“…With the objective of identifying actions that can build more inclusive workplaces for religious minorities, we conducted a literature review using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) to provide further scientific evidence. Systematic reviews have been popular in health care research (Moher et al 2009), but social sciences researchers have increasingly used them as well (Puigvert et al 2022) due to their potential in gathering and analyzing evidence in an accurate and reliable way (Liberati et al 2009). PRISMA guidelines delimitate four stages in the systematic review: identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion.…”

The current secular models are putting strain on religious diversity in the context of the workplace. With religious diversity growing in European societies and the visible expression of religious beliefs and behaviors, tensions have arisen linked to the rise of xenophobia. The scientific literature shows that religious minorities are discriminated in the workplace, especially Muslim women that wear Islamic veils. Nonetheless, the people pertaining to these religious minorities have agency, and they can overcome this discrimination. This paper presents the results of a systematic literature review of scientific articles published in SCOPUS and Web of Science using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA). The review focuses on the management of religious diversity in labor contexts, especially regarding Muslim women wearing Islamic veils. The results identify some successfully implemented actions that contribute to more inclusive workplaces for religious minorities, especially for Muslim women wearing Islamic veils. Some of these actions are implemented from the employee perspective and include networking and mentoring, while others are implemented from a company perspective and are related to the creation of management styles that place people in the center. The crucial role that politics plays is also briefly discussed.

“…Prior victimization has been identified as a key risk factor for sex trafficking (Franchino-Olsen, 2021;Reid et al, 2017), as well as labor trafficking (De Vries & Farrell, 2018). There is a strong link between trafficking and earlier child maltreatment, including child sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, emotional and physical neglect, and family violence, with estimates of around a quarter to over half of survivors reporting exposure to earlier violence or abuse (Franchino-Olsen, 2021;Hopper, 2017a;Hopper & Gonzalez, 2018;Kiss, Yun, et al, 2015;Oram et al, 2012Puigvert et al, 2021;Reid et al, 2017;Roe-Sepowitz, 2012).…”

In order to confront a problem, it is crucial to understand it. Many fields of psychology-including community, social, clinical, counseling, developmental, school, and industrial and organizational psychology, among others-can contribute insights into the circumstances and dynamics that make individuals and communities vulnerable to human trafficking, as well as protective factors that decrease risk. These insights establish the groundwork for primary prevention efforts that proactively address risk, secondary prevention programs that guide identification and early response to incidents of human trafficking, and tertiary prevention responses that aim to reduce the incidence of recidivism and revictimization and mitigate its long-term impacts.Psychologist Urie Bronfenbrenner first developed the concept of a "socioecological model" in the late 1970s to describe how individuals affect, and are shaped by, a complex network of social influences and layered environmental contexts (Bronfenbrenner, 1979). Individuals are affected by both their immediate environments (e.g., families, schools, work settings, communities) and the larger social contexts within which these environments are embedded. Scientists are learning more about how social determinants of health-including social, economic, environmental, and structural

“…These tendencies may be a function of poor caregiving or, at the very least, signal a strained relationship with caregivers. In either case, caregiver support of the adolescent, including during a criminal case, may be unlikely (Puigvert et al, 2021). Documenting whether caregiver support is mentioned in both types of successfully prosecuted cases would be of considerable interest and might suggest avenues for further research on methods of improving prosecution outcomes.…”

Successful Criminal Prosecutions of Sex Trafficking and Sexual Abuse of Minors: A Comparative Analysis

et al. 2023

Despite increased awareness of sex trafficking of minors in the U.S., prosecution of traffickers remains difficult, in part because of victim uncooperativeness. There are questions about how that uncooperativeness is expressed, whether it is evident in successfully prosecuted cases, and whether it is unique to trafficked minors or it emerges in similar age victims of sexual abuse. To provide insight relevant to these questions, we compared appellate opinions in two types of successfully prosecuted criminal cases: sex trafficking and sexual abuse of adolescent victims. In the trafficking opinions, victims were rarely described as disclosing on their own or as knowing their trafficker before the victimization. The opinions also often alluded to the trafficking victims’ uncooperativeness and delinquency history, and frequently mentioned electronic evidence and prosecution experts. The sexual abuse opinions, in contrast, tended to suggest that victims’ own disclosures initiated the case, perpetrators were known and trusted adults, and caregiver support during the case was common. Finally, the sexual abuse opinions never explicitly mentioned victim uncooperativeness or electronic evidence and rarely mentioned expert testimony or delinquency. The different characterizations of the two case types highlight the need for improved education concerning effective prosecution of sex crimes against minors.
