Femen Supporters Declare Topless Jihad Day after Death-By-Stoning Threats
The Tunisian activist, 19, posted 2 topless pictures online and received death threats. ‘Long live the topless jihad against infidels! Our tits are deadlier than your stones!’ says the Femen group.

Feminists of the world, throw down your chemises!
In support of the Tunisian activist Amina Tyler, who received death-by-stoning threats for posting two topless pictures online, feminist protesters have declared April 4, Topless Jihad Day — and called on women to bare their breasts as a show of solidarity.
Femen, a Ukraine-based protest group, has already united thousands of women for Anima, the 19-year-old Tunisian activist.
"This day will mark the beginning of a new, genuine Arab Spring, after which true freedom, freedom without mullahs and caliphs, will come to Tunisia," Femen said.
"Long live the topless jihad against infidels! Our tits are deadlier than your stones!"
The jihad is intended to further the group's indictment of "misogyny — Islamic or otherwise" that Amina catapulted to international attention with a topless picture of herself, with "F--k your morals" sprawled boldly across her torso.
A second image shows Amina reading a book and holding a cigarette with a message in Arabic: "My body belongs to me, and is not the source of anyone's honor."
Amina's protest outraged more conservative pockets of Tunisian society. Tunisian newspaper Assabah News quoted Almi Adel, who heads the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, as saying that Amina should die for taking the photos.
"The young lady should be punished according to Sharia, with 80 to 100 lashes, but (because of) the severity of the act she has committed, she deserves be stoned to death," he said.
"Her act could bring about an epidemic. It could be contagious and give ideas to other women. It is therefore necessary to isolate (the incident). I wish her to be healed."
A petition defending Amina already garnered more than 100,000 supporters, including noted evolutionary biologist and prominent atheist Richard Dawkins.
Likewise, hundreds of women challenged anyone who thinks "killing a woman is more natural than recognizing her right to do as she pleases with her own body" by inundating Femen with topless photos of themselves with supportive messages for Amina written across their breasts, many reading, "Free Amina."
As the controversy escalated, Amina receded from the public eye and the rumor mill began churning out theories of her whereabouts. Both French magazine Marianna and Femen recently claimed to have found Amina in her family's home where she is forbidden to communicate with the outside world.
"Topless protests are the battle flags of women's resistance," Femen said, "a symbol of a woman's acquisition of rights over her own body!"

In Pakistan, the Taliban Bomb One Girls Schools after Another
By Lucie Peytermann
March 30, 2013
MASHO GAGGAR - The freezing cold pierces through her long veil, her skinny body and bare feet exposed to the wintry elements. Crouching in order to avoid sitting on the wet ground, seven-year-old Samrin focuses on today’s lesson, her open textbook sitting in the dirt.
No classroom, no chairs, and no blackboard for this Pakistani schoolgirl: In the northwest village of Masho Gaggar, the lessons are taught outside, on dirty and dusty jute bags. Since her public primary school was bombed by the Taliban, Samrin and her classmates have been learning in the schoolyard of the village’s other overcrowded school.
Over the past few years, more than 1,200 schools in this remote region have been targeted by the Islamic rebels, mostly aimed at keeping girl students away. Recently, boys’ schools have also been under fire: five were destroyed in two days’ time early March.
The cruelty of the Pakistani Taliban, long-time allies of al-Qaeda, is a secret to no one. In an infamous October 2012 attack, the terrorist group shot 15-year-old Malala Yousafzai in the head as she returned home from school, as punishment for her efforts to develop girls' education. Yousafzai survived, and her case turned her into an international icon, and shined attention on the cause of female education in Pakistan.
Although Pakistani President Ali Asif Zardari has promised to raise a $10 million “Malala fund” to promote girl schooling around the world, his own country is continuing to disregard the state of its schools.
Indeed, Samrin’s 150 classmates –- just like the tens of thousands of other pupils living in this region -- have been suffering for two years now. On that recent blustery cold day, the girls try to remain active and hold themselves tight to keep warm. Their cheeks are red, even crackled.
In the district of Badaber, about nine miles away from Peshawar, the attacks against the schools are growing more frequent. This part of the country is already one of the least developed and the most vulnerable to terrorism. Given its location -- close to Afghanistan and al-Qaeda strongholds -- the Taliban can easily evade government troops.
The schools, protected by a single warden, are easy targets. Teaching in these conditions is nothing short of heroic. “My hands are sore from the letters I keep writing to the government,” declares 40-year-old teacher Riasat Begum from Masho Gaggar.
Since the previous school is now a pile of rubble, she teaches all the subjects outside, to six different classes. “It’s pathetic. Most of the girls get sick because of the cold, and we have no choice but to send them home. The constant noise isn’t helping their concentration either.”
Foreign donors
The numbers are appalling. Half of Pakistan’s population is illiterate. According to the United Nations, it ranks next-to-last in the world in terms of educating its children, with between five and seven million without a school.
In 2010, less than 10% of the budget was devoted to education; in comparison, the army is granted twice that budget, according to the World Bank. Many schools are financed by foreign donors.
The gap continues to widen between the students of westernized children bound to study in the best schools in English to get qualified jobs, and the rest of the country, condemned to learn in terrible conditions. Even worse: in some places, the Islamists are recruiting kamikazes right outside the schools.
American drones and Pakistani army offensives managed to dislodge the Taliban from several of their bases in the tribal areas. They have since moved closer to Peshawar and other urban cores. “The attacks have been more and more frequent since last year, Peshawar is more becoming a dangerous place to live,” says Khadim Hussain from the NGO Baacha Khan Trust, struggling for girl education.
Ehsanullah Ehsan, spokesman of the Pakistani Taliban, was reached by telephone. This is his creed: “These schools are spreading non-Islamic, anti-Islamic and non-religious ideologies,” he declares. “They are our enemies’ tool to pervert our society.”
The Taliban are now threatening the capital itself -- starting with its schools. In May 2012, two explosions destroyed part of the school of Chandi Korona, near Nowshera, two hours away from Islamabad. Now the 250 schoolgirls, shining in their crimson-red veiled uniform, study outside every morning, or in the middle of the ruins, under a roof that may or may not collapse. “We had a hard time convincing the parents to let them come after the bombing, but now they’d rather keep them home because of this hazard of a school,” says professor Nehaz Pervez.
Troubling silence
The government is silent on the matter. “The money is never wired on time and the teachers often won’t take their chances in these schools,” observed Khadim Hussain. The government actually promised to do two things after the Malala scandal: grant 1.5 euro ($1.9) to 3 million children from destitute family attending school, and build 16 “Malala schools”. These are insufficient measures given the alarming situation of the educational system. Even outside the war-stricken north-western region, 60% of the schools don’t have electricity and 34% lack drinkable water.
The powerful chief of Pakistan’s Supreme Court, Judge Iftikhar Chaudhry, slammed his gavel. On Feb. 11, he ordered an inquiry to be made on the hundreds of “ghost schools” receiving funding, although no one works there. He accused the government of “turning schools into stables and shelters for animals.”
Finally, in November, the local government took action: 35 public schools -- 25 of which were girls’ schools -- in 32 villages of the Multan region (Punjab) were “freed” from their illegal residents, i.e. farmers housed by the rich landlords, for more than 15 years in some cases. According to the locals, the professors were cashing their salaries without giving any lessons, they weren’t even protesting against illegal occupants.
No one expects education to be a priority, during the presidential and parliamentary election campaign of May 2013, given the corruption, energy, and terrorism issues and the omnipresent crisis. Philanthropist and ex-cricket star Imran Khan is the only one who promised to take “emergency” measures: doubling the share of education in the GDP, hiring a million teachers and favouring feminine education.
Given the delicate situation, what pushed teacher Riasit Begum to carry on, since her school had recently been threatened by the extremists? “If educated women like us are forced to stay home and do nothing, what will happen to the girls later in life? They will get married and stay locked up in their houses too.”
It’s 1 p.m., and the school of Masho Gaggar is closing. The youngest students are four, and rush outside, quickly followed by the noise of fabric brushing by, and hushed voices: the 11-year-old classmates are all wearing their white Burqas and vanish in the streets, like daytime ghosts.

UAE schoolgirls give up spring break to help orphans
Anna Zacharias
Mar 29, 2013
Two Abu Dhabi girls are giving up their spring break to raise money for an orphanage in a village in Haiti.
Friends Lamia Makkar and Tasneem Zarroug, 13-year-old grade-9 pupils at the American Community School, will spend their holiday tutoring and babysitting so that they can travel to the Caribbean nation in July as volunteers.
A 7.0-magnitude earthquake in 2010 killed more than 222,500 people in Haiti, and displaced about 1.5 million.
Although US$9.5 billion (Dh34.8bn) in relief funds was pledged, aid distribution was slow and rebuilding will take years.
The girls said they want to be directly involved in the recovery work.
“I want to be able to see the change that I will do over there,” said Tasneem.
“I know you can give money and they say it’s helping a cause, but I want to see what we put our blood and sweat in to change.”
The girls plan to help rebuild part of a school, plant sustainable gardens and teach English, French and Spanish in Terre Froide, a village on the border with the Dominican Republic that is 84km from the capital, Port-au-Prince.
Tasneem’s mother is Haitian but has never travelled to the country. Tasneem hopes to travel with her this summer to meet their extended family for the first time.
The girls organised the 10-day trip through the group Global Potential, which matched them with a village to work in. They will live with a Haitian host family and work at least eight hours a day.
The pupils have already been busy babysitting, tutoring and baking for six weeks to raise Dh10,000 that will pay for books, building materials and other goods needed by the Haitian community.
Lamia, who has French citizenship and has lived in Abu Dhabi since she was three, has tutored younger children in French and Mandarin.
They will pay their expenses for the trip out of their pocket money.
“I want to see the orphanage change and that the kids will be happier,” Tasneem said.
“I want to know that I tried and that when I leave it’s a better place.”

Adolescent Girl Refugees Face Greatest Risks
March 29, 2013
In refugee situations around the world – from the one million Syrians who have fled their homes to the six million Congolese who’ve been displaced – there is one group that is particularly vulnerable: adolescent girls.
Desperate families will often sell girls into forced marriages, and girls who have been orphaned or separated from their families are frequently the victims of sexual violence.
“Girls become commodities,” Sasha Chanoff, founder and executive director of Refuge Point, told Here & Now. “So, particularly if they don’t have protectors or parents, they are often sold off against their will.”
Many people have heard of the “Lost Boys of Sudan,” the group of about 20,000 boys who fled violence in Sudan in the 1980s and ’90s. Their families had either been killed or driven away, so these boys banded together and travelled across East Africa with no food, no water, and no way to defend themselves.
Those who survived eventually walked 1,000 miles until they reached a refugee camp in Kenya. They lived in their own section of the camp and continued to watch out for each other while they waited years for a chance to resettle in another country.
CBS’s “60 Minutes” will air an in-depth special about the Lost Boys of Sudan this Sunday (details here).
But the story of the Lost Boys raises a question: What happened to all the young girls who were caught in the violence in Sudan?
Yar Ayuel, 28, was one of those girls. She fled Sudan as a child and lived in a refugee camps for seven years.
She was one of just 89 girls who came to the United States, along with the 3,500 Lost Boys of Sudan. Today, she’s getting her MBA at the University of Massachusetts Lowell and works at a nonprofit. She’s also married and has a child.
She saw what happened to girls at refugee camps who were orphaned or separated from their parents. She wants humanitarian agencies to make a special effort to watch out for refugee girls, everywhere in the world.
“Find those girls, rather than listen to the community who says that, ‘Oh, girls aren’t lost. Girls don’t have the same needs as boys,’” Ayuel told Here & Now.

Kim Kardashian Denies Nigerian Girls Hate Tweet
29 MARCH 2013
Kim said she would never ‘tweet something like that.’
American reality TV star, Kim Kardashian, has denied tweeting hate words about Nigeria and her women.
A “photoshopped” image of a parody twitter handle had shown how Kardashian tweeted about Nigeria being such a disgusting country with women who look like apes.
“I see there is a photo shopped tweet floating around, supposedly something I said about Nigeria. That was not me or my feelings,” she said.
“The fake tweet is very disturbing and I will never ever tweet something like that,” she added.
Kim Kardashian recently visited Nigeria for a valentine show and left a love-hate relationship with her Nigerian fans after reports went round she was paid half a million dollars to show up at the event and hardly stayed or made any significant contribution to the show.

Turkish woman sentenced to jail for funding Pakistan terror outfit
PTI | Mar 30, 2013
WASHINGTON: A Turkish woman was sentenced to five years in jail by a US court on charges of sending money to a terrorist outfit in Pakistan for attacks against American military personnel.
40-year-old Oytun Ayse Mihalik, a lawful permanent resident of the US residing in California, had pleaded guilty last August to one count of providing material support to terrorists.
When she pleaded guilty, Mihalik specifically admitted that she provided money to an individual in Pakistan with the intention that the money would be used to prepare for and carry out attacks against US military personnel and other persons overseas, the US Justice Department said today.
Using the alias Cindy Palmer, Mihalik sent a total of USD 2,050 in three wire transfers to the person in Pakistan over the course of three weeks at the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011.
