Islamist militants and terrorist groups pose a particular danger to Iraqi women. Many women’s organizations and activists inside Iraq have documented the increasing Islamist threats to women: the pressure to conform to certain dress codes, the restrictions in movement and behaviour, incidents of acid thrown into women’s faces and even targeted killings. After the U.S. invasion in 2003, many women in Basra, for example, reported that they were forced to wear a headscarf or restrict their movements in fear of harassment from men. Female students at the University of Basra reported that since the war ended groups of men began stopping them at the university gates, shouting at them if their heads were not covered read full story / add a comment

This is thrilling stuff. I could point you in loads of directions at stunning analysis & biting cartoons. But it's best just to look at the nitty gritty of the pieces of paper that go into Hansard - the official record of the Houses of Commons and Lords SW1A Aaakkkmi6mi5. now one of those is a real secret society with hoods on. & I'm not talking about hoodies or asbestos. We do though (get hoodies & asbestos) because we're scum. Remember that the link in this "other press" article is to a site envisioned for people who aren't like you, that's why it's called "they work for you". Thanks to the foresight of some maligned predecessors & hard bleeding by other predecessors - we either live in the bubble of the Irish diasporia or in the republic of Ireland & a lot of voting households up the wee north. & it's not wee actually.... It's global. anyway read full story / add a comment

Today, live-line listeners heard first hand from the distressed lady whose rapist was let walk free from the court after a jury had found him guilty. On the very same day, the same judge Kearney, committed another rapist to 15 years in jail followed by 10 years supervised release. Both men broke into the womens houses, both men were under the influence, both men traumatised their victims and both victims were totally innocent of any provocation. What is the difference? According to judge Kearney, One was a young man from a "good family" and the other wasn't. So what is a "good family?" read full story / add a comment

The year was 1993 or perhaps 1994, I lived in Zimbabwe and the past time that I most enjoyed was horse riding in the Veld near Sunset. On this occasion....I was being brave. I had learned to canter so it was time to jump. An arena, an enthusiasm, the taste of speed and miscalculation and there was change, I went over the horse and under the horse. Outcome: private emegency ambulance - a team who I will never know who most likely saved my life. There was only one elderly man as Neurosugeon in Zimbabwe at that time. From there life became a pilgrim path of exploration and many bumps and turns on the road. Welcome to Brain Awareness Week. Let us all take the opportunity to learn about the brain, about acquired brain injury, about diseases of the brain, about mental health implications, read full story / add a comment

Is it a sign of modern Ireland? Is it an attempt to get down with Ireland's Yoof? Whatever it is, the rise in party political electronic campaigning/propaganda has, at the very least, a few funny moments as a reward for those with a penchant for punishing yourself by daring to have the images burned into your memories. The wonders of the Inter Web are now being utilised to in the name of the party political cause... read full story / add a comment
