When Ye Pei dreamed of Venice as a girl, she imagined a magical floating city of canals and gondola rides. And she imagined her mother, successful in her new life and eager to embrace the daughter she had never forgotten. But when Ye Pei arrives in Italy, she learns her mother works on a farm far from the city. Her only connection, a mean-spirited Chinese auntie, puts Ye Pei to work in a small-town café. Rather than giving up and returning to China, a determined Ye Pei takes on a grueling schedule.

Reports of sexual violence in armed conflict frequently appear in political discussions and news media, presenting a stark contrast to a long history of silence and nonrecognition. Conflict-related sexual violence has transitioned rapidly from a neglected human rights issue to an unambiguous security concern on the agendas of powerful states and the United Nations Security Council. Through interviews and primary-source evidence, Kerry F. Crawford investigates the reasons for this dramatic change and the implications of the securitization of sexual violence.

Taking the battle to music venues themselves, she has trained night clubs and community spaces in how to create safer environments for marginalized people.

Even if you're a morning person, the ovary's biological clock starts ticking way too early. Before that very first ovulation, your egg count is already silently slipping away. It's so unfair! But what if there were a way to turn that clock back, to "reboot" hormones to younger levels? Maybe even create new eggs? Could there be a method to reach these goals without synthetic drugs, using the same natural signals which made eggs in the first place? Ovarian Reboot plugs in to that story.

Despite its reputation as a carnival of vice, Tijuana, was, until recently, no more or less violent than neighboring San Diego. But then something changed. Over the past 10 years, Mexico’s third-largest city became one of the world’s most dangerous. Hundreds of women are now found dead in the city each year, or bound and mutilated along the highway that lines the Baja coast. When Dan Werb began to study these murders in 2013, rather than viewing them in isolation, he discovered that they could be understood only as one symptom among many.

On June 24, 2022, the US Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision, asserting that the Constitution did not confer the right to abortion. This ruling, in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health case, was the culmination of a half-century of pro-life activism promoting the idea that fetuses are people and therefore entitled to the rights and protections that the Constitution guarantees. But it was also the product of a much longer history of archaic ideas about the relationship between pregnant people and the fetuses they carry.

Psychische Gesundheit ist politisch. In Ländern wie Deutschland und Österreich können wir uns auf eine medizinische Notversorgung verlassen. Gibt es einen Unfall, wird ein Rettungswagen gerufen, Patient*innen werden in ein Krankenhaus gebracht und schnellstmöglich versorgt. Selbstverständlich, oder? Immerhin wäre es für uns unvorstellbar, mit einem Knochenbruch wieder nach Hause geschickt zu werden, einschließlich einer Wartefrist von sechs Wochen. Bis ein Behandlungsplatz zur Verfügung steht. In etwa so gestaltet sich jedoch die Situation im Bereich der psychischen Erkrankungen.

I Don't presents an inarguable case against marriage for modern women. With the incisive attention to detail and razor sharp wit that has characterised her work, Ford examines a broad range of topics, including the patriarchal history of marriage; the insidious and centuries long marketing campaign pop culture has conducted in marriage's favour; the illusion of feminist 'choice' in regard to taking men's names; the physical and social cost that comes with motherhood; and what a different kind of world could look like for women who were allowed to truly be free.

Are you spinning multiple plates at once? Mother, wife, employee, cook, cleaner, project manager, taxi driver, homeschool teacher? If it’s actually possible for women to have it all, as society assures us it is, then why do we feel like we are failing? All over the world, women shoulder most of the responsibilities of parenting and managing a home, even when both partners are in paid employment. The better they do this job, the more invisible it becomes. Failure to both recognize and value the Invisible Job is at the heart of today’s gender imbalance.
