Maria da Penha – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Maria da Penha Maia Fernandes

Penha, é a mulher que deu visibilidade aos casos de violência doméstica e familiar no Brasil, e que nos mostra o quanto continua sendo importante metermos a colher em briga de marido e mulher ” – e que apesar das muitas dificuldades que a mulher encontra muitas vezes para fazer valer o seu direito, aqui refiro-me à violência, que ela nunca pare de lutar, porque o exemplo que deixas é que todas podem contar a sua própria história, como diz: ” Sobrevivi…Posso Contar “. Acredite: você também pode.

Russia hands out first convictions in connection with anti-LGBT law

Courts begin convicting people displaying symbols associated with ‘LGBT movement’ designated as extremist last year

Two Russian courts have this week handed out the first convictions in connection with what the government calls the “international LGBT social movement” which was designated as extremist last year.

On Thursday, a court in the southern region of Volgograd found a man guilty of “displaying the symbols of an extremist organisation” after he posted a photograph of an LGBT flag online, according to the court’s press service.

The man, known only as Artyom P, who was ordered to pay a fine of 1,000 roubles (£8.69), admitted guilt and repented, saying he had posted the image “out of stupidity”, the court said.

On Monday, a court in Nizhny Novgorod, east of Moscow, sentenced a woman to five days in administrative detention for wearing frog-shaped earrings displaying an image of a rainbow, according to Aegis, an LGBT rights group.
