Houzan Mahmoud of the Organization of Women’s Freedom in Iraq, speaks of how the Imperialist invasion and occupation of Iraq has affected women, forcing many into sexual-slavery. Along with Nadya Khalife of HRW Houzan was interviewed by Rachelle Kliger of The Media Line. Full text at link. Houzan said that since 2003 more than 70% of Iraqis have lost their jobs, a situation compounded by a lack of welfare provisions. “We have more than four million widows in Iraq… who will provide for these women? The situation created absolute poverty, particularly for women, and these women have virtually no other option but to turn to prostitution. There’s nothing called choice in this,” she stressed. “They are either being forced into it because of the economic and political situation or because of a lack of security, whereby women and young girls are being kidnapped.” read full story / add a comment

Dont buy items with feathers/duvets, jackets, hanging decorations, xmas decorations,....etc.. Down is the soft layer of feathers closest to birds’ skin, primarily on the chest area. These feathers are valued because they do not have any hard quills. Products labeled as “down” may contain a combination of these underfeathers and other feathers or fillers. While most down and feathers are removed from birds during slaughter, geese from breeders and ones bred for meat and those on foie gras farms may be live-plucked. , read full story / add a comment

In an interview, Mary Lou McDonald said she supports the public service workers and wants to see social welfare rates protected. Sinn Fein has offered an alternative to the slash and burn economics of the government which seem to be being accepted by the other political parties. By raising taxes while stimulating the economy and protecting the lower paid, the deepening of this recession can be avoided. read full story / add a comment

Ireland is not alone in having its children abused psychologically, physically, emotionally and sexually by the catholic hierarchy. It is particularly unfortunate because Catholicism was so closely linked to politics north and south particularly after 1922 and the de Valera constitution in 1937. No matter how horrified everyone is at this litany of abuse, any criticism of the church leaves one open to Loyalist triumphalism and resentment from practising Catholics who are obviously smarting from the deception and hypocrisy. However some questions have to be asked. read full story / add a comment

This article forcuses on the significance of the recent revelations in the Murphy Report for the left. Anne Mc Shane argues that the left needs to take up the struggle for democracy against the Irish state. With the church exposed once again for their sanctimonious hypocritical and abusive behaviour the time is right for such a challenge. read full story / add a comment |
