Some news stories that caught our eye this week:
- Girls in the UK who are scared their families are taking them out of the country in order to force them into marriage, are hiding spoons in their underwear.
- “My first marriage taught me that abuse is not always obvious to the victim, nor those closest to her/him. It begins with love, dreams and promises of a happy life together. Slowly this changed, and after giving in to a series of outbursts, I found myself in a position that I had never dreamed of.”
- Native Americans are pointing out that beyond environmental problems, the Keystone Pipeline will cause an “onslaught of violence against women and families that energy development brings against our people.”
- Enjoy this charming fantasy of alternatives to street harassment (explicit language).
