“…The risks associated with selling or trading sex can lead to chronic and serious mental health problems including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (Farley & Barkan, 1998;Valera, et al, 2001), depression, anxiety, hostility, and paranoid ideations (El-Bassell, et al, 1997). Physical health problems associated with selling or trading sex include Hepatitis B and C (Harcourt, Beek, Heslop, McMahon, & Donovan, 2001), -Bassel, et al, 1997;Flowers, 2001), and other sexually transmitted infections (Jeal & Salisbury, 2004).…”

Running head: PUTTING THE PIECES BACK TOGETHER Putting the Pieces Back Together: A Group Intervention for SexuallyExploited Adolescent Girls KRISTINE E. HICKLE and DOMINIQUE E. ROE-SEPOWITZ Arizona State University, School of Social Work, Phoenix, AZ, USA Domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST) is an emerging problem affecting adolescents, families, and communities throughout the United States. Despite a growing awareness of the problem, information regarding treatment is limited. This paper describes a pilot group intervention created for use with DMST victims, focusing specifically on areas that were critical to the development and life of the group: 1) providing education about DMST, 2) reducing shame and addressing stigma, 3) mutual aid, and 4) managing strong emotions through the development of new coping skills. Process examples are given to illustrate this pilot intervention, and recommendations for research and practice are discussed.

“…Beyond the direct physical injury that results from violence is a range of other health-related harms. Impairments in mental and emotional health resulting from violent encounters include depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, posttraumatic stress disorder, mood and eating disorders, and substance dependence (Farley and Barkan, 1998;Fischbach and Herbert, 1997;Taylor and Jason, 2002).…”

Although dramatically heightened rates of violence have been observed among injection drug users (IDU), little is known about the gender differences associated with violence among this population. Employing a risk environment framework, we performed an analysis of the factors associated with experiencing violence among participants enrolled in a prospective cohort study of IDU during the years 1996-2005 using generalized estimating equations (GEE). Among 1114 individuals, 291 (66%) of females and 470 (70%) of males reported experiencing violence during the study period. In multivariate analyses, mental illness, frequent alcohol use, frequent crack use, homelessness, Downtown Eastside residency, and requiring help injecting were positively associated with experiencing violence for both sexes (all p < 0.05). For females, binge drug use (AOR = 1.30) and drug dealing (AOR = 1.42) were positively associated with violence, while younger age (AOR = 1.02), frequent heroin injection (AOR = 1.24), and incarceration (AOR = 1.50) were significant for males. Women were more likely to be attacked by acquaintances, partners, and sex trade clients, while men were more likely to experience violence from strangers and the police. These findings indicate that susceptibility to violence among IDU is structured by environmental factors such as homelessness and drug-related factors such as frequent alcohol use and involvement in drug economies. Furthermore, important gender differences with respect to the predictors and characteristics of violent attacks do exist. These findings indicate an urgent need for the development of comprehensive programs and structural interventions that take a gender-focused approach to violence among IDU.

“…Again, this is a story that addresses a little known truth, that most women who become prostitutes have been physically abused and raped as children. 63 In addition, this song implies an alienation by the narrator from her beauty and body.…”

Women Singer-Songwriters as Exemplary Actors: The Music of Rape and Domestic Violence

At the 2016 Oscars, Lady Gaga, joined onstage by fifty rape survivors, performed the song "Til It Happens to You." The Oscar-nominated song by Lady Gaga and Diane Warren was written for The Hunting Ground, a documentary film about campus sexual assault. Over thirty-one million people viewed the Oscar performance, which brought some in the audience to tears, and the video on Vevo has received over twenty-nine million views with another twenty-eight million views on YouTube. The film, video, and performance are the result of a growing political and social movement by young high school and college women to force schools, universities, and colleges to vigorously respond to rape and sexual harassment on campus. In response to complaints filed by more and more young women, the Obama Administration and the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) in the Department Education began investigating claims that schools, colleges, and universities were not actively and adequately responding to claims of sexual assault and harassment despite passage of the Clery Act of 1990. The Clery Act requires colleges and universities to report data on crime on campus, provide support and accommodations to survivors, and establish written policies and procedures for the handling of campus crime.1 Since 2011, the OCR has expanded its efforts to address sexual assault on campuses as violations of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 that prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs or activities that receive federal funds. 2With twenty years between the creation of the first domestic violence shelters and rape crisis centers and the passage of the Violence Against Women Act (1994) and forty years between the beginnings of the movements and Lady Gaga's performance before a worldwide audience, the anti-rape and anti-domestic violence movements, like the women's rights movement, have experienced waves of activism and optimism followed by bureaucratization and backlash and at times a degree of immobilization. Meanwhile, women singer-songwriters have increasingly accessed popular music, and in the words of Eyerman and Jamison, have served as exemplary actors, carrying the message of the movements into wider popular culture.3 Thus, while the political movements sputtered, socially, Americans were still increasingly becoming aware of the issues of rape and domestic violence.
