14Kgold on Jezebel in the days of yore, and some others; you can call me 14K. Back in my ancestral stomping grounds of NYC, teaching, editing, feeding a music addiction. I love learning; if you can teach me something, I'm all ears. I'd love to teach you what I can in return. Nota bene: I can accept an initial lack of knowledge, but I'm too old to tolerate bullshit. If you prefer willful ignorance, this ain't the place for you.

selchieproductions: I just downloaded this book from this page. Some things that are mentioned in the book; ‘Minority and indigenous women are in particularly vulnerable positions because they often come from poor socio-economic backgrounds and live in remote areas. They have little access to justice and in many cases face discrimination from the police and the judicial system because of their minority status and because of their gender.’ 100% of all Batwa women, an indigenous people in Uganda have experienced physical violence and in many cases these abuses are still going on. When indigenous women report rape, their reports are treated as less serious than they would have been treated, had the women not been indigenous. ‘Much has been achieved over the last decade to highlight the scourge of violence against women around the world. But development agencies, governments and human rights activists need to realise that not all women face the same obstacles, and that violence against women often has a particular ethnic or religious dimension’
