OLATHE SENIOR TAKES LEGISLATIVE LOOK AT HUMAN 1xbet sports betting , ORGANIZES STOP SLAVERY SUMMIT
MANHATTAN -- A Kansas State University senior is taking her research on human 1xbet sports betting outside the classroom and comparing it to existing Kansas laws.
Ariel 1xbet sports betting , senior in pre-law and criminology, Olathe, has been conducting research on human 1xbet sports betting since her freshman year at K-State. Specifically she's investigating what the government, nonprofit organizations and student initiatives are doing about the issue. More recently her research has focused on laws in Kansas that coincide with human 1xbet sports betting .
&1xbet sports betting ;We're finding that prostitution laws in Kansas contradict statutory rape laws,&1xbet sports betting ; Anib said. &1xbet sports betting ;If you are sex trafficked and you're being forced to prostitute, you're being prosecuted for prostitution rather than being treated as a minor who has been raped.&1xbet sports betting ;
1xbet sports betting also has been researching legislation in other states that could be implemented in Kansas, specifically the New York Safe Harbor for Exploited Children Act that directly fights human trafficking.
&1xbet sports betting ;We're trying to see what it would look like if a law like that were passed in Kansas,&1xbet sports betting ; Anib said. &1xbet sports betting ;However, passing a whole new law is a lot of work and takes a lot of time. So now we're trying to look more in depth at existing laws in Kansas to see if there's one that combats human trafficking but isn't being used. Perhaps there's an amendment we can make to a current law to help fight the issue.&1xbet sports betting ;
1xbet sports betting plans to further her research by interviewing various law enforcement officials, attorneys and nonprofit organizations in the state to raise awareness and create a collaborative effort to fight the issue of human trafficking.
In conjunction with her research, 1xbet sports betting is organizing an awareness event about human trafficking called Stop Slavery Summit 2011. The event is sponsored by K-Staters that Care, an organization she founded that brings together several on-campus groups that are impacting K-State but that have very limited resources. The organization sponsors an event each year to raise awareness about an issue of choice.
The Stop Slavery Summit 2011 will be April 6-8 and will feature a variety of on-campus events, including guest lecturers, a benefit concert, a memorial walk and a rave to save.
1xbet sports betting said she hopes the summit and her research will continue to raise awareness about human trafficking and make people realize that they are the solution.
&1xbet sports betting ;One of my biggest hopes is that people in Kansas, and especially at K-State, will realize that human trafficking is a problem and that it affects them,&1xbet sports betting ; she said. &1xbet sports betting ;As university students, I think we can go one of two ways: we are either apathetic and think it doesn't affect us; or we go the opposite way and say, 'Oh, my gosh, there's so much stuff around us that's going on.'
&1xbet sports betting ;I just want to draw the attention of my fellow students to this issue and show them we're the ones who have to do something about it.&1xbet sports betting ;
1xbet sports betting is in K-State's Developing Scholars Program and is conducting her research with Nadezda Shapkina, assistant professor of sociology. 1xbet sports betting is a 2008 graduate of Olathe East High School.
