A society of ignominy, dishonour but authorities remains shameless

Situation is not better in Asia, where 40% girls are sold to brothels. A recent government commissioned survey in India of 2007, revealed 53% children are victims of sexual abuse.

Though, very few countries lack regulations to protect children, conviction rate remain abysmally low. Perpetrators go scot free because, either victims fail to present witnesses or evidences or culprits bribe police & the judicial system. If it goes on like this, it would be like giving incentives to the likes of our home grown Santosh Singhs & Surinder Kohlis to continue with their mayhem because civilised society is too weakkneed to deliver justice to the mother of our progenies.

Game over!?

When does a compulsive habit become an addiction? When does a type of behaviour begin bordering on obsession? These and other such questions were pondered over at the American Medical Association’s annual policy meet recently. On the crosshairs of the AMA were video games and their possible addictive side-effects. Apparently, AMA has been trying to get video game addiction declared a psychiatric disorder by petitioning American Psychiatric Association to include it in their mental illness manual. This move comes amidst growing fear amongst parents, of the alleged harmful effects of video games on children. “I’ve seen children barely 6- 7 years old showing signs of compulsive behaviour, not performing their age-appropriate responsibilities, neglecting studies and outdoor play, just to play video games”, says Dr. Jitendra Nagpal, Consultant Psychiatrist, Vimhans Hospital. Although not yet proved an addiction, video games have been getting more than their share of attention from young, predominantly male, minds.

5th of April, 2007....Ugandan women will remember

Well, the date is important as Uganda’s biased adultery laws got their first hit on that day. But first the background! Ugandan adultery laws for years have had a biased clause, wherein, any woman having an extramarital relation could be punished with a fine or imprisonment of up to 10 years, while a man could have an affair without any conditions. The law unbelievably allowed married men of Uganda have extramarital affairs or relationships with any unmarried women. The law ordained that a man could only be prosecuted if he had an affair with a married woman. Not that Uganda is the benchmark of human rights, but still, such an adultery law busiquestioned the basic tenet of equality of men and women. The Law and Advocacy Group for Women in Uganda, a women’s rights advocacy group, challenged these clauses; and finally, on April 5, 2007, Uganda’s Court ordered changes in the adultery law, paving way for it to be scrapped totally. The case provides a leading beacon for women in African countries against this new-age apartheid! Protesting works... so what if late!
