Article
The EU's new Pact on Migration and Asylum, approved in April 2024, aims to reform Europe's asylum system, but has faced criticism for failing to address and reduce pressures on states of first entry, unlawful pushbacks, and human rights violations. Externalisation policies, used to curb irregular migration, have led to human rights violations in North Africa and neglected long-term migration challenges. Critics call for a more balanced approach, including legal migration pathways and addressing authoritarianism in third countries.

Article
Many laws on the criminalisation of sex trafficking and most approaches to the sex work profession lack a distinction between voluntary sex work and exploitation within sex work. This makes the whole fight against sex trafficking result in an objection against the sex work industry as a whole, which, however, increases discrimination against sex workers and has not reduced cases of sex trafficking. The article intends to explore the convergencies between sex trafficking and voluntary sex work, emphasising the real causes of cases of exploitation in the industry, which is capitalist and labourist society and not sex work per se. It also delves into the different legislative approaches to sex work and their implications, promoting respect for the self-determination and freedom of voluntary sex workers.

Article
The Imperial Japanese Army forced women from occupied countries into sexual slavery during World War II, referred to as "Comfort Women," with many victims suffering severe physical and psychological abuse. Japan's insufficient acknowledgment of responsibility and reparations remains a subject of international controversy, with critics highlighting the lack of formal apologies and inadequate compensation. Despite non-binding apologies and efforts like the Asian Women’s Fund, survivors and advocates argue Japan has yet to fully address the Right to the Truth and justice for the victims.
