of a victim is reported to be 7 years (from homicides, mistreatments, drug abuses, sexual diseases, suicides).

– How come that subjects such as child sexual trafficking do not come up on the news? one does not need to be a conspirationist, to understand that when topics such as modern slavery and sexual abuses against children are nowhere to be seen on the mass media then it is the undeniable sign of a society where elites feed working people with untruths and rule by condoning the vilest attacks on humans (and all other beings, and on the living) by humans.

Genocides we don’t know, or don’t want to know about.

-Could you please give some seeds (ground them for the smaller birds) to the birds, etc…? Their status as beyond homelessness will finish starving and torn them, to grow the heated hatred that will deservedly extinguished man.

 (One should attempt at networking to combat horrors such as human trafficking, do not hesitate to do so).

It is on all these accounts that I wondered whether you were looking for guest speakers for you podcast/blog.

ISLAM PREACHING «MARRIAGES» OF ADULTS WITH CHILDREN.

BAN THE PREACHING OF CHILD MARRIAGE.

This email is a part of a one only-sent campaign. Your email will not be used again nor given.

This petition aimed at letting people know about a simple fact:

MOHAMMED, PROPHET OF THE ISLAMIC RELIGION, ‘MARRIED’ HIS FOURTH ‘WIFE’. HE WAS OVER 50 YEARS OLD WHEN THE ‘MARRIAGE’ TOOK PLACE, THE ‘SPOUSE’ WAS A LITTLE GIRL CALLED AISHA, SHE WAS 6 YEARS OLD.

I REMOVED THE LINKS OF THE QUOTES I EDITED HERE. I HAD TO DO THIS IF NOT THERE IS TOO MANY LINKS TO BE SENT. THEY ARE ALL REFERENCED AND LINKED ON MY BLOG.

Mohammed married Aisha when she was 6 and the ‘marriage’ (I am sorry there is unfortunately no other word around to qualify that daily officialized horrific shame and guilt of our societies) was said to be consummated she was 9.  There is some debate within Islam about her age, but the overwhelming consensus is 6.  Below are the hadith (records of the actions of Mohammed that are very much a part of Islam) in support of this:
 

Khadija died three years before the Prophet departed to Medina. He stayed there for two years or so and then he married ‘Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consumed that marriage when she was nine years old.  Sahih Bukhari 5:58:236


‘A’isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house when I was nine years old.  Sahih Muslim 8:3310

From the hadith of the Sunan of Abu Dawud, volume 2, #2116 “Aisha said, “The Apostle of Allah married me when I was seven years old.” (The narrator Sulaiman said: “Or six years.”). “He had intercourse with me when I was 9 years old.”

By wikiislam.

“These texts are direct translation of the Hadith, Arabic Ḥadīth (“News” or “Story”), also spelled Hadīt , record of the traditions or sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, revered and received as a major source of religious law and moral guidance, second only to the authority of the Qurʾān, the holy book of Islam.

By BRITANNICA encyclopedia.

Hadith has become a synonym for the term Sunnah.”

However, the plight is not more about what the scriptures say but about the thousands of documents produced by Muslim preachers, believers or followers entirely condoning, honoring and recommending this marriage of an old man with a young child.

This information is accurate. Please, be aware that ‘these teachings’ legitimised as fundamental to the Islamic religion can be found by the thousands on the internet via a very simple word search.

Preaching that the marriage of Mohammed to a little girl is appropriate or can be taken as a, or the model has grave and beyond horrid and vile consequences.  From child marriage in countries like Saudi Arabia, to the many stories of Imams being caught on camera in Britain agreeing to marry children and presenting it as a suitable practice under Islam. 

The campaign and petition have two purposes: One, to ensure that people know what happens. The ‘marriages’ in themselves but also the fact that marriages of children with adults are in fact professed via the teaching of Islam. Two, it would then ask the government to sanction direct or indirect incentives and incitation to paedophilia and child marriage (paedophile marriages). Pragmatically, it means that Islamic teachers should be condemning child marriage systematically, and be severely sanctioned when advocating it. To praise Mohammed’s life without expressively condemning child marriage is in fact support to paedophilia.

The prophet Mohammed is highly praised and constantly cited as being the prophet and only prophet of Islam. His name is introduction to almost any communication and verbal or written exchanges in culture Islam.

No one needs to enter madrasas, Islamic schools, to figure out that Mohammed’s life is given as example and model.

 STOP CHILD MARRIAGE AND CHILD MARRIAGE PREACHING. 

PS: These acts or arrangements have traditionally been called child marriage. Still calling them child marriage hopefully would remind us who needs to be, by any means, protected. To call them paedophilic marriage could focus on the criminalization of paedophiles and paedophilic cultures permitting, encouraging it. To call it ‘child marriage’ stops naming what, once we know, make us all complicit of, since not stopping it. 

PS: Please note that two previous petitions has been refused or removed without any warnings or adequate justifications, also on main petitions specialised sites, petitions have limited time to get signed.

The petition I attempted via the UK government website, did not match the criteria, and had been catalogued under unpetitionable cultural matters. 

This idol, for which no discussion asserting the grandeur of islam and its master is tolerated, and is in fact, quite famously now sanctioned by death penalty. It is not called terrorism, the rules, here sharia and other Islamic laws, that are perpetrated by the power, or one of the powers in a given country.

Can Muslims be executed for converting?

Apostasy, or leaving the faith, is a very controversial issue in the Muslim world and experts say the majority of scholars believe it is punishable by death.

The Koran itself declares there is “no compulsion” in religion.

Al-Taqiyya, Dissimulation

There are several forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, the best known being taqiyya (for the Shia).  These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause of Islam – in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.

Ban the preaching of child marriage by Islamic preachers – and all others.

How China censorship forbids all videos (while next could be Russia), and blogs from western cultures: not an exaggeration Chinese people cannot access any of YouTube, google pages (to name but a few of what has been censored). These sites are just entirely and exhaustively banned and since last year (2017) internet users could be imprisoned if they try to access them (by buying software (called VPN) able to jump the firewall). SAME AS FOR THE SUBJECT ABOVE, HORRENDOUS WIDESPREAD BUT NOWHERE CLEARLY ENNUNCIATED IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA, SOMETIMES IN FACT INSISTING AND REPEATING THE OPPOSITE (like the BBC and to my knowledge all other major media institutions very own practice, so much for the 4th power, 4TH estate, and 4th branch of the government), THUS MAKING BELIEVE TO THE HUGE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION THAT IN FACT THOSE GROUPS HAVE PEACEFUL INTENTS AND WELL-FOUNDED DOCTRINES, WHILE ANY DEBUTANTS AT IT, IF SERIOUSLY RESEARCHING, WOULD KNOW IT IS ONLY DECEPTIVE.

Cannot hyperlink because was on the radio, but worthy item by the BBC to which I will refer here because while censorship of all informal (all blogs and videos) and artistic western sources is taking place and that the main media do not talk directly about it, many blogs and alternative posts have been produced about it (perhaps mainly by people having lived in China- in the past since now blogging on western platform (only possible with the help of a VPN software bypassing the Great Firewall of China) from china will be regarded as a criminal offence. However, the BBC (updated and ground-breaking- …it does randomly happen) is the only mass media that I know that talked (only once) about how internet choices and activities made by their citizens are stored by the government and how it affects (positively or negatively) the welfare allowances and help provided by the state (monopolized at all levels by the communist party, the only party), perspectives of jobs, of becoming civil servants, or benefiting from states services (in some part of China people are poor and cannot afford for the cost of their IDs and multiple compulsory certificate applications). The ‘state apparatus’ will respond individually to the citizens accordingly with whether they think that the citizens ticked the ‘wrong’ or the ‘right’ options. Have a look at the ‘Social Credit System’ in China that penalizes people socially through good or bad point attribution and distribution. From what we know of how (dishonest) states operate, one can imagine the good mafia earning a salary as civil servants lined u[with revenue as estate agents and honorific awards and rewards for the system (soon family or party heirloom [and the state allowing privilege or failing people- just laws aiming at being applied to engineer poverty, seclusion, outcast at the same time as slave-owners that built-up their chattel by asking the help of laws and councilors] when nepotism is well-endowed) to continue to be so sadly adapted to any sizes and levels of corruption.

-BBC and the other nationalised media following the trend of making people paid for the national channel licenses, whilst paying their stars, i.e. the people completely and truly monopolising the debates (debates that they impoverish through lack of will, skills and power (of decision-making, because so inane programs cannot be very willed if wanting to not dishonor one’s profession)- how can someone seriously be relevant every day on all matters—the poverty power of debates is such in some of these programs, and on radio that debates have been excluded as such, it is just people saying how formidable or ordinary they are and how they feel (think…monopolized for redundance such as this) about it, all of them sharing receipts for breakfast and positivity as mantra for not saying anything relevant to reality) in asking the odd interviewee how they are and how they feel, not what they know, not what they studied but asked about their feeling like you do the kings- like a bunch of paid psychologist (or courtesans) on sadistic trips, as if the whole society were confined to their hospitals of non-enunciating. Shushing and dimming, dismissing true specialists often and losing opportunities to aid education and cultivation: i.e. Propaganda.

These stars of the media, putting our brains off the notion of having to get educated, aware of what is happening around and beyond, and of the importance of true RESEARCH and results sharing and participating to these processes of society evolution and progress. Those stars putting off the scent paid millions, literally millions. To make programs that cost millions, sending them all over the world for one-hour watch, and then for filming their faces instead of what they were supposed to report on (and after that they will cut founding to every other investigative or research posts, positions and topics). When that despicable, disdainful, spitting at both everyone’s, less well born, Q.I (mirroring?) and ego, royalty slaps on the face will stop? Are we serfs? Well, wee can’t say no, and that goes on and on.

Quoting a Daily Mail journalist: homogenization of those media. That is discourses or chats dressed up with some kind of codified formality, but in fact all programs are the same, at all hours, and also the same as yesterday and only to be repeated tomorrow. This is not a comment on all media but of some, though nationalized, tax-sponsored, solely in charge of the education of whole nations…depredation.

Genocides we don’t know, or don’t want to know about.

‘Populism’ and terror:

Given that is going on in the USA where everybody surely fell for terror and cannot speak any longer without going against their nation-s. Or by taking side for her finally flourishing demon or without daunting/being dauted by anything coming from their colleagues and neighbors- an opportunity to clean kkk-ill. Even if this far right presidency went away, the schism, the hypocrisy, folly, impunity, misdeed and unfaithfulness all combined it created (and of its origin), will never ever in one generation heal (and remembrances this time will be held against an American dream which is were standing even though we knew about history, from the harassment of the Indian American, the natives, to modern more immediate history and the USA involvement in dictatorship settings around the world and war mongering in the sole view of oil-drilling and other misappropriation). A US that promised and promoted to the world its Mormons’ possible autocracy / technocracy and now endowed their presidency with sheer outright American made mafia. A US that always has smelt but now is literally reeking. And to whom will profit the deal? Who will profit from the dictate and fears of speaking and thinking; it will have been sowing?

Brought out of what unauthentic guy characterized as a system of fake news (noise of populist capitalizing captive- advertising entertainment propelled by the new-born-again like politician figure, who is worse than mafia, for having become civil servants- and let’s hope or pray or say that they won’t be able to do dodge their being investigated. Since if tax fraudsters are at the head, amongst other things, then it amounts to announce that democracy was murdered (and [s]laughtered again and again most notably by the biggest companies and states when pulling off international treaties attempting to decrease those same agents’ possibility for appropriation and destruction- in terms of capacities bacteria could [wail will] do the same-) well before by the clear majority of philosophies, politics and religions [wile and wilt] destroying animals and environments as a concept of progress and enlightenment. Un-naively democracy is dead, or rather not it, it is done as: ‘has never lived, but its every shred shared’), which is a veil and a reinforcement process-procedural stinking stunt, to bolster embolies through A-level censorship method and pathway, that regime of ‘no news’ (for the worst).

The people who attack the media this preposterously [wanted to undermine the crucial role of info sharing and freedom of information and thoughts], are in fact the very ones that cannot be happier (versus contented) with what the media do; they just want them to do it more. They work with mainstream journalism and do not bother with others; because to attempt campaigning otherwise -outside the few hundred people speaking to millions- is just as socially and politically impacting as being unreportedly kidnapped, made disappear into a desert and die. You do not need bullet for a whistle-blower, you just need a sack and a gag. As for firing the arsonists, they hold the keys- though not to the Olympian sky.

Apropos desert, if you think it is chilly sometimes, it is because of the ice and snow that are melting [iceberg, mountain glaciers (our earthly galaxy) and poles melting giving a last chill away], like the rest of us will, with plastic and the chemicals that have been poured in the cranks and cronies and better poisoning. Vomiting what we inject in our floor? Not ours but we will be dispossessed with even our death for what we done to a mother who natal has nature for her labor and sanity.

Ban the preachings of child marriage by Islamic preachers – and all others.

The scandal ‘Trojan horse’ with 6 schools in Birmingham found to impose Islamic regime and discrimination on teachers and pupils in state schools. Or in Germany (while the uk royals are of german origins) with its centuries-long associations and collaborations with the ottoman rulers.

One in four children in the UK under the poverty line: not a secret, a frequent headline, at least in the UK.

How while far-right threat has spread all over Europe, the UK is the best destination for female genital mutilation.

  •  The censorship occurring on the net globally has been tagged as e-books burning. Germany just created ‘the best’ law around hate speech to prompt internet platforms to censor content (while at the moment Germany trades several of their car makes taken red-handed lying about their pollution rates, including BMW that trapped and burnt alive its drivers). –

Censoring platforms though they are not platforms but publishers of private gigs (ex: you have to know your friends on FB, unreachable and from which one cannot leave, beyond which one cannot reach, hermetic circles) who (not-e- that who) moderate and select, destroying people’s hopes for a e-presence and existence, deleting billions of comments, millions of accounts, thousands of political accounts, mostly why? Because the only niche for communications or visibility will reside in paying heavy fees for adds in the mire that will leave the big companies for the small to gradually bleed, to lament (money, pain, violence, hope for the devil to put an end and therefore further murders activities in order to sing, call and feel they are something (to pray and be a prey), and die [idea]hide.

  • While Europe starts excelling at ushering in human trafficking. During which time population more and more are killed by respiratory diseases caused by lethal pollutions that have for only equal the degree of desertification of the country side, not the lack of their sirs, but the one of the trees and species that are no more, but farms destroying any corners left of nature and then enjoy animal breeding -culture- for slaughters.  
  • How university fees and research will be paid by the banks, that will decide from the students they will agree to send or not send (to ‘recruit’ or not ‘recruit’, to the surveys they will lead and initiate and the results they will publishate. No formation, just to format.

How it just takes maximum a first semester in political sciences for beginners to know that referendum is widely considered as potentially totally undemocratic. You know, would you like to vote to rip lgbt people off their rights to marry, (one of the traditional steps to bring people to worse than serfage) novelty.

  • How ‘child marriages’ even when illegal are tolerated and happening de facto in so many ‘muslim’ and ‘christian’ countries, including the USA, with the most occurrences of that scourge in the world are mainly in Africa in countries such as Niger, CAR, Chad, Burkina Faso, Mali, Bangladesh for Asia….
  • And how in France notably, cons and business alike get away with anything dragging journalists before courts asking for millions of euros when the press did disclosure or search for information. Charlie Hebdo had to fight numerous trials by many national organizations (mainly islamic, catholic, far right) just for having published caricatures, with the clear aim of entertaining, often out of situations and people so discriminatory in what they do and successful that laugh is used as a last remedy, (be)for long no more as comedy. On the megalomania of the inquisition, or how cheap will sound now the idea of a philosopher king. As for the rest, the extreme will sympathise with the Russian who reignites the armament armada stupendously (mind the economy of the Russian kleptomaniac regime though inspiring many is not much above the floor), and the others are so filthy and rich they don’t need to be far of any side, they just are gods to the same way they respect insects, inspect, the same way they will do it to the common, a citizenship dishonest. The man and woman in the street who will in return roam to make sure everyone is in the line of nothingness that numerously will enumerate, who needs discrimination when the reign is annihilate. In France one in 5 children live under the poverty line.
  • Untouchable not permitted to enter the so-called temples.

The red quarters in India in fact traffic millions of women with to each door and on each roof, mafia preventing them to escape.

  • Let’s hope that Jewish believers will never resume animal sacrifices once the third temple has been rebuilt.
  • Do not think what you feel is cold that refutes global warming’s existentialism. It is the cold coming from ice and snow melting, disappearing. Cold indeed. Colder than death, as this one is the one deserving.
  • Occulted by the news is the level of poison in the land in our blood, in everywhere, chemicals that will never got rid. Do you know for example everybody in the world now tests positive to have in their blood traces some perfluorooctanoic acid, thanks to Teflon’s products? What about plastic, gas, refined oil, carcinogenic dusts, and everything else that will dissolute, petrify before fermenting on what used to be alive and kicking.
  • On trump advising death row for hate crimes. What should be done for global warming’s deniers and the lot that will pass laws killing us all, and singularly many in particular, inter and intranationally?? And other sleigh of the sleeve (slay-eve) of the sorts? Sieve, civet?

Or not a thing waiting the g-race to join in. gI.g8.

  • People imprisoned in Russia to demonstrate or for social media posting criticizing putin or the invasion of Crimea or Ukraine.
  • Illegal migrants are at incredible risk of being trafficked for their organs.
  • In China organs ‘harvesting’ of prisoners and prisoners of conscience are being done by the thousands by the authorities.
  • -40 million people are victims of modern slavery today, 25 % are children, 80% is sexual slavery. The ‘United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) figures indicate that almost 80% of identified victims had been trafficked for sexual exploitation’.

Up to 300,000 Americans under 18 at risk of sexual exploitation every year. An example of what these former rich countries have been doing with money and ideology. Markets as immaculated, pure idol.

Average life span of a victim is reported to be 7 years (from homicides, mistreatments, drug abuses, sexual diseases, suicides).

  • One does not need to be a conspirationist, to understand that when topics such as modern slavery and sexual abuses against children are nowhere to be seen on the mass media then it is the undeniable sign of a society where elites feed working people with untruths and pervading rule by condoning the vilest attacks on humans (and all other beings, and on the living) by humans (themselves). I initially thought that the world I was in, was this group of people that would have run towards the child fallen as victim. People who would have done this, bills, nails and fangs to the one child- not a society that lived from the hidden and approved and gaslighted hell on earth lives of thousands of thousand.

And murders with dignitas, swiss or belgian style- belying another fiscal paradies, the emblem of money cleansing, and when the ‘pro-life parties’ are mostly the ones that would, lives trap, threat, throat and rape. Belling to Belligerents that their lives, their very Light will to integrate the society belly’s acids belongings.

But of course, all of it and more will be taken back by far right and left throwing the responsibility, the culpability of not responding at others groups, while their countries had plundered. And while they are too coward and undignified to address, pretending to candour, their own countries, nations and workers and say we cannot not stop misery- because misery is what they would like to assume and produce on a very larger and systematic scale than the upper middle-class, and every of the rest, of what has been left, helping her, that just let it hap-pen.

Awe. You imagine now, with the kind of work that do the police, this will encourage the far right! While police are in most countries where far rights officially exist and persist, the police is often very keen to be proven to be‘ultra-nationalist’ members, (check on police party or police trade union allegiance? Far right, right, left, what one? In France it is averred to be often far right, and for you?)

Gay relationships are still criminalised in 72 countries, report finds

50 years after Britain’s partial decriminalisation of homosexuality, in eight countries it can still result in death penalty

Fifty years after homosexuality was decriminalised in England and Wales, 72 other countries and territories worldwide continue to criminalise same-sex relationships, including 45 in which sexual relationships between women are outlawed.

There are eight countries in which homosexuality can result in a death penalty, and dozens more in which homosexual acts can result in a prison sentence, according to an annual report by the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA).

But Britain was by no means a frontrunner when it moved 50 years ago to partly decriminalise homosexuality. Some 20 other countries had already led the way, including France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Brazil and Argentina, all of whom had legalised it well before 1900.

In Iran, Sudan, Saudi Arabia and Yemen, homosexuality is still punishable by death, under sharia law. The same applies in parts of Somalia and northern Nigeria. In two other countries – Syria and Iraq – the death penalty is carried out by non-state actors, including Islamic State.

The report notes that, although the potential exists for a death penalty to be handed down under sharia courts in at least five other countries – Pakistan, Afghanistan, the UAE, Qatar and Mauritania

A co-author of the ILGA report, Aengus Carroll, said it remained the case that there was “no country in the world where LGBT people are safe from discrimination, stigmatisation or violence”.

Map of Countries that Criminalise LGBT People

Key Facts

  • 72

jurisdictions criminalise private, consensual, same-sex sexual activity. The majority of these jurisdictions explicitly criminalise sex between men via ‘sodomy’, ‘buggery’ and ‘unnatural offences’ laws. Almost half of them are Commonwealth jurisdictions.

.

  • 44

jurisdictions criminalise private, consensual sexual activity between women using laws against ‘lesbianism’[…]

  • 11

jurisdictions in which the death penalty is imposed or at least a possibility for private, consensual same-sex sexual activity. At least 6 of these implement the death penalty – Iran, Northern Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Yemen – and the death penalty is a legal possibility in Afghanistan, Brunei, Mauritania, Pakistan, Qatar and UAE.

  • 15

jurisdictions criminalise the gender identity and/or expression of transgender people, using so-called ‘cross-dressing’, ‘impersonation’ and ‘disguise’ laws. In many more countries transgender people are targeted by a range of laws that criminalise same-sex activity and vagrancy, hooliganism and public order offences.

https://www.humandignitytrust.org/lgbt-the-law/map-of-criminalisation/

http://internap.hrw.org/features/features/lgbt_laws/

Among countries that expressly forbid expression of transgender identities, at least three, Brunei, Oman and Kuwait, have national laws that criminalize “posing as” or “imitating” a person of a different sex. Saudi Arabia has no codified law, but police routinely arrest people based on their gender expression. Malaysia also criminalizes “posing as” a different sex, not in its federal criminal code but in the Sharia codes of each of its states and its federal territory. Nigeria criminalizes transgender and gender nonconforming people in its northern states under Sharia.

The maps addressing criminalization of same-sex conduct include the 70 countries with national laws forbidding same-sex conduct. But others bear mention. The UAE has no federal law against homosexual conduct, but several emirates, do in their own penal codes

In Indonesia, Aceh province is semi-autonomous and criminalizes same-sex conduct under Sharia (Islamic law).

In South Korea, the military criminal code punishes same-sex conduct with up to two years in prison, even though criminal sanctions for same-sex conduct do not apply to the civilian population.

Human Dignity Trust has reported that 15 countries maintain unequal ages of consent

The countries where homosexuality is illegal

Singapore court upholds law criminalising gay sex

The LGBT rights movement in Singapore subsequently regained momentum in the wake of India’s decision in 2018 to scrap similar legislation left over “from its own period under British rule”, reports Malaysia-based news site The Star.

Europe

No countries in Europe have laws explicitly preventing homosexual activities. However, The Guardian reports that increasing numbers of politicians and church leaders have been stirring homophobia to rally bases and provoke fear among voters in Eastern Europe. 

The future looks even bleaker, with Amnesty International warning that “legal rights are diminishing for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people across the African continent”.

In the overwhelmingly Islamic Middle East, it is quicker to highlight the countries that do not currently have anti-gay laws than those that do. In several nations same-sex relations are punishable by death.

Bahrain, Israel and Jordan are the only countries in the region that do not outlaw homosexuality. Even in these countries, police protections offered to sexual minorities are minimal and vigilante justice often prevails.

Iraq decriminalised homosexuality in 2003, but the subsequent collapse of its government and territorial claims by the extremist Islamic State (Isis) led to widespread persecution and informal punishment of homosexuals, including execution.

Meanwhile, Asia has a mixed record on gay rights. Many countries on the continent have never passed any form of anti-gay legislation, including Cambodia, South Korea, Taiwan, Laos and the Philippines, while Japan decriminalised homosexuality almost 140 years ago.

Singapore high court upholds law criminalising gay sex

Singapore high court upholds law criminalising gay sex

City state rejects three separate appeals arguing that the legislation is unconstitutional

Singapore’s high court has upheld a colonial-era law that criminalises sex between men, putting the international financial centre at odds with the liberal trend to embrace same-sex relationships. 

Under Singaporean law, a man found guilty of “gross indecency” with another man faces up to two years in prison. M Ravi, a lawyer who represented one of the appeals, said the court ruling was “shocking” but not surprising. The continued criminalisation of homosexuality in Singapore bucks moves elsewhere in the region to embrace LGBT rights that was invigorated by Taiwan’s decision to legalise gay marriage last year. This made it the first Asian jurisdiction to allow same-sex unions. 

He pointed to drafting legislation in Thailand that would allow broad marriage equality. “Once Thailand passes that [law] we believe there could be very significant progress on LGBT rights in countries like Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar,” said Mr Robertson.

In India, where the supreme court struck down a similar colonial-era provision to the one upheld in Singapore, even traditional heavy industry employers such as Tata Steel are taking steps to embrace LGBT employees.

While some parts of Asia have embraced LGBT rights, Brunei was last year forced to back down on new laws that would make gay sex and adultery punishable with death by stoning.

https://www.ft.com/content/393b3145-9567-4bfc-9ebc-0e92e4e2ddde

The report follows research published last week into lesbian and bisexual women’s experiences of persecution for their sexual orientation. The research found ‘corrective rape’ and forced marriages are common in some countries on the basis that this can ‘cure’ them.

Many countries only criminalise sex between men due to historic penal codes from British colonial rule which define sex as penile penetration. However, a growing number are criminalising sex between women as they believe doing so strengthens laws against men as the countries can assert the legislation is ‘gender neutral’ and therefore not discriminatory.

As Bhutan scraps gay sex ban, what pro-LGBT+ steps have others taken?

By Reuters | Posted by Jahnavi Gupta | New Delhi

UPDATED ON DEC 11, 2020 06:05 PM IST

As countries around the world move to dismantle often centuries-old laws banning gay sex, Bhutan has become the latest nation to take steps to ease restrictions on same-sex relationships.

The United Nations has called on nations to throw out anti-LGBT+ laws, saying they legitimise discrimination against LGBT+ people and expose them to hate crimes, police abuse, torture and family violence.

Here are the latest nine countries to remove bans on same-sex relations:

Kenyan LGBT refugees live in fear of rape and assault

Lesbian and gay refugees live in fear for their lives in the Kakuma refugee camp, with, they say, the police and UN doing little to help

Nairobi — Eva Nabagala hoped she and her young son would be safe from her family when they fled Uganda for a Kenyan refugee camp — but instead she was attacked and raped there as punishment for being a lesbian.

She’s one of a group of about 300 gay, lesbian and transgender refugees in Kakuma refugee camp in northwestern Kenya, who say other refugees repeatedly attack them because of their sexual orientation. The group say police and the UN refugee agency, UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), have failed to protect them.

Stephen Sebuuma, another Ugandan refugee in Kakuma, said refugees armed with iron bars, sticks and machetes damaged their houses on three occasions, injuring four adults and two children. “Police insult us instead of helping us.” 

UNHCR Kenya said as soon as they were informed of the attack, they contacted Kenya’s Refugee Affairs Secretariat, and sent an ambulance. UNHCR also contacted police, which had started investigations, the agency said. But Sebuuma said the police never helped them.

Lesbians, gays live in fear of attacks in Kenyan refugee camp

“I have been threatened with death, I have been beaten, I have been harassed sexually, and I have been sexually abused,” a lesbian refugee from Ugandan said.

UNHCR Kenya told Reuters that police investigate reports of violence, assault, or other crimes and UNHCR offers support to survivors.

“Whenever we are informed … we do our utmost to provide medical, legal and social-economic support and psychosocial counseling to survivors,” the agency said.

Kenya’s national police spokesman Charles Owino said he was unaware of any violence against the group of refugees.

A protest staged by embattled and exhausted LGBT+ refugees from a camp in Kakuma, Kenya ended in violence as police officers allegedly “teargassed, beat and brutally assaulted” demonstrators.

Queer refugees donned rainbow face masks for a peaceful protest outside the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees’ (UNHCR) office in the northwestern town.

The group – adults and children alike, many fleeing from neighbouring Uganda’s vicious anti-LGBT laws – have reported being under siege from assaults in recent months at the Kakuma refugee camp.

Demonstrators were calling on UNHCR organisers for increased camp security after months of being pelted with violence from Kakuma locals and fellow refugees.

Last year alone, queer Ugandans have been bludgeoned with machetes, had community centres mobbed only for LGBT+ staff to be arrested, a doctor crack the skull of a lesbian and a gay-friendly club raided leading to 127 LGBT+ people being arrested by army and police officers.

Embattled queer folk have fled to Kenya, but last year the country’s courts called to continue criminalising gay sex.

A group of homophobic people reportedly attacked a trans Ugandan refugee in broad daylight at a Kenyan camp, slicing his neck, punching him and then pulling on his genitals.

And since the UN has a systematic history of inviting the worst perpetrators of human right to preside and lead commissions and committees.

In over 40 countries, laws against homosexuality are a lasting legacy of British rule

India-LGBTQ-section-377

Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) was introduced by the British in 1861, inspired by the 1553 Buggery Act that outlawed homosexuality in England. It was reportedly imposed to protect soldiers and colonial administrators from “corruption” out of a fear that these men sent far from home (and their wives) would turn to homosexuality, according to British Colonialism and the Criminalization of Homosexuality, a book by Enze Han and Joseph O’Mahoney.

As the largest country in the Commonwealth, India’s landmark decision sends a message to other former British colonies that have stuck with draconian laws against homosexuality. Of the 70 countries around the world that criminalise homosexuality, at least 42 were once under some kind of British control. And their modern-day laws are often direct descendants of the 19th century British laws.

In Russia, a federal law makes it illegal to distribute “propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations” to children.

Critics say it’s so broad that it can be used to ban Pride parades and arrest people for even identifying as a member of the LGBTQ community on social media. 

Brazil, Ecuador, and the tiny Mediterranean island nation of Malta are the only three countries to ban so-called conversion therapy.

Only 5% of UN member states have provisions in their constitutions barring discrimination based on sexual orientation.

South Africa was the first country to include sexual orientation protections in its constitution, which it did in 1997.

Few countries outside of Europe and the Americas allow same-sex couples to adopt children.

LGBT activists in ‘disbelief’ after Botswana strikes down laws criminalising homosexuality

https://www.france24.com/en/20190611-botswana-lgbt-disbelief-high-court-strikes-down-laws-criminalising-homosexuality

Botswana’s High Court ruled on Tuesday to decriminalise same-sex relations, making it the latest African nation to do so.

“Human dignity is harmed when minority groups are marginalised,” Judge Michael Leburu told a packed courtroom in the capital Gaborone, adding that the ban was “discriminatory”.

Homophobia in Africa

Botswana is just the latest African nation to legalise same-sex relations. Earlier this year, Angola took similar measures, while Mozambique decriminalised gay sex in 2015. In South Africa, homosexuality has been legal since the end of Apartheid, in 1996.

LGBTQ+ Refugees in UNHRC Refugee Camp at Kakuma, Kenya.

We are interacting with a group of LGBT refugees who are currently in UNHCR Kakuma camp, Block 13. There are 180 people in Block 13, living in squalid conditions. Having fled from their homes in neighbouring countries because of homophobia and transphobia they are still living in fear, despite the reasonable assumption that they would be protected from further violence. They are being targeted as LGBT people by other refugees in the camp and by local people and suffer ongoing brutal attacks and arson in the camp under the watch of UNCHR Kenya.

“Constant fear” for gay refugees in Europe’s shelters

BERLIN — Alaa Ammar fled Syria to escape not just civil war but also the threat of persecution as a gay man. Yet when he arrived in The Netherlands last spring, he did not find the safe haven he craved.

The AP found out about scores of documented cases in The Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Sweden and Finland, with the abuse usually coming from fellow refugees and sometimes security staff and translators.

In Germany, the Lesbian and Gay Federation counted 106 cases of violence against homosexual and transgender refugees in the Berlin region from August through the end of January. Most of the cases came from refugee centers, and 13 included sexual abuse.

Last year, the federation placed 50 people in private homes because the migrant centers were too dangerous.

“These asylum shelters are law-free areas,” he said.

Smotrich: Shaffir ‘stupid’ for blaming religious right for anti-LGBT violence

Democratic Camp politician says rabbis, ministers and MKs are ‘igniting hatred’ that leads to assaults

“The knife that stabbed a 16-year-old boy this week is the same knife that stabbed Maya in 2018, the same knife that murdered Shira at the Gay Pride parade,” tweeted Shaffir, referring to an assault on trans woman Maya Hadad last year and to Shira Banki, a 16-year-old girl who was killed in 2015 during an attack on participants in the Jerusalem gay pride march.

“This hatred is kindled by rabbis, ministers and MKs,” she said. “[It is a] hatred that turns the proud community into citizens who cannot walk safely in Israel. No more.”

About Conversion Therapy

What is “conversion therapy?”

Conversion therapy refers to any of several dangerous and discredited practices aimed at changing an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

Does conversion therapy work?

No. Conversion therapy is based on the outdated and false notion that being LGBTQ is a mental illness that should be cured, despite all major medical associations’ agreement that LGBTQ identities are a normal variant of human nature. The American Psychiatric Association has not treated homosexuality as a mental illness since 1973, and being transgender is no longer treated as a mental illness since “gender identity disorder” was removed from psychological diagnostic manuals in 2013.

Is conversion therapy harmful?

Yes. The risks of conversion therapy extend far beyond its ineffectiveness, and the time and money wasted on “therapies” that don’t work. Conversion therapy is strongly associated with negative mental health outcomes and greater rates of attempting suicide.

According to The Trevor Project’s 2020 National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health, 10% of LGBTQ youth reported undergoing conversion therapy, with 78% reporting it occurred when they were under age 18. Youth who reported undergoing conversion therapy reported more than twice the rate of attempting suicide in the past year compared to those who did not.

  • Shame
  • Guilt
  • Helplessness
  • Hopelessness
  • Loss of faith
  • Decreased self-esteem
  • Increased self-hatred
  • Social withdrawal
  • Feeling dehumanized and untrue to self
  • Depression
  • Increased substance abuse
  • High-risk sexual behaviors
  • Suicidality

Conversion therapy as a form of family rejection

‘I still have flashbacks’: the ‘global epidemic’ of LGBT conversion therapy

It sounds like a historical horror, but ‘treatment’ for sexual orientation remains legal in most of the world, including the UK

Shurka ended up in conversion therapy for five years. He saw four therapists in four states at a cost of $35,000 (£27,000). He was instructed to use Viagra when having sex with women. He was told he was a “classic case” of someone with too many female role models and was instructed to avoid his mother and sisters.

It remains legal in the UK, where a nationwide survey published in July as part of the government’s LGBT action plan found that 2% of the 108,000 LGBT respondents had undergone conversion therapy and 5% had been offered it. In 2015, the charity Stonewall found that one in 10 health and social care staff had witnessed colleagues express the belief that sexual orientation can be “cured”A 2009 survey of more than 1,300 mental health professionals found that more than 200 had offered conversion therapy.

The conversion therapy lasted seven days, during which Alimi, then 17, was locked in a dark room and made to fast and pray around the clock. 

What form of conversion therapy did she experience? “Prayer ministry, healing ministry, deliverance ministry,” she says, referring to spiritual interventions sometimes termed “praying away the gay”.

It happens in the Muslim faith, Sikh faith … many black pentecostal communities will send their child back to Nigeria or Uganda, where ‘corrective rape’ therapy happens. 

“My experience of speaking to our members is that it has been prolific in the church in recent times,” she says. “In the 90s and 00s, every city in the UK would have a church doing it.

“But the majority who have experienced conversion therapy in the UK go through it on a Sunday morning in their regular church service.

C: I am happy that it stops, but 20 years for what did not appear to be grievous harm is nuts. God knows how much LGBT are persecuted. If we send in prison everyone who participated in it…singling out one perpetrator-and break on them hell loose- while everyone else are able every day to destroy lives doing the same thing but with more PC and under the banner of TLC or law and order. Does not feel very enlightened.

Despite widespread condemnation and scientific evidence that gay conversion therapy does not work, the cruel torture is only illegal in four countries across the world. Germany was the most recent country to ban the practice along with Brazil, Ecuador and Malta. LGBT rights were decreasing across the world even before the Coronavirus pandemic

“More worryingly, we have recently witnessed within the EU anti-LGBTI incidents such as attacks on prides, the adoption of ‘LGBTI ideology-free zone’ declarations, fines for LGBTI-friendly advertisements and others.

Bachelet is now calling on all member states, like the U.K., Hungary and Poland who are actively making moves to erode rights, not to use the coronavirus crisis as an excuse to undermine LGBT+ rights.

UN expert calls for global ban on practices of so-called “conversion therapy”

GENEVA (8 July 2020) – Practices known as “conversion therapy” inflict severe pain and suffering on lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and gender-diverse (LGBT) persons, often resulting in long-lasting psychological and physical damage, a UN expert told the Human Rights Council while calling for a global ban.

From some 130 submissions from States, civil society organisations, faith-based organisations, medical practitioners, and individuals who had been subjected to such practices, he heard conversion is attempted through beatings, rape, electrocution, forced medication, isolation and confinement, forced nudity, verbal offense and humiliation and other acts of physical, psychological, and sexual abuse.

“These interventions exclusively target LGBT persons with the specific aim of interfering in their personal integrity and autonomy because their sexual orientation or gender identity do not fall under what is perceived by certain persons as a desirable norm,” Madrigal-Borloz said. “They are inherently degrading and discriminatory and rooted in the belief that LGBT persons are somehow inferior, and that they must at any cost modify their orientation or identity to remedy that supposed inferiority.”

The expert said dismantling such biases and prejudices requires the concerted action of States, the medical community and civil society, including faith-based organisations, to ensure a worldwide ban on the practices.

End the persecution of LGBTI people in Chechnya

Chechen authorities deny that gay people exist but also incite homophobic violence by telling people to murder their own family members because of their sexual orientation.

Anti-LGBT Violence in Chechnya

When Filing “Official Complaints” Isn’t an Option

For several weeks now, a brutal campaign against LGBT people has been sweeping through Chechnya. Law enforcement and security agency officials under control of the ruthless head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, have rounded up dozens of men on suspicion of being gay, torturing and humiliating the victims. Some of the men have forcibly disappeared. Others were returned to their families barely alive from beatings. At least three men apparently have died since this brutal campaign began.

Kadyrov’s press secretary immediately described the report as “absolute lies and disinformation,” contending that there were no gay people in Chechnya and then adding cynically, “If there were such people in Chechnya, law-enforcement agencies wouldn’t need to have anything to do with them because their relatives would send them somewhere from which there is no returning.”

These days, very few people in Chechnya dare speak to human rights monitors or journalists even anonymously because the climate of fear is overwhelming and people have been largely intimidated into silence. Filing an official complaint against local security officials is extremely dangerous, as retaliation by local authorities is practically inevitable. https://www.hrw.org/news/2017/04/04/anti-lgbt-violence-chechnya

Queer History and the Holocaust

Same-sex sexuality in the prisoner society

The first studies of the Holocaust and concentration camps were written by survivors. These early works set up homophobic patterns that have proved durable.

Men with the pink triangle were almost always in the lowest ranks of the prisoner society and only very rarely gained positions of power

History of the persecution of queer men and women

Until the 1970s, historians failed to discuss the Nazi persecution of homosexuals.

If queer men have received only limited attention in histories of the Holocaust, research into histories of queer women in Nazi Germany is even more under-researched.

Significantly, Claudia Schopmann and Alexander Wäldner have shown that some women were indeed sentenced under §175.

Overall, for women as for men, persecution often took place intersectionally – that is, same-sex sexuality was rarely the only factor. The repressive climate against female conduct in general, and queer women in particular, also played a role.

This erasure of lesbian persecution is characteristic of German historiography (which represents almost all of the research on this topic). Research on lesbians has long not been recognized or seen as relevant for wider histories of Nazi Germany.

But the discomfort about and erasure of queer sexuality in studies of the Holocaust demonstrates that the history of this genocide has too often been written normatively, violently, and with prejudice.

How We’ve Suppressed the Queer History of the Holocaust

Even in the Nazi camps, homophobia ‘helped’ inmates distance themselves from those considered ‘other.’ Even today, Jewish gay and lesbian victims are still erased from how we talk about the Holocaust

https://www.haaretz.com/world-news/.premium-why-we-ve-suppressed-the-queer-history-of-the-holocaust-1.5823923

While we may believe that this homophobia was a natural outgrowth of 1930s society, the opposite was the case. Redlich was from the Czechoslovakian town of Olomouc. Similarly to Weimar Germany, Czechoslovakia had a vocal movement calling for the decriminalization of homosexuality, there was a gay subculture, with bars, journals, novels, and activists.

Scholars like Insa Eschebach have pointed out that homophobia among those who were themselves victims of the Holocaust was a specific product of the concentration camp society.

This homophobia was not a byproduct of the Nazis’ prejudice; the prisoners viewed same sex desire as a personification of all that was wrong in the violent world of the camps.

Following several years of escalating persecution under the Nazi regime, more than six million Jewish people were murdered during the Holocaust. 

Alongside Romany Gypsies and people with disabilities, members of the LGBT community were also targeted by the Nazis in their efforts to eradicate entire communities who they portrayed as a threat to the ‘German people’.  

Between 1933 and 1945, an estimated 100,000 men were arrested in Nazi Germany as ‘homosexuals’, of whom 50,000 were sentenced, and between 5,000 and 15,000 were sent to concentration camps. Lesbians, bi women and trans people, whose experiences remain under-researched, were also targeted. It is unclear how many LGBT people perished in these camps.  

As homosexuality was only decriminalised in Germany decades after the Second World War, many LGBT survivors could not publicly give voice to their stories and experiences.

International Holocaust Remembrance Day reminds us of the millions of Roma, Jewish, lesbians, gays, intersex and transgender people, persons with disabilities, political opponents, Jehovah witnesses and other victims of the Holocaust.

The United Nations chose 27 January because it was on 27 January 1945 that the Soviet Army liberated the prisoners of the Auschwitz concentration camp.

Every 27th of January, the world pays tribute to the memory of the victims of the Holocaust and reaffirms the unwavering commitment to counter antisemitism, antigypsyism, racism, and other forms of intolerance that may lead to group-targeted violence.

Non-Jewish victims of Nazi persecution and murder

Complexity and respect

Greater differentiation of Nazi victim groups is needed, not to create a

hierarchy of suffering, but to genuinely understand why and how individual

people came to be persecuted and killed. Each victim, whether Jew, Roma,

gay, disabled, Communist, trade-unionist, Pole or Soviet prisoner of war, is

surely entitled to the uniqueness of their own suffering and death. https://www.holocausteducation.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/1.-Non-JewishVictimsOfNaziPersecutionMurder-Digital.pdf

Non-Jewish victims of Nazi persecution and murder

The course of the development of Roma and Sinti persecution reveals a lot about the qualities of the Nazi regime. While initially there was no formal policy towards the Roma, ‘anti-Gypsy initiatives emerged from numerous agencies, above all the police and the SS but also the academic community’ (Connelly 2010: 275). For example, ‘Gypsies’ were not specified in the racial legislation of 1933-34 but the authorities nevertheless applied the laws in such a way that Roma and Sinti were sterilised without any legal basis

For example, ‘Gypsies’ were not specified in the racial legislation of 1933-34 but the authorities nevertheless applied the laws in such a way that Roma and Sinti were sterilised without any legal basis

While the Nazi regime never planned nor intended to kill every last person from this group wherever they could find them, the move to deport ‘Gypsies’ eastwards en masse in 1942 did not prevent thousands dying either in gas chambers, or in overcrowded ghettos nor did it stop many more being killed by Nazis and their collaborators throughout Eastern Europe. How many were killed remains a subject of debate: while ‘most estimates put the figure in the 190,000-250,000 range, there is a possibility that it could be as high as half a million’ (Levene 2013: 132).

The Persecution of the Roma Is Often Left Out of the Holocaust Story. Victims’ Families Are Fighting to Change That

Sándor, who died in 2000, was able to survive Nazi persecution because of his music, but hundreds of thousands of Roma were murdered during the Holocaust. Many more faced persecution, displacement, forced labor, forced medical experimentation and sterilization, violence and imprisonment.

Roma and Sinti people, often derogatorily referred to as “gypsies,” are members of an ethnic group with deep roots across Europe. 

While Sinti are of Western and Central Europe origin, Roma are those of Eastern and South Eastern Europe origin. 

It wasn’t until 1982 that Germany officially recognized the persecution against Roma as a genocide based on race. France apologized for its collaboration in Nazi crimes against Roma and Sinti in 2016.

Nazis murdered a quarter of Europe’s Roma, but history still overlooks this genocide

In the immediate postwar period, war crimes against Roma were not prosecuted. Survivors struggled to get recognition and compensation for the persecution they experienced. Roma victims were also not acknowledged in monuments commemorating the Nazis’ victims.

The genocide against the Roma is described by Professor Eve Rosenhaft, a historian of modern Germany, as “the forgotten Holocaust”.

As curator of The Wiener Holocaust Library’s current exhibition, Forgotten Victims: The Nazi Genocide of the Roma and Sinti, I aimed to explore this often over-looked history.

Some countries demand sterilisation or completed surgical procedures before allowing transpeople to change their gender status.

Controlling Bodies, Denying Identities

Human Rights Violations against Trans People in the Netherlands

https://www.hrw.org/report/2011/09/13/controlling-bodies-denying-identities/human-rights-violations-against-trans-people

Dutch law allows trans people to change their gender on official documents only on condition that they have altered their bodies through hormones and surgery, and that they are permanently and irreversibly infertile.

These requirements routinely leave trans people with identity documents that do not match their deeply felt gender identity, resulting in frequent public humiliation, vulnerability to discrimination, and great difficulty finding or holding a job.

https://www.hrw.org/report/2011/09/13/controlling-bodies-denying-identities/human-rights-violations-against-trans-people

C.et: the big problem that it is there is that we talk about the need to change on paper one’s gender to be permitted to dress and behave or do the activities more traditionally assigned to the opposite gender. This should not be the case at all. I contend that nowadays society will pressurise people wanting to simply dress with clothes fanatically assigned to the opposite sex, or even aspire to activities or even aspire to marry the same sex to have to get operated…to be…’reassigned’.

According to the law, transsexual people who wish to undergo surgery to alter their bodies can change their papers only after they have completed the lengthy medical trajectory. It takes years, not weeks or months, before people meet the conditions imposed by article 1:28.

For trans people who do not want surgery, and who will therefore never be able to change their gender markers under the current legislation, these obstacles last a lifetime.

FRAMING REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE IN THE CONTEXT OF INSTITUTIONALIZED TRANSPHOBIA GLOBALLY

Historically, the movement for reproductive rights and justice hasn’t been the most trans-inclusive space. Reproductive justice is, in essence, about the right to have a child, or to not have a child. For trans and gender diverse people, this goes beyond access to abortion and/or fertility treatments, to include the right to retain our fertility.

In countries where forced sterilization is a requirement to gain access to legal gender recognition, we are made to choose between incorrect identity documents that place our safety at risk, or coerced infertility. Where psycho-pathologizing diagnoses are a requirement to access legal gender recognition and/or medical transition, we are forced to conform to binary gender ‘norms’ that deny us the right to pursue, or express our desire for, genetic parenthood. This includes trans men/trans masculine people becoming pregnant, and trans women/trans feminine people impregnating another person.

Sexual and Reproductive Rights

Transgender People

Reproductive rights of transgender people

The reproductive rights of transgender people are first and foremost affected by compulsory sex reassignment surgery and/or sterilization. Civil Codes can require transgender people to take hormones and undergo surgery to alter their bodies and be permanently and irreversibly sterilized before they can have their gender legally recognized. These requirements violate transgender people’s rights to personal autonomy and physical integrity, and deny them the ability to define their own gender identity, Human Rights Watch stated.

https://www.gfmer.ch/srr/transgenderpeople.htm

3.3.2.1 Medicalisation

Surgery and sterilisation

Across the 28 EU and three EFTA states, there remains a requirement in a number of jurisdictions that, in

order to be formally acknowledged in their preferred gender, trans and intersex people must: (a) undergo

gender confirmation surgery; and (b) show evidence that they have undertaken a process of sterilisation

or are otherwise incapable of reproducing (see Table 2 below).

Surgical requirements reflect an (incorrect) assumption that physical interventions are an inherent part

of gender transition processes and that Europe’s trans people inevitably desire to change their bodies,

particularly their sex characteristics

As Table 2 illustrates, the European Union and EFTA jurisdictions which currently require surgical intervention include the Czech Republic and Estonia. In Romania, certain courts have interpreted Article 4(2), Point L of Government Ordinance No.41 of 31 January 2003 to specifically require surgical procedures. Countries which currently impose sterilisation include Finland and Slovakia.

In the past decade, however, there has been a clear shift in European attitudes towards the acceptability of physical intervention requirements. As detailed in Chapter 2, various United Nations and Council of Europe human rights actors, including the ECtHR, have pushed back against the legitimacy of involuntary surgery and sterilisation. Their criticisms are reflected in the increasing number of EU and EFTA legislatures which have positively removed physical intervention requirements from their national laws. Examples of jurisdictions which have taken such steps in the last decade include: Spain (2007); Portugal (2011); Netherlands (2013); Denmark (2014); Croatia (2014); Norway (2016); France (2016); Belgium (2017) and Luxembourg (2018). In Malta, Article 3(4) of the Gender Identity, Gender Expression and Sex Characteristics Act 2015 explicitly guarantees gender recognition rights without ‘proof of a surgical procedure for total or partial genital reassignment…’.

Sexual Assault and the LGBTQ Community

In contrast, there is ample evidence that societal prejudice causes significant medical, psychological and other harms to LGBTQ people. For example, research on the issue of family acceptance of LGBTQ youth conducted at San Francisco State University found that “compared with LGBTQ young people who were not rejected or were only a little rejected by their parents and caregivers because of their gay or transgender identity, highly rejected LGBTQ young people were:

  • In more than half the world, LGBT people may not be protected from discrimination by workplace law
  • LGBT people around the world are subject to physical and sexual violence by both state and non-state actors
  • They are discriminated against in education, health and social care and employment
  • Many LGBT people are rejected by family and from other forms of social assistance
  • Most governments deny trans people the right to legally change their name and gender from those that were assigned to them at birth. A quarter of the world’s population believes that trans people should not be granted full legal recognition of their gender identity

VULNERABLE PEOPLE IN CONFLICT: Most victims of sexual violence in conflict zones are children who are suffering rape and abuse at an appalling rate, say campaigners who describe the attacks as the “hidden horrors of war”.

  • My dissertation mentioned sting operations, I really took an interest and from what is publicised I came to the conclusion that most of it (a lot by vigilantes, who do whatever they can within their own means) is about hitting on lads who are desperate for a date, enter a dating forum and pretend to be teenagers. I know they have caught dangerous active pedophiles doing so, but for the most part, it is guys who did not target even young adults, who just are single and spend hours, days, weeks trying to date women, and end up chatting with someone pretending out of the blue they are underage. I am specifying that because instead of the police to be doing their job and tackle rings and hidden in plain sight brothels, and the rest of society trying to reorganise lives in order for people to earn money with dignity, in the respect of nature and human beings, nothing is done but the building-up of sordid stories lines for tabloids.

Big lacking element in this paper: children in social care are in most setting dramatically more likely to be trafficked or being the victim of sexual exploitation.

Exploitation certainly sounds like a mundane word, just forgetting that by it, men mean death and mutilation. The sense of utilisation being the most exotic and paraded with some impunity, immune impugned.

I try to have social media presence denouncing human rights abuses, one of my main topics being sexual crimes.

My MA dissertation was on sexual crimes against children.

I work also on a project denouncing religious beliefs enabling paedophile to be protected.

  • How difficult it is for victims to readapt to a normal live.

Adding to the difficulty is a society that were not here to help they way it should have. Induce trust issues.

Society may also tend to put aside people with different behaviours, ways of thinking, or simply the knowledge of how things as horrid as this is in fact perpetrated ‘so easily’. Their own experiences make it difficult to just live within the so called normal, integrated society.

Beyond Rotherham: scale of child sex exploitation revealed

As one support worker told me: “Rotherham is not the exception, it is more likely to be the norm.”

But what was different about Rotherham, was a number – 1,400. That is 1,400 childhoods stolen and families broken. It is hard to conceive in a town of around 250,000 people.

Victims and parents were ignored and at times, treated with contempt by the authorities. It rightly prompted questions about who knew what and why they did not act.

dissociation

What is dissociation?

Many people may experience dissociation (dissociate) during their life.

If you dissociate, you may feel disconnected from yourself and the world around you. For example, you may feel detached from your body or feel as though the world around you is unreal. Remember, everyone’s experience of dissociation is different.

Dissociation is one way the mind copes with too much stress, such as during a traumatic event.

Experiences of dissociation can last for a relatively short time (hours or days) or for much longer (weeks or months).

You might:

  • have gaps in your life where you can’t remember anything that happened
  • not be able to remember information about yourself or about things that happened in your life.

A doctor or psychiatrist might call these experiences dissociative amnesia.

For example, some people dissociate after experiencing traumatic events such as war, kidnapping or an invasive medical procedure.

Examples of trauma which may lead to a dissociative disorder include:

  • physical abuse
  • sexual abuse
  • severe neglect
  • emotional abuse.
  • abuse or neglect that begins at an early age (the younger you are, the harder you will find it to cope with traumatic experiences without dissociation)
  • abuse or neglect that is severe and repeated over a long period, or by many people
  • abuse or neglect that is painful and makes you scared
  • there is no adult who you have a good relationship with and is able to provide comfort and help you process and deal with the trauma
  • a child’s parents or caregivers dissociate themselves
  • abuse or neglect that is done by someone you feel attached to
  • the abuser tells you that things didn’t happen or that you were dreaming
  • things are different at different times – for example things seem normal during the day but at night you are abused.

You can read more about the causes of dissociative identity disorder on the PODS website.

https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/types-of-mental-health-problems/dissociation-and-dissociative-disorders/causes/

C: including sensory loss.

Other symptoms of sexual trafficking are endless, such traumas might trigger any mental sufferings.

Personality disorders, suicidal tendencies, psychosis, loss of identity and self-esteem, memory losses, paranoia, loss of communication faculties, selective muteness, panic attack, loss of rationality, panic attacks, self-harm, loss of sense of time and space, physical capability losses…

Like being a prisoner in a world that is about to kill you every time you breathe.

Very clearly perpetrators will manipulate victims and will abuses them relentlessly in order for the victims to lose their faculties. There is not good answer to give to a perpetrator whose aim is to keep their victims in the loop of trafficking. Denigrating anything someone do or is or feel. For example, talking simply or keep quiet, moving or not moving, or anything else that make the individual a person would be encountered by terrorising acts coming from the perpetrators, endless, relentless sexual, mental and physical attacks. The aim is to ‘kill’ the person mentally. I personally think it is more than control, because one cannot control someone else autonomy, their aims rather is to destroy their victims.

Study: Child Sex Trafficking Victims Not Who You Think They Are

AUSTIN (CBSDFW.COM) — A new study of child sex trafficking in Texas finds that victims are not adequately identified, enter and exit victimization multiple times, and are exploited most of their lives.

  • The lack of healthy, trusted relationships along with economic instability create ideal conditions for exploitation.
  • Youths who lack support when leaving an institutional system such as foster care or juvenile justice are more vulnerable to exploitation.
  • The rate of victimization was higher among cisgender girls and young women and LGBTQ participants of all genders.

Minor and youth commercial sex trafficking does not vary much by region. What differs among regions are the services available. Some have well-integrated levels of care that range from drop-in centers for homeless youths, to shelters and residential centers for identified victims.

Child trafficking case could be tip of the iceberg: CP

Health officials likely to conduct a search at the hospital

The detection of an alleged child trafficking case in the city involving a doctor and five others could just be the tip of the iceberg, says Commissioner of Police Rajeev Kumar Meena.

As of now the police have found six cases where newborn children were allegedly sold illegally. Two such recipients have been traced, and one couple has been arrested.

The doctor allegedly has a criminal history and the police suspect that she could be involved in more cases, including in the hospital branches at Bhubaneswar and Kolkata.

Poor women targeted

Her modus operandi was to target women from BPL segment, especially those who have unwanted pregnancy, said Mr. Meena.

Human Organs Trafficking Thrives Among Refugees in Turkey, ANA Says

(ANA) – Athens Macedonian News Agency’s Praktoreio magazine focuses on Thursday in human organs trafficking that thrives among refugees in Turkey.

“My name is Ahmed. I am From Syria and I live in Turkey. I would like to sell my kidney. Blood type A+…Telephone number O…”

“Μy name is Mohamed. I am selling my kidney in order to go to Europe. I live in the Province of Hatay in Turkey. Call me on my mobile 0…”

These are two out of the thousand posts in a closed group of the Facebook entitled “Online kidney sale” also written in Arabic that is updated on a daily basis from desperate people who came to the point to sell their organs.

The picture of the online kidney selling groups is frightening. All the nationalities from conflict zones are ready to sell a kidney.

The representative of the Syrian community in Greece spoke of a mysterious case of the disappearance of young children whose parents were drowned in their attempt to reach the island of Lesvos. The children were hosted in Moria hotspot and afterwards they vanished. Some linked the incident with organ trafficking but nothing was proved.

Male Genital Mutilation is a Joke on Talk Show

By https://childusa.org/child-marriage/

Perhaps the most concerning aspect of child marriage laws in the United States is that in 23, or approximately half, of the states, there is no minimum age for marriage with parental and judicial consent. This is known as not having a “floor” for marriage, or no bottom limit.

This means that if both parents and a judge sign off on the marriage, a child of any age can be married in that state. This lack of a “floor” for marriage puts children–most often young girls–at risk of sex abuse, because in many instances of child marriage, the parents are the ones who are forcing their child to marry.

  •  

    Worldwide, 12 million girls marry before age 18 every year. Say “child marriage” and the average American thinks of a developing country, where economic hardship forces parents to marry off their young daughter to a much older man. In sub-Saharan Africa, for example, 4 in 10 young women marry before age 18. In South Asia, 3 in 10 girls are wed before their 18th birthday. While there is some evidence that children (mostly girls) are more at risk of child marriage in rural and poorer settings, the fact is that child marriage affects all communities.

There is no federal law regarding child marriage. Every state sets its own requirements.

Child marriage is a harmful practice and a violation of child rights 

Parents may believe early marriage is in their daughter’s best interest, especially if she’s pregnant. But the vast majority of girls who marry before age 18 are harmed for life. They’re separated from their families and friends, and 50 percent more likely to drop out of school. Early marriage doubles a teenager’s chances of living in poverty and triples the likelihood she’ll be beaten by her spouse, compared to married adults.

Marrying before age 18 traps girls in a cycle of poverty

That’s why UNICEF believes marriage under age 18 must be prohibited under all circumstances.

According to a Kansas City Star series of child marriage in the U.S., Missouri has the most lenient law in the nation allowing 15-year-olds to wed. Only one parent’s signature is required.

More than 1,000 15-year-olds have been married in Missouri since 1999. Even children ages 14, 13 and 12 can marry in Missouri — it’s one of 25 states with no minimum age requirement. For those 14 and younger, a judge’s consent is required. Missouri is a destination wedding spot for 15-year-old child brides

C: Not true u do not need the dark net, underage photos are all over some pornography sites found on any search engines. The police simply do not do anything.

C: one of the strongest reasons that abused children are more vulnerable to sexual trafficking, is that they will logically search for the reproduction, for similar adults to their parents. So if they have been abused by their parents, the closest individuals to them, they will find that their abusers’ deeds are ‘normal’. Parental even?

(Reuters) – U.S. legislation aimed at stopping online child sexual abuse material is likely to be amended to address concerns of platforms like Google and Facebook that the proposed law goes too far to weaken privacy protections for ordinary users, according to a draft of the bill seen by Reuters.

Wrong arm of the law: Homeland Security agents should protect, not abuse

However, almost two years later, those charges were dropped because officers were not allowed to testify in court, and investigative journalists discovered why. 

HSI undercover officers were given approval by their supervisors to pay for sex acts from the human trafficking victims during this investigation.

Make no mistake, that is federally sanctioned sexual assault. 

If you are curious if that egregious abuse facilitated the conviction of human traffickers, it didn’t. 

If you are curious if the victims are now safe, you will remain that way, because we don’t really know. Those victims cannot be located. Those victims were very likely retraumatized by this unconscionable investigation. 

In the anti-human trafficking movement, survivors have often decried the practices of law enforcement, and rightfully so. 

When the people who are designated to protect take the most marginalized people in our community and threaten and abuse them, we are left questioning where the justice really is in our justice system. 

When many survivors talk about law enforcement, they tell stories of being forced to have sex with officers to avoid arrest.

Most people don’t know about our nation’s foster care to sex trafficking pipeline, but the facts are sobering. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) found that “of the more than 18,500 endangered runaways reported to NCMEC in 2016, one in six were likely victims of child sex trafficking. Of those, 86 percent were in the care of social services when they went missing.”

Child welfare systems can, but often do not, prevent that reality for children. Pimps rely on that.

Children are learning all the time, and in abusive foster or group homes they learn that their worth as humans is not intrinsic. Their worth is what the abusive caregiver gets from them, whether simply a paycheck from the state or their bodies for sex, as happened to some of my clients.

This conditions them to be subservient to pimps—giving all they have in exchange for essential needs, like food and shelter.

As one of my clients put it, after extensive physical and sexual abuse in state care, the day she turned 18 and left the system with no community support, job or money, she saw herself in one way: “There was a gold mine between my legs.”

Diplomats from Greece have been blasted as “traitors” by the country’s former foreign minister, after he shockingly repeated allegations that visas were issued “to unaccompanied children to illegally traffic their organs”.

Nikos Kotzias, who resigned last month in a row over Macedonia’s name, damningly said last week – and for the second time – that some 93 cases had been sent for prosecution, with a string of “highly respected ambassadors” already behind bars.

It is feared thousands of unaccompanied minors roaming Greece are at risk of sexual exploitation or trafficking. There are 3,050 unaccompanied child migrants in Greece, of whom 1,272 (42 percent) are either homeless, live in a temporary or an unidentified location, local news site Kathimerini reports. https://www.rt.com/news/445278-greece-diplomats-child-trafficking/

C: this report is intriguing, as it can be found on an apparently serious academic site, and on RT, which is very big and very Russian, and on the news site Kathimerini, a big newspaper in Greece. I tend to believe it is not fake news but thereby wonder how it can possibly be the case that this string of imprisonments of politicians has not been reported by anybody else from the mass media.

In any case we know that refugees are at incredible risk of being trafficked for their organs.

A propos survivors there is another ethical problem is that retelling one’ s story might bring the traumas to the fore. Retraumising the victims depending on how the retelling will happen.

by COLIN FERNANDEZ

Last updated at 23:13 24 October 2006

Tesco has been forced to remove a pole-dancing kit from the toys and games section of its website after it was accused of “destroying children’s innocence”.

The Tesco Direct site advertises the kit with the words, “Unleash the sex kitten inside…simply extend the Peekaboo pole inside the tube, slip on the sexy tunes and away you go!

“Soon you’ll be flaunting it to the world and earning a fortune in Peekaboo Dance Dollars”.

The £49.97 kit comprises a chrome pole extendible to 8ft 6ins, a ‘sexy dance garter’ and a DVD demonstrating suggestive dance moves.

Possible sexualisation of children comment:

C:

if the intent is to sexualise the situation, then i don’t think he tries to justify it. i think he could show you he can say he is a pedo and make you watch for your back for the day he will strike. or maybe it is an innocent comment. you know we also may say so stupid and without knowing dangerous things. there are people who still do not know these dangers. maybe also because there should not exist, underlining our lives or the interpretation of speeches or texts. i hope he is innocent in his comment. the context of people predating on human beings…

dark poverty and human rights abuses sometimes make any word sound like they could be abusive. in any case there are psychological torture technics used by abusers when they worsen their torture at the exact moment they address their victims ‘positively’, with what would be literally be construed as positive opinions, words, comments. I hope this guy is not a pedo, i think he apologised.

Dawson continues by saying: “People have foot fetishes, people have fetishes about everything…so why is it when someone Googles naked babies and jerks off to it, they can get arrested?”

Love Island: Eight-year-old Llandeilo children ’emulate contestants’

A primary school headmaster has sent a letter to parents complaining pupils as young as eight were emulating behaviour seen on TV show Love Island.

Aled Rees said Year 4 pupils at Ysgol Gymraeg Teilo Sant had been commenting on each other’s appearance and “pairing individuals together”.

He told parents the show’s contestants were “no role models for our children”.

ITV said the show aired after the 21:00 watershed and was not aimed at primary school children.

Love Island is a popular reality dating show set in a Spanish villa where contestants are encouraged to “pair up” with each other in order to win a cash prize.

Children who watch pornography at a young age are more likely to have sex earlier and adopt ‘unhealthy sexual habits’ later in life

  • Researchers surveyed adults aged 18-25 about their porn and sex habits
  • They found that those who watched porn younger started having sex younger
  • The average age to start watching porn was 12, with sexual activity starting at 13
  • Researchers hope their findings will encourage authorities to provide better sexual education to children at a younger age

By Shivali

Ms Walker said: ‘The rates of sexually transmitted infections in the UK continue to rise, and this research shows that the standard of sex education is not currently sufficient to prevent risky sexual activity.

‘With the 15-24 age group accounting for over half of the reported sexually transmitted infections reported in the UK, it is crucial that this education takes place at a younger age, particularly when our findings on the age of sexual initiation are taken into account.

‘Without appropriate sex education at an age when exposure to sexual material begins to occur, children are at risk of turning to unreliable sources, such as sexually explicit material, and are at risk of adopting unhealthy sexual habits in the future.’

This suggests that the age of exposure has a more significant effect on sexual behaviour than the quantity that is viewed.

‘Sexually risky behaviour was defined as behaviour that puts people at high risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection.

‘For this research, these behaviours referred to a lack of contraceptive use and having multiple sexual partners.’

Know the Language of Human Trafficking: A Glossary of Sex Trafficking Terms

Sometimes these women are recruited by other female inmates who are paid by outside pimps.

“These recruiters coerce female inmates into working for the traffickers,” says Meekins. “When they walk out to what they think is freedom, the traffickers are right there to pick them up to lead them into the worst kind of slavery.”

In other cases, female inmates are directly contacted by sex traffickers through websites like paperdollpenpals.com and jailbabes.com, which provides inmates’ mailing address.

Choosing Up: The process by which a different pimp takes “ownership” of a victim. Victims are instructed to keep their eyes on the ground at all times. According to traditional pimping rules, when a victim makes eye contact with another pimp (accidentally or on purpose), she is choosing him to be her pimp. If the original pimp wants the victim back, he must pay a fee to the new pimp. When this occurs, he will force the victim to work harder to replace the money lost in the transaction. (See Reckless Eyeballing)

Circuit: A series of cities among which prostituted people are moved.

Facilitators: It is important to realize that human trafficking operations often intersect or exist alongside legitimate businesses.

  • Hotels and Motels
  • Landlords
  • Labor brokers
  • Taxi and other driving services
  • Airlines, bus, and rail companies
  • Advertisers (Websites like Craigslist.com and Backpage.com; Phone books; Alternative newspapers)
  • Banks and other financial services companies
  • Inmate pen-pal services

Human Trafficking Awareness: What Parents and Guardians Need to Know

Some traffickers specifically target vulnerable children, such as those who have a caregiver with a substance use problem, have a drug or alcohol problem themselves, or who are facing poverty. Kids who identify as LGBTQ+ are more likely to be targeted by traffickers, too, especially if they don’t have a supportive community. In fact, a startling 58.7% of homeless LGBT youth have been sexually victimized, and 1 in 3 teen runaways is recruited by a sex trafficker within just 48 hours of leaving home.

How to Talk About Human Trafficking

Have candid, age-appropriate discussions with your child about what human trafficking is.

WHO WOULD LIKE CHINA AND RUSSIA TO BECOME THEIR BIG BROTHE’S

WHAT YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE UNDERSTOOD ABOUT CHINA CENSORSHIP, IS THAT IT IS NOT INNER TO THE COUNTRY BUT BAN CHINESE FROM SAYING WHAT THEY THINK BUT NOT ONLY. THE IT GREAT WALL OF CHINA BANS THOUSANDS OF FOREIGN WEBSITES (AS HUGE AS GOOGLE, WIKIPEDIA, TWEETER, THE NEW-YORK TIME AND YOUTUBE, ALL BLOGS, AND ALL VIDEOS- AS IN VIDEO YOU CANNOT FISH FOR PARTICULAR LEXIC AND LINGUISTICS YOU WANT TO SEE DISAPPEAR).

THE NOVELTY IS THAT NOW YOU COULD GO TO PRISON TO TRY TO CIRCUMVENT THE CENSORS IN ORDER TO ACCES WHAT EUROPEANS OR AMERICANS CAN VIEW AND READ.

In fact, I have lived and worked in China, all Google and therefore Youtube are out of reach, and all videos as Chinese cannot cipher foreign videos for censoring them as content cannot be censored via automatic digital censoring websites using certain words (all foreign blogs are banned in China). I am very worried as people could, when I first came there, found free VPN online, enabling them to register their computer IP in another country and therefore circumvent censorship. Six months upon my arrival, you still could use a VPN but for money, the same amount of money you need to have an unlimited internet connexion (huge amount for a working class Chinese citizens). Personally, I decided not to take one, and ended up working hours; wasted as I could not access sites still listed in search engines, even ‘English teaching site’, TFL sites, educational sites, etc…

Even more worrying now the Chinese governments officially said that they can punish the use of VPN (only way to access foreign blogs, youtube, all videos, etc !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!–) with computers ‘use bans on individual charge with browsing forbidden foreign internet material or by imprisoning them.

C.ET: AS A FURTHER NOTE: these past few weeks the news could not dry on how Shi, the Chinese president became the one figure of the party, comparing him to Marx and Mao.

But 2 years ago, Shi became at the same time as president, chief of the army, while treating their neighbors of land grabs- not talking of the Tibet that the English has given to them when they leave the colonial.

If today, Brexit might make a point of being royal, China gets along in clothes imperial.

And now with America, that elected the ones that said ‘America first’ perhaps wanting war or cooperation, go on with how American have been socially neglected, just maybe to appeal for some sort of economic or else conflict, thinking of how WW1 and WW2, permitted it to reach the top through being a creditor not a loaner like nowadays.

Mayo is the vote in Chinese that means null- the opposition dictatorship will have in their midst.

C.ET:

In china thousands of sites cannot be accessed. However, for years people had been able to download VPN (for free or after more assaults only by paying) that allowed them to access sites with the help of VPN- even if you are in china, your computer can browse as if it was in another country (a country without undemocratic, abusive censorship).

THAT WAS BAD, BUT NOW IF YOU ARE CAUGHT USING A VPN? IT HAS BEEN MADE ILLEGAL.

AMAZINGLY ENOUGH, I heard on the BBC radio how your searches recorded by the party and the state at large will influence how Chinese will have access to jobs, and even to services- as banks, phone and internet companies, etc, are nationalized. What is doubly amazing is that I cannot find for the moment discussions about it on the web. It might be a very recent unlocked news… see you later.

PS: SO CHINESE,                  TO NOTE, the interests that people have in freedom of expression is similar in the west. You may not censor a whole site but people will censor actors, agents there. For a beginning.

PS2: the only reason I am aware of that, is thanks to my having worked there. I listened to the news all the time, I would never have understood the seriousness of the situation through that, guess it proves I am a slow one.

Effects of child trafficking

Trafficking can have both short and long term effects and the impact can last a lifetime.

Children and young people who’ve been trafficked might:

  • not understand what’s happened to them is abuse – especially if they’ve been groomed
  • believe they’re in a relationship with their abuser and unaware they’re being exploited
  • think they played a part in their abuse or have broken the law
  • feel very guilty or ashamed about the abuse they’ve suffered.

Children are often too scared to speak out. They might be frightened of:

  • what’ll happen to themselves, their friends and their family
  • all adults and authorities
  • being prosecuted for a crime
  • being returned to their home country where their situation may be even worse
  • Juju or witchcraft rituals performed during their experiences
  • judgement from their community and families.

C.ET: stigmatization.

They may also feel very guilty or ashamed about the abuse they’ve suffered.

It’s estimated that internationally there are between 20 million and 40 million people in modern slavery today. Assessing the full scope of human trafficking is difficult because so cases so often go undetected, something the United Nations refers to as “the hidden figure of crime.”[2]

C.ET: definition disagreement, hidden figures, very difficult to gauge.

Estimates suggest that, internationally, only about .04% survivors of human trafficking cases are identified, meaning that the vast majority of cases of human trafficking go undetected. [3]

Human trafficking earns global profits of roughly $150 billion a year for traffickers, $99 billion of which comes from commercial sexual exploitation.[4]

List of Countries by GDP (Nominal)

 United States remains the largest economy of the world with GDP (Nominal) over $20 trillion in 2019. It represents a quarter share of the global economy (24.8%). China follows, with $14 trillion, or 16.3% of the world economy. Tuvalu has the world’s smallest national economy with a GDP (nominal) of approximately $42 million.

Globally, an estimated 71% of enslaved people are women and girls, while men and boys account for 29%.[5]

Estimates suggest that about 50,000 people are trafficked into the US each year, most often from Mexico and the Philippines. [6]

In 2018, over half (51.6%) of the criminal human trafficking cases active in the US were sex trafficking cases involving only children.[7]

Advocates report a growing trend of traffickers using online social media platforms to recruit and advertise targets of human trafficking.[9]

The average age a teen enters the sex trade in the US is 12 to 14 years old. Many victims are runaway girls who were sexually abused as children.[10]

C.ET: what I meant is that even if they have the victims in front of them, or have information about the victims, they won’t record it, they won’t specify what age, they won’t specify what abuses. even after interviewing people. this data should be recorded but ‘has been lost’. a recurrent situation in social sciences research.

For example, when they interview a victim, they won’t bother record their ages, their conditions…. or they will record it but when the data is agglomerated within bigger or other surveys, the ones you get at the end, these data have been lost!!

Human Trafficking is an underground crime, so it’s difficult to measure, and more research is desperately needed. But we know the problem is real. We know the problem is big. And behind every estimate is a real person who cannot be dismissed.

In 2017, the International Labour Organisation expanded their reporting on trafficking & exploitation (what they call modern-slavery) to include forced marriage. Under that definition, 40.3 million are estimated to be victims at any given moment.

Under US federal law, all children involved in commercial sex are victims of human trafficking. Sadly, only about half of US states have laws that protect sexually exploited children from being prosecuted for prostitution. 

AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT, AN ESTIMATED 40.3 MILLION PEOPLE ARE BEING VICTIMIZED IN SITUATIONS OF TRAFFICKING AND EXPLOITATION WORLDWIDE. 25% OF THESE ARE CHILDREN. (ILO) the International Labour Organisation.

6. IN THE UNITED STATES, CHILDREN OF COLOR ARE ABOUT 4X MORE LIKELY TO BE TRAFFICKED THAN WHITE CHILDREN.

C.ET: LGBT people are also particularly targeted.

TRAFFICKERS CAN LOOK LIKE ANYONE AND DON’T FIT ONE STEREOTYPE.

Love146 has connected with situations of trafficking in which exploiters have been family members, peers, romantic partners, educators, employers, community leaders, and clergy – of all ages, ethnicities & genders.

In reality, few trafficked children are swept off the street and thrown into white vans. Instead, they’re pulled into a life by traffickers that they may not have words for. Sometimes they continue going to school, living at home, and participating in extracurricular activities – even while they are being trafficked.

CHILD TRAFFICKING IS NOT A NEW PHENOMENON, BUT CARING ABOUT IT IS.

Human Trafficking has been happening forever, but only in the year 2000 was it recognised as a crime by the US Government & the United Nations. 

Child human trafficking victims: Challenges for the child welfare system

Rowena Fong *, Jodi Berger Cardoso

– most of the research and resources for trafficking victims have been directed towards

adults rather than children (Fong, 2010).

– Researchers agree that there is a growing number of sexually exploited and trafficked children in the United States (Boxill & Richardson, 2007; Estes & Weiner, 2002; Spangenberg, 2001).

– yet few programs emphasize the unique experiences and special needs of this population (Fong, 2010).

– Many of the domestic victims of sexual exploitation are vulnerable youth on the street or from the foster care system(Fong, 2010).

– approximately 25% (224) of prostitution cases occurred while the child was living at home, 59% (532) of the children participated in local sex rings run by pimps and 16% (145) engaged in national sex prostitution rings (Estes & Weiner, 2002). Estes and Weiner (2002).

– Children who live close to international borders (Fong, 2010).

Many juvenile victims of sexual exploitation are funneled

through the juvenile justice system. They are often arrested on

charges of prostitution or illegal work (Fong, 2010). 

  Previous research consistently

demonstrates the negative impact of child sexual abuse on

child and adult mental health outcomes. In a recent study of such

abuse victims, Spatato, Mullen, Burgess, Wells, & Moss (2004)

found increased incidences of acute anxiety and stress disorders,

affective disorders, conduct disorders and personality disorders.

Other mental health problems may include acute post-traumatic

stress symptoms, low self-esteem, suicidality, poor academic

achievement, substance abuse, disassociation and poor interpersonal

relationship quality (Cohen & Mannarino, 2008; Corcoran &

Pillai, 2008).

– Domestic and international victims of human trafficking are

typically not eligible for services until they have been officially

classified as victims of trafficking. This has often been a hardship

for governmental and non-governmental agencies, who do receive

funding for services until this classification status is achieved. Once

sexually exploited youth have been identified, there are few secure

shelters and treatment programs that can aid in rehabilitation and

reintegration. Moreover, many shelters and treatment programs

do not provide services specific to sexually exploited youth (Fong, 2010).

– Human trafficking victims often

have extra needs for anonymity in group therapy and fear that

family members may be harmed because traffickers use death

threats to enforce compliance (Fong, 2010).

– Many models aim to accomplish at least one of four goals:

symptom reduction, destigmatization, increasing self-esteem and

self-concept and prevention of future abuse (Lev-Wiesel, 2008).

A plethora of barriers in child welfare and other public systems

impede the identification of children who have been sexually

abused. To tackle victim identification, public child welfare

workers and social service providers need to work closely with

juvenile detention facilities, court system, emergency shelters, and

school social workers (Boxill & Richardson, 2005). Until recently,

these entities were completely unaware that U.S. children were

being exploited for commercial sex. While awareness of the issue is

still lacking, successful programs in New York and Atlanta have

helped draw national attention (Fong, 2010).

C.ET: said to be unaware, but in fact unprepared and uncooperative, or not disclosing or tackling.

Few treatment and social service programs are equipped to

address the complex needs of children who may have experienced

torture, rape, drug abuse, trafficking and physical abuse. In

addition, many of these young women and men must grapple (Fong, 2010).

316 R. Fong, J. Berger Cardoso / Evaluation and Program Planning 33 (2010) 311–316

The impact;

  • Human trafficking has surpassed the illegal sale of armsthumb No More
  • Trafficking will surpass the illegal sale of drugs in the next few years
  • Drugs are used once and they are gone. Victims of child trafficking can be used and abused over and over
  • A $32 billion-a-year industry, human trafficking is on the rise and is in all 50 states (U.S. Government)
  • 4.5 Million of trafficked persons are sexually exploited
  • Up to 300,000 Americans under 18 are lured into the commercial sex trade every year

Joe, I found the figure of 1.2 million you talked about. They may have kept the number because it is a good poster, or it is a poster that is old. Under this poster with the figure of 1.2 million they talk about new figures and nowhere 1.2 million is corresponding to anything- I wonder whether 1.2 million could be about how many more children have been abused each year. And therefore it is a figure that is added to the already existent one.

The most agreed on estimates are 10 million children worldwide.

Keep in view things are changing, and in fact they are worsening. -or are they better spotted, better identified, denounced??…whatever the reasons. figures of identified cases are growing.

CHILD TRAFFICKING IS NOT A NEW PHENOMENON, BUT CARING ABOUT IT IS.

Human Trafficking has been happening forever, but only in the year 2000 was it recognised as a crime by the US Government & the United Nations.

A heavy toll for the victims of human trafficking

By Adriana Hauser and Mariano Castillo, CNN

Their descent into prostitution followed different paths but ended up in the same nightmare: abuse, drugs and fear.

For years, the girls who sell their bodies on certain Miami streetcorners and in hotels were treated as criminals. But new state laws have instructed police and judges to look at the wider context and consider them victims of sex exploitation.

South Florida is the third-busiest area for sex trafficking in the United States, the Department of Justice says, and oftentimes it is children who are drawn into the web without even realizing it.

Once girls enter the sex industry, their average life expectancy is seven years, with homicide and AIDS being the top killers, Rodriguez said.

A friend invited her to a hotel when she was 18.

“She knew what was going to happen, but I didn’t,” Samantha said. “I didn’t realize it until later.”

April has two children, ages 2 and 4, and works as a prostitute to pay for their needs and for her education, she said.

Initially, it was a boyfriend who get her involved in prostitution.

She was working as a stripper, she said, when she met the guy, who promised her clients and money. 

“I want to stop,” she said.

When?

“If I can find a job.”

https://edition.cnn.com/2013/08/25/us/miami-sex-trafficking/index.html

Children are 4 times more likely to be trafficked for labor rather than sex

Children who are trafficked for labor purposes might be removed from their families and forced to perform domestic household services, or work in factories or agriculture.

Though millions of children are trafficked, there is a much larger number of children involved in child labor that is not considered trafficking.

There are an estimated 168 million child laborers around the world, with around half of them participating in what is known as “hazardous work” – work that endangers the child’s physical, emotional, or social well-being.

55% of victims are women and girls

Child labor makes it difficult for children to succeed in school (if they attend at all). Lack of education ultimately limits a child’s lifetime earning potential and keeps them in poverty, thus perpetuating the cycle for their own children.

98% of victims trafficked for sexual exploitation are women and girls.

Trafficker Tricks

India is heavily involved in sex trafficking as a source, destination, and transit country, despite legislation and increased efforts to combat trafficking. Often, traffickers will come to a village claiming to be recruiting employees for a large business or corporation.

They promise job training, excellent salaries, and the ability to move into higher positions over time. The young women they lure – generally with their parents’ consent or coercion – leave the village with these traffickers and find that once they are in a big city they are sold to a brothel, or otherwise forced to engage in commercial sex work.

If they resist, they risk being beaten, raped, or killed. Alone and in an unfamiliar place, there is nothing they can do.

The marriage dowry trick

Or a young man will visit a village saying he is looking for a wife and that he is willing to accept a girl without a marriage dowry. The thought of getting a daughter married without having to pay the typically exorbitant dowry is too tempting for impoverished families.

The girl is given to the man thinking she will be married and taken care of, but instead she is whisked away and forced into the sex trade.

13 sex trafficking statistics that explain the enormity of the global sex trade

Cara Kelly USA TODAY

Sex trafficking is a massive, worldwide problem that can take many forms. 

One of the most prolific: America’s multibillion-dollar illicit massage industry. 

The prominence of illegal parlors and their ties to sex trafficking 

the problem is growing, to as many as 9,000 illicit spas in the U.S. alone.

Here are 13 statistics that help explain the scope of the problem. 

1. There are more than 4 million victims of sex trafficking globally

2. 99% are women and girls

7 in 10 victims were exploited in Asia and the Pacific region

According to the International Labour Organization report, more than 70% of sex trafficking victims were located in Asia and the Pacific, compared with 14% in Europe and Central Asia and 4% in the Americas. 

In illicit massage parlors in the U.S., the vast majority of reported trafficking victims are from China, with a notable number from the Fujian province in southeastern China. South Korea forms the second highest group.  

1 in 7 reported runways in the U.S. in 2018 is likely a victim of child sex trafficking

Profits from forced sexual labor are estimated at $99 billion worldwide

Profits are highest per sex trafficking victim in developed economies

Events like the Super Bowl increasingly are monitored for sex trafficking

Efforts to combat trafficking around major events have increased in recent years, most notably around the Super Bowl. 

“It’s not necessarily about football or the NFL,” Courtney Dow, an outreach coordinator for the Atlanta-based nonprofit Dream Center, told USA TODAY before Super Bowl LIII in January. “When groups of men get together, usually trafficking and exploitation increases.”

Prosecutions of sex trafficking are down in the U.S.

The State Department’s 2019 Trafficking in Persons Report found the Department of Justice opened significantly fewer human trafficking investigations in 2018 compared to 2017, dropping from 783 to 657. It also reported significantly fewer prosecutions: 230, down from 282. 

That holds true for cases specifically focused on sex trafficking. Of the prosecutions, 213 were for sex trafficking, down from 266 in 2017.

Victims are still arrested for crimes they were forced to commit by traffickers

The State Department’s report found that at the state and local level, victims are still being arrested for crimes they’re compelled to commit such as commercial sex work, including child victims. 

This comes despite a push for “safe harbor” laws, passed in at least 34 states, which are meant to stop child sex trafficking victims from being prosecuted for prostitution and other charges related to commercial sex.

Hubbard also says that the problem of young boys without fathers might be resolved by having men have sex with those boys.

In his writing, this bozo argues that Ancient Greece showed us that “where age discrepant relationships are commonplace and positively reinforced, they cause little or no long-term harm to the younger partner and often confer great benefit,” he writes.

This was contained in a 22-page article Hubbard wrote for a journal called Thymos, entitled “Sexual Consent and the Adolescent Male, or What Can We Learn From the Greeks.”

Hubbard justifies his sickening position by saying that America “should consider moving in the direction of what most European states do, which is to maintain an age of consent of 14 or 15 with special protections against prostitution of those under 18 or involvement with an adult who is in a position of trust (family  members, teachers, therapists, clergy), he said.

Wow…boundaries. Shocking actually.

There are activists on the UT campus who have been trying to get Hubbard ousted from the university. A student group known as “Fire the Abusers” says that Hubbard is “guilty” of publishing works arguing that “statutory rape and age of consent laws are burdens.”

Enter the sick group North American Man/Boy Love Association, or NAMBLA, a pro-pedophilia and pro-pederasty organization. Yes, such an organization exists. And to think the NRA receives so much hate.

Richard Gardner, a clinical professor of child psychiatry was once quoted as saying, “Society’s excessively moralistic and punitive reactions toward pedophiles…go far beyond what I consider to be the gravity of the crime.” He says that pedophilia serves “procreative purposes.”

French Pedophile Accused Of Molesting 300 Kids Could Be Executed By Firing Squad

A French man who was traveling in Indonesia on a tourist visa was arrested by police in the capital city of Jakarta, after he was found sexually assaulting two young girls in a hotel room. The suspect, 65-year-old Francois Abello Camille, was accused of molesting and beating over 300 children, after video evidence was found in possession during the arrest.

In the raid of the hotel room, police found Camille’s laptop computer, which contained hundreds of videos showing him sexually assaulting young children.

QAnon Followers Are Hijacking the #SaveTheChildren Movement

Fans of the pro-Trump conspiracy theory are clogging anti-trafficking hotlines, infiltrating Facebook groups and raising false fears about child exploitation.

 QAnon, the sprawling pro-Trump conspiracy theory. 

These people were also disturbed about human trafficking, but with a dark twist: Many of them believed that President Trump was on the verge of exposing “Pizzagate” or “Pedogate,” their terms for a global conspiracy involving a ring of Satan-worshiping, child-molesting criminals led by prominent Democrats.

My acquaintance is not a QAnon believer. And she certainly doesn’t think, as some QAnon adherents do, that Hillary Clinton and her cronies are kidnapping and eating children (yes, eating them) in order to harvest a life-extending chemical from their blood.

The idea, in a nutshell, is to create a groundswell of concern by flooding social media with posts about human trafficking, joining parenting Facebook groups and glomming on to hashtag campaigns like #SaveTheChildren, which began as a legitimate fund-raising campaign for the Save the Children charity. 

The QAnon strategy of pushing some unobjectionable, often factual content about human trafficking in addition to wild conspiracy theories has blurred the lines between legitimate anti-trafficking activism and partisan conspiracy mongering.

the Polaris Project, a nonprofit organization that runs the National Human Trafficking Hotline, issued a news release saying its hotline had been overwhelmed with false reports. 

It later published a blog post warning that “unsubstantiated claims and accusations about child sex trafficking can spin out of control and mislead well-meaning people into doing more harm than good.”

C.ET: this so late onset to start legislation that tried to apply their principles maybe due to the mafia, maybe due to the colonialist attitude of the people in power (understand in that, everyone that may hold and abuse power at every scale and level of the society), but it might also come from what people often misappropriately called family values, i.e. whatever happens within close doors will stay within these doors. Children, individuals, belonged to the church (or to any other religious apparatus- in islam, hinduism, other religions and sects), to the family……child could be even when states were concerned be disposed of the way patriarchy (or matriarchy) found it suitable.

WHO WOULD LIKE CHINA AND RUSSIA TO BECOME THEIR BIG BROTHE’S

China just going from undemocratic to dictatorial in on move or two.

and WHAT YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE UNDERSTOOD ABOUT CHINA CENSORSHIP, half of  the western content have been blocked from viewing, and note, now if you are caught (surfing google or many others, including all videos), it can mean prison.

 

WHAT YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE UNDERSTOOD ABOUT CHINA CENSORSHIP, IS THAT IT IS NOT INNER TO THE COUNTRY BUT BAN CHINESE FROM SAYING WHAT THEY THINK BUT NOT ONLY. THE IT GREAT WALL OF CHINA BANS THOUSANDS OF FOREIGN WEBSITES (AS HUGE AS GOOGLE, WIKIPEDIA, TWEETER, THE NEW-YORK TIME AND YOUTUBE, ALL BLOGS, AND ALL VIDEOS- AS IN VIDEO YOU CANNOT FISH FOR PARTICULAR LEXIC AND LINGUISTICS YOU WANT TO SEE DISAPPEAR).

 

THE NOVELTY IS THAT NOW YOU COULD GO TO PRISON TO TRY TO CIRCUMVENT THE CENSORS IN ORDER TO ACCES WHAT EUROPEANS OR AMERICANS CAN VIEW AND READ.

 

 

 

 

In fact, I have lived and worked in China, all Google and therefore Youtube are out of reach, and all videos as Chinese cannot cipher foreign videos for censoring them as content cannot be censored via automatic digital censoring websites using certain words (all foreign blogs are banned in China). I am very worried as people could, when I first came there, found free VPN online, enabling them to register their computer IP in another country and therefore circumvent censorship. Six months upon my arrival, you still could use a VPN but for money, the same amount of money you need to have an unlimited internet connexion (huge amount for a working class Chinese citizens). Personally, I decided not to take one, and ended up working hours; wasted as I could not access sites still listed in search engines, even ‘English teaching site’, TFL sites, educational sites, etc…

Even more worrying now the Chinese governments officially said that they can punish the use of VPN (only way to access foreign blogs, youtube, all videos, etc !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!–) with computers ‘use bans on individual charge with browsing forbidden foreign internet material or by imprisoning them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

C.ET: AS A FURTHER NOTE: these past few weeks the news could not dry on how Shi, the Chinese president became the one figure of the party, comparing him to Marx and Mao.

But 2 years ago, Shi became at the same time as president, chief of the army, while treating their neighbors of land grabs- not talking of the Tibet that the English has given to them when they leave the colonial.

 

 

If today, Brexit might make a point of being royal, China gets along in clothes imperial.

And now with America, that elected the ones that said ‘America first’ perhaps wanting war or cooperation, go on with how American have been socially neglected, just maybe to appeal for some sort of economic or else conflict, thinking of how WW1 and WW2, permitted it to reach the top through being a creditor not a loaner like nowadays.

Mayo is the vote in Chinese that means null- the opposition dictatorship will have in their midst.

In china thousands of sites cannot be accessed. However, for years people had been able to download VPN (for free or after more assaults only by paying) that allowed them to access sites with the help of VPN- even if you are in china, your computer can browse as if it was in another country (a country without undemocratic, abusive censorship).

THAT WAS BAD, BUT NOW IF YOU ARE CAUGHT USING A VPN? IT HAS BEEN MADE ILLEGAL.

 

AMAZINGLY ENOUGH, I heard on the BBC radio how your searches recorded by the party and the state at large will influence how Chinese will have access to jobs, and even to services- as banks, phone and internet companies, etc, are nationalized. What is doubly amazing is that I cannot find for the moment discussions about it on the web. It might be a very recent unlocked news… see you later.

 

 

PS: SO CHINESE,                  TO NOTE, the interests that people have in freedom of expression is similar in the west. You may not censor a whole site but people will censor actors, agents there. For a beginning.

PS2: the only reason I am aware of that, is thanks to my having worked there. I listened to the news all the time, I would never have understood the seriousness of the situation through that, guess it proves I am a slow one.

PS3: I don’t know how it works in Russia, but from what I gleaned it has similar hues.

 

 

 

 

Ban the preaching of child marriage by Islamic preachers – and all others.

MOHAMMED, THE PROPHET OF THE RELIGION ISLAM, ‘MARRIED’ HIS FOURTH WIFE, SHE WAS A 6 YEARS OLD, HE WAS OVER 50 YEAR OLD.

This petition aims at letting people know about a simple fact:

MOHAMMED, PROPHET OF THE ISLAMIC RELIGION, ‘MARRIED’ HIS FOURTH ‘WIFE’. HE WAS OVER 50 YEARS OLD WHEN THE POLIGAMOUS ‘MARRIAGE’ TOOK PLACE, THE ‘SPOUSE’ WAS A LITTLE GIRL CALLED AISHA, SHE WAS 6 YEARS OLD.

Mohammed married Aisha when she was 6, and consummated the marriage at 9.  There is some debate within Islam about her age, but the overwhelming consensus is 6.  Below are the hadith (records of the actions of Mohammed that are very much a part of Islam) in support of this:
Khadija died three years before the Prophet departed to Medina. He stayed there for two years or so and then he married ‘Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consumed that marriage when she was nine years old.  Sahih Bukhari 5:58:236
‘A’isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house when I was nine years old.  Sahih Muslim 8:3310

From the hadith of the Sunan of Abu Dawud, volume 2, #2116 “Aisha said, “The Apostle of Allah married me when I was seven years old.” (The narrator Sulaiman said: “Or six years.”). “He had intercourse with me when I was 9 years old.”

“These texts are direct translation of the Hadith, Arabic Ḥadīth (“News” or “Story”), also spelled Hadīt , record of the traditions or sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, revered and received as a major source of religious law and moral guidance, second only to the authority of the Qurʾān, the holy book of Islam.

http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/251132/Hadith

Hadith has become a synonym for the term Sunnah.”

However, the plight is not more about what the scripturessay but about the thousands of documents produced by Muslim preachers, believers or followers entirely condoning, honoring and recommending this marriage of an old man with a young child.

This information is accurate. Please, be aware that ‘these teachings’ legitimised as fundamental to the Islamic religion can be found by the thousands on the internet via a very simple word search.

Preaching that the marriage of Mohammed to a little girl is appropriate or can be taken as a, or the model has grave and beyond horrid and vile consequences.  From child marriage in countries like Saudi Arabia, to the many stories of Imams being caught on camera in Britain agreeing to marry children and presenting it as a suitable practise under Islam.

The campaign and petition have two purposes: One, to ensure that people know what happens. The ‘marriages’ in themselves but also the fact that marriages of children with adults are in fact professed via the teaching of Islam. Two, it would then ask the government to sanction direct or indirect incentives and incitation to paedophilia and child marriage (paedophile marriages). Pragmatically, it means that Islamic teachers should be condemning child marriage systematically, and be severely sanctioned when advocating it. To praise Mohammed’s life without expressively condemning child marriage is in fact support to paedophilia.

The prophet Mohammed is highly praised and constantly cited as being the prophet and only prophet of Islam. His name is introduction to almost any communication and verbal or written exchange in culture Islam.

No one needs to enter madrasas, Islamic schools, to figure out that Mohammed’s life is given as example and model.

PLEASE HELP US AND SIGN THE PETITION.

Will you send me back this word document or a note with your name and position, to record your protest and ask the government to stop the teachings (happening in public or private places, but even in schools or madrassas teaching children about the Islamic prophet’s ‘marriage’ to a child) allowing (and ultimately willing to enforce) this model of paedophilic marriage to take place.

Sign here to make the direct or indirect teachings of paedophilic acts explicitly illegal in the UK, in Europe and elsewhere- we will campaign without borders.

We know that paedophilic ‘marriages’ are not particular to one faith. We will use this campaign’s results as jurisprudence for any other forms of paedophilia.

STOP CHILD MARRIAGE PREACHING NOW. 

PS: These acts or arrangements have traditionally been called child marriage. Still calling them child marriage hopefully would remind us who needs to be, by any means, protected. To call them paedophilic marriage could focus on the criminalization of paedophile and paedophilic culture permitting, encouraging it. To call it ‘child marriage’ stops naming what, once we know, make us all complicit of, since not stopping it: paedophilia.

PS: Here the link to the petition, please note that two previous petitions has been refused or removed without any warnings or adequate justifications.

To praise Mohammed’s life without expressively condemning child marriage is in fact support to paedophilia.
The prophet Mohammed is highly praised and constantly cited as being the prophet and only prophet of Islam. His name is introduction to almost any communication and verbal or written exchange in culture Islam.
No one needs to enter madrasas, Islamic schools, to figure out that Mohammed’s life is given as example and model.

PLEASE HELP.
Ask the government to stop the teachings (happening in public or private places, but even in schools or madrassas teaching children about the Islamic prophet’s ‘marriage’ to a child) allowing (and ultimately willing to enforce) this model of paedophilic marriage to take place.
Sign here to make the direct or indirect teachings of paedophilic acts explicitly illegal in the UK, in Europe and elsewhere- we will campaign without borders.
We know that paedophilic ‘marriages’ are not particular to one faith. We will use this campaign’s results as jurisprudence for any other forms of paedophilia.

Your signature would let the government know that people and gatekeepers are aware that pedophilic preaching is allowed in madrasas. STOP CHILD MARRIAGE PREACHING NOW.

 

PS: These acts or arrangements have traditionally been called child marriage. Still calling them child marriage hopefully would remind us who needs to be, by any means, protected. To call them paedophilic marriage could focus on the criminalization of paedophile and paedophilic culture permitting, encouraging it. To call it ‘child marriage’ stops naming what, once we know, make us all complicit of, since not stopping it: paedophilia.

Stepping Inside the Slaughterhouse

C.ET: I don’t agree at all with the last part of this documentary. Breeding humanely towards death is the most hypocritical human lies. In fact more than hypocrisy at the final it is deceit.

I all the same propose to you to watch the video as it is an excellent documentary.

Please, we beg you, don’t eat meat = cooked murdered cadavers and since it is still legal under your own order.

PS: I hope the little girl won’t be finally paid by the farming industry to sell the lies of them being caring. let’s go on be caring that way, and like all dairy cows we will finish euthanatized just like some of these little new (but well-bred generally) students would recommend ‘out of compassionate care’ anyway. Or start selecting what they want for their barbies dolls convoluting the buttocks buttox later needed (responsible in mass for animal testing).

C.ET: that just shows the infinite torture during breeding and slaughter. However, whose fault is it, and above all there is no worse torture to be de kept alive to be used as food, whatever the methods. It is the filthy fault of meat-eaters.

Not very distressful video, as I think we ve(t) lost the heart necessary to understand these types of cruelty, and therefore stop acknowledging a live of suffering, or our live permitting to lie, to breed and kill.

Heed, hill. Climate will change.

= think we ve lost the hear, think we ve lost the heart.

Think we ve lost the mind.

Deem.

Think we ve lost the vie.

Example of the perversion of negative rights and state laissez-faire.

Obviously state could endorse these experiments but are we citizens from the dead land of inferno, infer.

And when you think you have to design under cover to know 5 mn about these tortures.

Mind 5 mn of that should have been sufficient to close all the existing lab.

Extreme animal cruelty in Australia *WARNING EXTREMELY GRAPHIC

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMV8SHQCG9g

C.ET: Indigenous should obviously not be exempted of law against cruelty, that is typical of Australia sense of paternalism, which also is about letting people do just like if they were their child, no able to follow grown rules.  but you know what is the just rational for that. is that any tribes, nations, etc, are still allowed to kill animals.

It is the human species that should be endangered.

C.ET: a video also reminding people that little mammals or little rodents, any animals, must be free and might be pet. That also lead to another big problem, are domestic animals free? Often is a ‘nep’. In a pen, without other companions, enough space to do and move, without mates or spaces. Any how noah where the environment. In-vitro.

La peine maximale ici encourue pour plus de 60 infractions est de 6 000 €… Tellement peu au regard des souffrances supplémentaires endurées par les animaux dans ces lieux déjà violents et cruels par essence.

TO ANSWER a famous French songwriter: no, this human world is nothing near serious.

This is the case, what procurers think they have to do, in general. No wonder about how well Vichy could have thriven. (with English whose royals are of german origin, and the german that have been historically in pairs with the ottoman empire, and some branches now of islam that are pro-nazis) they were right the risk is that no more wars after that, is it a risk though, nature would say differently as ultimately the human plots is to leave her a barren stone, if any.

Granting Legal Rights to Rivers: Is International Law Ready?
Four rivers around the world now have legal rights. But what are the implications of rights for nature for international environmental law?

Essays

August 6, 2018 – by Mara Tignino and Laura E. Turley

Last year, four rivers were granted legal rights: the Whanganui in New Zealand, Rio Atrato in Colombia, and the Ganga and Yamuna rivers in India.

Granting Rights to a River:  Enhancing a Right-Based Approach

In contrast to international law, some countries have granted rights to the nature, and specifically to rivers, in their national laws. In 2008, Ecuador recognized the constitutional right of Mother Earth and, in 2010, Bolivia adopted the Laws on the Rights of Mother Earth, which gives legal standing to nature and establishes an ombudsman for the protection of its rights. And in May 2017, Colombia’s Constitutional Court recognized the Atrato River as a legal person.

More recently, the Parliament of New Zealand granted the country’s third-longest river, the Whanganui, the legal rights of a person, after a 140-year campaign by the Whanganui Iwi tribe. In addition to compensating the Whanganui Iwi for grievances, the move seeks to preserve the river for future generations of Whanganui Iwi and all New Zealanders. As such, the river gains its legal personality not from an abstract legal entity, but from the people that are connected with the river.

India’s Ganges River and one of its main tributaries, the Yamuna River were granted these same rights. The high court in the northern state of Uttarakhand — not the national government, as in New Zealand, Ecuador, and Bolivia—issued the order, citing the case of the Whanganui in establishing that that the Ganges and the Yamuna should be accorded the status of living human entities.

Environment: The Concept of Legal Personality – From Companies to Natural Entities?
By Latham & Watkins LLP on April 4, 2017 Posted in Environment

By Paul Davies and Michael Green

New Zealand’s Parliament has just passed a bill to enable the Whanganui River to be recognised as a legal person. It will now be represented by two nominees: one appointed by the Maori community (or Iwi), and another appointed by the government.

An excellent film about the gathering of evidence and legal fight against one of the most powerful energy corporation on earth. The actual film showing both horrors of environmental industrial ACTIONS causing direct (visible, no need for a chemical kit- and invisible of course) environmental degradation, and the parody of justice, in fact even the travesty of the existence of a simple legal system going on and on.

How utterly disgusting.

“Chevron has obtained an injunction from U.S. District Court against enforcement of the Ecuadorian verdict.[18]

“Despite these many setbacks, the Ecuadorian victims of Chevron’s pollution that Donziger helps to represent continue to attempt to enforce the judgment in Ontario, Canada.[19] Actions are also being pursued in Colombia and Argentina where, unlike in Ecuador, Chevron still has major assets.[20] Pursuant to these efforts, Chevron has already had assets frozen in Argentina, including bank deposits and its stake in a pipeline company.[21] These developments followed Donziger’s successful appeal before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals of Judge Kaplan’s worldwide injunction against the enforcement of the Ecuadorian judgment on the basis of Chevron’s allegations of judicial malfeasance in Ecuador.”

Very good, both films changed literally my standard data on environmentalist emergencies, fatalities and the fatal re-actions or complete (complot) passivity (amorphous) of the authorities and businesses’ ethics, as businesses are now the only ones left authorised to speak about ethics with some sort of authorities. Though I am no fatalist.

Aisha, “married” to the “prophet” Mohammed, “consumption” “marriage” on her ninth year.

In preaching Islam, some back the live of ‘their’ spokesperson or representative, preaching worse than imaginable, but children married to adult and old men. pre—aching more than paedophilia but act of torture that ought to be punished by severe stay in prison in this world all beyond rotten and  moribund. It is happening in schools, and all this starting (being official) in the U.K.

 

Please check on the net by typing anything like ‘age of aisha, mohammed,  islam’ and you will see that paedophilic enforced torture way of life is a grande classic of muslim literature.

 

 

Ps: It is not of any unbiased thesis that paedophiliac attitude is more east-centred. as for proof how on earth come that a very little proportion of the population is not aware of this, though screwed to their journals and TV.

Because of a culture that is incestuous and sexist, and slavist in the west as much. and how many of men and women, white if spare when the coming back of Malthus, are longing to be lingering near harems, brothels or others. Or at home, just like the under coverage of sexual exploitation within ‘job positions’ and ‘family’, ‘enforced prostitution via unemployment running and citizenship payday (pederast) is an help at supporting innocent and ingénue disarmament,  for the strengthening of all perversity.

With the west helping depravity, as more anxious to satisfy their control and detainment or denouncement sexual and sentimental over homosexuality, than stopping job for lust and the shortage of opportunity.

Just like purist, polishing their lines of toleration, hiding by any means, that puritans were just that much decadent.

Talking virginity deforming up to their own virtuosity.
