It details how the Saint Joseph Family homes had been working with IBESR for over 25 years and were invited to apply for certification under the new, stringent process in 2012. Two of the Saint Joseph Family homes had completed the certification process but had their final approvals put on hold due to false allegations of abuse made by Paul Kendrick and Cyrus Sibert in hundreds of emails and calls to IBESR. An investigation found no evidence of abuse, but IBESR decided to delay finalizing the certifications until a related defamation case against Kendrick was resolved.
HIV Non-Disclosure & the Criminal Law: Legal Developments & Community Responses
Criminalization of HIV non-disclosure causes fear and anxiety for people living with HIV. Over 100 people in Canada have been criminally prosecuted for HIV transmission or exposure since 1989, with a significant increase since 2003. The law around what constitutes a "significant risk" of transmission is unclear. A recent court case found no significant risk from condom use or when viral load is undetectable, but the law remains uncertain. Advocates are working to restrict expansive use of criminal law and challenge misinformation.
Incest and Sexual Assualt on Minor Girls
The child sexual abuse is an under reported offence in India, which has reached epidemic proportion. A recent study on prevalence of sexual abuse among adolescents in Kerala, reported that 36 per cent of boys and 35 per cent of girls had experienced sexual abuse at some point of time. A similar study conducted by the Government of India in 17,220 children and adolescents to estimate the burden of sexual abuse revealed shocking results and showed that every second child in the country was sexually abused among them, 52.94 per cent were boys and 47.06 per cent were girls. Highest sexual abuse was reported in Assam 57.27 followed by Delhi 41 , Andhra Pradesh 33.87 and Bihar 33.27 . 1 Sexual abuse and sex trafficking remain highly prevalent and are among the serious problems in India. In the last two decades, an increase in the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases has been shown in children. Children who are victims of sexual abuse often know the perpetrator in some way. Hence, the problem of child sexual abuse needs to be addressed through less ambiguous and more stringent punishment.
