Showing results for "Rape" in Politics & Social Sciences

In December 1937, in the capital of China, one of the most brutal massacres in the long annals of wartime barbarity occurred. The Japanese army swept into the ancient city of Nanking and within weeks not only looted and burned the defenseless city but systematically raped, tortured and murdered more than 300,000 Chinese civilians. Amazingly, the story of this atrocity- one of the worst in world history- continues to be denied by the Japanese government.

The Beginning and End of Rape collects and expands the powerful writings in which Deer has advocated for cultural and legal reforms to protect Native women from endemic sexual violence and abuse.

Bestsellerautorin Rebekka Endler wagt sich in ihrem neuen Werk an die große Frage nach den Ursachen des Patriarchats und untersucht misogyne Mythen, die bis heute unser Denken und Handeln bestimmen. Die Erklärung "Männer und Macht" greift aus Rebekka Endlers Sicht viel zu kurz, und so fragt sie: Was bringt so viele Frauen dazu, auch heute noch von einem rettenden Märchenprinzen zu träumen? Was steckt hinter der Mommy-Blogger-Welle und welche Funktion haben Frauenbilder wie Zicken, Witches, Bitches und It-Girls?

Gordon Braxton was in his second year of college before anybody bothered to speak to him about sexual violence, despite the fact that he already knew friends and family members that had survived sexual assault. Unfortunately, this is a common experience, as many young men and boys, especially Black boys, do not have an opportunity to discuss their views on sexual violence and what role they might play in preventing it. Empowering Black Boys to Challenge Rape Culture supports the training of a rising generation by providing commentary from an experienced educator.

It’s a deep dive into how different institutions - the NCAA, athletic departments, universities, the media - run the same plays over and over again when these stories break.

The "Me Too" movement has been very effective in highlighting the widespread prevalence and horrific realities of sexual violence globally. The WHO estimates that 1 out of 3 women has suffered from sexual violence. I strongly believe that in order to solve an issue, we need to understand its root causes and then take actions to solve it. I also believe that, as a society, we have both the power to fight against this problem as well as a responsibility to do it. The aim of this podcast will thus be to look at the issue from a variety of different angles and identify opportunities for actions.
