“Você está ficando louca”

Violence against women is: “any action or conduct that results in physical, psychological and sexual damage, in the private or public sphere”.

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Ser mulher não é fácil. Mais ainda, ser mulher numa sociedade, onde você compreende que tem tanta desigualdade, e pelo fato de ser mulher, você tem que lutar por seus direitos, ao mesmo tempo que, tem que aprender a enfrentar as adversidades. Estas, na sua maioria, resultantes de um passando de negação. Além do mais, temos que ter coragem para, talvez ‘diminuir as barreiras’ que certifica parte de nossa dessas diferenças, e de toda omissão de direitos que tivemos. Historicamente, temos que enfrentar esse dilema, e assim conseguir escolher os nossos próprios caminhos. Ora, escolher os nossos caminhos é sem dúvida é um ato ‘ desafiador ‘ e, especialmente quando se nota que a herança relacionada a questões de luta é grande. Por isso, mais do que nunca, devemos combater a violência, o preconceito, o desprestígio explícito – que ainda temos em relação a algumas questões.

Ora, refletir sobre a…

Nacionalni park Josemiti, SAD – Yosemite National Park, USA

Although Yellowstone became the first national park in 1872, the Yosemite Valley and the redwood forest at Mariposa were declared on June 30, 1864. year with an inalienable part of the public heritage and a document signed by President Lincoln. Later, worried about the influx of gold diggers and their exploitation in the Sierra Nevada, naturalist, poet and mountaineer John Moore persuaded President Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt to grant Yosemite the status of a national park. The first tourists arrived on October 1, 1890 to admire the area that inspired generations of artists and writers.

Jedna od najčuvenijih fotografija majstora Ansela Adamsa nosi naziv “Monolit, Hafdoum” i prikazuje liticu koja se nadvija nad dolinom Josemiti. Da bi dobio pogled na ovu gromadu kao da se udaljava od nje, Adams je morao da svoju tešku opremu nosi do same ivice granitne polukupole Hafdouma (Half Dome). Upravo tog dana, u zimu 1927. godine, Adams je odlučio da svoj život posveti fotografiji, zbog čega je narednih 30 godina života proveo u dolini Josemiti. Ovaj zapanjujući kanjon, koji su vjerovatno otkrili prvi naseljenici 1833. godine, izdubljen je radom rijeke Mersed kroz granit Sijera Nevade, i takmiči se s podjednako čuvenim Jeloustonom za naziv prve zaštićene oblasti u istoriji. Iako je Jelouston postao prvi nacionalni park 1872. godine, dolina Josemiti i šuma sekvoje u Maripozi proglašene su 30. juna 1864. godine neotuđivim dijelom javne baštine i to dokumentom koji je potpisao predsjednik Linkoln. Kasnije, zabrinut zbog navale kopača zlata i…

Open Thread | We Must Support Kristen Clarke | 3CHICSPOLITICO

Garland, who is Jewish, shot down Lee’s charge. “I’ve read, in the last few days, these allegations about Kristen Clarke, who I’ve also gotten to know. Who I also trust. Who I believe is a person of integrity,” Garland responded. Pressed again, he added with some heat, “I’m a pretty good judge of what an anti-Semite is, and I do not believe that she is an anti-Semite. And I do not believe that she is discriminatory in any sense.” (For the record, neither does the Anti-Defamation League.)

As I write this, the homepage of the opposition-research site Bidennoms.com, a link recently tweeted by Ted Cruz, “spotlights” two nominees with photos on their homepage: Clarke and Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, who’s been nominated to run Medicare and Medicaid — both Black women.

“It’s impossible not to notice that women of color seem to be drawing fire for the wrong reasons,” says Justin Levitt, a Loyola Law School professor and former Civil Rights division official. National Women’s Law Center president Fatima Goss Graves told me, “These types of campaigns against women of color, and the language that is being used, to portray these nominees as ‘radical’ are not being levied against men.”

In Myanmar’s hinterland, army uproots ethnic Karen villagers – The Washington Post

In the jungles of southeast Myanmar, the army was shooting and otherwise tyrannizing civilians long before last month’s military coup.

This largely unseen oppression continues even now. In the country’s remote southeast, an army offensive has driven as many as 8,000 ethnic Karen people to flee their homes in what aid groups say is the worst upheaval there for nearly 10 years.

They’re now living in the jungle, with fears growing for their health and security, and no prospect of an early return.

This crisis in the borderlands has been overshadowed by the deadly crackdown on the mass movement protesting the military’s takeover of power from the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi.

But it also is a reminder of the brutal force Myanmar’s army has long used against civilians, and in particular the country’s ethnic minorities.

Bringing Myanmar back from the abyss | East Asia Forum

That ‘constitutional fig leaf’, as Melissa Crouch called it, has been replaced with images of soldiers firing live rounds into the crowds of anti-coup protesters. It’s estimated that over 200 people have already been killed, and there’s no sign that the violence will abate soon.

Myanmar’s neighbours, its fellow ASEAN members, and the international community are worried — some out of genuine horror at the military’s brutality, and all because they understand that the consequences of Myanmar’s socio-political dysfunction are liable to extend across its borders.

Thailand is preparing for an influx of refugees across its long and porous border with Myanmar, which has been a source of refugees and irregular migrants for decades. Thailand must be supported to help those fleeing violence; at the same time, it has a legitimate interest in controlling the flow of Myanmar nationals into its territory amid the COVID-19 pandemic. India is to a lesser extent likely to see a flow of refugees from Myanmar.
