Just off the top of my head: Freetown, Sierra Leone with the hit or miss helicopters to the main land; Monrovia, Liberia; Kinshasa, DRC; Kathmandu, Nepal; Islamabad, Pakistan; Kabul, Afghanistan; Thandwe, Myanmar, and the old terminal in Doha, Qatar were all much much worse than Dulles on its worst day. CDG and JFK…

She won't go to her sister's wedding because she doesn't have time and money to do it but expects her sister who is also a bride to be to have the money and time to do it for her? Whatever, you don't own the year just bcause you are getting married. Either go because you love and support her or don't.
Also, she did not head up the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict. That was Angelina Jolie. She attended it. As did hundreds of other women and activistis.
Also - Jezebel writers - I know you highlight these things because you care about gender-based violence and want to educate the population about domestic violence so why not read these guidelines? They have great tips on how to link the domestic murders to a biggr trend in society. https://www.idph.state.ia.us/bh/commo…
Why not make this headline more accurate -Woman stalked and murdered by former boyfriend? The risk of strangers is often blown out of proportion relation to domestic violence and sexual assault. The majority of violence against women (81%) is perpetrated by someone known to the victim . By mentioning the relationship…
We need to start a fund on kickstarter to buy decongestants for all these nasally female singers.
Was visiting my cousin. I bet it was her poster! Being circulated around america.
Your grandma isn't in a nursing home in Topeka Kansas is she? I swear to god I saw that poster in Aldersgate this morning.
I live in Bangkok, Thailand. I think in general, the issue is that Thais are not taught about the Holocaust or much about Western history. For them, World War II was about the Japanese atrocities (and many of us in the West don't know that much about that). And Germany is far away from them and not that relevant to…
I feel like I'm having that right now... I'm a gender-based violence in conflict expert and I'm just so DAMN TIRED of fighting for it to be recognized and seeing it happen and reading the same stuff over and over again that I'm ready to throw in the towel. I think I just need a break but maybe I need a 5 year break…
I am a woman who travels alone a lot and also for work as a humanitarian aid worker to a lot of sketchy places. I recently wrote this chapter of a book for security for women travelers. Its compiled from tips from all my awesome women traveler friends!
I didn't see it that way at all. The issue of men as rape survivors is important but they were mentioned in the movie. I for one am looking forward to see it. Kudos to the film makers for making this film. I'm glad we are talking about it and that the men who came forward as survivors are speaking out and let's focus…
I also say - EXCUSE ME- point to the seat next to them and proceed to climb in. Also, if I see an old person or a pregnant woman or a person with disabilities who need a seat and someone is hogging two - I tap them on the shoulder and say "Do you mind moving so they can sit?" and if they refuse, I stand up and…
I complete agree with you. The fact that we seem to think its fine to have men raped in prison as part of their sentence shows how insensitive we have become to the issue of rape. No one deserves to be raped - no matter what they have done. Great Job, Heather Dee.
that's a great tribute to him.
Fear not, he's from North Carolina. He may have been born in SC but he lived and worked in NC for his whole career.
Actually - if you read her article, she says "Call out the hate for what it is. Resist cultural relativism and know that even in countries undergoing revolutions and uprisings, women will remain the cheapest bargaining chips. You — the outside world — will be told that it's our "culture" and "religion" to do X, Y, or…
I didn't like the photos that they chose to use to accompany this article (you don't normally see photos like this in Foreign Policy either so it was odd) and I agree with her that they are provocative and sexist but
I live in Bangkok and thankfully I wear a 6.5 in shoes but when I walk in and ask for a 37, they always sneer as if to say - dream on farang but then are shocked when they see these tiny feet under my body!
