“A ministry of ethnic affairs is of vital importance for the future of the union, which needs peace, development and sustainability,” Htin Kyaw told the nation in his first address since the National League for Democracy (NLD) won last year’s elections. Ethnic clashes in the country have displaced over 240,000 people in Myanmar’s northern Kachin state, where rebels are fighting the army. The western Rakhine state in Myanmar has also been riddled with violence against the Rohingya Muslims, which Myanmar considers as immigrants from neighboring Bangladesh. On Monday, the United Nations refugee agency, UNHCR, said thousands of Rohingyas, who had fled their homes after violence broke out in 2012, were going back. The agency’s regional spokeswoman, Vivian Tan, told Reuters news agency that the number of refugees in camps in Rakhine state had gone down to 120,000 from 145,000 in the last days.
Fifty years after Frida Kahlo died in her home in Mexico City, her most private rooms were finally opened to the public, revealing a trove of diaries, letters, and hundreds of clothes still perfumed by paint and cigarettes. When the items became available to the Frida Kahlo Museum in 2004, the brocade corsets and hand-embroidered silk skirts were rumored to grow heavy at night, as if her spirit had returned to wear them.Fashion was as much a part of Kahlo’s paintings as her daily life: She spent hours in front of the mirror getting dressed and loved shopping at department stores as much as the shops in San Francisco’s Chinatown. The book Frida Kahlo: Fashion As the Art of Being, out March 22 from Assouline, juxtaposes Kahlo’s clothing with the fashion and designers she has continued to influence for decades.While artists and magazine editors have reproduced her bold style countless times (some featuring linen skirts, thick eyebrows, and hair adorned in flowers), she has more recently influenced designers like Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy, Dolce & Gabbana, and Carolina Herrera. Her corsets inspired Madonna’s famed “cone” bustier, designed by Jean Paul Gaultier for her 1990 Blond Ambition tour. Click ahead for a glimpse at her influence over the years.
Following her release, Salgado appeared at a press conference hosted by the Miguel Agustin Pro Human Rights Center in Mexico City. The newly-released prisoner urged freedom for other jailed CRAC members and “500 political prisoners,” criticized media manipulation and educational policies, backed the movement for the 43 Ayotzinapa students, and demanded respect for Mexico’s original peoples. “I only want to tell Mr. Pena Nieto to respect our peoples and our community police, because we have shown that we don’t defend delinquents,” Salgado said. “I ask for support for our indigenous peoples and respect for their rights, and that so much injustice not be permitted.” Nestora Salgado is expected to return to the United States for medical treatment.
Ms Mardini is among 43 athletes chosen by the International Olympics Committee to potentially form a multinational team of refugees in Rio. But it has been a death-defying move from the Mediterranean to training in an Olympic-sized pool. In the summer of 2015, Ms Mardini and her sister Sarah, 20, climbed into a rubber dinghy in Turkey bound for the Greek island of Lesbos. Twenty people were packed onboard and “only three could swim,” she said. When the boat began taking water, Ms Mardini and her sister plunged into the sea. Each holding on to one side of the rubber boat, the sisters swam with just an arm each, tugging the vessel along. “It was awful in the beginning but we thought it would be a shame if we didn’t help the people who were onboard with us,” Ms Mardini recalled. We thought it would be a shame if we didn’t help the people who were onboard with us. Yusra Mardini, refugee After several hours they finally reached Greek shores at dawn. “Baba, we did it! We are in Greece!” they screamed down the phone to their father, Ezzat Mardini, 45, who was then a refugee in Jordan.

Hejjegalu (The Footsteps) – The Journey of JMS, Raichur JANUARY 27, 2016 2:51 PM / LEAVE A COMMENT Hejjegalu (The Footsteps) Duration: 26 minutes Language; Kannada with English Subtitles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDeoA7GJDhQ This short documentary film captures the story of a Dalit Madiga Women’s Collective, Jagrutha Mahila Sanghatane, Potnal. It traces the footsteps of a social experiment aimed at catalysing the birth of a grassroots Dalit women’s voice to resist,the hegemonies of caste, class and gender. The Dalit madiga women agricultural laborers used the twin principles of sangharsh (struggle) and navnirman (reconstruction) to harness their collective strength to question caste and gender-based oppression and violence while also ushering in a new dawn of dignity and justice. The film is a tribute to the indomitable spirit, resolve and ingenuity of Dalit madiga women as they continue to confront gender, caste and class oppression and provide a shining illustration of meaningful human development work. Film concept and production: Vijaya Kumar. S
It’s Bente Navaerdal’s job to check on the vault. When she first came to Svalbard, she thought she would stay just three years, but it didn’t take long before the remote Arctic archipelago had a hold on her. “I felt it the moment I landed at the airport, ‘Yeah, this is my place on Earth’,” she says. An engineer, she is now into her fourth year on Svalbard and has no intention of leaving anytime soon. “I hope that in three, four, five years I can feel like, ‘OK, now I am finished with Svalbard and I can go back [to the mainland]’, but I’m not sure,” she says. “I’m really not sure.”
Supreme Court in a victory for abortion-rights advocates on Friday blocked Louisiana from enforcing a law that they said would have left the state with only one doctor licensed to perform the procedure. The justices, by a 7-1 vote, issued a brief order that restores an earlier judicial ban on enforcing the 2014 law. The court’s order is a good sign for abortion-rights groups in Louisiana and nationwide. Coming shortly after the justices debated a similar Texas law, the order shows a majority of the high court is unwilling to permit conservative states to enforce stringent regulations. A federal judge had blocked Louisiana from enforcing a rule that would require doctors performing abortions to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. The judge found most hospitals simply refused to consider extending these privileges to a doctor whose practice involved abortion.
Vanity is at once discouraged and encouraged in women. Among the conflicting social messages we receive, we are told that to care too much about one’s appearance denotes shallowness of character or lack of intellectual gravitas, but that to not appear pleasing is to be lacking in social graces or emotional stability. There are women who seem to be smitten by trends; there are women who establish a more individualistic style; there are women who seem to have no clear taste; there are women who frankly seem to not have an aesthetic sense – and each of them is perceived and pegged in a different way. Our wardrobes speak volumes for us. In the long history of female silencing, the wardrobe was an instrument long before the pen, which did not find its way into the majority of our hands until rather recent centuries. Little tells us more about the power of this instrument than the moral and cultural policing of women’s attire. ‘Pleasing’ – denoting acceptable attention that puts other people at ease. In India, a sari in most contexts is ‘pleasing’. It speaks of the woman’s urge to please, to appear serious, shy, subordinate, unchallenging. So why then did I find myself lodging a complaint at a Chennai hotel a few years ago because the management had assumed I was soliciting, based entirely on the fact that I had been sitting alone in the lobby in a sari? I had been waiting for my friends for a night of partying. The sari in that context was not pleasing. It was subversive. The undertone was this: women who go clubbing don’t wear saris when they do because doing so would be to insult the garment and corrupt its inherent morality by bringing it into an immoral sphere. Their lifestyles were acceptable so long as they were compartmentalised. To not compartmentalise – to confuse the decorum of the sari with the abandon of the pub – was to be profoundly lacking in morality, i.e. a whore.
