Carnival Against Sexual Violence 50

I guess it's the Silver Anniversary edition and it is up at abyss2hope. As usual, here is the Legal section:

In "The Countertraffickers" posted at Feminist Law Professors, we get a discussion of efforts to help those who have been trafficked to have lives free of exploitation.

In UN declares rape a war crime! posted at Change Happens: the SAFER blog, we get a discussion about the acknowledgement that rape in war is more than individual random acts of violence during the "chaos" of war.

In What does it take? posted at The Curvature, we get a discussion of the R. Kelly trial and subsequent acquittal despite video evidence.

In Most rapists are given a pass in Galveston County posted at South Texas Chisme, we get a discussion of the difference between the number rapes reported since 2006 (400) and the number of convictions (5) and how when explaining this difference those who reported being raped were blamed for the lack of convictions.

In Cops Beat Transexual Woman posted at Womanist Musings, we get a discussion about the descriptions used about the person beaten to minimize or justify the violence captured on video and how those descriptions often mute the protests which are made when others are subjected to the same type of violence.

In An Approach to Prostitution posted at Cold SnapDragon, we get a discussion about countries which are looking at targeting the customers of prostitution.

In Kennedy v. Louisiana - An Assessment of the Opinions posted at Sex Crimes, we get a discussion of the US Supreme Court opinions on the case which overturned the death penalty for child rape.

In National Child Protection Training Center In Winona MN posted at abyss2hope: A rape survivor's zigzag journey into the open, I discuss a new program which will provide systematic training to prosecutors, police, social workers and others so that fewer mistakes are made on the job and so that fewer abused children will be left unprotected.
