Animal Equality machte auf dem Pariser Platz im Rahmen einer eindrucksvollen Aktion auf das erschreckende Leid der Tiere in der Schweineindustrie aufmerksam.
Zahlreiche Aktivistinnen und Aktivisten hielten die toten Körper von Ferkeln, die in der Tierindustrie gestorben und lieblos in Müllcontainern entsorgt worden waren, in ihren Händen. Damit machten sie das Leid der Tierkinder sichtbar, die tagtäglich in der Tierindustrie im Verborgenen leiden und in Anonymität sterben. Indem wir ihre leblosen Körper ins Licht der Öffentlichkeit rücken, wird ihr Leid zur öffentlichen Debatte.
Das Ziel der bewegenden Aktion war es, zu verdeutlichen, dass Tiere keine Produkte sondern empfindsame Lebewesen mit einem Recht auf Leben sind. Menschentrauben versammelten sich um die Protestierenden und verfolgten sichtbar bewegt die Aktion. Verschiedene Pressevertreter waren vor Ort und dokumentierten die Geschehnisse.
Female labour force participation in India is not only low but has declined over the last decade or so. Women’s labour force participation has implications for their economic empowerment and, ultimately, efforts to promote inclusive growth and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is, thus, a priority for policymakers and stakeholders to take a comprehensive view to improve labour market outcomes for women.
On March 1, the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Feminist Economist Saturday Discussion Group (FESDIG) brings together a rich panel discussion on India’s low female labour force participation. Dignitaries speaking at the event are M. Sathiyavathy, Secretary, Ministry of Labour and Employment and Amitabh Kant, CEO, Niti Aayog. The panel will be chaired by Prof Bina Agarwal, University of Manchester and will comprise of Prof Preet Rustagi, Institute for Human Development (IHD), Prof Santosh Mehrotra, Centre for Informal Sector and Labour Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and Dr Ratna Sudarshan, Institute of Social Studies Trust, (ISST).
‘Transformation of Women at Work in Asia – An Unfinished Development Agenda’, an ILO-SAGE book, edited by Sukti Dasgupta and Sher Verick, will also be launched. It will be followed by a book discussion that will be chaired by Dr Sunita Sanghi, Adviser, NITI Aayog.
Based on original comparative research and extensive fieldwork, the book illustrates how the labour force participation of women in a number of countries in South Asia has either remained stagnant or has fallen. In East Asia the participation has declined from 70.8 per cent in 1994 to 63.3 per cent in 2014, and in South Asia it has fallen from 36.4 to 30.6 per cent over the same period. Gender gaps in labour force participation have been highest in South Asia. Findings show that women across the continent have contributed significantly to its spectacular growth story; yet, social norms and economic factors limit their levels of participation.

To commemorate the passage of marriage equality in New York, I shot this series. It was at the end of a long week that the good news came: Kayla & I had been vacated from our loft with seven hours notice, along with the residents of 45 other apartments in our building. We packed up our apartment in about three days, while looking for a new place and couch surfing. It was the hardest thing I'd ever done, but in the middle of it, when I was sitting on the pavement with the most important of our worldly possessions, our cats, and Kayla, I realized even on the worst days, I am so lucky to have such an incredible partner. And now, thanks to the brave legislators of New York State, my incredible partner can one day become my wife.
Strange fruit was a "nickname" given to the black bodies that swung from the trees. White trash is about as obvious as possible. Thier opposing ideas are painted and easily washed off. But my friend shalisa is faced with this dualing issue everyday when as she is bi-racial. She is the essense of Equality but still the butt of so many Ethnocentric comments.

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.

Marriage Equality red logo at Human Rights Campaign Headquarters in Washington, D.C. USA
The official logo of the HRC, adopted in 1995, consists of a yellow equals sign imposed onto a blue background. The logo was created in 1995 by design firm Stone Yamashita, who attracted then-Executive Director Elizabeth Birch to its bold design.
A temporary, ongoing logo of the HRC trademark equal sign is a red revision of the official logo. The Campaign changed the profile picture on its Facebook page around 1 PM EDT on Monday, March 25, 2013 to the current red logo. The change is a social media effort by the campaign to show support for marriage equality in light of hearings in the Supreme Court (United States v. Windsor and Hollingsworth v. Perry) on the constitutionality of same-sex marriage. According to HRC spokesman Charlie Joughin, the red "is a symbol for love, and that’s what marriage is all about."
