Marital Rape Exemption in Kenya: Some Lessons from International Law
There is no doubt that, despite arguments supporting marital rape exemption, it is necessary to abolish marital rape exemption in our modern society which is characterized by many sexually transmitted infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS. As Kenyan society is based on the principle of equality between men and woman, marital rape with impunity has no place. Kenya has to take some steps aimed at ending a conflict between the Sexual Offenses Act and the HIV and AIDS Prevention and Control Act in order to achieve its goals of equality and freedom from discrimination. International law has shed some light on the subject by indicating that marital rape constitutes violence against women and that Kenya should follow suit and criminalize it. However, it must be noted that the criminalization of marital rape will not provide a complete solution to the problem but only a partial solution. The root of the problem is most likely situated in poverty and the social context. Further research and public education is thus necessary into the key factors relating to the behavior of marital rape.
Criminalizing Marital Rape: A Comparison of Judicial and Legislative Approaches
Even though many countries still permit husbands to rape their wives with little or no consequence, there is a growing trend that marital exemption is unjust and has no place in a civilized society. Recognition of the inappropriateness of marital exemption is, however, only the first step towards its elimination. To effectively equalize treatment of marital and non-marital rape, legislatures and judiciaries must take action. Several countries have already been host to the abolition of marital immunity, but their approaches may not be the most effective. This Note examines the experiences of England and Canada as examples of judicial and legislative abolition of marital exemption, respectively. The Author explores several factors that would lead to effective change, including timely alignment with societal morals, thorough and thoughtful consideration of the issues, and legitimacy in the eyes of citizens. After reviewing the effectiveness of approaches such as those employed in England and Canada, the Author argues that an even better method would rely on equal protection provisions found in state constitutions and international treaties.
Concept design of solar cell satellite dish
Solar panels are devices that consist of solar cells that convert light into electricity. They are called solar on the Sun or “sol” because the Sun is the strongest light source that can be utilized. Solar panels are often called photovoltaic cells, photovoltaic can be interpreted as “light-electricity”. Solar cells or PV cells depend on the photovoltaic effect to absorb the Sun’s energy and cause currents to flow between two opposing charged layers. The purpose of this study is to analyze the satellite dish using solar panels, so this tool is a signal search tool that uses solar energy to run to carry out its functions. As we know that many places or areas that are still often experiencing power outages so that it can hamper and interfere with community activities. Therefore, this research wants to facilitate the public, especially the current generation who need electricity every day so that when there is a power outage, the satellite dish will utilize solar energy as its main source. This research uses a satellite dish as an intermediary to produce electrical energy with the help of solar energy and is collected into a high-voltage battery in the form of electricity, so that it becomes a source of electricity.
