    Berano, Erlie R.; Bolinas, Nicollete A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2015-06)
    Human trafficking is considered as one of the most rampant and pervasive crime because of its transnational nature. The increasing statistics of human trafficking cases is alarming thus the call for a more stable and strong intervention policies and initiatives against human trafficking. Our study pondered on the existing intervention policies and initiatives against human trafficking focusing on sexual exploitation. The main argument of this study rests on the following questions. First, what are the existing intervention policies and initiatives against human trafficking for sex. Second, on whether and how identified challenges such as victim identification, public awareness and underground transactions affect the implementation of the policies and programs. And lastly, how is the level of community participation despite the presence of existing challenges. The researchers employed a Process Theory Integration that entails to merge different theories from different discipline in order to interpret the data gathered. The different theories used by the researchers are Economic Theory to explain the presence of underground transactions Prospect theory to give details on public awareness and Consent Theory to elucidate on the topic of victim identification. Data gathering in this study ranged from the use of secondary data, community profiling, key informant interviews and participant observation. The observed findings show that the implementation of the existing policies and programs against human trafficking are greatly affected by the identified challenges. Furthermore, there is low level of conununity participation however the citizens are willing to help in tire implementation process. The actors that are involved in combating human trafficking should review the policies for possible loopholes and strictly implement the ordinances and programs

    They called me a slut: The process of shaming and its influence on the self-concept and sexual reputation of teenage girls
    Bahinting, Grace Katrina F. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2017-06)
    This phenomenological study explored women’s slut-shaming experiences in school, how they managed the ‘slut’ label and how the label influenced their selfconcept and sexual reputation. Three college students from Bacolod City, Negros Occidental were interviewed for this project. The participants aged 18-23 years have experienced slut-shaming incidents in school. The methodology for this study consisted of conducting in-depth interviews exploring the slut-shaming experiences of the participants and Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale to measure the participants’ current self-esteem. The data gathered on the experiences encountered by slut-shamed girls were recorded, transcribed and analyzed using the Bedevilment and Labeling Process by John Curra (1994). The results of the study showed that factors which led to slut-shaming includes individual characteristics, flirting style and sexual activity. Two forms of slut-shaming experiences in school emerged from the data gathered: being gossiped and ostracism. Furthermore, the label management of the participants which includes embracing, ignoring and moving away from the label, were influenced by the degree of importance of the labellers and the girls' own perception of a slut. The data showed that the shamed individuals had positive and negative self-concept after shaming and was seen as someone who was sexually dirty. In conclusion, the influence of shaming to the girls’ self-concept varies depending on how the shamed individual manages the slut label.

    Arnaldo, Hazel Joy J.; Eliseo, Vargas F., Jr. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-03)
    This study explored the perception of Ilonggo college students on sexual aggression. This was approached with the attempt to generate an Ilonggo youth culture definition and concept of sexual aggression. Four focus group discussions were conducted among varied gender groups (males, females, gays and lesbians). A total of 22 participants between 17-21 years old, from different colleges and universities in Iloilo and were either experienced in dating relationships or not. Results showed that sexual aggression, for these Ilonggo college students, is naturally occuring in dating relationships. There are specific behaviors enacted as sexual aggression in conducive environments, and that coercion is part of the sex play in which one must initiate and the recipient will follow whether he/she likes it or not. There are also gender differences and specific Filipino traits in determining perceived susceptibility to sexual aggression.
