| | Sexual slavery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Sexual slavery is a special case of slavery which includes various different practices: | | | In general, the nature of slavery means that the slave is de facto available for sex, and ordinary social conventions and legal protections that would otherwise constrain an owner's actions are not effective. | | | A supposedly true story of one such girl, purchased as a sexual slave when she was fourteen, is told in "Celia, A Slave," by Melton A. Mclaurin, and such practice is also widely referred to in other literature discussing the era, for instance Roots by Alex Haley. |

| | In all respects and in all circumstances, sexual slavery is slavery and its prohibition is a jus cogens norm. | | | In addition to charging slavery as a crime against humanity or as a war crime, charges of slavery may also be brought on an independent basis against both State actors and private individuals during wartime or peacetime. | | | The customary international prohibitions against slavery evolved in part to respond to difficult jurisdictional concerns, since slave traders, like pirates, historically operated on the high seas and were not necessarily subject to the sovereign control or jurisdiction of any single State. |

| | Japan: Still Waiting After 60 years: Justice for Survivors of Japan's Military Sexual Slavery System - Amnesty ... |
| | It means that the search of survivors of sexual slavery for justice has been thwarted in clear contradiction to international legal expertise and the express intention of the treaty drafters as well as the interpretations of key national courts. | | | Perhaps the most compelling example of the crime of sexual slavery and the denial of justice to victims was the system of institutionalized sexual slavery used by the Japanese Imperial Army before and during World War II and subsequent denials of responsibility for the system by the Japanese government. | | | The prohibition of sexual slavery under customary international law applies regardless of whether or not the crime was committed in a then Japanese colony. |

| | Fn5 After the court's creation, the international community could eventually extend the jurisdiction of the court after it has been successful in handling the international sexual slavery cases. | | | Fn60 In fact, the prohibition against prostitutional slavery has long been a part of traditional international law, even before any formal agreements were made between nations. | | | The international criminal court should be authorized to be able to seize the property of criminals who are convicted of trafficking in women internationally, or of forcing women into prostitution. |

| | The article acknowledges that the government has no information on how many women are trafficked annually into the United States for purposes of prostitution, yet goes on to cite alarming figures: 10,000 sex slaves imported every year, and a total of 30,000 to 50,000 slaves living in the country. | | | There are known cases in which young women from Mexico, Russia, Eastern Europe, and other countries have been lured to the United States with promises of jobs or marriage, and were forced into prostitution and robbed of all their earnings. | | | Schaffer notes that while Landesman refers to only two criminal cases involving forced prostitution, he depicts sexual slavery as an epidemic raging unseen in seemingly respectable neighborhoods. |

| | Except for murder, slavery has got to be one of the most immoral things a person can do. | | | Many translations of the Bible use the word "servant", "bondservant", or "manservant" instead of "slave" to make the Bible seem less immoral than it really is. While many slaves may have worked as household servants, that doesn't mean that they were not slaves who were bought, sold, and treated worse than livestock. | | | Notice how they can get a male Hebrew slave to become a permanent slave by keeping his wife and children hostage until he says he wants to become a permanent slave. |

| | SSRN-Slavery and the Roots of Sexual Harassment by Adrienne Davis |
| | Conceiving slavery as sexual harassment sheds light on how slave law was labor law, plantations were workplaces, and enslaved women's resistance constituted gender activism. | | | It designates slavery a sexual economy to foreground slavery's gender hierarchies and mechanisms of subordination as well as to show how slavery offered early illustrations of the social construction and fluidity of gender and the false dichotomy between public and private relations. | | | Critically, such a framework also recovers the sexual dimension of both slavery and sexual harassment. |
