Meanwhile in Belgium, "Five year's imprisonment for an incestuous father"

For my non-French speaking contacts: A father was convicted of raping his daughter during ten years: a five-year imprisonment, a 1.100,00 € fee and a 50.000 € charge in favour of the victim.

The man justified his action by telling his daughter that: "as her mother didn't do anything for him anymore, she had to stand in for her." (to quote the reporter, his daughter was "the sexual substitute of her failing mother.".

The woman, who is now 22 years old, filed a complain, following her partner's insistence. Nevertheless, she still lives at her father's place, as she cannot afford to pay a rent ("that did not fail to surprise the court").

(Source: "L'Avenir du Luxembourg", 15.12.2018)

Now that everybody understands the facts... Excuse-me, five years? Five f-cking years????? Oh yes, and I forgot to mention that this loving father has been given a conditional sentence for psychological counselling "to avoid facts of the same nature in the future". Do you know what would work, too, to "avoid facts of the same nature"? A REAL sentence! Not this joke that this shameless five-year imprisonment is!

Justice has spoken, hasn't it? And, once again, it failed to protect our kids and women.

Nausea...

Meet The Winners Of The 2018 Nobel Peace Prize: Dr. Denis Mukwege And Nadia Murad

Christian Lutz/AP

The 2018 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Dr. Denis Mukwege, a Congolese gynecologist, and Nadia Murad, a Yazidi survivor of rape and captivity by ISIS, for their contributions toward combating wartime sexual assault.

Nadia Murad

In 2014, Murad, a member of the Yazidi minority in northern Iraq, was taken captive by ISIS members and sexually enslaved for three months before escaping.

Murad has shared her painful story with international media outlets over and over to show the world what happened to Yazidis. She has become a voice for captive women and girls in the process. She urges women who have faced sexual violence to reclaim their lives.

She was honored for her refusal “to remain silent and ashamed of the abuses to which they have been subjected,” said the Norwegian Nobel Committee. At age 25, she is the second-youngest peace prize recipient; Malala Yousafzai was the youngest at age 17.

Dr. Denis Mukwege

Mukwege is known as “Dr. Miracle” because of his skill and his devotion to helping victims of gang rape during conflict in his country, the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Mukwege has treated tens of thousands of women for rape since opening Panzi Hospital in 1999. Those survivors, who range in age from toddlers to seniors, suffered complex gynecological injuries, inflicted by members of rebel groups and the Congolese military.

“What I’m doing really is not only to treat women — their body,” says Mukwege, “[but] also to fight for their own right, to bring them to be autonomous, and, of course, to support them psychologically. And all of this is a process of healing so women can regain their dignity.”

Killian Donnelly (Jean Valjean) and David Thaxton (Javert)

About 4~5 years ago I posted about wanting them to play JVJ and Javert. Last week, I actually got to watch that happen. And it was fantastic.

When people review shows they focus a lot on individual performances, but chemistry between actors is so important - and these two have it in abundance.

[I couldn’t stop smiling every time they were on stage together…which, given the context of the show, was probably an odd thing to do.]

[caroline-tzipi]

I agree with everything! Jesus Christ, what a privilege to see them sharing the stage in such circumstances!

On Sunday, I attended a Hamilton dance workshop. And today, I purchased my ticket; attending the show for the very first time next October!

I am satisfied.

You're likely to see me dancing or happily performing musicals wherever I am when you catch me. Well, dance costumes are too difficult to draw... and back to the Queen's theatre in two days, so you'll excuse me.
