• USA: Doctors and Nurses Are Increasingly Helping Criminalize Pregnant Women and Mothers
  17 March 2017, by siawi3

  To understand why care providers are increasingly acting like arms of the police we must grasp how tendencies in both medicine and law have converged to make the doctor-patient relationship—which should be one of the safest and most inviolable—fraught with danger for pregnant women and mothers.

• Algérie : Le phénomène des enlèvements et des assassinats s’accroît - Les femmes et les enfants sont les plus ciblés
  13 septembre 2016, par siawi3

  La violence, parfois même dans ses formes les plus extrêmes, ne cesse de sévir sous le regard impuissant des autorités. La rue cherche à stigmatiser la victime, trouver des circonstances atténuantes au premier et maudire la femme « qui l’a provoqué ».

• Bangladesh: Forced conversion of religion after abduction
  2 July 2013, by siawi3

  A new phenomenon where men kidnap 10-16-year-old girls from minority communities and force them to sign declarations that they are adults and wish to change their religion to Islam to get married. Law enforcers initially refuse to accept kidnapping charges in such incidents and try to tag such crimes as love affairs. They overlook the issue of forced conversion. State minister of women affairs, Meher Afroz Chumky, said gender sensitisation and issues of women rights and equality should be included in the present education system.

• Le Président du Chili soutient une fillette de 11 ans, violée, qui dit vouloir garder sa grossesse
  12 juillet 2013, par siawi3

  Le Chili reste fermement conservateur pour les questions sociales, quatre décennies après la dictature. Il a légalisé le divorce en 2004, devenant un des derniers pays au monde accordant ce droit à des couples mariés. Le Sénat chilien a rejeté trois propositions de loi qui aurait relâché l’interdiction absolue de d’avortement. En Amérique latine, seul Cuba, l’Uruguay et certains gouvernements locaux rendent accessibles un avortement précoce à toutes les femmes. L’Uruguay a récemment passé une loi autorisant le choix de l’avortement dans les trois premiers mois de la grossesse dans la loi la plus libérale sur l’avortement en Amérique latine. Beaucoup de pays dans la région interdisent l’avortement en toutes circonstances.

• Chilean president praises raped girl, 11, for going through with pregnancy
  12 July 2013, by siawi3

  Chile remains firmly conservative in social matters four decades after the dictatorship. It legalised divorce in 2004, becoming one of the last in the world to grant married couples the right. The Chilean senate rejected three bills in 2012 that would have eased the absolute ban on abortion. In Latin America only Cuba, Uruguay and some local governments make early abortions accessible to all women. Uruguay recently passed a law authorising elective abortions in the first three months of pregnancy in the most liberal law of its kind in Latin America. Many countries in the region outlaw abortion in all circumstances.

  After the first denounciation, Mr.Ramadan said he was filing for defamation. However, Ms. Ayari’s lawyers said they had yet to see any complaint of defamation filed by Mr. Ramadan. Neither Mr. Ramadan nor his lawyer has responded to the accusations by the second woman.
  One lawyer said Mr. Ramadan was using his numerous supporters to defend him. “He prefers to give space on social media to his fans,” Mr. Leclerc said, “who are throwing a political-religious veil over this affair, to try to detract from the fundamental.”
