Domestic violence is the leading cause of homelessness among women and children. According to a 1997 survey of ten cities in the United States, 57% of homeless families left their homes due to domestic abuse (ACLU, 2008). One of the reasons that victims of domestic violence constitute a significant portion of the homeless population is the "zero tolerance" or "one-strike" policies of landlords. These policies authorize landlords to evict tenants once violence transpires in their residences, regardless of whether the tenant is responsible for or is the victim of domestic abuse. What is more, the adoption and enforcement of these policies often forces victims of domestic violence to choose between remaining with their abusive partners or homelessness. Some choose the former, but a far greater number choose the latter. Although the United States Congress challenged the culture of victim blaming among landlords with the passage of the 2005 Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), this law exclusively regulates the eviction practices of subsidized housing. The purpose of this paper is to explore the legislative origins of victim blaming among landlords, examine the various housing problems that domestic violence victims face, and outline the resources that battered women need in order to avoid homelessness.

In 2006, the Chinese government released its first ever Africa policy paper. In the document, the government of China announced its plans to forge a strong and enduring relationship with Africa on the basis of four ideals: mutual tolerance despite differing ideologies, cooperation in international politics, economic intercourse predicated upon fairness, and observance of Africa's right to choose its own path to economic development.[1] This document, along with the third Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (or FOCAC) (at which more than forty-five African leaders gathered to discuss the future of China-Africa relations), served as a springboard for future Chinese engagement in Africa.[2] Four years later, in 2010, trade between China and Africa exceeded $120 billion.[3] Nevertheless, China was not alone in its quest to build a presence in one of the world's largest and most populous continents. In April 2008, India, following in China's footsteps, held the first India-Africa summit in New Delhi, thus creating a new bond between India and Africa. Subsequently, India unveiled a number of initiatives, including a "$5.4 billion concessionary credit line over the next five years and duty-free access of India's total tariff lines, with a unilateral granting of preferential duty access to 9% of India's total tariff lines for Africa's 34 least developed countries."[4] The purpose of this paper is to examine the scope of "Chindia's" recent engagement in Africa. As well, the aim of this paper is to suggest that while countries in Africa should welcome aid from Asian nations, they should also exercise their bargaining power to (1) limit or actively regulate infrastructure projects, (2) condemn the adoption of economic policies that threaten their domestic markets, and (3) implore "Chindia" to help them address the socioeconomic and public health challenges that inhibit long-term economic growth.
