Cada palabra forma parte de la narración o del poema, del cuento que arrulla a los niños o de las novelas que emocionan a los lectores, de los versos que enamoran y dan paz y armonía.

Maria da Penha.

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Não tem aquela história de que em briga de marido e mulher ninguém mete a colher? A Lei Maria da Penha é totalmente contra esse pensamento.”

Maria da Penha. Mulheres Incríveis.

É impressionante como muitas mulheres vivem aprisionadas em relacionamentos doentios. A sensação vivida por muitas é a de impotência. Como descreve a própria Maria da Penha quando ainda estava casada com o seu agressor. Segundo palavras dela mesma ” Não podia fazer nada para conter as agressões do marido às filhas ou a si mesma”. Às vezes, a mulher se sente sozinha e desesperada! Essa que é a realidade. Eu vejo isso nas palavras de muitas mulheres hoje. É comum, que parte destas “entregue a situação a Deus” sim – apesar da lei, parte dessas vítimas não conhecem os seus direitos. Quer dizer, essas mulheres passam por todos os tipos de violência, e pasmem – para sobreviver, elas…

Carlos Drummond de Andrade

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Não cantarei amores que não tenho,

e, quando tive, nunca celebrei.

Não cantarei o riso que não rira

e que, se risse, ofertaria a pobres.

Minha matéria é o nada.

Jamais ousei cantar algo de vida:

Se o canto sai da boca ensimesmada,

é porque a brisa o trouxe, e o leva a brisa,

nem sabe a planta o vento que a visita.

Ou sabes?Algo de nós acaso se transmite,

mas tão disperso, e vago, tão estranho,

que, se regressa a mim que o apascentava,

o ouro suposto é nele cobre e estanho, estanho e cobre,

e o que não é maleável deixa de ser nobre,

nem era amor aquilo que se amava.

Nem era dor aquilo que doía;

ou dói, agora, quando já se foi?

Que dor se sabe dor, e não se extingue?

( Não cantarei o mar: que ele se vingue

de meu silêncio, nesta concha. )

Opinion | Pushing Back Against the C.D.C.’s Easing of Covid Rules – The New York Times

As the parent of a 3-year-old, I am outraged and saddened that the C.D.C. has decided to place my child and all other children under the age of 5 at increased risk by dropping most mask requirements. My child has spent two-thirds of their young life unable to go many places, because the places were closed or because they would be around large groups of other children.

My child has not been to a children’s museum, a friend’s birthday party or a McDonald’s play area. And while we parents wait to be able to vaccinate our kids, the C.D.C. has decided to make it so I can’t take my kid to the grocery store either.

Toyota to suspend production in Russia and vehicle imports | The Japan Times

Toyota Motor Corp. will halt production at its Russian factory from Friday, while vehicle imports into the country have also stopped indefinitely due to supply chain disruptions, the automaker said.

Toyota joins other Japanese automakers that have taken or flagged similar moves, also citing difficulty in procuring parts and other logistical hurdles.

People of colour fleeing Ukraine attacked by Polish nationalists | Ukraine | The Guardian

“Around 7pm, these men started to shout and yell against groups of African and Middle Eastern refugees who were outside the train station,” two Polish journalists from the press agency OKO, who first reported the incident, told the Guardian. “They yelled at them: ‘Go back to the train station! Go back to your country.’”

Police intervened and riot officers were deployed after groups of men arrived chanting “Przemyśl always Polish”.

“I was with my friends, buying something to eat outside,” said Sara, 22, from Egypt, a student in Ukraine. “These men came and started to harass a group of men from Nigeria. They wouldn’t let an African boy go inside a place to eat some food. Then they came towards us and yelled: ‘Go back to your country.’”

Following the incident, police in Poland warned that groups linked to the far right are already spreading false information about alleged crimes committed by people from Africa and the Middle East fleeing war in Ukraine.

Przemyśl police said on Twitter: “In the media, there is false information that serious crimes have occurred in Przemyśl and the border: burglaries, assaults and rape. It’s not true. The police did not record an increased number of crimes in connection with the situation at the border. #StopFakeNews.”
