Potluck: Noon AWC Clubhouse This year the AWC has continued with its annual fundraising Helping Handbag Auction with the proceeds going to the FAWCO Target Project: Free the Girls. With the generosity of our AWC Members, we raised an all-time high of € 3,000 (see page 22 for further details and photos). Another important fundraising event for the AWC is its annual Holiday Bazaar. In ad- dition to being a successful fundraising two-day event, it is a fun, high-energy event with unique items for sale, our famous AWC bake stall, wonderful raffle items and even our very own Santa Claus who gets us into the holiday spirit! Leading up to the Sinterklaas holiday, there is the annual AWC gift bag workshop. Small toys, sweets and goodies are collected, packaged in holiday bags and delivered to 85 children ranging from babies to teenagers. The Morgenster Food Bank was our beneficiary last year and was also the recipient of our Food Drive Collections the year before. The AWC ladies are again hands-on in making a difference in the lives of those children from extremely poor backgrounds whose families rely heavily on this Food Bank. In 2007, the AWC began the Heart Pillow Project, currently overseen by Eileen Baker. Over 1,000 pillow sets have been distributed to breast cancer patients at local hospitals: Bronovo, Leiden LUMC, MCH Antoniushove and MCH Westeinde.

  • Going Dutch Drug Policy at the Crossroads
    POLICY ESSAY DRUG MARKET CONFLICTS IN AMSTERDAM Going Dutch Drug Policy at the Crossroads Craig Reinarman University of California—Santa Cruz ince the 1970s, Dutch drug law and policy have moved away from punitive prohi- bition toward a harm reduction model, with the objective of minimizing the harms S associated with both drug abuse and drug policy. Scott Jacques, Richard Rosenfeld, Richard Wright, and Frank van Gemert (2016, this issue) investigate whether the de facto decriminalization of cannabis in the Netherlands, with its semi-licit system of licensed retail sales in “coffeeshops,” reduces the crime and violence often found in illicit drug markets. I say “de facto decriminalization” and “semi-licit system” because, as the authors note, the Dutch have made it effectively legal for anyone older than 18 years of age to walk in the front door of coffeeshops and buy small amounts of cannabis, but it remains illegal to bring supplies of that cannabis in the back door of coffeeshops. This “back door problem,” as the Dutch call it, has caused trouble for coffeeshop owners and growers and no shortage of debate in Parliament. But for decades, coffeeshops have functioned reasonably well within this legally ambiguous space, with cannabis finding its way to consumers with few problems and little policing. To contextualize Jacques et al.’s (2016) contribution, it may be useful to recall how cannabis was criminalized and why the Dutch departure from criminalization is historically significant. Until the Netherlands shifted its drug policy toward harm reduction (avant la lettre) in 1976, cannabis was prohibited around the world on pain of criminal punish- ment (Levine, 2003).

    Healers on the colonial market Healers on the colonial market is one of the few studies on the Healers on the Dutch East Indies from a postcolonial perspective. It provides an enthralling addition to research on both the history of the Dutch East Indies and the history of colonial medicine. This book will be colonial market of interest to historians, historians of science and medicine, and anthropologists. Native doctors and midwives How successful were the two medical training programmes in the Dutch East Indies established in Jakarta by the colonial government in 1851? One was a medical school for Javanese boys, and the other a school for midwives for Javanese girls, and the graduates were supposed to replace native healers, the dukun. However, the indigenous Native doctors and midwives in the Dutch East Indies population was not prepared to use the services of these doctors and midwives. Native doctors did in fact prove useful as vaccinators and assistant doctors, but the school for midwives was closed in 1875. Even though there were many horror stories of mistakes made during dukun-assisted deliveries, the school was not reopened, and instead a handful of girls received practical training from European physicians. Under the Ethical Policy there was more attention for the welfare of the indigenous population and the need for doctors increased. More native boys received medical training and went to work as general practitioners. Nevertheless, not everybody accepted these native doctors as the colleagues of European physicians. Liesbeth Hesselink (1943) received a PhD in the history of medicine from the University of Amsterdam in 2009.

DRAFT October 19, 2010 CLINICAL LEGAL EDUCATION IN DUTCH LEGAL CULTURE: CLASHES OF TRADITION, TOLERANCE AND PROGRESS IN GLOBAL LAW’S CAPITAL Richard J. Wilson* Abstract This paper examines the current context of legal education within Dutch legal culture as a case study focusing on the growing role of clinical legal education in the Netherlands, a progressive country in Western Europe, where traditional legal education has held sway for centuries. The Dutch experience with clinical legal education, though limited, is expanding even as the traditional apprenticeship phase of law training there is undergoing major reform, responsive to the growth of “big law.” These reforms are largely attributable to a history of innovation and openness in Dutch legal culture, one dimension of which is the general acknowledgement that the Netherlands has become the international law capital of the world.
