A single clinic in the capital, Harare, says it has treated nearly 30,000 girls and boys who were abused in the past four years ‑ an average... Prostitution: a crime of purchasing
"Peers have been debating the policing and crime bill. Their deliberations mean that the government will take a historic step: instead of controlling prostitution by punishing women, it will penalise the purchasers – the men."

"Can it be true that male doctors earn an average of £15,000 more a year than their female colleagues?" And if it is true, what pray tell, could explain the difference in salaries?

"As a gay child, and in common with many gay children, I was terrified for most of my school life. My earliest sexual encounters – which all occurred before the age of consent (21 at that time) – were unsafe... Kate Moss' motto gives comfort to 'pro-anorexic' community
"When the supermodel Kate Moss, in a rare online interview this week, told readers that one of her mottos was "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels", the fallout was instant, vitriolic and damning." How horribly ill-conceived was this remark by Kate Moss? (Let's face it,... Uganda is sanctioning gay genocide

"A 20-year-old woman divorcee accused of committing adultery in Somalia has been stoned to death by Islamists in front of a crowd of about 200 people." Is this a sign of the patriarchy hard at work? Or is it evidence of the age-old practice of ritually humiliating 'wayward... New warning on 'perfect vaginas'
"Women are undergoing surgery to create the perfect vagina amid a "shocking" lack of information on the potential risks of the procedure, a report says. Research published in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology also questions the very notion of aesthetically... Claims of sex abuse by women grow
"A huge rise in the number of children calling to report sexual abuse by women has been revealed by ChildLine. Over the past five years, the charity says the number of such calls has risen five times faster than youngsters reporting abuse by a man. Of 16,094 children who... Gender pay gap still as high as 50%, UK survey says
"Women are paid less than half as much as men in some parts of the UK, according to statistics published today that reveal huge regional variations in the pay gap between male and female workers." Some recent reading had led me to believe that this was a situation that was... Sexual Threats Stifle Some Female Bloggers
"A female freelance writer who blogged about the pornography industry was threatened with rape. A single mother who blogged about "the daily ins and outs of being a mom" was threatened by a cyber-stalker who... Women's Wages Outpaced Men's During Recession (US)
"The wages of the typical woman who had a job during the worst recession in decades rose faster than those of the typical man, new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show. Over the past two years, the wages... Reported rapes hit 20-year low
"Reported rapes have fallen to the lowest level in 20 years as DNA evidence helps send more rapists to prison and victims are more willing to work with police and prosecutors, victims advocates and crime researchers say."In some respects, I’m not entirely sure why I’m... Teen pregnancies on the rise for the first time in over a decade
"SOME blame demography, others the recession. It might have something to with gender roles, or the steady stream of mixed messages about being a teenage mum. Perhaps sexually transmitted infections are not the deterrent they once were."There is much debate about why teenage... Divorce Rate Triple for U.S. Female Soldiers, Report Finds
"More than 30,000 single mothers have deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. The Army, the most heavily deployed branch of the military, gives women just four months to stay stateside with their newborns before deploying to the war zone, leaving them little time to bond with or...
