Against this backdrop, the necessity for transitional justice processes to address THB and its underlying causes has been recognised. Trafficking for sexual exploitation in particular has received global attention and has triggered heated debates, and while it has been met by significant policy reform at the global, regional and national levels such initiatives have often proven to have dangerous consequences for women’s rights. At the forefront of THB initiatives are the women who work in the sex industry. Using Cambodia and Myanmar as case studies, we demonstrate in this chapter how transitional justice mechanisms and processes can facilitate women’s empowerment by engaging better with counter-trafficking efforts. We call for the field of transitional justice to expand its mandate beyond formal mechanisms to encompass efforts that aim to achieve durable peace by addressing deep-rooted gender inequalities leading to widespread human rights abuses. Bringing THB within the transitional justice discourse can facilitate creating policy initiatives that do not occur at the expense of undermining the already fragile status and position of women in transitional societies.

His last fortress in Iraq, the city of Hawija, was liberated at the beginning of October. A few weeks later, the capital of de facto ISIS, Raqqa in Syria, was reflected by the forces supported by the United States. ISIS no longer controls any major city in the region. What now? Is it time to start thinking about how to bring ISIS to justice for crimes committed

Research paper thumbnail of Constructing Women Perpetrators of International Crimes: A Critical Discourse Analysis

However, the prevailing silence about women who commit crimes has stagnated the recognition of the diverse roles that women play in war, including being directly involved in the commission of (most serious) crimes. This study attempted to challenge some of the dominant positionalities on women in war by conducting a critical discourse analysis of the relevant legal court material relating to the high-profile cases of Biljana Plavšić at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and Pauline Nyiramasuhuko at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). Our findings indicate that it is necessary to recognise a multiplicity of personal, social, cultural and situational factors that might influence women's exercise of agency and women's propensity to engage in violence, including violence committed against other women. Consequently, law's gender neutrality is little more than gender blindness if it does not take account of the social, cultural and personal embodiment of gender practices, including in crime.

Research paper thumbnail of A Human Rights-Based Approach to the Social Good in Social Marketing

Journal of Business Ethics, 2017

Social marketing has been established with the purpose of effecting change or maintaining people'... more Social marketing has been established with the purpose of effecting change or maintaining people's behaviour for the welfare of individuals and society (Kotler and Zaltman, 1971; MacFadyen et al., 2003; French et al., 2010), which is also what differentiates it from other types of marketing. However, social marketing scholars have struggled with guiding social marketers in conceptualising the social good and with defining who decides what is socially beneficial in different contexts. In this paper, we suggest that many dilemmas in identifying the social good in social marketing could be addressed by turning to human rights principles, and, in particular, by following a human rights-based approach. We examine a number of cross-cutting human rights principles-namely, transparency and accountability, equality and non-discrimination, and participation and inclusion-that are capable, in a practical way, of guiding the work of social marketers. Through an illustrative case study of the anti-obesity discourse, we present how these principles might help to address some of the challenges facing social marketing, both as a theory and practice, in meeting its definitional characteristic.
