Student assistants as mentor-participants
Student Assistants (SAs) are generally regarded as support to the instructor's teaching agency in a course. This case study assesses SAs taking on the more autonomous role of mentor-participants in student teams during an advanced bachelor's co-design course, advancing our understanding of distributing leadership within such open-ended educational contexts. We use semi-structured interviews and grounded theory analysis to understand how students,…
Justice and Civil Liberties on Sex Work in Contemporary International Human Rights Law
To fulfil obligations in international law State parties have to take the issue of human trafficking seriously. The United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) provides General Recommendations (GR) to member states on the interpretation of the Women’s Convention. In 2018 the CEDAW Committee started to develop a GR on trafficking in women and girls in a process planned to conclude in 2020. The first stage to…
Fifteen years lifting of the ban on brothels
On 1 October 2000, the Netherlands decriminalised the sex industry by lifting the general ban on brothels in the Criminal Code (CC). At the end of the twentieth century, the Dutch sex industry had developed into an openly manifested and tolerated but still illegal industry. In the 1980s it was the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment, specifically the Department of Emancipation Affairs (DCE), rather than the Ministry of Justice, that was cha…
Purity, Victimhood and Agency
When the women’s movement reverted back to the nineteenth-century Victorian concept of ‘trafficking in women’ to address abuses of migrant women in the sex industry, it unwittingly adopted not only a highly morally biased concept—dividing women into innocent victims in need of rescue and guilty ones who can be abused with impunity—but also one with racist and nationalistic overtones. Despite efforts to counter these flaws, this inheritance contin…
The impact of different regulatory models on the labour conditions, safety and welfare of indoor-based sex workers
Drawing on research in the UK and the Netherlands, this article considers the respective legislative backgrounds, recent policy changes and their implication for sex workers in off-street environments. It considers the impact of different regulatory models on the employment rights, safety and welfare of sex workers and explores how working conditions in different indoor settings might be improved through legal and policy changes. We argue that al…
