Rechtfertigung des Verschleierungsgebots für Frauen im Islam. (Unibibl. Tü)

There is not much doubt that democracy is better than other forms of governments but a theoretical debate is there on whether democracy can be enforced to all societies. The scholars, who advocate democracy as a 'universal value' believes that a country should not wait to be prepared or build a culture for 'democracy' and start running the country under this system. But the 'Rights of Democracy' is not as simple as other parts of the International Human Rights doctrine such a child rights, labour rights or anti poverty rights. If 'democracy' is counted as a 'universal value' and gets included in the International Human Rights doctrine it will seek protection against the violation of this right and the international community will get involved to enforce this right. The International concern for upholding democracy in a country may create conflicting issues with the sovereignty of that particular country. In many cases it was observed that the International concern (or it can be called as Western Concern) for 'democracy' was motivated by the economic and strategic interests. If 'democracy' is imposed from outside or forced to any society it will violate the society's right of self determination. And in some countries it had produced a 'hybrid' or an 'incompletely democratic' regime. In this perspective instead of enforcing 'democracy' to all societies the 'right of collective self-determination' might be the better choice for International Human Rights to regulate the political constitutions of the societies.

Although Bangladesh is a constitutionally Islamic country, some brothels are regulated by state law. But these brothels are located in the suburbs, and there were legal brothels around the capital, which no longer exist. Thus, prostitution is observed in a variety of ways, including in residential hotels, resorts, homes, and open spaces. As prostitution and trafficking are inseparable, this paper adopts a quantitative approach to measure the socioeconomic variables associated with prostitution and trafficking in children in the capital city of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The data for this study were collected from 385 respondents, and the questionnaire format was open-ended. The proposed conceptual model is presented in a way that includes sociocultural and economic factors influencing prostitution. To examine the model, a three-level research design was applied. The sociodemographic data of the respondents were collected and analyzed in this study. This study finds that the significant economic factors are poverty and lack of employment opportunities. Moreover, sociocultural variables are closely associated with rape, harassment, divorce, insufficient support from household members, living in vulnerable conditions, social instability, lifestyle, and gender violence. These findings emphasize the need to implement existing anti-trafficking laws and raise awareness of children in Bangladesh to stop child trafficking for sex work.
