Two solutions for Human traficking that I have come up with. They mainly include the need to drawing attention to the fact and bringing about more attention to the need for change.
The presentation covered homelessness from several perspectives. Charisma provided basic research on the issue and its importance given Toronto's growing population. Shanshan analyzed the root causes such as economic recession, lack of affordable housing, and addiction. She also discussed effects on society like increased government costs and crime. May and Jay proposed social actions like volunteering or donating to Covenant House Toronto, which provides services to homeless youth. They also mentioned Five Days for the Homeless, a campaign where students live homeless to raise awareness and funds.
This document discusses the relationship between crime and poverty. It states that crime and poverty are closely interrelated, with each reinforcing the other. Poverty is identified as a key cause of crime, as it can lead to hopelessness, lack of opportunities, and desperation which may push some into criminal behavior. Concentrated poverty, in particular, is linked to higher crime rates. The document calls for comprehensive strategies that address both poverty prevention and crime reduction, in order to break the cycle between these two issues.
A model to increase awareness of abuse throughout our country. Build coalition of allies to raise awareness and prevent abuse in our communities. Self-advocates and the disability service community must broaden their outreach and activism to stop these crimes. Presentation from state conference in 2015 that reviews facts about abuse, prevention and a collaborative approach to education and prevention.
This document discusses instances where women and girls' human rights have been violated in Kenya. It outlines how women still face discrimination and gender inequality in areas like the workplace. Traditional practices like female genital mutilation are discussed, which still negatively impact many girls' health and education. The rights of women with disabilities are also infringed through neglect, abuse and forced sterilization. Recent cases of women being stripped in public in Kenya are mentioned as violating women's rights to dignity and protection from violence outlined in the Kenyan constitution.
Crime is defined as deviant behavior that violates accepted laws or rules. Sociologists study crime using theories like differential association theory, control theory, and routine activities theory. Differential association theory suggests people are more likely to commit crimes if they associate with groups that view crime positively. Control theory proposes people refrain from crime if they feel bound to their society. Routine activities theory states crime depends on opportunities that bring offenders, targets, and lack of guardians together. Sociologists examine crime patterns among age, gender, race, social class, and ethnicity groups to better understand who commits crimes and why. Understanding the sociology of crime allows societies to develop solutions that prevent criminal behavior and recidivism.
Corruption is defined as an act of bribery or using public power for private profits illegally or unethically. It takes many forms, including bribes, nepotism, misappropriation of funds, patronage, and favoritism. Corruption is caused and increased by factors such as a change in values, scarcity, ineffective administration, lack of accountability, and too much power given to officials without oversight. Whistleblower programs, computerization, privatization, stricter laws and punishments, and more transparency are some of the ways discussed to reduce corruption.
This document provides an introduction to sex worker rights and related topics. It begins with guidelines for discussion, then presents scenarios to determine different occupations related to sex work. It defines sex work and lists different types of sex workers. The document discusses frameworks like harm reduction, criminalization, and intersectionality. It covers topics such as the continuum of acceptability of sex work, who sex workers are, and debates around legalization versus decriminalization. Throughout, it emphasizes a human rights and harm reduction approach to supporting sex workers.

Social class is defined in different ways by Marx and Weber. Marx saw social class as defined by access to resources and means of production, dividing society into owners and workers. Weber defined social class based on wealth, power, and prestige, seeing a hierarchy with different levels. In the U.S., income and wealth are highly concentrated among the top 20% of the population, while the bottom 20% receive a very small share, a distribution that has changed little over time. Social class has consequences for factors like health, education, politics, and crime, and mobility between classes is limited. Poverty disproportionately impacts certain groups and persisting poverty can span generations.
This document discusses domestic work and the oppression of women. It argues that domestic work is necessary for capitalism but is separate from social production. While capitalists benefit from women's unpaid domestic labor, it limits women's opportunities and independence. The socialization of domestic work through public services could help end women's oppression by removing the need for the family as currently structured under capitalism.

Can Organisations of the Urban Poor be Significant Actors in 'building' Socia...Caroline Cage
In 2005 Sattherthwaite and D’Cruz made the bold assertion that ‘Perhaps the most significant initiative today in urban areas of Africa and Asia in addressing poverty… is the work of organizations and federations formed and run by the urban poor or homeless’. With growing numbers of NGOs in urban areas, as well as pressure on governments to increase citizen involvement in decision-making, large-scale Organisations of the Urban Poor (OUPs) are becoming recognised as potentially important civil society actors in urban decision-making and implementation. Urban poor federations such as Slum Dwellers International (SDI) have spread rapidly through the developing world, while at the same time NGOs have begun supporting umbrella groups as longer-term representatives of the urban poor.
In Kisumu (one of the fastest growing cities in Kenya and focus of the 2007 post-election violence), both SDI and NGO supported groups are operating in several wards of the city, attempting to perform similar functions of representation and coordination in the community. However, there are differences both in their supporting organisations, and in the way the groups themselves are structured and function internally. For example, while NGO supported groups may be seen as less antagonistic, and therefore perhaps better able to connect to local state actors, they may also be more constrained by the same overarching structures of donor aid and financing that has been found to limit the NGOs which support them. So how representative are they? Do they increase solidarity? And how do they influence, or are they influenced by external actors? This paper presents early findings from research into the Horizontal and Vertical Social Capital of SDI and NGO supported umbrella groups in Kisumu in order to understand how effective these groups are in their intended role as bridges between external partners and the community.
Addressing gender violence in traditional rural communitieslizc38
This document discusses a proposed citizen engagement project to address gender violence in traditional rural communities in South Africa. These communities have little to no infrastructure, services, or access to help for victims of gender violence. The project would use participatory community dialogues and training over 6-12 months to raise awareness of gender violence issues and empower community members and leaders to better respond to incidents of abuse through established traditional justice systems and by linking with outside service providers. While most ICTs are not applicable, radio would be used to advertise events and interviews. The project aims to design an approach that respects local context and systems to effectively tackle the serious problem of underreported gender violence in these isolated rural areas.
Crime rates have increased dramatically in cities due to rapid urbanization. Various types of crimes reported include murder, theft, drug abuse, rape, and kidnapping. Criminals sometimes receive political protection, making it difficult for the police to curb crimes. Poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, and lack of guidance contribute to the rising crime rate. Implementing strict laws, increasing police force, providing education and jobs, and cultivating moral values can help reduce crime.
Crime is defined as an act or omission committed against the community that is punishable by the state. What constitutes a crime can vary between jurisdictions and is influenced by a society's values, morals, religion, culture, history, and legal traditions. Sometimes laws need reforming to remove outdated crimes or create new crimes to address changes in society, like computer crimes. The features of criminal law are protecting society, prosecuting crimes against people, the state, or property, where the state takes action against offenders through police prosecution in court under the burden of proof of beyond a reasonable doubt.
The document discusses issues facing women in India. It notes that while women have equal rights legally, societal attitudes still see them as inferior. Statistics show high rates of crimes against women, such as rape, female infanticide, and illiteracy. The main problems are a patriarchal society that sees women's roles as limited to household work, and a lack of education and economic opportunities. Solutions proposed include changing societal mindsets through education, ensuring equal treatment and rights for women under the law, and providing better access to education, jobs, and financial services. However, implementing solutions faces challenges from entrenched patriarchal attitudes and lack of enforcement of policies.
Empowering citizens towards transformative development in Malawi: addressing...IFPRIMaSSP
A critical look at the policy and practice trends over the past 50 years of an independent Malawi and 20 years of a democratic Malawi, it is clear that Malawi has lacked an effective developmental and democratic social contract between the state and citizens. This paper argues that at this moment and going forward there is an urgent need to find a ‘growth-enhancing’ and ‘democracy-deepening’ path to change that can stand the test of the frequent regime changes, which keeps Malawi on a vicious cycle of poverty and dependency. In order to find this path, there is need to cultivate the politics of taking responsibility, transparency, and accountability, drawing these from a continued renewal of societal values at all levels. These societal values would be developed within a construct of collective action with rules of the game that work for all actors regardless of their official labels or positions. Using evidence from research, the paper provides very practical ways of doing this. This for example includes how initiatives such as the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) and the Farm Input Subsidy Programme (FISP), which are currently implemented mainly out of political correctness rather than transformative change, can be turned into opportunities to reconstruct state-citizen social contracts that are ‘growth enhancing’ and ‘democracy-deepening’ from the bottom up. Development is firstly political and then technical and not the other way round. Therefore, the tough questions that exit in how politics informs development and change need to be addressed for transformative change to take place.

The document discusses urban poverty and crime. It addresses the urbanization of poverty, problems created by urban poor populations, and different aspects of poverty in the US, Europe, and less developed countries. It also examines the relationship between city size and crime rates, theories for high crime areas, and crimes in the UAE. Solutions discussed include governmental investment in infrastructure and people as well as increasing opportunities for poor groups.
Begging is not considered a profession but rather a serious social problem. It does not contribute to the national economy as it is not a productive activity. There are various causes of begging including poverty, loss of employment, diseases, physical disabilities, old age, and it negatively impacts individuals and society. Both the government and common people can play a role in addressing this issue through vocational training programs, awareness campaigns, laws against begging, and caring for vulnerable groups.
The document discusses six main types of crimes: crimes against persons, crimes against property, hate crimes, crimes against morality, white-collar crimes, and organized crime. It provides examples and descriptions of each crime type. Students are instructed to complete an activity matching crime headings to definitions. They are also asked to watch an educational video about types of crimes and answer questions about the specific crime and category discussed in the video. The lesson aims to help students understand and learn the different types of crimes.
Social deviance refers to any violation of established social norms, whether through informal minor transgressions or more formal crimes. Social control mechanisms aim to encourage normative compliance through both informal social sanctions and formal laws and punishments. Sociological theories offer different perspectives on deviance, with structural functionalism viewing it as a disruption to social cohesion and interactionist theories examining how social labeling can influence behavior and identity.
This document outlines a plan to raise awareness about child poverty in local communities. It aims to educate community members about the high rates of child poverty, get people involved with organizations addressing this issue, and provide resources to help out. It recommends using social media sites like the Children's Alliance and National Center for Children in Poverty to share facts and advocacy opportunities. The plan is to attend local social events to raise awareness, advocate to large local corporations to sponsor initiatives, and encourage anyone compassionate about this issue to get involved by volunteering. Guidelines include being respectful, maintaining community connections, providing multiple perspectives, and acting professionally.

The International Violence Against Women Act (I-VAWA) aims to address violence against women and girls through U.S. foreign policy. I-VAWA was introduced in Congress in 2010 to prevent violence, support services for victims, and authorize training to protect women from abuse globally. It would help address human rights violations and public health issues resulting from violence that affects over 1 in 3 women worldwide. Passing I-VAWA could have positive social and economic impacts by creating opportunities for women and reducing obstacles to overcoming poverty.

How a Small Coalitions Leveraged Resources To Protect ChildrenHealth Easy Peasy
This document summarizes a presentation about how a small coalition of advocacy groups leveraged resources to establish a national commission to address child abuse and neglect fatalities. The coalition held meetings with government officials, conducted research, published reports, garnered media attention, and ultimately helped draft and pass bipartisan legislation to create the National Commission to Eliminate Child Abuse and Neglect Fatalities. The presentation outlines the coalition's advocacy strategies and highlights their success in elevating the issue on a national level through legislative and public awareness efforts.
This document discusses a comprehensive approach to understanding youth exclusion and inclusion in the South and East Mediterranean region. It proposes analyzing the issue at the macro, meso, and micro levels. At the macro level, it examines how governments represent youth and how policies impact inclusion/exclusion. At the meso level, it analyzes how youth organizations view young people and how organizations impact participation. At the micro level, it explores how individuals experience exclusion and what factors influence inclusion. The methodology involves mixed research methods across six countries. Key findings include that national narratives don't reflect lived experiences, youth face multiple marginalizations, and existential insecurity is prevalent. The document recommends EU policies focus on enabling environments, mobility, security, education, and
Media can play an important role in promoting accountability, gender equality, addressing climate change, and improving health.

This document provides background information on changing social values and cultural conflicts in the United States during the 1920s. It discusses the differences between rural and urban lifestyles as many Americans migrated to cities during this period. This urbanization led to clashes between traditional rural values and the new, modern culture of the cities. One example given is the conflict between fundamentalism and the teaching of evolution, which came to a head in the famous Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925. The document examines several social and cultural issues that emerged from the changing times, including Prohibition and the rise of organized crime. In summary, it outlines how the rapid changes of the 1920s created divisions as Americans grappled with adjusting traditional ways of life.
This year has been difficult with high unemployment, economic instability, and lack of action from Congress to help Americans. However, despite hardship, this holiday season reminds us of human generosity and sacrifice for others. The document goes on to list groups and individuals who are making efforts to advocate for Latinos, pass immigrant protections, improve communities, and help those in need through volunteer work and small businesses. While an exhaustive list is impossible, the overall message is that in difficult times, we all rely on and are grateful for the support and unselfish acts of others in our society.
Here are a few key points to reflect on regarding your role in reconciliation efforts:
- Educate yourself on Indigenous histories, cultures, and ongoing impacts of colonization. The TRC report is a good starting place, as are books/films by Indigenous authors. Ongoing learning is important.
- Challenge inherent biases and assumptions. Be open to having your perspectives broadened. Non-Indigenous voices don't define Indigenous issues.
- Support Indigenous leadership and initiatives. Look for ways to follow rather than take the lead on reconciliation work. Amplify Indigenous voices.
- Hold institutions accountable. Advocate for implementation of the TRC's calls to action regarding things like education curriculum reform.

The bay area anti trafficking coalition (baatc)Ottsicle
The document discusses the Bay Area Anti-Trafficking Coalition (BAATC), a local non-profit that connects organizations fighting human trafficking. It defines human trafficking as modern-day slavery, explains that the Bay Area is a top trafficking area in the US. The BAATC founded in 2002, organizes an annual conference and works with 33 local non-profits. Readers are encouraged to donate or participate to support victims and anti-trafficking organizations.
In a day long workshop at Bromley-by-Bow Centre Simon Duffy worked with a range of community activists to explore whether a pro-community welfare state was possible - and if so under what conditions. Lively discussions and important ideas emerged - although we may have to do a little more work before declaring success. Thanks to Power to Change for supporting this event.
The document discusses two cases of macro social work practice: locality development and social planning/action. For locality development, a new $1.7 million drop-in center was opened in Normandy, MO to provide services to at-risk youth such as life skills classes and meals. For social planning, campaigns in Utah and California advocated for marriage equality and immigrant rights through protests, social media, and engaging celebrities.
The passage discusses the changing demographics and lifestyles in the United States during the 1920s as more Americans migrated to cities. It notes that by 1920 over half of Americans lived in urban areas for the first time, with many moving to cities to enjoy higher standards of living. Life in cities was fast-paced and offered amenities like entertainment, but also brought challenges like impersonal relationships among strangers. The passage also briefly outlines life in rural areas and the rise of organized crime during Prohibition as gangsters like Al Capone profited greatly from illegally supplying alcohol.
Dr Simon Duffy gave this talk in September 2018 to the National Social Care Conference in Cardiff. He argues that our concept of citizenship is confused, but the potential for creating communities of citizenship is enormous.
Charlottesville commission on human rights, diversity2garretdurrette
The document discusses the origins and rationale for proposing a Commission on Human Rights, Diversity, and Race Relations in Charlottesville, Virginia. It outlines how the idea for the Commission developed from previous community initiatives on race and through research on other local human rights commissions. The document examines evidence of the need for such a Commission in Charlottesville through a review of the city's history of racial issues, reports on current racial inequities, statistics on discrimination complaints, and input from local community organizations. It concludes there is justification to establish the Commission to help address discrimination and be more accessible for residents to file complaints.
my review of 4 crowdfunding campaign write ups. Some were bad, and some were good. It depended on the quality of writing, the quantity of writing and the organization of said writing.
The document summarizes and compares the success of two Kickstarter campaigns - one for an anti-theft backpack and one for a dance performance. The backpack campaign was very successful, raising over $640,000 by offering practical and relevant rewards. The dance performance campaign is struggling to reach its $6,000 goal, likely because its rewards were less enticing and its pitch video was too long and impersonal. Overall, the backpack campaign succeeded by having an in-demand product and rewards, while the performance campaign has not resonated due to weaknesses in its rewards and marketing.
Hawaii's dealings (or lack thereof) with Sex traffiking. Hawaii is the only state without a comprehensive sex traffiking laws. They deal with it very little and are a major hub for it.
This document proposes using citizen science to breed endangered Hawaiian land snails in private homes to increase their population in the wild. It also suggests creating a factory in Hawaii that converts the state's abundant plastic waste into useful materials like shoe soles or plastic fibers to be sold, providing an economic incentive to reduce plastic pollution.
There are three main environmental issues affecting Hawaii: 1) microplastics and improper waste management have led to plastic pollution in oceans and beaches, harming wildlife; 2) invasive species have driven the Hawaiian land snail and 'alala bird almost to extinction; 3) inadequate waste treatment causes water pollution from sewage and factory runoff, endangering coral reefs and humans.
The document discusses three stories about homelessness: 1) A bill on January 27th, 2017. 2) A story about a man named Justin who became homeless. 3) An account of homeless people being "swept" from an area beneath a highway overpass in July. It also provides statistics on homelessness increases from 2017 in different regions of Oahu.

2. • Sex Trafficking is modern day slavery and is prominent in large cities,
and even more so in Hawaii.
• Hawaii invites many tourists and visitors who are business and Hawaii
acts as a transport spot between the U.S.A and Asia/Asian continent.
3. • Sex trafficking can start in girls at young ages. Some common ages are
11-18 years old
• Though there are many instances of it happening sooner, and later
4. • This is both traumatizing and heartbreaking for those who are forced
to work by threats, beatings, black mail and rape.
• It is also just plain wrong. It shouldn’t be an acceptable part of a
community or a country.
5. • The solution however can be difficult, because it does not lie in one
person, or a group of people alone.
• A solution would have to involve the Government from local levels to
federal/national levels.
• It will also require law enforcement officers or a division with the focus of
finding and resolving.
6. • I have come up with two solutions, but both of these require the
community, state, nation to work together.
7. • 1. Focus on advertising what
it is by using real footage as
evidence of its promiscuity.
(such as the drug
commercials that have been
shown in states with such
issues)
8. • These commercials raise awareness to the issue by showing the
grittiness of such endeavors.
• They are gross, but are also the real life situation.
9. • By showing the prevalence of such a disease would also raise
awareness to the need of immediate an constant action.
10. • By raising awareness of programs/organizations that are focusing on
the issue.
• By advertising these organizations can also help the effectiveness of
them.
11. • 2. Create a website that allows easy access to communities to act,
petition and find information that is key to changing laws and
participating in their local gov.
12. • After doing some searches I myself had difficulty in learning what
rights and “powers” a citizen has in their own local government.
• Create a website that would make this assessible.
13. • A website that would show
• Meetings
• Bills
• Votes
• New laws
• Current issues being focused on
• See petitions
• Etc.
14. • By giving the citizens easy access to steps and actions they need to
take to hold sway their local gov. would improve communities and
then work its way up the government ladder.
• The main reason people don’t participate is because they don’t know
how and they don’t know what's happening
