AP Newsbreak: Plaintiffs in clergy lawsuits agree to settle Boston "All 88 people who were offered arbitration to settle clergy sex abuse claims for between $5,000 and $200,000 have agreed to the settlement deal, the Archdiocese of Boston said Thursday. Arbitration hearings in the cases are scheduled to begin next week and run through April. Kelly Lynch, a spokeswoman for the archdiocese, said the 88 people were offered the chance to participate in a first round of arbitration. About 100 additional lawsuits are still pending, and the archdiocese may offer a second round of arbitration to some of those plaintiffs, Lynch said." http://www.wfsb.com/global/story.asp?s=4609139&ClientType=Printable
INT'L WOMEN'S DAY: Parliamentarians Show Prostitution the Red Card Stefania Bianchi Brussels, 3/8/06 (IPS) - The European Union marked International Women's Day Wednesday by launching a campaign against sexual exploitation of women during big sporting events. "European parliamentarians are calling on the European Commission, the European Union (EU) executive, to exert pressure on European governments to tighten border controls and step up efforts to identify women and children being moved illegally through EU countries to Germany during this summer's football World Cup.....They say every year around 100,000 women become victims of human trafficking in Europe, and fear that several thousand girls and women will be sexually exploited during the competition. The European lawmakers say most of the women engaged in the business are victims of organised crime, lured by false promises of legal work abroad, and then forced to sell their bodies....."We have a duty to shout loud, expose the disgrace of trafficking, and put the authorities under such pressure that they cannot turn a blind eye to it. Between 600,000 and 800,000 women and children are trafficked through international borders each year," she said (Mary Honeyball)." http://www.ipsnews.net/interna.asp?idnews=32425 www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
