protection or support and more likely to be in need of surveillance and control” (Chan, p.261). An example of a situation that occurred between the Aboriginal community and the criminal justice system was the incident with Frank Paul. According to Razack (as stated in Chan, p.260), Frank Paul was picked up by police for being drunk in public. He was eventually released but was brought back to the station for a second time, where the sergeant refused to keep him. Frank was left in an alleyway, and later found dead with hypothermia.…
In 2013, more than 1.2 million Americans were diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease by the name of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Men and women between the ages of 13-64 receive this pathogen that is caused by oral and or anal sexually actions. The most common route for a pathogen to attach to the host would be through the respiratory or gastrointestinal tract, and through cuts or punctured skin. These types of routes through the body causes Neisseria gonorrhoeae to infect the host. Most of the microbes will enter the host causing disease to occur, from that same host and eventually spread the disease throughout the body, developing new hosts.…
Therefore, everyone hides behind the idea of “poverty and development”, when in fact it is a problem of sex, ”lots of simultaneous sexual partnerships, lots of untreated STIs and lots of uncircumcised men”, (book 134) 5. Chapter 6 presents ideas on abstinence, sex and condoms. Summarize the main points of this chapter. (i.e. What does the author say about these topics and how they affect data and HIV?

Even though there are many effects that are involved with prostitution, such as sexually transmitted diseases, robberies, drug involvement, substance abuse, physical abuse, and even death. Mainly women, who get into this type of profession are at a higher risk. For example, many women who are involved are at a higher risk of catching a sexually transmitted disease.

In chapter 9 of Global Issues, Local Arguments, June Johnson explores the idea of a local disease developing in to an epidemic (affecting people on a local level) and then into a pandemic(affecting on a global level). Disease is spreading from local to global levels at an increasing rate and if it continues many people will suffer and or die. This occurrence is making it more necessary for the government, medical leaders, religious leaders and regular citizen attempt to prevent the spread as well as educate them over the diseases to prevent future damage. To demonstrate several views of the matter she includes “The Age of Pandemics (458-62)” by Larry Brilliant, Student Voice (454-56) by Mark Merlin and “The impact of Disparities in the Health…
Equality: A fundamental idea that all citizens are worth something- which all lives are significant, and that human potential is not restrained. In many developing countries, women are considered to be insignificant, incapable and unworthy of holding any potential outside of the domestic sphere, and tied down by an international power struggle that has lingered for ages. At this time, too many women know the heinous reality of the international gender gap and the woes of being considered second class citizens. “Women and girls make up 98% of victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation.” (International Labour Organization, 2005).…

“Sex-Work; a way of living” Sex trafficking, an epidemic in its most latent manner, effects the morals and rights of freedom and protection of society. In 2014, Bill C-36 under Canada’s Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act, received its assent of legalization. The Parliament Members of Canada have grave concerns about the exploitation, objectification, risks of violence and the disproportionate impact on women and children inherent in prostitution (PCEPA 2014). Although the legislation passed by the Canadian parliament initially intents to tackle the issues of human trafficking and their exploitation, however it fails to put into perspective the actual stakeholders being effected by Bill C-36. It mistakenly assumes sex-work as…
Furthermore, the moralization of sex work affects women experiencing homelessness on multiple levels. Within the structure of patriarchy, the criminalization of sex work (which is justified by morality) is also used to ensure the continued economic subordination of women. Essentially, when women and femmes experiencing homelessness engage in survival sex, they are often doing so in pursuit of saving up a substantive amount of money. This is to evidently for one, dig themselves out of homelessness but also to ensure that they are completely financially independent in the future. Often times, what pushes these women and femmes into homelessness are households where they experience abuse and violence.…

Based on what I know and have learned in this course, one vulnerable group I would modify or improve to make a positive change is victims of sex/ human trafficking. Each year, right here in the United States, hundreds of sex/human trafficking cases go unreported or undetected. It has now become known as the modern day mode of slavery and can induce victims regardless of age, race, and sex, and socio-economic background. These victims are forced to perform sexual acts and are sometimes forced into manual labor. Personally, enough is not being done bring justice for these victims and their families, and also to bring awareness towards the full extent of how this problem goes.…
Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Syphilis are the 3 most common reported STDs in the nation (Howard).Primary and secondary Syphilis increased by 19%, Gonorrhea cases increased by 12.8%, and Chlamydia cases increased by 5.9% (Plagiarism!) (Howard). Legalizing prostitution will help lower these STD rates just like in Nevada where it is legalized, and if that is the case than prostitutes and the consumers will be forced to practice safe sex, and the nation could save millions in battling AIDs or other STDs (Reyes). However STDs is not the only thing prostituted women are at risk of they are also at risk of Cervical Cancer and Chronic Hepatitis B (Fraley). It is estimated that this year 12,900 women in the United States are going to be diagnosed with Cervical Cancer (Cervical cancer).…
Introduction Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD’s) are a combination of more than 25 infectious diseases caused by different types of bacteria and viruses.
