“…Refugee women tend to have an increased risk of developing HPV infections and possibly cervical cancer due to the lack of medical care in their country of origin and potential for human trafficking during their migration period (Kim, Yun, Park, & Williams, 2009; Moon et al, 2015). Yet a considerable number of the sample in this study lacked awareness of HPV and cervical cancer and had limited knowledge of the consequences of persistent infections with high-risk types of HPV.…”

Lack of medical care in North Korea and vulnerability to human trafficking during their migration increase risks of cervical cancer among North Korean refugees. To better understand factors influencing Pap test use, we conducted a qualitative study of 8 North Korean refugees in South Korea. Individual barriers were limited knowledge, lack of perceived need for preventive services, and concerns about costs. Environmental facilitators included having female providers, receiving family support, and free screenings. Refugees’ health outlook, including viewing cancers as fatal diseases, hindered seeking Pap tests. Multi-faceted approaches to address individual and environmental factors in promoting Pap tests are warranted.

“…North Korean refugee women are frequently involved in human trafficking and sexual exploitation during their migration (Kim, Yun, Park, & Williams, 2009). This puts them at a higher risk of experiencing gynecological problems upon arrival in South Korea and may contribute to the higher prevalence of gynecological problems.…”

In this article, I will examine the use of the notion of cosmopolitanism to address the exclusionary nature of citizenship. Citizenship is a contemporary social norm that privileges citizens and discriminates against others, leading to consequent human rights violations experienced by stateless populations. I will use the case study of North Korean stateless women who reside in China and who are victims of human trafficking as an example of stateless people who lack legal guarantees for human rights. By uncovering the way citizenship operates as a social structure that deprives people of their human rights, I will argue for Seyla Benhabib's notion of cosmopolitanism, which pursues a more inclusive notion of belonging and necessitates institutional changes. These include the juridical implementation of improved immigration policy and citizenship law, involving the cooperation of the global society, to recognize the dignity of the stateless and protect their human rights.

“…While this vast and growing literature has produced a corpus of work describing and examining the materiality, the corporeality and the circulation of power, discourses, ideals and images, the emotional aspects of such regulated movements and directed mobilities have been partially overlooked. Building upon emergent work on the spatialities of biopolitics (Giaccaria andMinca 2011a, 2011b;also Minca 2005also Minca , 2007also Minca , 2009, "disciplined mobility" (Moran et al 2012), constrained migrant mobilities (Brown 2010;Guiraudon and Lahav 2000;Kim et al 2009;Silvey 2007) and the insights on the workings of actual emotional geographies (Anderson and Smith 2001;Bondi 2005;Colls 2004;Davidson and Milligan 2004;Kawale 2004;Pile 2010;Pini et al 2010;Rose 2004), we examine the underlying rationalities of the network of transnational control and mobility of passengers, the performance of the network and the related emotional geographies of its disciplined mobile subjects from an historical perspective. We situate this in the RDL's early twentieth century shipping of Eastern European migrants to South America-part of what was and still is regarded as the greatest "intercontinental migration in human history" (Keeling 1999:195) and one of the first global-scale international transport businesses (Deltas et al 2004;Keeling 1999;Sjostrom 2009).…”

Disciplined Mobility and the Emotional Subject in Royal Dutch Lloyd's Early Twentieth Century Passenger Shipping Network

This paper examines the disciplined mobility and emotional geographies of “between‐deck” passengers in Royal Dutch Lloyd's early Twentieth Century passenger shipping network. Specifically, it is concerned with the ways in which the network was established and with the efforts made to maintain it. It is found that such a disciplinary network furthers the firm's goal of shipping healthy and productive bodies for corporate profits and that transhipment facility Lloyd Hotel in Amsterdam was integral to the performance and maintenance of such a transnational disciplinary network. The key consequence of such disciplined mobility was the creation of an emotional passenger‐migrant subject shaped in relation to the power of corporate, cultural and other authorities in maritime travel and migration. In identifying this historic network of disciplined mobility and its emotional subject, this paper seeks to reveal the emotional geographies relating to mobile subjectivities and the power relations associated with their historically significant travels.
