The Many

An overview of the conditions underlying the flourlshing Bangladeshi trafficking trade. Cross-border sales of women and girls are common, and prostitution is said to function on a scale comparable to other domestic industry. However, gaining an accurate understanding of the magnitude of traficking is made very difficult by a lack of proper documentation. Despite legal provisions prohibiting the flesh trade, the abuse of well-intentioned laws results in a successful evasion of penalization by the many who benefit from the trafficking of women and girls.

A highly informed and detailed analysis of the intimate relationship between structural adjustment programs and the thriving drug and sex trade in the Upper Mekong Region of Thailand, providing additional perspective on illicit traficking and trade in the larger Southeast Asian context. Attention is specifically drawn to the harsh and disproportional impact of IMF economic policies upon women and girls, also acknowledging the great importance of and understanding of international traffic in persons, in terms of migration problems and labour exploitation, rather than solely in relation to sex.

Feelings of body dissatisfaction are common in Western society, especially in women and girls. More than innocent discontent, body dissatisfaction can have serious consequences such as depression and eating disorders. The current article discusses the nature of body dissatisfaction, how it develops and how it is currently being treated. We also discuss novel strategies to increase body satisfaction that work on the automatic system (e.g., by retraining attentional and conditioning processes), since recent research suggests that appearance-related information is processed automatically. We suggest that extant methods should be combined with these novel strategies, in order to optimally improve body dissatisfaction and to prevent its detrimental consequences.
