There is a passage from Olive Schreiner's 1883 novel The Story of An African Farm where she describes the isolated existence of the rural Karoo, with its “weird and almost oppressive beauty...the stone walled sheep kraals and kaffer huts.” This cursory and derogatory description of farm worker's dwellings is perhaps the only time they feature in the book. Rather, labourers and their homes are considered part of the farm's natural landscape and as such are rendered invisible and silent…

(CNN) -- Americans are right to get angry at the violence against women and girls in developing nations: the Congo rape camps, the widespread practices of female genital mutilation in West Africa and the infanticide of females in China.

Our disgust at the violence committed against women and girls is heightened by the culture of impunity that allows the perpetrators of these crimes to go free without condemnation or punishment. That culture also turns victims into criminals,…

The guilty plea was announced by: U.S. Attorney John Walsh, District of Colorado; Denver Special Agent in Charge Kumar Kibble, U.S. Immigration and

Three women -- one of whom is a mother of four -- and a man used a picture of a 14-year-old girl as bait to entice prospective clients into parting with their money.

Now they face jail after their operation was smashed by British…

being forced to work as a prostitute.

According to her mother, the girl had started running away from home earlier this year. She found out her daughter was in the sex trade when she saw her in an

under fire once again for its controversial sex advertisements.

A new financials evaluation of the site estimates that one-third of Craigslist’s $100+ million revenue comes via sex-related ad sales. While a lot of the bed romp classifieds are legit, there still…
