How to counter rape as a weapon of war	30.7.2010	The Guardian -- World Latest
Increasing pressure on African men to discuss gender equality could lessen the incentive to use rape as a war weapon, according to new research from Uganda The incentive to use rape as a weapon of war in Africa would be less if more was done to ensure men were involved in discussions about gender equality, claims the director of a human rights project in Uganda. In an interview with Christian Aid , Chris Dolan, director of the Refugee Law Project , based at Makerere University, in Kampala, Uganda, said: "If gender equality were a reality, the incentive to use rape of men and women as a weapon of war would be reduced. Unfortunately much of the gender work done to date has presented 'gender' as essentially a discussion about women's rights, ...

'Feminism is not finished'	24.7.2010	The Guardian -- World Latest
After years of derision, feminism is finding its voice again, from grassroots protests to a flurry of books, websites and even a summer school. But will it lead to real change? If you want to gauge the energy in the current British feminist movement, you have to speak to the young campaigners. Alex Corwin has defined herself as a feminist since she started reading avidly about women's issues a few years ago, aged 19. It made her "SO ANGRY", she had to become an activist. Corwin joined a local grassroots group – Sheffield Fems– and since then she has taken part in campaigns that run the gamut: local, international, political, cultural. She could recently be found in a high-street newsagent, armed with Post-it notes to stick on the half-clad ...

Letters: Fight continues to defend gay rights	15.7.2010	The Guardian -- World Latest
Comments in several papers have attacked the supreme court decision to prevent the deportation of two gay asylum seekers ( Report , 8 July). The Daily Express on 8 July was headlined: " Now Asylum if You're Gay : they must be free to go to Kylie concerts and drink multicoloured cocktails, says judge." The Daily Mail asked: " What planet is he on? "; and the Daily Star warned that "opening the floodgates to gay asylum seekers is absolute madness". In reality, only one in 50 people who claim asylum on the basis of sexual orientation is admitted to the UK. Homosexuality is illegal in over 80 countries and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender asylum seekers are often fleeing attempted murder or rape – only to be told by the UK authorities to ...

Sun, sweat and harassment \| Eva Wiseman	11.7.2010	The Guardian -- World Latest
It's not just men on building sites who intimidate women when the city heats up As the heat rises, in clouds of petrol and melting crisp packets, so do the levels of sexual harassment found on city streets. Long roads hum with cars which pass in a burst of catcalls. Recently, one warm evening, a chubby nine-year-old boy called me closer and asked, dripping Fab lolly in hand, if I'd show him my breasts. While I admired his chutzpah (I liked that he said please) I declined. It's the crowds of lunching men in fluorescent tabards that make me uneasy, though, the groups you have to squeeze through as they share cigarettes on a pavement, and the drive-bys, who loudly name bits of your body as if competing on a midday game-show. On London's City ...

Football's stand against sexual violence and homophobia \| Jennifer Doyle	19.6.2010	The Guardian -- World Latest
At the last World Cup, Fifa campaigned against racism. In South Africa, it should highlight the hate that killed Eudy Simelane Before the start of their 2006 World Cup semi-final, players for Brazil and France stood together and held a banner declaring "Say no to racism". The gesture was part of a Fifa campaign – each of the 64 matches included a visible statement against the racist abuse directed especially at black players in Europe. From the round banner marked with this slogan which covered the centre circle until the start of the match, to pre-game statements read by team captains before kick-off, during Fifa's 2006 World Cup, players, fans and tournament organisers declared that racism has no place in football. Imagine a similar ...

Michael Tomasky: Don't ask don't tell don't engage with reality	27.5.2010	The Guardian -- World Latest
More seriously on don't ask, don't tell, I found this very interesting today: On a conference call with reporters today, Family Research Council Senior Fellow for Policy Studies Peter Sprigg delivered the results of what he said was the first-ever study of "homosexual assault" in the military. Joined by several former military officers opposed to allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly in the armed forces, he warned Congress that the DADT repeal language currently under discussion with the agreement of the White House will turn the U.S. military into a terrifying free-rape zone where no heterosexual is safe. "We are today releasing an analysis of publicly available documents which show that homosexuals in the military are three times ...
