Hillary Clinton: Empower girls and women - CNN.com
Hillary Clinton: Empower girls and women - CNN.com
Give women equal rights and entire nations are more stable and secure.
"Let women work and they drive economic growth across all sectors. Send a girl to school even just for one year and her income dramatically increases for life, and her children are more likely to survive and her family more likely to be healthier for years to come. Give women equal rights and entire nations are more stable and secure. Deny women equal rights and the instability of nations is almost certain."
Clinton said the goal of empowering women and girls is a "central tenet" of American foreign policy. "Women's equality is not just a moral issue, it's not just a humanitarian issue, it is not just a fairness issue," she said, "It is a security issue, it is a prosperity issue, and it is a peace issue.
"We need to reach out to faith leaders and community leaders to change the perception and treatment of girls, and to persuade men and boys to value their sisters and their daughters, their talents and their intrinsic worth."
Washington (CNN) -- Toward the end of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's surprise appearance at the TED Women conference Wednesday, she told the story of a girl and her father in a developing country.
"This teenage girl's father expected to force her into early marriage, but she had been to school and she received a cow, perhaps through the Heifer project, to encourage her to stay in school. When her father demanded she drop out of school and get married, she said no. When he insisted, she insisted right back.
"And finally she pulled out her trump card: 'If I leave and get married, I'm taking my cow, that cow belongs to me.' So guess what. She stayed in school, she was spared an early marriage, all because her father couldn't bear to part with the cow."

Breast pain indicates possibility of cancer, study finds - Diagnostic Imaging
Breast pain indicates possibility of cancer, study finds - Diagnostic Imaging
In the controversy surrounding using breast pain as a reason for diagnostic imaging, researchers find cancers may manifest in the absence of other signs or symptoms. During a study presented Thursday at the RSNA meeting, researchers found eight of 500 women seeking breast exams for breast pain were diagnosed with breast cancer.
Breast pain is one of the most common reasons prompting a breast exam, according to Dr. Lauren Stein, from the University of Michigan, who presented the study. The reported prevalence of breast cancer in women presenting with breast pain ranges from 0% to 7%. But the literature about imaging women with breast pain is limited, hence there is some controversy regarding diagnostic imaging for breast pain.

BBC News - Database shows how bees see world in UV
"This research highlights that the world we see is not the physical or the 'real' world - different animals have very different senses, depending on the environment the animals operate in," said Professor Lars Chittka from Queen Mary's School of Biological and Chemical Sciences.
"Much of the coloured world that's accessible to bees and other animals with UV receptors is entirely invisible for us. In order to see that invisible part of the world, we need this special machinery."
But what is the point of such a tool beyond giving researchers an insect's view?
Professor Chittka says seeing these invisible colours may have commercial applications in the greenhouse and beyond.
"Every third bite that you consume at the dinner table is the result of insect pollinators' work. In order to utilise insects for commercial pollination purposes, we need to understand how insects see flowers.
"We need to understand what kind of a light climate we need to generate in commercial glass houses to facilitate detection of flowers by bees."

Iran hangs woman for murdering love rival | The Australian
The London-based rights group Amnesty International on Tuesday called on Iran to halt Jahed's execution, saying "there are good reasons to suggest that she may have been wrongly convicted."
Jahed, who had a so-called "temporary" marriage with Nasser Mohammad Khani, a former striker for the Iranian national team, was convicted of stabbing to death his "permanent" wife eight years ago.
In the Shiite faith that is the majority religion in Iran, men and women can marry for an agreed period of time. Afterwards, the marriage is null and void, although it can be renewed.
Men can have up to four permanent wives, and any number of temporary wives. Women can only be married to one man at a time.
Amnesty said that in early 2008 the judiciary overturned the verdict and ordered a fresh investigation, citing "procedural flaws." However, Jahed was again sentenced to death in February 2009.
He was convicted of killing his wife eight years ago but not sentenced to death?
I feel very sad for her family and disgusted of the way women and men are treated differently when convicted of the same crime?
Where is the justice?

Dianne Brimble was drugged, coroner finds | News.com.au
Three men were charged over Ms Brimble's death, including Mark Wilhelm, in whose cabin her naked body was found and with whom she'd had sex.
A manslaughter charge against Wilhelm was dropped earlier this year but he pleaded guilty to supplying the drug to Ms Brimble.
Mr Wilhelm's sentencing judge stressed that Ms Brimble had taken the drug voluntarily and "did so under the influence of alcohol and therefore, in no way was (Wilhelm) responsible for the effects of the drug on Ms Brimble".
But Mr Brimble said today's finding - that his ex-wife unknowingly took the drug - was the one that mattered.
"History will now show the findings of the coroner should be interpreted as the truth of the matter," he said.
These criminals killed a women and their sentence did not fit the crime.
Do women statistically have equal representation in the jury? Is the selection process fair? What kind of justice does a women have in our courts today?

Our society has a lot to answer by not addressing violence against women and girls at schools and in the media.
The courts should give harder sentences to this type of crime as they often offend again and again.

Discovery Halts Breast Cancer Stem Cells -- BOSTON, Nov. 26, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --
Discovery Halts Breast Cancer Stem Cells -- BOSTON, Nov. 26, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --
BOSTON, Nov. 26, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Breast cancer stem cells (CSCs), the aggressive cells thought to be resistant to current anti-cancer therapies and which promote metastasis, are stimulated by estrogen via a pathway that mirrors normal stem cell development. Disrupting the pathway, researchers were able to halt the expansion of breast CSCs, a finding that suggests a new drug therapy target. The study, done in mice, is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) Early Edition this week.
"A critical aspect of our work was to discover that estrogen could promote breast cancer growth by modulating the proportion of breast CSCs. Since CSCs were not directly sensitive to estrogen, it wasn't clear how estrogen could affect their numbers. However, we found that hormone-sensitive cancer cells can communicate with CSCs to regulate their numbers. By disrupting the interaction between cancer cell populations we were able to prevent tumor growth," said Charlotte Kuperwasser, Ph.D., associate professor in the anatomy and cellular biology and radiation oncology departments at Tufts University School of Medicine, and member of the genetics and cell, molecular & developmental biology program faculties at the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences at Tufts.
"Interestingly, this signaling pathway involves many of the same players that control normal stem cell biology, raising a more general possibility that CSCs in other tumors might be regulated by the mechanisms guiding normal development," said Kuperwasser.

Govt wants to stamp out forced marriage | News.com.au
Although not regarded as widespread in Australia, the problem was highlighted in two separate cases this year when courts issued orders barring girls aged 14 and 17 from being removed to an overseas destination to be married against their will.
THE federal government wants to know what more can be done to stamp out the practice of forced or servile marriage.
The government should educate people entering the country about the illegality of these practices and stronger sentences imposed to the perpetrators.

UK rape awareness survey uncovers shocking attitudes of young men | News.com.au
SHOCKING new statistics reveal nearly half of young men still think sex with women too drunk to know what is going on is not rape, Sky News reports.
And 46 percent of men aged 18 to 25 also do not consider it rape if the woman changes her mind during sex.
The survey comes as a new video to raise awareness about rape was posted on YouTube by a group of specialist support centers called The Havens.
"It's not consensual sex unless both parties agree," explained former Miss Great Britain finalist and rape victim Victoria Buglioni.
In May last year, Ms Buglioni's life changed suddenly after she was followed into the restrooms at a London nightclub.
"The man grabbed me by the hair and smashed my head against the toilet cubical wall," said the 25-year-old.
"I fought back as best as I could but I was knocked out for 27 minutes during which he continued to rape me and get what he wanted from me."
Despite CCTV evidence, no one was convicted of her rape.
Astonishingly, even if a woman says "no" from the start, 23 percent of young men still believe sex after that point does not constitute rape.

Principal Amanda Bell calls for more female headmasters at Queensland all-girls schools | Courier Mail
"Following the announcement in Brisbane this week of the appointment of yet another male principal to a major independent girls' school . . . there is cause to reflect on how this could happen and continues to happen – not because there is anything wrong with men being principals or a particular man being considered worthy – but because of the larger question of why the governing authorities of some independent girls' schools would want their principals to be anything but strong female role-models for the young women in their care," she warns in a paper.

"Following the announcement in Brisbane this week of the appointment of yet another male principal to a major independent girls' school . . . there is cause to reflect on how this could happen and continues to happen – not because there is anything wrong with men being principals or a particular man being considered worthy – but because of the larger question of why the governing authorities of some independent girls' schools would want their principals to be anything but strong female role-models for the young women in their care," she warns in a paper.

If there is no risks to the child and the mother, there is no obvious reasons to put an age limit for motherwood, as far as I know there is no such limit for a men to become a father.
Individuals should be free to make choices, stop sexual discrimination.

Will sexual harassment at work ever be eliminated?
Will sexual harassment at work ever be eliminated?Dr Michael is spot on. Men like you should be seen in the media, the present youth role models we so often see are abusing women and lately even animals.
Emily Maguire you are so right.
It's not enough for organisations to have sexual harassment policies; they need to regularly reinforce them through training that treats sexual harassment as bullying rather than over-enthusiastic flirting, and then follow through by treating sexual harassment complaints as seriously as any other kind of workplace aggression. Meanwhile, the wider community can help by loudly supporting the courageous whistleblowers who risk vilification and career ruin by publicly exposing harassers.
There'll always be creeps and bullies, but while eliminating sexual harassment may be impossible, eliminating workplace cultures that give harassers tacit approval and silence victims is not.

UN names Australia as the second best place in the world to liveI agree with their judgment.Only one question why Australia did drop out of gender equality study's top 20 and are behind 23 other countries such as Mozambique, New Zeland, the Philippines and so many others.Why?
"Australia drops out of gender equality study's top 20
The following was extracted from the ABC NEWS
"Iceland, Norway and Finland topped the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual gender gap index, while Pakistan, Chad and Yemen were bottom of the 134-nation rankings.
Australia has dropped three places since last year to come in at 23rd behind Mozambique.
New Zealand at fifth and the Philippines, at ninth, led the Asia-Pacific nations.
The report - which assesses how equitably income, resources and opportunities are distributed between the sexes - gave particular praise to the Philippines in Asia and Lesotho in Africa, which were both in the world top 10."
USA from 31st to 19th passing australia by 1.
France dropped more than 25 places to 46th, mainly because of its "poor performance" in women's political empowerment.
The report said Iceland had made new gains "because of an increase in the number of women ministers, a near gender-balanced parliament and the continued tenure of a female prime minister.
The only blemish was "a significant difference between men's and women's salaries."
Nordic countries have some of the highest labor force participation rates in the world and lowest salary gaps while "women have abundant opportunities to rise to positions of leadership," said the report."

Demand for hijab ruling causes uproar in State Parliament | Adelaide NowHow could a simple misunderstanding become such an uproar?
I did not understand the big momentum created in both houses by the question?
I do not know about the Adelaide politics, I am real only commenting on what I am reading, and I do not understand how a celebration turn into such a debate about race, religion,costumes, etc
A question was asked about etiquette, and about the parliament rules, and a young women took it the wrong way ...
Who was South Australian-born Muriel Matters?
http://www.murielmatterssociety.com.au/
Although these two deeds punctuate Matters’ life, they mask a hard working and strong willed activist who spent an entire life acting upon deeply held principles. These convictions orbiting around thoughts of gender equality, universal access to education and a career open to talent may seem commonplace in contemporary society but at the beginning of the twentieth century they were ideals which had to be won. All the different elements contained within her life of activism culminated in 1924 when she ran as the Labour Candidate for the seat of Hastings in the General Election. Although she did not gain enough votes to unseat the incumbent (Lord Eustace Percy), this actualization of her belief that women had a natural right to participate in parliamentary decision making bodies was a victory in itself and provided an example which others soon followed.

Mary had to fight for women in a male era | The Daily Telegraph
Mary had to fight for women in a male era | The Daily TelegraphFeminist is a title Australia's first saint would probably reject if she was alive today but for a generation of modern women, her life defined what it is to be a strong female, quietly and successfully defying the establishment.
Just why would a women reject the word Feminist?
"wikipedia:
Feminism refers to movements aimed at establishing and defending equal political, economic, and social rights and equal opportunities for women.[1][2][3] These rights include legal protection and inclusion in politics, business, and scholarship, and recognition and building of women's cultures and power.[citation needed] Its concepts overlap with those of women's rights. Feminism is controversial for challenging traditions in many fields and especially for supporting shifting the political balance toward women.[citation needed] Some feminists argue that men cause and benefit from sexism[citation needed]; while others argue that all people are harmed by gender roles and therefore that feminism is for women and men. Feminists are persons of either sex.
Feminist theory emerged from these feminist movements[4][5] and includes general theories and theories about the origins of inequality, and, in some cases, about the social construction of sex and gender, in a variety of disciplines. Feminist activists have campaigned for women's rights—such as in contract, property, and voting—while also promoting women's rights to bodily integrity and autonomy and reproductive rights. They have opposed domestic violence, sexual harassment, and sexual assault. In economics, they have advocated for workplace rights, including equal pay and opportunities for careers and to start businesses.
Protofeminism preceded feminism and is based on sources other than feminists' writings. Feminists' writings then began to appear, such as those by Christine de Pizan in the 15th century and Mary Wollstonecraft in the late 18th century. Starting in the 19th century, feminism tended to arise in in what we now refer to as waves, especially in the United States and the United Kingdom. First-wave feminism sought equality in property rights, changes in the marriage relationship, and, eventually, in women's suffrage, or women's right to vote. Second-wave feminism, also sometimes called women's liberation, began in the 1960s and focused on discrimination and on cultural, social, and political issues, and books about it included The Feminine Mystique and The Second Sex. It was often accused of orienting to upper middle-class white women and, sometimes, of biological essentialism. Third-wave feminism began in the 1980s or early 1990s and addresses feminism across class and race lines, as being grounded in culture rather than biology, and through many issues, so there's less concentration on particular issues."
Well if you agree that you have the right to education, equal pay(not yet achieved in Australia), to vote, not to lose your children if you divorce, opposed to domestic violence, right to own property and business, you are a FEMINIST what kind I do not know.

Bullying Information - ABC News
Bullying Information - ABC News
Bullies
An aggressive child who repeatedly victimizes a less powerful child with physical and/or emotional abuse.
Bullying usually involves an older or larger child (or several children) victimizing a single child who is incapable of defending himself or herself. Although much bullying goes unreported, it is estimated that in the average school an incident of bullying occurs approximately once every seven minutes. Bullying occurs at about the same rate regardless of class size or school size, but, for an unknown reason, rural schools appear to have a higher rate of bullying than urban or suburban schools. Even when bullying is reported, it is not always taken seriously by teachers and parents because many adults believe that children should learn to "stand up for themselves" or "fight back."
Although the stereotypical bully is male, girls engage in bullying behavior almost as often as boys. Their tactics differ, however, in that they are less visible. Boy bullies tend to resort to one-on-one physical aggression, while girls tend to bully as a group through social exclusion and the spreading of rumors. Girls who would never bully individually will often take part in group bullying activities such as "slam books," notebooks that are circulated among the peer group in which comments and criticisms are written about particular individuals.
Bullying begins at a very early age; it is not uncommon to find bullies in preschool classrooms. Up until about age seven, bullies appear to choose their victims at random. After that, they single out specific children to torment on a regular basis. Nearly twice as much bullying goes on in grades two to four as in grades six to eight, and, as bullies grow older, they use less physical abuse and more verbal abuse.
Until about sixth grade, bullies are not necessarily unpopular. They average two or three friends, and other children seem to admire them for their physical toughness. By high school, however, their social acceptance has diminished to the point that their only "friends" are other bullies. Despite their unpopularity, bullies have relatively high self-esteem. Perhaps this is because they process social information inaccurately.
For example, bullies attribute hostile intentions to people around them and therefore perceive provocation where it does not exist. "What are you staring at?" is a common opening line of bullies. For the bully, these perceived slights serve as justification for aggressive behavior.
In general, children who become the targets of bullies have a negative view of violence and go out of their way to avoid conflict. They tend to be "loners" who exhibit signs of vulnerability before being singled out by a bully. Being victimized leads these children—who are already lacking in self-esteem—to feel more anxious and thereby increase their vulnerability to further victimization. Being the target of a bully leads to social isolation and rejection by peers, and victims tend to internalize others' negative views, further eroding their self-esteem. Although bullying actually lessens during adolescence, that is the period when peer rejection is most painful for victims. In a number of well-publicized cases (in Scandinavia, Japan, and Australia, as well as the United States), adolescents tormented by bullies have been driven to suicide.
Evidence indicates that bullying is not a phase a child will outgrow. In a long-term study of more than 500 children, University of Michigan researchers discovered that children who were viewed as the most aggressive by their peers at age eight grew up to commit more (and more serious) crimes as adults. Other studies indicate that, as adults, bullies are far more likely to abuse their spouses and children.
TIPS FOR PREVENTING BULLYING BEHAVIOR
Parents and teachers can do a number of things to prevent bullying:
* All children should be given regular opportunities to discuss bullying and ways to deal with bullies. In role-playing exercises, for example, children can practice saying, "Leave me alone" and walking away.
* Children can be taught simple measures to lessen the likelihood of becoming the target of a bully. Looking people in the eye, speaking up, and standing straight are just a few behaviors that communicate self-confidence.
* Children who tend to be loners (potential targets of bullies) can be paired up with socially competent "models." Some children need a little help learning how to make friends.
* Because bullies are most likely to strike during unsupervised times such as recess, children should be provided with as much structured activity as possible.

Dad was 'teaching daughter about sex' | News.com.auA MONSTER STORY
AN elderly New Zealand man has appeared in court accused of 34 crimes including raping his daughter, forcing his children to have sex with one another, repeatedly beating them and killing their pet cats.
The 78-year-old pensioner from the North Island, who has interim name suppression, went on trial in Palmerston North District Court yesterday, facing charges relating to almost three decades of alleged assault and sexual abuse, NZPA reported.
The charges, which the man denies, include 11 allegations of rape against five different women or girls, the Dominion Post reported today.
On six occasions the alleged victims were aged between 12 and 16-years-old.
The man's lawyer, Fergus Steedman, urged a jury of six men and six women not to make any decisions about his client based on the crown's grim re-telling of events.
"There may be times when you want to hit him and there may be times when you hate me, too, as I challenge the evidence," Mr Steedman told the court.
"You may react emotively ... but I ask that you deal with that now. It's okay to act that way provided you keep an open mind."
The alleged crimes took place between 1963 and 1990 as the man and his family shifted around eight lower North Island cities and towns, according to the Dominion Post.
Three of his children are among the eight people who made complaints against him. Another three are due to give evidence in his defence.
The other alleged victims are the man's former partner's niece, a school friend of his daughter and the former girlfriends of both his sons.
All have name suppression.

New Zealand sex case jury told to keep open mind | News.com.au http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/new-zealand-sex-cas...
As well as rapes, the man is charged with attempted rape, indecent assault, assault with intent to injure and cruelty to children.
During a lengthy opening statement today, Crown Prosecutor Chris Shannon outlined details of what the man was accused of doing.
This included sexually assaulting some of the children under the guise of a medical examination or teaching them about sex, forcing his son to have sex with his daughter by saying he had a gun and attempting to hit his eldest son with his car, before threatening to get a gun and shoot him.
Mr Shannon also accused the man of allowing a farmhand to take his youngest son away to the milking shed for oral sex and killing two of his children's pet cats in front of them.
Some members of the jury appeared visibly upset as the details were recounted, the Dominion Post reported.
The court was shown a video of a police interview, in which the man repeatedly denied the events ever took place.
During cross-examination, defence lawyer Fergus Steedman asked the woman why it took her until 2009 to tell police about the attempted rape.
The woman said past complaints had "fallen on deaf ears" with police and social workers, so she gave up.
Eight people have laid complaints against the man, three of them his children.
However, another three of the man's children are due to give evidence in his defence during the trial, which is expected to last three weeks.

The 78-year-old pensioner from the North Island, who has interim name suppression, went on trial in Palmerston North District Court yesterday, facing charges relating to almost three decades of alleged assault and sexual abuse, NZPA reported.
The charges, which the man denies, include 11 allegations of rape against five different women or girls, the Dominion Post reported today.
On six occasions the alleged victims were aged between 12 and 16-years-old.
The man's lawyer, Fergus Steedman, urged a jury of six men and six women not to make any decisions about his client based on the crown's grim re-telling of events.
"There may be times when you want to hit him and there may be times when you hate me, too, as I challenge the evidence," Mr Steedman told the court.
"You may react emotively ... but I ask that you deal with that now. It's okay to act that way provided you keep an open mind."
The alleged crimes took place between 1963 and 1990 as the man and his family shifted around eight lower North Island cities and towns, according to the Dominion Post.
Three of his children are among the eight people who made complaints against him. Another three are due to give evidence in his defence.
The other alleged victims are the man's former partner's niece, a school friend of his daughter and the former girlfriends of both his sons.
All have name suppression.

New Zealand sex case jury told to keep open mind | News.com.au http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/new-zealand-sex-cas...
As well as rapes, the man is charged with attempted rape, indecent assault, assault with intent to injure and cruelty to children.
During a lengthy opening statement today, Crown Prosecutor Chris Shannon outlined details of what the man was accused of doing.
This included sexually assaulting some of the children under the guise of a medical examination or teaching them about sex, forcing his son to have sex with his daughter by saying he had a gun and attempting to hit his eldest son with his car, before threatening to get a gun and shoot him.
Mr Shannon also accused the man of allowing a farmhand to take his youngest son away to the milking shed for oral sex and killing two of his children's pet cats in front of them.
Some members of the jury appeared visibly upset as the details were recounted, the Dominion Post reported.
The court was shown a video of a police interview, in which the man repeatedly denied the events ever took place.
During cross-examination, defence lawyer Fergus Steedman asked the woman why it took her until 2009 to tell police about the attempted rape.
The woman said past complaints had "fallen on deaf ears" with police and social workers, so she gave up.
Eight people have laid complaints against the man, three of them his children.
However, another three of the man's children are due to give evidence in his defence during the trial, which is expected to last three weeks.

Australia drops 3 places( not in the top 20 )out of gender equality study's top 20 - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation). women lets all move to Iceland...maybe for 3 months ( next year Australia will take GOLD)
Australia drops out of gender equality study's top 20 - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)"
"Australia drops out of gender equality study's top 20
The following was extracted from the ABC NEWS
"Iceland, Norway and Finland topped the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual gender gap index, while Pakistan, Chad and Yemen were bottom of the 134-nation rankings.
Australia has dropped three places since last year to come in at 23rd behind Mozambique.
New Zealand at fifth and the Philippines, at ninth, led the Asia-Pacific nations.
The report - which assesses how equitably income, resources and opportunities are distributed between the sexes - gave particular praise to the Philippines in Asia and Lesotho in Africa, which were both in the world top 10."
USA from 31st to 19th passing australia by 1.
France dropped more than 25 places to 46th, mainly because of its "poor performance" in women's political empowerment.
The report said Iceland had made new gains "because of an increase in the number of women ministers, a near gender-balanced parliament and the continued tenure of a female prime minister.
The only blemish was "a significant difference between men's and women's salaries."
Nordic countries have some of the highest labor force participation rates in the world and lowest salary gaps while "women have abundant opportunities to rise to positions of leadership," said the report."

PM says women and men should be boss | News.com.au
"PM is hoping that people can imagine women doing the top jobs, not just the men.
Despite the country sporting a female prime minister, two female premiers and a female governor-general it has become apparent the corporate world is not reflecting politics."
If women in the developed world take so long to have the same pay, and the same opportunities, with the law and education in their side, can we imagine how many centuries will take for the rest of the world to stop trafficking, FGM, slavery or child rape?
I have been listening to media comments by men and women about raping as if the woman's actions are to blame not the perpetrators.
Yesterday, following the Q&A on the ABC, it was said that we cannot underestimate the bond between the players after group sex.
What kind of bond?violent sex, rape? Are these our heroes?
As every one knows women should not be drunk at 3 am, and talk or go with strangers because it is not safe not because they deserve to be raped.
Is it fair to say that they have been raped because they were out?We are putting the blame on the victims not the perpetrators what is morally wrong.
What does it say about us and the society we are creating?Is that the example we want to give to the world?
It appears to me that media celebrities should take more responsibility by the comments they make.
Really, what are we saying to our boys? That it is ok to use a women as a sexual object without any caring for their feelings, and that rape is ok if the women is out late and drunk?

Modern day slave trading
Modern day slave trading
There are no slaves in the 21st century, right? Wrong. Far from being an historical relic, human slavery is thriving. And it's not just adults who are being subjected to this degradation.
Right around the world, children as young as four are being forced to work as domestic servants, street beggars, agricultural labourers, miners and factory workers. Many are involved in prostitution, pornography and bonded labour.

If only Media would help us all create a better world.
How nice it would be to see the Media bombarding us with news about young successful stars, good role models, good causes as often as they do about stars drinking themselves stupid, doing drugs, be violent to women, and in the end being successfull with no consequences... but no those news will be too boring...
All of us are starving for great examples, and great causes, we need to change this new media madness frenzy of empty paparazzi.
Our media should take more responsibility, and help our youth to find the real heroes the ones that help others to change lives and the world,and make it cool to act good not act bad.

ABC Sport - Everitt under fire for sex assault comments
ABC Sport - Everitt under fire for sex assault comments
We all know how this is going to end...
So many club players are involved ...did I read this story sometime ago?
Supposing a sexual assault is done by a group of players, the club probably can not afford to risk to loose so many players, also it will be more difficult to prove wrong doing...right?
Well the public is sick of our stars disgusting behavior(drugs, violence against women, etc), they are role models and should behave like it or be taken out of the sport and limelight.
It is about time the clubs take action, education programs are not enough anymore, consequences are need it. What message are you giving to the next generation?
Educate them before making them stars , our boys and girls deserve better.
This type of stories are all the time in the news, what do you think will happen in a few years? Maybe it will not be at 3 am, it will be acceptable to do it anytime, anywhere. That is the message we are given to our boys, no consequences to bad and harmful behavior, and I am scared for the future of our girls.

We need ethical men discussing this issue in our media.Peer pressure?Are they courageous enough? Our boys urgently need good role models.
Do we want an increase of sexual assaults, and violence against women in the future?
Men have to think about their mothers, sisters, wives, daughters, nieces, and have a man to man talk about this issue.
Sometimes even if not wise... , women like man walk at 3 am and drink, does that give anyone the right to sexual harass , be violent or rape, NO is NO and no women should walk the streets afraid of perfectly "normal man"...
Australia we are not going back, we are going prehistoric.

What are Australians doing to stop this nightmare??????
Melbourne's Royal Women's Hospital says it is seeing between 600 and 700 women each year who have experienced it in some form.
How many more women and girls? Will we ever know the real number?
If this was done to a prisoner the force of the law would be applied as it should.
What are we really doing about girls and women being mutilated? Do you know of anyone that committed this crime being jailed ?
