Working 9 to Non-Stop: The Fair Housing Act's Sexual Harassment Protections for Domestic, Agricultural, and Other Live-In Workers 不停地工作:《公平住房法》对家庭、农业和其他住家工人的性骚扰保护

Live-in workers, for whom their bosses are typically also their landlords, are often trapped in sexually harassing situations that feel as though they have no practical or legal redress, especially when the worker’s harasser can both fire and evict them in one fell swoop. This Note explores the novel possibility of using fair housing law, including the Fair Housing Act (“FHA”) and state/local fair housing statutes, as a tool to provide legal protections to workers with employer-provided housing (“live-in workers”) who experience sexual harassment or violence in the workplace. There is currently very little case law in which live-in workers have brought fair housing and employment discrimination claims simultaneously, and functionally no case law in which attorneys have brought both claims for live-in worker sexual harassment cases. This Note argues that, under existing fair housing law, many live-in workers should be eligible to bring claims under the FHA and equivalent state laws that prohibit discrimination in housing. As a result, the FHA and equivalent state claims can provide sexual harassment and assault protections for workers, including domestic workers and farmworkers, who may not receive protections under federal or state employment discrimination law. Furthermore, this Note argues that the FHA can provide supplemental or stronger protections from sexual harassment for live-in workers than traditional Title VII or employment discrimination claims. It accordingly suggests that plaintiffs facing harassment or sexual assault in live-in industries should pursue fair housing claims in addition to or in place of Title VII and employment discrimination claims, in order to achieve maximum protection and relief.
住家工人的老板通常也是他们的房东,他们经常陷入性骚扰的境地,感觉自己没有实际或法律的补救措施,尤其是当工人的骚扰者可以一举解雇和驱逐他们时。本说明探讨了利用公平住房法的新可能性,包括《公平住房法》(“FHA”)和州/地方公平住房法规,为在工作场所遭受性骚扰或暴力的雇主提供住房的工人(“住家工人”)提供法律保护。目前,很少有判例法规定住家工人同时提出公平住房和就业歧视索赔,也没有任何判例法规定律师同时提出住家工人性骚扰案件的索赔。本说明认为,根据现有的公平住房法,许多住家工人应有资格根据联邦住房管理局和禁止住房歧视的同等州法律提出索赔。因此,联邦住房管理局和同等的州索赔可以为工人提供性骚扰和性侵犯保护,包括家庭佣工和农场工人,他们可能得不到联邦或州就业歧视法的保护。此外,本说明认为,与传统的第七章或就业歧视索赔相比,FHA可以为住家工人提供补充或更有力的性骚扰保护。因此,它建议,在居住行业面临骚扰或性侵犯的原告,除了或代替第七章和就业歧视索赔,还应寻求公平住房索赔,以实现最大限度的保护和救济。

Living Freely Behind Bars: Reframing the Due Process Rights of Transgender Prisoners 在监狱里自由生活:重塑变性囚犯的正当程序权利

Federal constitutional jurisprudence, as it stands today, provides insufficient protections for transgender individuals who are incarcerated. Transgender prisoners face high rates of physical and sexual assault, harassment, and other mistreatment by state and federal prison officials and individuals incarcerated with them. Commonly pursued avenues for relief—namely the Eighth Amendment, the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, and the right to privacy—present hurdles in the form of too-hard-to-meet legal standards, and they perpetuate harmful stereotypes and cultural norms that should occupy no place in modern constitutional law. This Note proposes that, instead of relying on these inadequate constitutional claims to vindicate their rights, transgender prisoners and their advocates should consider litigating under the Due Process Clause of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, articulating a right to live freely in accordance with one’s gender identity. Recognition of such a right would enable plaintiffs to utilize more favorable substantive due process legal standards and eschew perpetuating outdated notions of gender within the law.
目前的联邦宪法判例对被监禁的跨性别者没有提供足够的保护。跨性别囚犯面临着来自州和联邦监狱官员以及与他们关押的个人的身体和性侵犯、骚扰和其他虐待的高发生率。通常寻求救济的途径——即第八修正案、第十四修正案的平等保护条款和隐私权——以难以达到法律标准的形式存在障碍,它们使有害的刻板印象和文化规范永久化,而这些刻板印象和文化规范不应在现代宪法中占有一席之地。本文建议,变性囚犯及其支持者不应依靠这些不充分的宪法主张来维护他们的权利,而应考虑根据第五和第十四修正案的正当程序条款提起诉讼,该条款阐明了根据自己的性别认同自由生活的权利。承认这种权利将使原告能够利用更有利的实质性正当程序法律标准,并避免在法律范围内延续过时的性别观念。

A Fairer, Safer, and More Just System for All New Yorkers: Domestic Violence and New York Bail Reform 为所有纽约人建立一个更公平、更安全、更公正的制度:家庭暴力与纽约保释改革
Pub Date : 2021-03-25 DOI: 10.52214/CJGL.V40I2.8062

On January 1, 2020, bail reform laws went into effect in New York that eliminated cash bail for thousands of defendants across the state. In step with other reforming jurisdictions across the country, New York aimed to ensure that a defendant’s freedom before trial would not be determined by the individual’s ability to pay. Unlike other reforming jurisdictions, however, New York’s bail laws do not include public safety as a legitimate factor for judges to consider when setting release conditions. Some domestic violence advocates have expressed concern for victims’ safety during the pretrial period in domestic violence cases. This Note explores the potential impact of New York’s bail reform laws on domestic violence cases and whether any mitigating measures may be implemented to promote victims’ safety.
2020年1月1日,纽约州保释改革法生效,取消了全州数千名被告的现金保释。与全国其他改革司法管辖区步调一致,纽约旨在确保被告在审判前的自由不会由个人的支付能力决定。然而,与其他改革司法管辖区不同的是,纽约的保释法并没有将公共安全作为法官在设定释放条件时考虑的合法因素。一些家庭暴力倡导者对家庭暴力案件审前阶段受害者的安全表示关切。本文探讨纽约保释改革法对家庭暴力案件的潜在影响,以及是否可以实施任何缓解措施以促进受害者的安全。

What To Expect When You’re No Longer Expecting: How States Use Concealment and Abuse of a Corpse Statutes Against Women 当你不再期待时该期待什么:各州如何对女性使用隐藏和虐待尸体的法令
Pub Date : 2021-03-25 DOI: 10.52214/CJGL.V40I2.8061

Since the 1690s, women in the United States have been arrested and punished for experiencing miscarriages and stillbirths—pregnancy outcomes that are completely normal. This practice continues to the modern day, where prosecutors charge women with concealing a birth, concealing a death, or abuse of a corpse for the actions they take after experiencing pregnancy loss. This Note argues that these statutes were originally enacted to punish women who had sex outside of marriage and are now being used to control women, mostly women of color and poor women, for not adhering to society’s idealized vision of femininity and motherhood. The use of these statutes advances notions of fetal personhood and will ultimately have a chilling effect on the availability of abortion through telemedicine. The Note suggests that while repealing these laws would help, the best solution is to approach the issue through a reproductive justice lens—namely, increasing the availability of education and medical services for women.
自1690年代以来,美国女性因流产和死产而被捕并受到惩罚,而流产和死胎是完全正常的妊娠结果。这种做法一直延续到现代,检察官指控女性隐瞒出生、隐瞒死亡或虐待尸体,因为她们在经历流产后采取了行动。本说明认为,这些法规最初是为了惩罚婚外性行为的妇女而制定的,现在被用来控制妇女,主要是有色人种妇女和贫困妇女,因为她们不遵守社会对女性气质和母性的理想化愿景。这些法规的使用促进了胎儿人格的概念,并最终将对远程医疗堕胎的可用性产生寒蝉效应。《说明》指出,虽然废除这些法律会有所帮助,但最好的解决方案是从生殖正义的角度来处理这个问题,即增加妇女的教育和医疗服务。

The Intersectionality of Age and Gender on the Bench: Are Younger Female Judges Harsher with Serious Crimes? 法官席上年龄和性别的交叉性:年轻女法官对重罪更严厉吗?

We analyzed sentencing data from sixteen years of criminal trials in the State of Colorado, consisting of almost 3,000 individual sentences, and discovered an interaction effect of harm, gender, and age not reported in any of the empirical or experimental literature. Young female judges punished high harm crimes substantially more than their male and older female colleagues. These results, if confirmed, could have significant strategic and tactical implications for practicing lawyers. They may also inform policies surrounding judicial selection, education, training, and retirement.
我们分析了科罗拉多州16年刑事审判的量刑数据,包括近3000个单独的判决,发现了任何实证或实验文献中都没有报道的伤害、性别和年龄的相互作用效应。年轻的女法官对高伤害犯罪的惩罚远远超过了她们的男性和年长的女性同事。这些结果如果得到证实,可能会对执业律师产生重大的战略和战术影响。它们还可以为司法选拔、教育、培训和退休等方面的政策提供信息。

Intrastate Preemption: A New Frontier in Burdening Choice 州内优先权:负担选择的新前沿
Pub Date : 2020-09-07 DOI: 10.7916/CJGL.V40I1.7055
Juliana L. Bennington
The use of intrastate preemption by states to undo local ordinances enacted to protect reproductive health and access to reproductive services has increased in recent years. State-local conflict is a long-standing aspect of the United States government system; however, these conflicts have become increasingly politicized. Explicit intrastate preemption of localities’ protective action is a new strategy states are using to make accessing reproductive care more difficult and adding burdens to the right to choose. This article explores the intrastate preemption trend, possible litigation under traditional preemption jurisprudence, and reproductive specific litigation strategies to combat this form of anti-choice legislation. While litigation against intrastate preemption may be more successful in the reproductive health space as compared to non-public health related local measures experiencing state preemption, this article concludes that advocacy against intrastate preemption legislation is the best strategy to allow localities to protect access.
近年来,各州利用州内优先权来撤销为保护生殖健康和获得生殖服务而颁布的地方法令的情况有所增加。州与地方的冲突是美国政府体制长期存在的一个方面;然而,这些冲突越来越政治化。州内对地方保护行动的明确抢占是一种新的策略,各州正在使用这种策略使获得生殖保健更加困难,并增加了选择权的负担。本文探讨了州内优先购买权的趋势,传统优先购买权法理下可能的诉讼,以及对抗这种形式的反选择立法的生殖特定诉讼策略。虽然在生殖健康领域,与经历州优先的非公共卫生相关地方措施相比,针对州内优先的诉讼可能更成功,但本文得出的结论是,倡导反对州内优先立法是允许地方保护获取的最佳策略。

Infertility and Human Rights: A Jurisprudential Survey 不孕不育与人权:一项法学调查
Pub Date : 2020-06-26 DOI: 10.7916/CJGL.V40I1.6847
Martha F. Davis, R. Khosla
This article systematically explores the evolving human rights jurisprudence relating to infertility, a significant public health issue worldwide. There is no real question that the failure to prevent infertility, the failure to treat infertility, and the failure to recognize and respond to infertility, raise human rights concerns. But beyond the relevant human rights norms, we argue that human rights analyses can aid jurisdictions in structuring their responses to infertility. Through case studies and country-specific research, we adduce evidence that human rights norms are, in fact, already providing such guidance at the national level. The article further identifies a series of pending human rights challenges in the infertility arena – including the issue of “conditional childlessness” (also known as social infertility) – and offers suggestions for analyzing these issues.
本文系统地探讨了与不孕症这一全球重大公共卫生问题有关的不断发展的人权法理学。毫无疑问,未能预防不孕症、未能治疗不孕症以及未能认识和应对不孕症引起了人权问题。但在相关的人权规范之外,我们认为人权分析可以帮助司法管辖区构建其对不孕症的反应。通过案例研究和针对具体国家的研究,我们提出证据表明,人权规范实际上已经在国家一级提供了这种指导。这篇文章进一步指出了不孕不育领域一系列悬而未决的人权挑战——包括“有条件的无子女”(也称为社会不孕)问题——并为分析这些问题提供了建议。

Seeking Justice for Victims of the Guatemalan Sexually Transmitted Disease Experiments 1946–1948 为1946-1948年危地马拉性传播疾病实验的受害者寻求正义
Pub Date : 2020-04-16 DOI: 10.7916/CJGL.V39I2.5700
S. S. Lee, Aurora J. Grutman
Between 1946 and 1948, researchers sponsored by the United States government intentionally exposed more than 1,300 Guatemalan men and women to sexually transmitted diseases without their informed consent. Many of the surviving victims and their descendants suffer from the effects of untreated syphilis, gonorrhea, and similar illnesses. But the general public did not become aware of these non-consensual human experiments for more than sixty years. After a researcher uncovered the experiments, the United States government apologized to the Guatemalan victims, but the victims received no compensation for their injuries. So far, the efforts of the victims to receive legal redress for their injuries have been unsuccessful. This Article has two aims—one descriptive and the other conceptual. First, it seeks to bring awareness to the history and legacy of the Guatemalan sexually transmitted disease experiments. Second, it argues that litigation—even if unsuccessful—can play a role in amplifying the victims’ voices in a way that acknowledges their pain and helps to repair harm that was done. Even if the United States government is immune from formal legal liability, the government and the corporate interests that benefitted from the Guatemalan experiments, have a moral obligation to compensate the victims. The lens of reproductive justice makes clear this obligation. By critically investigating the Guatemalan sexually transmitted disease experiments and their legacy, one can better understand how gender, race, socioeconomic class, geopolitical power, and even geography informed the initial decision to conduct non-consensual human experimentation in that country and why the victims have been unable to obtain formal legal recognition for their suffering. * Susan S.

1946年至1948年间,美国政府赞助的研究人员在未经知情同意的情况下,故意让1300多名危地马拉男女接触性传播疾病。许多幸存的受害者及其后代都患有未经治疗的梅毒、淋病和类似疾病。但60多年来,公众并没有意识到这些非自愿的人体实验。在一名研究人员发现这些实验后,美国政府向危地马拉受害者道歉,但受害者没有得到任何赔偿。到目前为止,受害者为其受伤寻求法律补救的努力一直没有成功。这篇文章有两个目的——一个是描述性的,另一个是概念性的。首先,它试图让人们了解危地马拉性传播疾病实验的历史和遗产。其次,它认为,即使诉讼不成功,也可以在放大受害者的声音方面发挥作用,承认他们的痛苦,并有助于修复已经造成的伤害。即使美国政府免于承担正式的法律责任,从危地马拉实验中受益的政府和企业利益也有赔偿受害者的道德义务。生殖正义的视角表明了这一义务。通过批判性地调查危地马拉的性传播疾病实验及其遗留问题,人们可以更好地了解性别、种族、社会经济阶层、地缘政治权力甚至地理位置是如何决定在该国进行非自愿的人体实验的,以及受害者为什么无法获得对其痛苦的正式法律承认。*苏珊·S·李将于2020年开始她的职业生涯,在美国空军担任检察官。她毕业于北卡罗来纳州立大学(BA 2015)和佩斯大学伊丽莎白·豪布法学院(JD 2019)。Aurora Grutman是纽约市的一名独立研究员。列出附属机构仅供参考。本文所表达的观点仅为作者个人的观点,不代表任何雇主或附属机构的观点。39.2哥伦比亚性别与法律杂志55
{"title":"Seeking Justice for Victims of the Guatemalan Sexually Transmitted Disease Experiments 1946–1948","authors":"S. S. Lee, Aurora J. Grutman","doi":"10.7916/CJGL.V39I2.5700","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7916/CJGL.V39I2.5700","url":null,"abstract":"Between 1946 and 1948, researchers sponsored by the United States government intentionally exposed more than 1,300 Guatemalan men and women to sexually transmitted diseases without their informed consent. Many of the surviving victims and their descendants suffer from the effects of untreated syphilis, gonorrhea, and similar illnesses. But the general public did not become aware of these non-consensual human experiments for more than sixty years. After a researcher uncovered the experiments, the United States government apologized to the Guatemalan victims, but the victims received no compensation for their injuries. So far, the efforts of the victims to receive legal redress for their injuries have been unsuccessful. This Article has two aims—one descriptive and the other conceptual. First, it seeks to bring awareness to the history and legacy of the Guatemalan sexually transmitted disease experiments. Second, it argues that litigation—even if unsuccessful—can play a role in amplifying the victims’ voices in a way that acknowledges their pain and helps to repair harm that was done. Even if the United States government is immune from formal legal liability, the government and the corporate interests that benefitted from the Guatemalan experiments, have a moral obligation to compensate the victims. The lens of reproductive justice makes clear this obligation. By critically investigating the Guatemalan sexually transmitted disease experiments and their legacy, one can better understand how gender, race, socioeconomic class, geopolitical power, and even geography informed the initial decision to conduct non-consensual human experimentation in that country and why the victims have been unable to obtain formal legal recognition for their suffering. * Susan S.
