Having told my story, I feel that a huge burden has been lifted. My secrets are now in the open and I believe that no girl or woman in the world should have such dark secrets hiding in her heart. I want to encourage all women who are or have suffered the indignation of abuse to break free of the silence, live their lives with joy and look for ways to lift up others as well. Together, we can give voice to the voiceless, all over the world.

Marilyn Fayre Milos was a nursing student on the obstetrical unit in 1979 when she first witnessed a baby being circumcised. The only person to step forward to comfort the infant as it writhed and screamed in pain during the surgery, she was shocked when the doctor said to her: “There is no medical reason for doing this.” From that moment on, Marilyn became an advocate for ending medically unnecessary circumcision, protecting our children, and educating parents, the public, and medical professionals about this cultural fraud and violation of human rights.

1800 से 1925 ई. के मध्य, भील क्षेत्रों के लगभग दो सौ से अधिक भील मुखियाओं का संघर्ष कभी प्रकाश में नहीं आया था। खानदेश, मध्यभारत और महाराष्ट्र के ज्यादातर भील विद्रोह अछूते रह गए थे। 1857 के विद्रोह का जिक्र करते समय काजी सिंह, भीमा नायक, भागोजी, पुत्ता सिंह, मवासिया, खाला नायक, दुलार सिंह, सीताराम बावा, रघुनाथ सिंह मंडलोई, भोमिया बिसेन सिंह और कालू बाबा आदि के योगदान को भुला दिया गया था। एक दमित, अशिक्षित और प्रताड़ित समाज के संघर्षमय इतिहास की यह अनदेखी वाकई में चिंता का कारण इसलिए भी है कि भीलों ने देशहित में कभी पीठ न दिखाई।

बीते कुछ समय से शेष भारत के लोगों के लिए कश्मीर राष्ट्रवाद के ‘उत्प्रेरक’ के तौर पर काम आने लगा है। ‘दूध माँगोगे तो खीर देंगे, कश्मीर माँगोगे तो चीर देंगे’ जैसे फ़िल्मी डायलॉग के ज़रिए जम्मू-कश्मीर को भारत और पाकिस्तान के भूगोल, इतिहास और संस्कृति-सभ्यता की बाइनरी में रखते हुए ‘पाने-खोने’ के विमर्शों में उलझाकर रख दिया गया है। इन सबके बीच कश्मीरियत भी है, जिस पर बात कम होती है। जम्मू-कश्मीर के लोग हैं, उनके मानवाधिकार, उनके नागरिक अधिकार हैं, तमाम गंभीर, मौखिक और कथित क़ानूनी आरोप झेलते घाटी के युवा हैं, जो अपना भविष्य अंधकार में पाते हैं।

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a landmark document in the history of human rights, and Eleanor Roosevelt played a significant role in its development. The UDHR was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948, in Paris. It was drafted by representatives from different legal and cultural backgrounds, including Eleanor Roosevelt, who chaired the United Nations Commission on Human Rights.

This book is about freedom and the right to have an opinion. A concept that has been fought over for centuries. Whilst we think of Australia as being a free society, You Can't Say That! challenges this notion, arguing that the freedoms all Australians once enjoyed have been systematically eroded over last few decades, and how, as a nation, we must fight to get them back.

President and CEO of Mercy For Animals Leah Garcés explains how food and farming policies have failed over decades and offers insights into the wave of change coming from a new crop of farmers and communities who are constructing a humane and sustainable farming system. Factory animal farming faces an abundance of issues—from environmental concerns and animal cruelty, to exploited farmers and poor working conditions—and more and more farmers are searching for a way out and for a new start.

An esteemed activist invites us to consider the complex idea of abolition as much more than a strategy or a set of tactics—at a deeper level, abolition is an entire political framework, culture, and orientation.

Journalist Alison Owings slips behind the cold statistics and sensationalism surrounding San Francisco’s Tenderloin to reveal a harrowing and life-affirming account of Del Seymour—whose addiction led him into eighteen years of homelessness, pimping, and drug dealing. Once sober, he started Tenderloin Walking Tours and later Code Tenderloin, the remarkable organization teaching homeless, recovering addicts, sex workers, dealers, ex-felons, and other marginalized people how to get and keep a job.

In this fifth edition of Basic Economics, Thomas Sowell revises and updates his popular book on commonsense economics, bringing the world into clearer focus through a basic understanding of the fundamental economic principles and how they explain our lives.

War Is a Racket is Marine General Smedley Butler's classic treatise on why wars are conducted, who profits from them, and who pays the price. Few people are as qualified as General Butler to advance the argument encapsulated in his book's sensational title. When War Is a Racket was first published in 1935, Butler was the most decorated American soldier of his time. He had led several successful military operations in the Caribbean and in Central America, as well as in Europe during the First World War.

‘चुनावनीति’ किताब जहाँ सियासी पार्टियों के चुनावी हथकंडों के बारे में बताती है, वहीं भारत की लोकतांत्रिक और संघीय व्यवस्था पर पड़ रहे इसके नकारात्मक प्रभाव को भी रेखांकित करती है। यह समझना बहुत ज़रूरी है कि पॉलिटिकल पंडितों ने चुनावों को समझने के लिए जिन सिद्धांतों को सेट किया है, वे तर्कों और तथ्यों के साथ मेल नहीं खा रही हैं। सच यह है कि चुनावों को किसी सेट फॉर्मूले के आधार पर समझा नहीं जा सकता।

Today, it looks as though we are going to lose our half-ass democracy because the voters in this country are sick and tired for voting for the same old same old time after time. It's every Tweedle-Dee or Tweedle-Dumb, while in the states we are allowed to lower our taxes and legalize marijuana. The people are wondering why we don't do this on the National Elections. The reason we don't is covered in this book as well as complete instructions on how we can start using National Ballot Measures in every federal election and create our own national laws and policies.

General McInerney’s Warning: On Nov 2, 2020, McInerney went on the Steve Bannon War Room. He said Biden would win because Democrats were going to use a CIA Special Access Program (SAP) called Hammer and Scorecard to steal the election from President Trump.

Neste livro, os traços que o notabilizaram em obras anteriores aparecem em sua potência máxima. O tema escolhido não é trivial: simplesmente a encrenca em que o Brasil se meteu nos últimos tempos, que desaguou na eleição de um presidente avesso à democracia e na devastação do debate público, transformando adversários em inimigos e a arena de ideias num ringue de mentecaptos.

In Dying to Save You, Dr. William Queale takes you behind the scenes of our sickcare system. He uses deeply personal stories to explain how we got here and how systems thinking can get us out. But Dying to Save You isn’t just about medicine, science, and healthcare policy. This book is about you—and how you can stay out of the sickcare system altogether.

A collection of Jackson's letters from prison, Soledad Brother is an outspoken condemnation of the racism of white America and a powerful appraisal of the prison system that failed to break his spirit but eventually took his life. Jackson's letters make palpable the intense feelings of anger and rebellion that filled Black men in America's prisons in the 1960s. But even removed from the social and political firestorms of the 1960s, Jackson's story still resonates for its portrait of a man taking a stand even while locked down.

This book is about the fallacy of freedom. An astute analysis and critical critique of the popular faith called freedom is offered in the hopes of reducing bias, prejudices and fanaticism regarding the theory and concept of the pro-freedom philosophy. There are many dangerous societal flaws with the idea and spread of freedom which are often disguised despite their dangers to traditional religions as well as communal and individual religiosity.
