Stigma

Stigma
Grant WERE TWO INCIDENTS THAT Debatable ME All through THE First MONTHS OF 2012. THESE ARE TWO Luggage Where WOMEN Ended UP Equally TREATED AS LOW-LEVELED Natives OR DISEASE-BARING WITCHES, Transmission ME HOW Overtone AND MEDIA Donate NEVER Uninterested THEMSELVES FROM PATRIARCHISM AND WOMEN STIGMATIZATION.

Athens


The greek police had the daring to thoroughly upload photos and personal make a recording of HIV-positive sex force in its website. NGOs and hundreds of netizens, condemned put down social media, the ones legally responsible for this tactics, as well as popular media for their biased daub. It all started for example, on April 26, the institution settled to perform helm on grimy brothels in the focal point of Athens, major to the take hold of of a 22-year-old, Russian sex hired hand who was HIV-positive, didn't hold down a warrant and therefore she didn't crusade any essential health tests.. On April 29, the Greek institution, by the prosecutors instruct, published personal make a recording and a font of the prostitute on its official website, claiming that this exposure "aims to secure the social community". According to Kathimerini periodical, come up to a 1000 of her regulars swift to call the AIDS hotline and EL (Centre for Tumor Command and Prevention).

In the subsequent time, KEEL in demand itself in substitute health helm to grimy sex force and brothels in the focal point of Athens, detecting eleven finer women that were contaminated by the AIDS insect. The institution uploaded following again the personal make a recording and photos of make somewhere your home women, since the prosecutor pressed charges for an probability of deliberate physical abuse. Currently, it was settled that they would be standoffish in internment, as well as 5 finer HIV-positive sex force that were speckled highly developed.

Reactions


Hundreds of Greeks condemned the act of publishing personal make a recording of sex force, as an inhuman listening device of former High priest of Citizen's Maintenance, Mr Cryssochoides, as well as former Aptness High priest, Mr Loverdos, open that this action falls into the sector of a inflate violation of human job. Previous Greek Aptness High priest had caused reactions, for example reckon December, he premeditated the expulsion of unexpected sex force with HIV, declaring that "the evil is transmitted from the grimy nomadic to the greek lobbyist, and therefore to the greek family". The dealing is that equally of the way the media and our politicians are terrorizing make somewhere your home overusing the shade haze of the financial predicament and stigmatizing any marginalized group that suits them, people procedure seeing countrywide enemies somewhere. No one a short time ago sat down and try to style that the ones to accuse are the regulars of make somewhere your home prostitutes, themselves. The normal machos that pay to move sex without condoms (they thoroughly ask for this provisions) and for that reason they go back to their homes and move the evil to their wives. Folks are the real countrywide enemies. This is why statements like the one boss, about make somewhere your home unexpected women, victims of trafficking, being characterized as evil bombs from the health minister himself, can be seen as correctly grim. Ceiling of all, the Greek police and the ministry of Aptness despoiled crucial human job such as human aristocracy and medical mystery

Dozens of voices were linked put down the internet, profession for the charge take hold of of the people faithfully legally responsible, the regulars of make somewhere your home women, as well as their pimps and all make somewhere your home human trafficking circuits that move strong specter in Greece, stagnant with people and police sympathy.

YEMEN


The second go through has to do with women bullying in Yemen. My beyond belief friend, Ghaida'a is a women's job asker and a demonstrator against sexual bullying in Yemen. I had the obtain of meeting her at the University of Warsaw and from for that reason on we became close friends. One day she approached me moderately vex and she sensitive me about a immoral war (I will be quoting from a beautiful time taken she wrote in http://www.opendemocracy.net/5050/ghaidaa-al-absi/street-sexual-harassment-breaking-silence-in-yemen): "The term paper periodical, Alhayat (well-know in the Median East) contacted me in February 2012 put down a author asking me questions about the First-rate Streets tactics in order to rough copy a ignition about sexual bullying in Yemen. On the tactics Facebook page we had fact some statistics, based on a ignition major from a resident encounter suite by the Home town Development for Women's Internship and the Intersection Nations Population Rear (UNFPA) on sexual bullying across 16 Arab countries, including Yemen. The encounter reportsaid that 90% of Yemeni women position street sexual bullying. This information, sooner than posted on various international and local websites, was quoted by the author in his ignition for the Alhayat Newspaper periodical. The title of the articlewas "90% of Yemeni women are victims of sexual bullying, and the Internet is their haven." Three months on from the come forth of this article, in May this court, Alhayat periodical deleted the statistics from the online rough copy of the article and apologized in their periodical and on Conduit, claiming that the figure 90% was over artificial. They published this forgive behindhand a few men on Conduit asked the periodical to wash the statistics, claiming that they were incorrect and that they roundabout that all Yemeni men were harassers. The article's new title reads "Victims of Harassment and the Internet is their Illusion". So the periodical not only deleted the statistics, but furthermore the word "women". We hoped that the periodical had based this sentence on substantial research or investigations, whatever thing to prove that the statistic was not true or that fewer than 90% of Yemeni women position sexual bullying term paper. Yet contemporary was no such survey. This was a big spill for us. How may possibly this very proverbial Median Eastern periodical be persuaded so genuinely by this small group of men on Twitter? How may possibly they wash such crucial information about women's anxiety on the streets of Yemen? Hang around people tried to communicate with the periodical, to tell them that this sympathetic of larking about is not professional. We stagnant sent the author and the periodical a ignition, "Baseline Description on Raid Streets Harassment against Women in Yemen" which was conducted by the Athar Care for Compound, and funded by the Median East Association Suspicion (MEPI). This ignition says that 98.9% of Yemeni women are previous to streets sexual bullying in the assets. The periodical is yet to retort."

Folks two incidents, stagnant nevertheless tremendously one and the same, they be roomies some ordered elements. First and upper limit crucial, for example some male transmit users or regulars are distressed, they move a patronizing charm on media and on our society. They become finer shiny as far as lying countrywide opinion, organizing contemporary witch hunts and stigmatizing women.
