From the page:
Violence against women in conflict is one of history's great silences. We were
completely unprepared for the searing magnitude of what we saw and heard in the
conflict and post-conflict areas we visited. We knew the data. We knew that 94 per cent
of displaced households surveyed in Sierra Leone had experienced sexual assaults,
including rape, torture and sexual slavery.1 That at least 250,000 - perhaps as many as
500,000 - women were raped during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda.2 We read reports of
sexual violence in the ongoing hostilities in Algeria, Myanmar, Southern Sudan and
Uganda. We learned of the dramatic increase in domestic violence in war zones, and of
the growing numbers of women trafficked out of war zones to become forced labourers
and forced sex workers.

New Charles Darwin film istoo controversial for American audiences | Mail Online

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 03:28:46 -0700

From the page: "A new British film about Charles Darwin has failed to land a distribution deal in the States because his theories on human evolution are too controversial for religious American audiences, according to the film's producer.

Creation follows the British naturalist's 'struggle between faith and reason' as he wrote his 1859 book, On The Origin Of The Species.

The film, directed by Jon Amielm was chosen to open the Toronto Film Festival and has now been sold to almost every territory in the world. "

10 Simple Ways To Go Green | WebEcoist

Sun, 02 Aug 2009 23:32:53 -0700

From the page:
The color green has traditionally been associated with regeneration, rebirth and nature so its not surprising it was adopted by those interested in environmental protection and social justice. Of course ad-men never miss a marketing opportunity and with increased public awareness of `green' issues, we have seen an alarming array of products being marketed with varying degrees of honesty as being `green'. Being `green' isn't about being a consumer though and trying to be more environmentally aware doesn't have to cost a cent. So lets look at a few simple, practical ways that we can all be a little `greener' without breaking the bank
