Reactions of the Philippine government to the March 2023 UN CEDAW decision
On March 8, 2023, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women [CEDAW] issued a decision including their views and recommendations to the Philippine government calling for full reparations recognizing continuous discrimination in their country against female war survivors of World War II. The decision was made after an examination of the communication submitted by 24 members of Malaya Lolas [Free randmothers], a group of Filipino wartime sexual violence survivors. How did the Philippine government react to the 2023 CEDAW recommendations? To what extent have the reparation measures been implemented? In this research note, the past
reparation measures for Filipino WWII sexual violence/slavery victims and the attitude of the Philippine government to the “comfort women” issue will be reviewed based on the previous studies. The 2014 UN principles for reparations for conflict-related sexual violence will be utilized for evaluating the reparation measures. Then, the 2023 CEDAW recommendations and the responses to them from the Philippine government would be examined on whether they meet voices of the advocates of Filipino WWII sexual violence
and slavery survivors.departmental bulletin pape
Triangulating Securitization: Analyzing Media Frames of Refugees in U.S. English and Spanish Press
In the 21st century, the framing of migration as a security issue has intensified,
particularly in the U.S. media. Thus, this study investigated how U.S. newspapers, both national and local, in English and Spanish, framed refugees and asylum seekers from
2016 to 2020, revealing patterns of securitization through a "triangulation" of frames: sovereignty, meritocracy, and responsibility. Analyzing 75 headlines, totaling 675 words (including 120 in Spanish), the study identified key terms such as "border," "Trump," and "crisis," as well as rhetorical devices including implication, vagueness, and irony. English headlines often focused on Middle Eastern and European crises, while Spanish headlines emphasized Latin American issues, notably Venezuelan refugees. Additionally, the contrast between local and national headlines highlights differences in framing priorities.
Understanding these evolving frames is essential for grasping the broader narrative rather than just isolated segments. It highlights how these frames shape and reflect our evolving understanding of refugees and asylum seekers. Moreover, given the significant influence of U.S. media on public opinion and policy, understanding how these media outlets portray refugees also reveals critical insights into the evolving discourse.departmental bulletin pape
Studies of Trends and Issues in Domestic Research on Social Care and School
本研究では,社会的養護と学校に関する国内文献を概観し,研究課題を明確にするための文献研究を行うことを目的とした。キーワードとして「社会的養護」「児童養護施設」「里親」「養子」と「学校」を用い,約10年間の文献を分析した。結果,「里親」や「養子」と「学校」を対象とした研究が非常に
少ないこと,論考や実践報告が多く調査研究が少ないことが明らかになった。今後の研究課題として,①全国規模の実態調査,②里親や(特別)養子縁組家庭で暮らす子どもと「学校」に対する調査研究,③児童養護施設―学校の連携・協働という視点以外の調査研究,④学校関係専門職を対象とした調査研
究という4 つが提案された。The present study was undertaken in order to discuss previous studies on social care and school in order to identify future research questions related to this topic. Using the keywords ‘Social care’, ‘Children’s home’, ‘Foster carers’, ‘Adopted children’ and ‘School’, I analyzed literature spanning approximately 10 years. As a result, it became clear that the issues extracted by this study were that there were very few studies on relationship between ‘Foster carers’, ‘Adopted children’ and ‘School’, and that there were many practice reports and few survey researches using questionnaire and interview methods for any of the keywords. It was suggested that four future research topics were identified: (i) Nationwide fact-finding surveys, (ii) Study examining the relationship between school life and children living in foster care and (special) adoptive
families, (iii) Researches on this topic other than from the perspective of cooperation and collaboration between children’s homes and schools, and (iv) Researches targeting school-related professionals such as school counselors and school social workers.departmental bulletin pape
