Dealing with Uncodified Harms in International Criminal Law Despite an increased attention to sexual violence by international criminal courts and the enumeration of a wide range of sexual violence crimes in the Rome Statute, many other types of gender-based violence, including reproductive violence, remain largely invisible in the study and the practice of international criminal law.81 For instance, as Grey notes, the ICC Statute is silent on forced impregnation, forced miscarriage, and persecution on the grounds of pregnancy, examples of crimes that should be included.82 As such, she continues, because reproductive autonomy is a distinct value from sexual autonomy, where possible, conduct which offends this value should be punished as a separate crime.83 77 Id. at 9, 283–284. Human Rights Watch also later established that virtually every Tutsi woman and adolescent girl who survived the genocide had been raped, and the U.N. Special Rapporteur in Rwanda, extrapolating from the number of unwanted pregnancies after the genocide (calculating that 100 cases of rape result in one pregnancy), estimated that the total number of women raped was much higher, ranging from 250,000 to 500,000.43 Despite this, the ICTR neither prosecuted acts of forced pregnancy nor argued that the commission of enforced sterilization and forced contraception without a genocidal intent could be considered a crime under international law.44 In the Akayesu case—the first conviction where an institution recognized rape and sexual violence as a means of perpetrating genocide45—although “rape was not originally included in the charges,” it was later added under the insistence of some judges and civil society.46 In that case, the judgment only touched upon reproductive violence in the context of the genocide in recognizing that forced impregnation could, in some circumstances, amount to the crime of genocide if there is an intent to prevent births within a group.47 We agree with Altunjan in 41 De Vos, supra note 38; Altunjan further argues that, despite the fact that the Trial Chamber also stated that “[t]he systematic rape of women . . . keywords: altunjan; case; columbia; conflict; crimes; criminal; gender; human; international; journal; justice; law; note; pregnancy; rape; reproductive; rights; rights violations; supra; supra note; violations; violence; war; women cache: cjgl-10717.pdf plain text: cjgl-10717.txt item: #5 of 521 id: cjgl-11721 author: Kobriger, Kate title: The State As Rights-Facilitator: Reconciling Branches of Privacy Doctrine Through Consent date: 2023 words: 18410 flesch: 46 summary: Some of the most iconic language establishing domestic privacy builds on that nexus, invoking Fourth Amendment sentiments to lend the appearance of Constitutional credence to domestic privacy doctrine.

Obscenity and Morality in the Courts from the Early 19th Century until the 1950s During approximately the first one hundred and twenty years of obscenity prosecutions in the United States (that is, roughly between the 1810s until the 1930s), courts frequently, and without much controversy or disagreement, pointed to the promotion of public mo- rality as the main objective behind obscenity laws. Whatever difficulties inhered in distinguishing between publications that had some social value from those that did not- difficulties clearly reflected in the rash of fractured Supreme Court obscenity cases that followed Roth'35 and in Justice Stewart's famous claim that, while it might not be possible to come up with an articulable definition of obscenity, he knew pornography when he saw it' 36-- the judicial review of obscenity regulations after Roth was significantly removed from the considerations of public morality that had dominated the legal analysis in decades past. keywords: amendment; brief; cases; columbia; columbia journal; conduct; court; enterprises; gay; gender; government; homosexual; inc; interest; issue; journal; law; laws; lgbt; magazines; manual; materials; morality; new; obscenity; obscenity law; public; publications; question; rights; roth; sexual; society; state; statute; supra note; supreme court; time; u.s; united; years cache: cjgl-13704.pdf plain text: cjgl-13704.txt item: #35 of 521 id: cjgl-13705 author: Lee, Donna H. title: Intimate Partner Violence Against Asian American Women: Moving From Theory to Strategy date: 2014 words: 26902 flesch: 41 summary: Examining social science data through an inter- sectional lens, this Article generates new approaches that are tailored to a specific demo- graphic group: Asian American women.

Scholars have noted that it can be difficult to successfully attain the educational goals as advertised by au pair agencies.168 The program itself does not offer accredited degrees, certifications, or credited courses.169 Au pairs usually take classes ranging from Zumba to ESL (English as a second language classes) that hardly provide them with the qualifications or professional capacities they envision.170 In addition, host families may thwart their au pair’s education, believing that her coursework deviates her attention from childcare.171 The United States immigration regime provides few viable means for au pairs to remain in the country legally after their program ends, despite the idealized vision of the American Dream au pair agencies promote. keywords: american; au pair; beltran; class; columbia; columbia journal; cultural; department; domestic; employers; exchange; families; family; gender; host; immigrant; immigration; journal; labor; law; minority; pair program; pairs; program; rights; state; status; supra note; u.s; united; wage; women; workers cache: cjgl-13774.pdf plain text: cjgl-13774.txt item: #51 of 521 id: cjgl-14056 author: Hansen, Robin F. title: Birth in Prison: Systemic Discrimination Barriers to Acknowledging the Legal Personhood of the Child date: 2025 words: 6364 flesch: 37 summary: A “dying” Indigenous person is one who is socially constructed as naturally dying or disappearing due to their own deficiency, a label used to mask deaths, including those from police/prison violence or healthcare neglect, one that includes the “drunken” Indigenous person stereotype.36 Once a “dying” label is applied to an Indigenous person in legal system 32 See Mary Beth Oliver, African American Men as “Criminal and Dangerous”: Implications of Media Portrayals of Crime on the “Criminalization” of African American Men, 7 j. aFR.

Children in Prison with Their Mothers Given the negative impacts of parental incarceration,28 the existence of prison nurseries can seemingly make sense—but no broad consensus has been reached on whether prison nurseries are a net good.29 Proponents of prison nurseries would advocate that maintaining the bond between mother and child can foster secure attachment, which is critical for children to grow into healthy, independent, and resilient adults.30 Additionally, prison nurseries have been shown to have positive effects on the mothers who participate in them, improving parenting skills and reducing recidivism rates.31 On the other hand, there is no demonstrated consensus regarding the impacts on the development and well-being of children who have lived in prison.32 Most human rights advocates would agree that prisons are not appropriate environments for children and can result in trauma and stigmatization.33 Yet forced separation of a baby or child from their incarcerated mother has the potential to lead to worse outcomes for the child if the community care arrangement is inadequate.34 One longitudinal study did indicate that a child who previously resided in a prison nursery as an infant/toddler will have better mental health outcomes at the preschool age than their counterpart who was separated from 28 In summary, the international legal framework for protecting the rights of children who reside with their mother in prison is primarily rooted in the CRC, with the BIC standard 51 See Van Hout et al., Children in the Prison Nursery, supra note 33, at 3. keywords: child; children; columbia; crc; gender; interests; mother; note; prison; process; rights; supra; supra note; women cache: cjgl-14067.pdf plain text: cjgl-14067.txt item: #53 of 521 id: cjgl-14068 author: Minson, Shona; Sikand, Maya; Woodrow, Pippa title: Mitigating Motherhood: Centering the Rights of Children and Mothers in Criminal Sentencing in England and Wales date: 2025 words: 10342 flesch: 53 summary: Despite incremental progress, inconsistencies in lower courts persist, with sentencers often failing to adequately weigh the disproportionate impact of imprisonment on dependent children and pregnant women. In 2001, the civil division of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales formally recognized the need to consider dependent children when sentencing a mother in a public law case that challenged prison policy on the upper-age limit for babies living in prison Mother and Baby Units.2 However, it has taken more than twenty years for the criminal courts to catch up and formally recognize the true impact of a sentence on dependent children or a woman’s pregnancy as an essential part of the sentencing calculus when a woman is sentenced.3 In this Article, we analyze the development of sentencing practice over the past two decades to understand the process of change. keywords: appeal; baby; case; children; court; eng; imprisonment; mother; prison; sentence; sentencing; women cache: cjgl-14068.pdf plain text: cjgl-14068.txt item: #54 of 521 id: cjgl-14071 author: Rufs, Catalina; Osorio, Victoria; González, Francisca; Carvacho, Pablo title: The Early Punishment of Accused Women: Experiences of Pretrial Detention of Mothers and Children in a Maternal-Child Unit in Chile date: 2025 words: 16006 flesch: 49 summary: While some pointed out that “no one is going to take care of a child better than his mother,” others highlighted that the absence of support networks, and more specifically, the absence of other women in their environment who could take care of their children, were factors that led them to make their decision.

Gaines, 169 S.E.2d 165, 166 (Ga. 1970). 2001] Columbia Journal of Gender and Law Kansas Supreme Court concluded that a woman could bring a suit against her abortionist for negligence or the next of kin could sue in the event of a woman's death.58 Indeed, the Kansas court felt no hesitancy about declaring that if the deceased Joy M. Joy had lived, she could have brought a suit for negligence herself 5 9 Certainly, her relatives, on behalf of her six- year-old daughter, could sue for wrongful death.6 Yet, a year later the Illinois State Supreme Court reached the opposite conclusion.6' In 1970, the Georgia Supreme Court reviewed case law on the question and concluded, as had the Kansas court, that civil suits following illegal abortions were allowed.62 The Kansas and Georgia decisions permitting women or their relatives to sue for damages in illegal abortion cases fit with the period's general trend toward making it easier for people to bring malpractice suits and coincided as well with the emerging movements for abortion law reform.63 Underlying the opposing responses to malpractice and wrongful death suits for abortion are implicit theories about the methods for deterring crime. It should be noted that the courts' treatment of women as victims in abortion cases cannot be explained as the natural result of the fact that the woman had died following an illegal abortion, since as in this case and a number of others, the woman survived her abortion efforts. keywords: abortion; abortionists; accomplice; cases; century; court; damages; law; medical; note; state; suits; supra; victim; woman cache: cjgl-2433.pdf plain text: cjgl-2433.txt item: #137 of 521 id: cjgl-2434 author: Kapur, Ratna title: Postcolonial Erotic Disruptions: Legal Narratives of Culture, Sex, and Nation in India date: 2001 words: 22220 flesch: 47 summary: But, within the emerging fantasy of the nation, the chastity and purity of Indian women, by which this dangerous and contaminating force was controlled, came to represent not only the purity of Indian culture but also its superiority to the culture of the Empire.

This is especially noteworthy in light of the fact that although legal scholars cite specialty journals heavily, judges do not.4 Not surprisingly, the program served to underscore the fact that the law is still male.5 Feminist law journals thus arose in response to the perception that the law is male and focused on more gender-oriented themes impacting women specifically, first addressing areas of the law normally relating to women, such as family law and employment law.6 More recently, however, articles written in these journals have broadened their focus to include gender-oriented themes relative to more traditional subjects such as taxation 7 and corporate law,8 and even influencing flagship journals in publishing so-called non-traditional scholarship.9 Also, because of the increasing numbers of women entering law schools, a growing need for journal writing relating to their particular interests found a voice in these journals as well.' keywords: feminist; gender; journals; law; women cache: cjgl-2471.pdf plain text: cjgl-2471.txt item: #171 of 521 id: cjgl-2472 author: Banks, Taunya Lovell; Andrews, Penelope title: Two “Colored” Women’s Conversation About the Relevance of Feminist Law Journals in the Twenty-First Century date: 2003 words: 5069 flesch: 50 summary: Twenty years later many of the subjects embraced in the early years of feminist journals, like reproductive freedom, equal employment opportunities, rape, sexual harassment, and domestic violence, have become mainstream, and are as likely to appear in traditional law journals as they are to appear in feminist law journals.'

Josie Ashton first initiated the Brides' March by wearing sneakers and a wedding gown with a picture of Ricart pinned to its front, and walking 1,600 miles from Miami to the Queens church where Gladys Ricart planned to wed. Subsequently, the collective movement of the Brides' March was created not only to pay tribute to Ricart's memory, but also to raise awareness about the impact of domestic violence and the need for resources devoted to the challenges facing many Latinas in particular. keywords: ashton; brides; community; cruz; family; garcia; gown; latina; march; new; note; ricart; supra; supra note; violence; wedding; white; women cache: cjgl-2498.pdf plain text: cjgl-2498.txt item: #194 of 521 id: cjgl-2499 author: Women's Association, March 29, 2004, Panel Presentation by Columbia Law title: Women taking the Lead in Law and Law Firms date: 2004 words: 9140 flesch: 80 summary: Please join me in welcoming all these distinguished leaders in law and law firms.

With the disintegration of the centrally planned economy and the ensuing economic crisis and loss of jobs in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the earlier notion of woman as worker-mother was replaced by the image of a stay-at-home mother in order to allow women to rest from production work. keywords: capabilities; countries; equality; female; frames; gender; human; individual; note; nussbaum; percent; quotas; representation; rights; state; supra; union; united; women cache: cjgl-2590.pdf plain text: cjgl-2590.txt item: #277 of 521 id: cjgl-2591 author: Nussbaum, Martha C. title: Liberalism, Development, and Gender: Responses to Papers date: 2010 words: 17544 flesch: 60 summary: And I assume that there are lots of other people who are going to do the other project, Basu prominently among them.

From Mohr, we get that the experiences and sensations of sex justify sex itself-up to a point (the point of consent), and that so long as sex is consensual, there are virtually no limits to its demand for freedom, if not also moral respect, even when it entails (the risk of) a sexually-caused death. keywords: aids; argument; assault; autonomy; bersani; boy; case; chambers; charges; code; columbia; columbia journal; community; condom; consent; court; criminal; crimp; death; desire; disease; epidemic; erotics; experience; forms; foucault; freedom; gay; gay men; gay sex; gays; gender; good; halley; harm; hiv; hiv law; homosexuality; ideology; individual; infra; injury; intercourse; journal; law; life; lives; male; man; matter; men; mohr; new; people; person; point; politics; positive; power; public; rape; reason; right; risk; rules; self; sex; sex life; sex sex; sexual; sexuality; shilts; social; state; status; supra note; terms; time; transmission; use; value; view; violence; virus; way; ways; women; work; world; years cache: cjgl-2663.pdf plain text: cjgl-2663.txt item: #342 of 521 id: cjgl-2664 author: Cunningham-Parmeter, Keith title: Men at Work, Fathers at Home: Uncovering the Masculine Face of Caregiver Discrimination date: 2013 words: 21747 flesch: 55 summary: According to Justice Rehnquist, when employers rely upon invalid stereotypes to deny men family leave, they erect sex-based barriers that injure 4omen28 Scholars have understandably praised the vision of egalitarianism expressed in Hibbs, calling it radical 24' and a virtual paean to fatherhood and gender-neutral co- equal parenting.

Columbia Journal of Gender and Law 2933.1 THE LAW OF STIGMA, TRAVEL, AND THE ABORTION- FREE ISLAND JOANNA N. ERDMAN* In 1988, the Supreme Court of Canada decriminalized abortion in R. v. Morgentaler.1 Almost immediately thereafter, the Maritime province of Prince Edward Island (“P.E.I.”) passed a legislative resolution opposing the provision of abortion services on the Island except to save the life of a pregnant woman.2 P.E.I. is a small pastoral province of rolling hills and ocean coves in the St. Lawrence Gulf, and since 1988, through various regulatory actions, its government has honored this policy promise to keep the Island abortion-free and to preserve its moral landscape.3 The same year that abortion was banished from P.E.I., Prince Edward Islanders also voted “yes” to the building of the Confederation Bridge, which would join the Island to * B.A., J.D., University of Toronto; LL.M., Harvard Law School. keywords: abortion; bridge; canadian; island; law; p.e.i; pei; policy; services; stigma; women cache: cjgl-2758.pdf plain text: cjgl-2758.txt item: #426 of 521 id: cjgl-2759 author: Ergas, Yasmin title: The Laws of Others: Mandating “Rights Through Travel” Between Discrimination, Moral Hazard, and Irrationality date: 2016 words: 4778 flesch: 55 summary: Part of the strategy adopted by feminist groups centered on organizing abortion travel.

Judge Jones’ questioning manifests one of the major difficulties advocates and activists faced in battling anti-abortion legislation in the years before the landmark Whole Woman’s Health decision: when applying the undue burden standard, many judges examined regulations in a vacuum,17 divorced from the lived realities of the women who experience them and their attendant harms.18 A reproductive justice frame attempts to remedy this blind spot by placing the question of abortion access within a holistic analysis of people’s lives that examines the political and historic circumstances in which those lives are situated.19 Reproductive justice advocates understand reproductive healthcare as a human right20 and, accordingly, look to international human rights law for guidance in interpreting domestic policies surrounding abortion access. keywords: abortion; ana; columbia; court; h.b; health; law; reproductive; texas; woman cache: cjgl-2760.pdf plain text: cjgl-2760.txt item: #428 of 521 id: cjgl-2761 author: Hawkins, Jim title: Introduction: Female Perspectives in Commercial and Consumer Law date: 2016 words: 1523 flesch: 47 summary: In just the past few years, articles have argued that payday lenders target women on welfare and single women;8 criticized payday lenders for targeting economically disadvantaged groups like women;9 found that payday loan advertisements contained more pictures of women than one would predict based on the percentage of women in the general population or in the payday loan market;10 suggested that financial stress pushes more women into payday loans than men;11 posited that the spread of payday lenders is symbolic of the “status-contingent inequalities” that 3 Jim Hawkins, Using Advertisements to Diagnose Behavioral Market Failure in the Payday Lending Market, 51 Wake Forest L.

As such, it is noteworthy how quickly it has been assumed that pumping and purchasing are equivalent to breastfeeding and provide the only necessary accommodations to breastfeeding mothers. keywords: aap; accommodations; babies; baby; benefits; bottle; breastfeeding; breastfeeding accommodations; breastmilk; care; caregiving; children; columbia; columbia journal; discrimination; employees; family; gender; health; human; infants; journal; labor; law; leave; market; milk; months; mothers; need; nutrition; parents; policy; pumping; push; rev; rights; separation; states; strategies; supra note; time; u.s; unicef; united; williams; women; work; workers; working; workplace cache: cjgl-2771.pdf plain text: cjgl-2771.txt item: #439 of 521 id: cjgl-2772 author: Tilton, Clare title: Women and Whistleblowing: Exploring Gender Effects in Policy Design date: 2018 words: 13006 flesch: 43 summary: One representative article published in Fortune in 2014 demonstrates that even a focused discussion about women whistleblowers can serve to reify stereotypes.76 To its credit, the Fortune article avoids making assumptions about women’s absolute rate of participation in whistleblowing, calling the activity an “equal opportunity vocation.”77 Being able to fall back on a legal duty allows for women whistleblowers to play the role of reluctant reporter, bound by a legal requirement, not driven by pride or greed. keywords: columbia; employees; feldman; financial; gender; incentives; journal; law; lobel; misconduct; new; note; report; reporting; research; state; supra; supra note; whistleblower; whistleblowing; women cache: cjgl-2772.pdf plain text: cjgl-2772.txt item: #440 of 521 id: cjgl-2774 author: Hopper, Madeline K. title: Note from the Editor date: 2018 words: 369 flesch: 40 summary: Columbia Journal of Gender and law i36.1 NOTE FROM THE EDITOR The Columbia Journal of Gender and Law was honored to cosponsor the third annual conference of Empowering Women of Color at Columbia Law School (EWOC) entitled Double-Consciousness: Women of Color as Advocates for Ourselves and Others in March 2017.

Because there were so many more men than women enrolled in the United States Armed Forces during World War II, with men exclusively serving in combat roles, it seems reasonable to say that the research experiments were designed to find cures for these sexually transmitted diseases as they manifested in men.53 After the Terre Haute experiments, United States researchers sought a place where it would be possible to do what they could not in the Indiana prison: spread the disease by human vectors (through sexual contact) or by direct injection.54 keywords: columbia; court; cutler; disease; disease experiments; experiments; gender; government; guatemalan; guatemalan experiments; gutmann; health; human; journal; law; note; plaintiffs; research; study; subjects; supra; supra note; syphilis; united states; victims; wagner cache: cjgl-5700.pdf plain text: cjgl-5700.txt item: #463 of 521 id: cjgl-5701 author: Plaza, Cecilia title: Miss Diagnosis: Gendered Injustice in Medical Malpractice Law date: 2020 words: 18819 flesch: 48 summary: The current medical malpractice standard of care protects a disincentive to change the knowledge and trust gaps, and some policy change is likely needed in both the medical and the legal spheres to better protect women patients and plaintiffs in medical malpractice cases.

By effectively “repeating” religious liberty claims like those made by the Hobby Lobby plaintiffs in the abortion context, the Temple’s challenges change the focus of the legal conversation from abortion rights (which are often insufficiently protected by courts) to religious accommodation (to which courts have been overly deferential even in the face of scientific error).15 By overcoming “abortion exceptionalism”16 that often proliferates both culturally and in lower court decisions, the Temple’s parody helps get abortion litigation “unstuck” from Casey’s undue burden test and opens up space for creative legal arguments against abortion restrictions, which go beyond pure questions of access.17 15 Caroline Mala Corbin, Abortion Distortions, 71 WASH. & LEE L.

In El Salvador, women who experience pregnancy loss are immediately under criminal suspicion.180 The Utah legislature passed the Criminal Homicide and Abortion Revisions Act in 2010, which includes provisions to punish pregnant women who “knowingly” commit an act that could result in miscarriage.181 Laws such as these put the state in the position of balancing the rights of the fetus and the woman, as well as determining whose rights gets precedence when they conflict. keywords: abortion; abuse; care; child; columbia; concealment; corpse; death; fetus; gender; health; journal; law; laws; loss; miscarriage; note; pregnancy; pregnancy loss; public; states; statutes; stillbirth; supra; women cache: cjgl-8061.pdf plain text: cjgl-8061.txt item: #471 of 521 id: cjgl-8062 author: Gutenplan, Hannah title: A Fairer, Safer, and More Just System for All New Yorkers: Domestic Violence and New York Bail Reform date: 2021 words: 15391 flesch: 48 summary: New York is the only state that does not allow courts to consider public safety when making release decisions.213 Before the 1970s, all bail statutes permitted judges to only consider flight risk when setting bail conditions.214 Following the era of “tough on crime” rhetoric, the 1984 Bail Reform Act, and the Supreme Court’s ruling in Salerno, states began to allow judges to consider public safety when setting bail or imposing pretrial detention.215 Many states also adopted preventative detention following the 1984 Act.216 In 2012, the New York Criminal Justice Agency (CJA), after a decade of research on bail in New York City, recommended New York legislators consider amending New York bail laws to authorize preventative detention for dangerous defendants.217 Such change would require a public safety consideration to be authorized in the bail laws as well. The Vera Institute of Justice conservatively estimated that there would be at least a 40% reduction in New York’s pretrial jail population if the legislation is implemented effectively.123 In comparison, there was a 30.4% reduction in New Jersey’s pretrial jail population as measured two years after New Jersey bail reform went into effect.124 Governor Cuomo’s office anticipated that in approximately 90% of cases in New York after the legislation takes effect, persons charged but not yet convicted will remain out of jail before their trials.125 keywords: bail; bail reform; columbia; court; criminal; defendants; detention; gender; jersey; journal; justice; law; new; new jersey; new york; note; pretrial; public; release; risk; safety; state; supra; supra note; system; victims; violence cache: cjgl-8062.pdf plain text: cjgl-8062.txt item: #472 of 521 id: cjgl-8063 author: Hickey, Jennifer title: Nature Is Smarter Than We Are: Midwifery and the Responsive State date: 2021 words: 26189 flesch: 45 summary: 157 A government study indicated a dramatic 77% increase in home births from 2004 to 2017 and a doubling of birth center births during that same time period.

The district court reviewed the history discussed above and concluded that, based on Congress’s repudiation of Gilbert, a “non-frivolous argument” can be made that it’s “unlawful for an employer to treat a uniquely feminine condition” less favorably than similar conditions affecting both sexes.30 Another recent district court case expressed support for this analysis.31 Although the courts’ suggestion that a plaintiff would need to identify a male employee who was treated differently is unwarranted,32 the recognition that menstruation discrimination could constitute sex discrimination is a promising development. keywords: court; discrimination; law; menstruation; pregnancy; sex cache: cjgl-8841.pdf plain text: cjgl-8841.txt item: #506 of 521 id: cjgl-8842 author: Winkler, Inga T. title: Menstruation and Human Rights: Can We Move Beyond Instrumentalization, Tokenism, and Reductionism? date: 2021 words: 3223 flesch: 47 summary: Many countries have adopted national policies on menstruation.1 Yet, despite greater openness and awareness, menstrual stigma persists, and it has profound effects on the realization of human rights across all spheres of life.
