Mit einer bewegenden Aktion vor dem Brandenburger Tor machten 100 Aktivistinnen und Aktivisten von Animal Equality auf die tragischen Folgen der heutigen Tiernutzung aufmerksam. Jeder Einzelne hielt ein Tier in den Händen, welches als Folge der Nutztierhaltung gestorben war. Die Aktivisten machten auf diese Weise das Leiden von Tieren in unserer Gesellschaft sichtbar und setzten sich gleichzeitig für mehr Mitgefühl und Gerechtigkeit für alle Tiere ein.
Die 100 toten Tiere, darunter Lämmer, Küken, Ferkel und Hühner, standen stellvertretend für alle getöteten Tiere durch den Menschen, vor allem durch den Konsum tierischer Produkte. Die Tiere sind in Mastanlagen, Tierversuchslaboren oder anderen Orten der industrialisierten Tiernutzung während ihrer Haltung gestorben und entsorgt worden.
Zahlreiche Menschen blieben stehen und verfolgten sichtbar bewegt die Aktion. Unsere Botschaft wurde somit an unzählige Passanten weitergetragen. Verschiedene Pressevertreter waren vor Ort, um über die Aktion zu berichten und die Leiden der Tiere öffentlich zu thematisieren.

Thai police cadets embarked on the first-ever training on ending violence against women and girls to increase their knowledge on the nature, extent, and seriousness on crimes perpetrated against women and show commitment as change agent towards ending the global pandemic.
Following the advocacy to end violence against women supported by Her Royal Highness Princess Bajrakitiyabha, UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, the Office of the Attorney General and the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) have joined hands with the Police Cadet Academy in organizing the Training Workshop: New Generation to End Violence against Women for the 285 third-year Police Cadet students from today and will call for 80 volunteering students to continue with the training for another two days. The training curriculum includes role of police in justice system, police as change agent, and attitude and behavioral change. The workshop is part of Thailand’s commitment to contribute to the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon UNiTE Campaign to End Violence against Women.
Experiences worldwide have shown that recruitment of women police officers and resourcing of gender desks must be part of a broader strategy to train and incentivize all police to adequately respond to women’s needs. Women being present in justice services can help to enhance accountability and create a system that is responsible to women.
In Thailand, a National Survey in 2009 found that 365,230 ever-married women faced physical violence from intimate partners, especially young women aged 15-19 years. But the number of ever-partnered women facing violence against women remains unknown. Under-reporting of crimes against women is a serious problem in all regions.

Kris and Lyssa White use their own marriage as a case for same sex marriage. Several signs made connections between same sex and interracial marriage rights.

Ellis Island Immigration Museum. One in three Americans has an ancestor who landed here in Ellis Island near Jersey City, NJ between 1892 to 1954.
This interesting exhibit shows the gender distribution of new immigrants to U.S. for every 15 years from 1860 to 1994. Notice that in early years more men than women came here, then it switched other way around from 1920s, finally the equality in the 1980s. :-)

Signs and car window placard urging passage of Proposition 5, the Anchroage Equal Rights Initiative.
About 40 people turned out for a presentation about discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) Alaskans during the Adult Education Hour on Sunday, 19 Feb 2012 at St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Anchorage. Rev. Drew Phoenix, one of the clergy leaders of Christians for Equality, discussed how discrimination impacts the lives of all citizens and answered questions. On the following Sunday, 26 Feb 2012, Trevor Storrs of One Anchorage will lead the Adult Education Hour discussion on Proposition 5, the Anchorage Equal Rights Initiative, which is on the April 3, 2012 muncipal election ballot for the Municipality of Anchorage. If passed, Prop 5 will amend Anchorage’s equal rights code to provide the same legal protections against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or transgender identity that are already provided based on race, color, sex, religion, national origin, marital status, age, physical disability, and mental disability. All are welcome.
Animal Equality schleuste sich 2 Jahre lang in Betriebe der spanischen Kaninchenzuchtindustrie ein. Wir dokumentierten 70 Zucht- und Mastbetriebe – einige von ihnen durch die Industrie ausgezeichnet – und vier Kaninchenschlachtbetriebe.
Auf diese Weise entstand die bis zum heutigen Tag umfassendste bildliche Dokumentation über die Kaninchenzuchtindustrie auf Landesebene.
Dies ist, was unser Ermittlerteam in einem Großteil der Betriebe vorfand:
•Arbeiter, die kranke Kaninchen gewaltsam auf den Boden schlagen (es wurde bestätigt, dass es sich um ein übliches Vorgehen in diesem Industriezweig handelt)
•Arbeiter, die noch lebende Tiere aufgrund von Überproduktion in Müllcontainer werfen
•Tiere mit offenen Wunden, die keinerlei tierärztliche Behandlung erfahren
•Kannibalismus unter den Tieren aufgrund der beengten Haltungsbedingungen und der überfüllten Käfige
•Zuchtbetriebe, die Kaninchen an Restaurants verkaufen, ohne irgendeine Gesundheitskontrolle zu durchlaufen
•eine Tierärztin, die ein Kaninchen auf den Boden schlägt und vor laufender Kamera zugibt, dass es sich hierbei um Tierquälerei handelt
•Zuchtbetriebe, die jahrelang nicht inspiziert werden
•tote Tiere, die neben lebendigen Tieren in den Käfigen liegen

Igualdad Animal ha sacado hoy a la luz imágenes de una granja de cría de patos en el estado de Brandeburgo en Alemania, poco antes de Navidad, para dar a conocer el terrible maltrato animal que sufren.
La investigación, que ha sido publicada hoy en primicia en el importante medio alemán Spiegel, muestra a trabajadores golpeando a patos hasta la muerte con horquetas, ensartando a los animales estando aún vivos y animales vivos arrojados a contenedores.
Según información obtenida del año 2013, la granja alemana suministraba aproximadamente un millón de patos al año a Wiesenhof. Igualdad Animal ha denunciado a esta granja.
Según las Estadísticas del Bundesamt, cada año casi 25 millones de patos son matados en Alemania, la comida preferida de Navidad. Aproximadamente, el 60 % de las ventas se realizan en estas fechas.

That is a statement well representing contemporary social preocupations. It was stuck on the Karl Marx Monument in Chemnitz.
"One of the notable artistic features on the Galway Cityscape is the ‘Equality Emerging’ statue by John Behan located opposite Galway Cathedral in Galway City Centre.
It was inspired from an idea by Eddie Higgins and Nuala Keher, founders and curent executive directors of Equal Ireland which is a ‘not for profit’ community based, charitable trust. The main purpose of Equal Ireland is the provision of affordable quality education and training to people, who for whatever reason, missed out on earlier education and training opportunities. The ‘Equality Emerging’ statue was Unveiled in November 2001." (from Galway Tourism's website)

15 December 2022 - Leinster House
PRESS RELEASE & REPORT
The Joint Committee on Gender Equality has today, Thursday December 15th, published its final report entitled Unfinished Democracy: Achieving Gender Equality.
This report is based on the work carried out by the Oireachtas Committee over 2022.
Chaired by Ivana Bacik TD, the cross-party Committee held a range of hearings to consider the comprehensive recommendations produced by the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality.
The Committee took the view that the 45 Assembly recommendations should be seen as a blueprint for achieving a gender equal Ireland, and so the focus of its deliberations was on how best to secure their implementation.
In particular, the Committee has developed a precise wording of the text for amending Articles 40.1 and 41 of the Constitution, and it calls on the Government to hold the necessary referendum in 2023.
The proposed changes to Article 40.1 would reflect the Assembly’s wish to see constitutional recognition for the principle of gender equality; and for principles of equality and non-discrimination.
The proposed changes to Article 41 would remove the sexist language currently in the text referring exclusively to women and mothers as having a ‘life’ and ‘duties’ within the home.
Instead, the proposed changes would insert gender-neutral language to ensure that the role of care is recognised, valued and supported by the State.
The proposed changes would also ensure a more inclusive definition of ‘family’ beyond the family based upon marriage.
Apart from constitutional change, the report also sets out comprehensive recommendations on a range of other gender equality measures; on childcare, care and social protection; on measures to address Domestic, Sexual and Gender Based Violence (DSGBV); on the role that education can play in challenging gendered norms and stereotypes; on the impact of pay and workplace conditions on gender equality; on how to achieve gender equality in leadership, politics and public life; and on how the gender equality principle can be protected through law and policy.
Speaking at the launch of the report, Committee Cathaoirleach Deputy Ivana Bacik expressed thanks to all who had engaged with the work of the Committee, saying:
“The aim of this report is to provide an action plan for change towards a truly gender equal Ireland, with meaningful timelines for implementation.
“We acknowledge that the implementation of some Assembly recommendations is already underway, and we now call on the Government to ensure the timely implementation of all of our recommended actions.
“In particular, we want to see a referendum held in 2023 to give effect to Assembly recommendations 1-3 on constitutional change; and we call on the Government to begin the preparatory work necessary for the holding of such a referendum.”
“We look forward to the implementation of our recommendations, and to the achievement of a truly gender equal society. As the Assembly has stated, ‘gender equality is a matter of human rights, justice, and fairness. It must underpin all of our interactions as a society."
“Until gender equality is achieved, our democracy will remain unfinished.”
Some of the key recommendations for government action in the report:
• Hold a constitutional referendum in 2023 to give effect to the Citizens’ Assembly recommendations on constitutional change, on the basis of the wording proposed by the Committee.
• Commission a 'cost of care' review that calculates the financial cost of unpaid care and examines the societal value of unpaid care.
• Move from a model of privatised care provision towards a publicly funded, accessible and regulated model of quality, affordable early years education and childcare.
• Ensure that the State takes over full responsibility for the remuneration of employees in the early years and childcare sector.
• Develop and establish a National Planning Unit for Care, to foster better linkages and co-ordination on care policies across all relevant Government Departments.
• Establish a Statutory Child Maintenance Agency to keep child maintenance out of the courts where possible.
• Ensure that action on the Third National Strategy on DSGBV begins immediately, pending the establishment of the new Statutory National Agency.
• Reinstate the Irish Sentencing Information System and ensure improved data systems within the criminal justice system to provide visibility on sentencing levels in DSGBV cases.
• Mandate the Electoral Commission to review A national gender quota strategy every five years.
• Initiate a process towards the introduction of a universal pension system.
• Institute a more generalised pilot Universal Basic Income (UBI) scheme based on the ‘participation income’ approach.
