Das Animal Equality Rechercheteam hat im Dezember 2014 in einem der größten Entenmastbetriebe Deutschlands ermittelt. Anhand von Foto- und Videomaterial und Aufnahmen mit versteckten Kameras gelang es, die erschreckenden Lebensbedingungen der Tiere und das brutale Vorgehen der Arbeiter im Betrieb zu dokumentieren. Die Aufnahmen sind erschütternd und zeigen:
• Arbeiter, die Enten mit Mistgabeln erschlagen
• Arbeiter, die noch lebende Tiere mit den Spitzen der Mistgabel aufspießen
• Tiere, die noch lebend in den Müll geworfen werden
• tote und verletzte Enten, die teilweise bewegungsunfähig sind
• stark blutende Tiere
• Resultat der Qualzucht: auf den Rücken gefallene Enten können nicht mehr aufstehen und drohen zu verdursten

Our local Rural Valley in Wenatchee has staged a "Gay Pride' at our local Public Market with music and a rare opportunity for people of like minds regarding sexual identity could feel comfortable.
(concept inspired by the Dear New Orleans/Dear World project)
It was not so long ago that the people you call friend, family and, perhaps, even mother and father were living in two separate worlds based on the color of their skin.
My grandfather was a plantation sharecropper.
My parents attended segregated schools.
And I am married to a wonderful man...who happens to be white.
This equality is transparent to many of us now but it was not too long ago that this reality was nothing more than a dream as impossible as Don Quixote's.
Happy Birthday Martin Luther King, Jr.
And thank you.
Equality: the quality of being the same in quantity or measure or value or status

This event will bring together activists and comedians to discuss the ways in which comedy can push forward agendas such as #metoo and contemporary women’s rights movements, and how this effort can translate into meaningful change in women’s lives. The event will also showcase the work of UN Women and Mythos Labs in countering violent extremist recruitment narratives—and their understandings of gender—through comedy. It features a comedy set by renown comedian and actress Aparna Nancherla.
In early 2018, UN Women partnered with Mythos Labs to produce a series of comedy videos to counter the messaging of terrorist groups in the Asia region. Working with female comedians in South Asia and South-East Asia, these sketches challenge the narratives used by violent extremist groups and counter extremist ideology in the online space. While this work was originally piloted to prevent and counter violent extremism, the implications go far beyond this realm. Comedy can and is being used to promote broader themes of women’s empowerment and gender equality, by not just making us laugh, but by challenging stereotypes with a broad and engaged audience.
This project is part of UN Women’s Empowered Women, Peaceful Communities programme, which is funded by the Government of Japan. This programme works in the Asia Pacific region to challenge the gendered dynamics of violent extremism and reverse its growing trend, through prioritizing women’s rights, empowerment, participation and leadership—in national decision-making and at the community level.

We are all equal in the fact that we are all different

L'industria del latte ci abitua ad un mondo dove le mucche pascolano felici nei prati. Ma la realtà per questi animali è fatta di sofferenze e torture: dalla separazione dei cuccioli a pochi giorni dalla nascita, ai corpi martoriati da ferite e infezioni, per finire poi esauste al macello all'età di 7 anni.
Equality Park is a triangular shaped park bounded by Equality Park West, Equality Park Place and Broadway. It is one of three Broadway Parks, the other two being on the east side of Broadway. These two parks are both titled Congdon Park and are separated by Calvert Street. The Congdon Park on the north side of Calvert Street is often called Sailors Park because of the anchors in it or Vanderbilt Park for the fountain. The Congdon Park on the south side of Calvert Street has a monument of soldiers and is often called Soldiers Park.
Equality Park has historical significance dating back to 1769. It was on this common, now called Equality Park, that the boats of the H.M.S. Liberty were burned on July 19, 1769 by the citizens of Newport. This was the first overt act of violence to Great Britain in America.
Equality Park is one of three places in Newport to have the first appearance of an electric light. The New York Times, Newport Daily News and Newport Mercury all reported on the first appearance of the electric light in Newport on the evening of July 4, 1882 at Equality Park, Washington Square, and part of Bellevue Avenue. There was a heavy rain storm that evening but nonetheless "The electric light was turned on by His Honor Franklin, but its bright rays were not seen until a late hour and only then by those who were out in the storm and by those residing in the vicinity of the parks."
In 1923, Lady Liberty, the center monument, was dedicated to the memory of the citizens of Newport who served in the war with Spain.
Scenes from the Opening Session of the Generation Equality Forum, held in Paris, France on 30 June 2021.
The Generation Equality Forum (June 30 – July 2) is a major global inflection point for gender equality. This landmark effort is bringing together governments, corporations and change makers from around the world to define and announce ambitious investments and policies. The result will be a permanent acceleration in equality, leadership and opportunity for women and girls worldwide.Convened by UN Women and co-hosted by the governments of Mexico and France, in partnership with youth and civil society, the Forum will also fuel a powerful and lasting coalition for gender equality. It presents a vital moment for activists, feminists, youth and allies to achieve transformative change for generations to come. It will mark the beginning of a five-year action journey led by six Action Coalitions and a Compact on Women, Peace and Security, and Humanitarian Action. This is a critical moment. COVID-19 has exacerbated existing gender inequities, with reports of rising violence against women, as well as higher adverse economic impacts caused both by increased unpaid care-giving and the fact that women work in more insecure, low-paid and informal jobs. Women of color, indigenous women and youth face compounded risks and barriers. We are living through a gender equality crisis, and the Generation Equality Forum offers a critical opportunity to confront it and accelerate implementation of the landmark Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.
