 A REALITY CHECK OF MENSTURATION IN RURAL INDIA   SUBMITTED BY: CHESHTA LAMBA  For many of us, menstruation is a normal process that occurs every month. While we might suffer from minor annoyances such as pain and discomfort, it doesn’t usually have impact our personal and professional development. For many girls in the world, this is not the case. Menstruation prevents them from going to school or to work, and sometimes from performing daily activities like cooking, praying, exercising or even being in their own homes. Widespread restrictions and negative perceptions around menstruation contribute to strong gender disparities in health, education and work participation. In India, which is ranked 125 out of 151 countries in the HDI Gender Inequality Index, menstruation is still a barrier to achieving gender equality. This is true for urban slums but even more so for women in rural areas. The statistics are in fact quite alarming if we take into account that the average years of schooli

CHOOSE THE RIGHT PRODUCT  Many humans have enormous sympathy for animals but are confused where to begin to avoid cruelty to them. There are several ways you may aid in the battle against animal cruelty. Remember that education, awareness, and direct action all have a role in ending animal cruelty. Products that have been tested on animals should be avoided. Animals are used to test a wide range of things, from cosmetics to medicinal medications. Animal rights activists are opposed to the usage of such goods for a variety of reasons. Animals suffer from harsh physical side effects as a result of testing, lab settings are sometimes tight and uncomfortable, and animals are frequently murdered or die inadvertently throughout the procedure. Understand which items are likely to be tested on animals and avoid them. Every year, Olay, one of the world's top skin care businesses, conducts 400,000 skin care safety studies, many of which are likely to be performed on animals. Avon, a cosmetic

A Case Study on Animal testing

Image
  A case study on animal testing -Cheshta lamba Imagine a society where cruel experiments on human subjects are conducted on them in labs. a world where individuals are injected with harmful chemicals and pharmaceuticals that negatively impact their physical and mental health as well as their quality of life. If this situation doesn't seem appropriate for people, then it's impossible that it would be appropriate for animals. Thousands of animals are going through this right now, and it is very definitely unfair. Animal testing need to be banned since it is not only pointless, but it also violates animals' rights and is inhuman. The data on animal testing demonstrate the unethical and cruel practises it employs. Thousands of animals are occasionally needed for tests, which can last a month or even an animal's whole life. The tests have a terrible, painful effect on the animals that could lead to death. Up to 50% of all animals used for testing pass away. One of the n

Racism and migration

  RACISM AND MIGRATION Introduction Today, one in every 50 human beings is a migrant worker, a refugee or asylum-seeker, or an immigrant living in a ‘foreign’ country. Current estimates by the United Nations and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) are that some 175 million people live temporarily or permanently outside their countries of origin (2.5 per cent of the world’s population). Many of these, 80-97 million, are estimated to be migrant workers and members of their families. Another 12 million are refugees outside their country of origin. These figures do not include the estimated 20 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) forcibly displaced within their own country, nor tens of millions more of internal migrants, mainly rural to urban, in countries around the world. Given this picture of the scale of migration, it is not surprising that the Durban Conference gave extensive attention to migrants as a major category among the contemporary victims of racism, raci

Cyber crime (ATM frauds)

Image
ATM FRAUDS Computers also make more mundane types of fraud possible. Take the automated teller machine (ATM) through which many people now get cash. In order to access an account, a user supplies a card and personal identification number (PIN). Criminals have developed means to intercept both the data on the card’s magnetic strip as well as the user’s PIN. In turn, the information is used to create fake cards that are then used to withdraw funds from the unsuspecting individual’s account. For example, in 2002 the New York Times reported that more than 21,000 American bank accounts had been skimmed by a single group engaged in acquiring ATM information illegally. Normal ATM users cannot fight against such an attack on their banks. But with vigilance, they can help bring criminals to justice. The catalyst for the successful capture of the heisters was intel provided by citizens who, after noticing the foreign nationals acting suspiciously and gathering relevant information—i
