Several researchers have examined the link between childhood maltreatment and DSH. Theoretically, childhood maltreatment is linked to the persistence of perceiving the self as a victim ([Christine Wekerle], Miller, Wolfe & Spindel, 2006). In this regard, DSH may constitute a form of self-victimization, which could arise from an individual acting out caregiver-to-child injury or failing to be selfprotecting and self-nurturing. One might speculate that the former would be more likely related to invasive maltreatment (e.g., physical or sexual abuse) and the latter more passive maltreatment (e.g., neglect). The extant literature suggests that maltreatment is a correlate of self-harm in both clinical and nonclinical samples. For example, [Gratz] (2006) found that childhood maltreatment w...

Human trafficking is a global human rights issue that has profound and tragic repercussions for millions of women and children every year. In North America, Canada is currently a destination for victims of trafficking, and a transit route into the United States. Traffickers have exploited the open border between the United States and Canada to perpetuate a modern form of slavery that forces oppressed women and children into forced labour and/or prostitution. Currently, Canada has no formal policy or program to provide protection, assistance, and services to victims. A multidimensional approach to combating human trafficking is necessary in Canada, with legislation that provides protection to victims escaping the web of trafficking.

Slavery was a dominant phenomenon of antiquity. Gradually it has declined in the modern world. The blessings of modern moral attitudes and virtues were instrumental for these structural changes. Recently, child trafficking, especially female child trafficking has become a painful reality in Bangladesh. This child trafficking has been occurring internally and also across the border to India, Pakistan, Malaysia and many Middle Eastern countries. The rate of growth of this trafficking has been increasing alarmingly in this country. Every year several hundred (under the age of eighteen) children are being trafficked abroad. These trafficked children are adapting to a new life style which is different from the life style had they lived in their normal (life style which they supposed to follo...
