Sexual abuse why does it happen

- A + A CANBERRA (June 23): A landmark inquiry into Australia's mining sector has uncovered dozens of shocking cases of sexual harassment and abuse of women workers at companies including BHP Group and Rio Tinto Group. The Western Australia government report released on Thursday described "horrific" incidents at the workplaces, which it labelled both a failure of the industry and an oversight by government. Among recommendations were the payment of compensation to the many workers who became victims of bosses and colleagues on remote projects. "I was shocked and appalled well beyond expectation by the size and depth of the problem," Libby Mettam, chair of the inquiry, said in the report. "To hear the lived reality of the taunts, attacks, and targeted violence, the devastation and despair the victims experienced, the threats to or loss of their livelihood that resulted was shattering and completely inexcusable." The probe delves into the dark corners of an industry … [Read more...] about ‘Horrific’ sexual abuses uncovered in Australia mining probe

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin This man’s trip turned out to be super, in a super gonorrhea type of way. A case report just published in the journal Eurosurveillance described what happened to an Austrian man during and after his trip to Cambodia. And the punch-to-the-groin-line of the story is that this man in his 50’s ended up catching a new extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strain of Neisseria gonorrhoeae . This is one situation where trying something new is not good. This new strain has a high-level of resistance to azithromycin and resistance to ceftriaxone, cefixime, cefotaxime, ciprofloxacin and tetracycline. It’s the second such XDR strain of N. gonorrhoeae that’s been found, according to the case report authors from the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety (Sonja Pleininger, Alexander Indra, Florian Heger, and Stefanie Schindler), Örebro University (Daniel Golparian, Susanne Jacobsson, and Magnus Unemo), and LKH Hochsteiermark … [Read more...] about New Super Gonorrhea Strain Detected, Causes Sexually Transmitted Infection In Austrian Man

- A + A NEW YORK (June 23): Ghislaine Maxwell should be sentenced to between 30 and 55 years in prison after being convicted of helping the sex offender and globetrotting financier Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls, US prosecutors said on Wednesday. Maxwell, 60, was convicted in December by a federal jury on five charges, including sex trafficking, for recruiting and grooming four girls between 1994 and 2004 for sexual encounters with Epstein, then her boyfriend. In a sentencing memorandum filed in Manhattan federal court, prosecutors called Maxwell's conduct "shockingly predatory." "She was a calculating, sophisticated, and dangerous criminal who preyed on vulnerable young girls and groomed them for sexual abuse," they wrote. "Her practice of targeting vulnerable victims reflects her view that struggling young girls could be treated like disposable objects." Circuit Judge Alison Nathan, who presided over Maxwell's four-week trial before being … [Read more...] about US prosecutors seek jail term of 30 to 55 years for Ghislaine Maxwell

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline A World Health Organization emergency committee will meet Thursday to decide whether the monkeypox outbreak constitutes a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC), a major test for the agency after it was widely criticized for how it handled the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic. Key Facts A PHEIC is the WHO’s highest alert level under international law and is declared by the Director-General on the advice of an expert committee. The purpose is to raise public awareness and sound the alarm for governments to take steps to contain an outbreak, as well as provide guidance on what measures they should take to do so. In deciding whether the monkeypox outbreak merits a PHEIC designation, the group will assess it against three criteria : if it is serious, sudden, unusual or unexpected, if it has potential for international spread and if it requires a coordinated global response. … [Read more...] about WHO Calls Urgent Meeting Over Whether Monkeypox Outbreak Signals International Emergency

(CNN Business) Elizabeth Holmes, the former CEO of Theranos who was convicted earlier this month on four out of 11 federal fraud and conspiracy charges, will not be sentenced until September 26, according to a new filing. The prosecution and defense had proposed September 12 for a sentencing hearing in a court filing Tuesday, stating in the filing that "following Labor Day 2022 would be appropriate in light of ongoing proceedings in a related matter," a reference to the upcoming trial of Holmes' second-in-command at Theranos who faces the same charges as her. In a court order signed Wednesday, Judge Edward Davila, who is presiding over Holmes' case, set her sentencing hearing for later in September. By that point, it will have been more than a full year since her trial kicked off. Until then, Holmes remains free on a $500,000 bond secured by property, according to the earlier filing from the prosecution and defense. According to the indictment, Holmes … [Read more...] about Elizabeth Holmes sentencing hearing set for September 26

PETALING JAYA: A one-stop centre should be set up to speed up the licensing and registration of all illegal childcare centres, say childcare providers. Such a facility involving relevant government agencies including the Welfare Department, Fire and Rescue Department, Health Ministry and local authorities would cut down the application and approval process that could take months or even over a year, they say. Association of Registered Childcare Providers president Anisa Ahmad said red tape in the paperwork process and difficulties in meeting local councils’ requirements were the main roadblocks to childcare centres obtaining an operating licence. Each district had different requirements and childcare centres in some areas had to pay assessment at commercial rates, she said. “To encourage the registration and licensing of childcare centres, we must have this one-stop centre where all the relevant agencies are under one roof. “It will help centre owners with the applications … [Read more...] about ‘Have agencies under one roof to oversee childcare centres’

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Most producers focus on producing content for full-length films or television series, which creates a glut of producers (supply) compared to potential distributors of that content (demand). This imbalance leads to inevitable results under the law of supply and demand, putting producers at a distinct disadvantage. Given the bourgeoning means of distribution in this digital age, producers would gain an advantage if they focused on creating content for alternative platforms. I routinely hear from budding producers with grand plans for the next “Star Wars” franchise before they get their feet wet with smaller projects, which is just not going to happen. If they gained traction and credibility by proving their chops by producing content for alternative platforms, they would have more leverage in later creating film and TV content if that is their desire. One way to gain traction is to create shorts that can be shown on social … [Read more...] about CREATING CONTENT FOR ALTERNATIVE DIGITAL MEDIA

The arrests followed a police raid on the area. The couple were brought to the local police station. While her boyfriend was beaten and tortured in a separate cell, Adinda was blindfolded, drugged and gang-raped by police officers over four days. The police demanded Rp95 million (US$6,500) to end her ordeal and drop all charges – an unfathomable amount for someone earning below the poverty line in Indonesia. My latest research shows that experiences similar to Adinda’s rape, physical abuse and extortion at the hands of police officers are rampant in Indonesia. … [Read more...] about Research shows how Indonesia’s drug control victimizes women and puts their health at risk
