Magazu received the sentence from an Islamic court for the crime of engaging in premarital sex, though she claimed to have been coerced into the act by three friends of her father. January 19, 2001 Kuwait’s high court dismissed a suit that sought rights for women to vote and run for office. The Constitutional Court rejected the case, as it did last year for similar cases, on "procedural grounds." January 8, 2001 Three US servicemen have been charged with molesting two 15-year-old girls in Southern Japan. The allegations came just hours after the US forces lifted recreation restrictions on servicemen in Okinawa, which had been in place for six months following a similar sex assault case in July involving a Marine and a 14-year-old girl; both cases recall the 1995 rape of an Okinawan 12-year-old by three US soldiers."Overall, female techies in the United States earn an average 92 cents for every dollar their male counterparts earn, averaging $5,071 less in yearly pay than men. For full-time professionals in all US industries, women earn less than 75 percent of what men earn, according to the US Census Bureau." (CNET News)In United States (taken from April 23, 1992 report from the National Victim Center):*The United States has the world's highest rape rate of the countries that publish such statistics---4 times higher than Germany, 13 times higher than England, and 20 times higher than Japan. 78% of rape victims know the attacker. 1 in 12 male students surveyed had committed acts that met the legal definition of rape. Furthermore, 84% of the men who had committed such acts said what they had done was definitely not rape.------------------I want to go out blazing..not fade away.Trust in the currency of relationships, it's hard to earn but easy to loose - back2basics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
