Petition to Declare Public Sex Offender Registration in the United States a Violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)
Today, approximately one-million people in the United States are forced to register as “sex offenders”. The label leads to stigmatization, separation from society, loss of employment, loss of housing and even exposure to violence at the hands of vigilantes. The stigmatization extends to the spouses, children, family, friends, employer and anyone that associates with the registrant. The isolation, shame, stress, fear of violence, loss of income and other psychological effects are experienced by the entire household.
Thanks for the clarification on the “abiding, lodging or residing” part. Otherwise, they could claim we failed to list places like the grocery store as “temporary residences” since the total (aggregate) time we would have to spend there during a year would certainly add up to more than three days.
