Assange contra la violencia del 'humanitarismo' imperial
Assange contra la violencia del ‘humanitarismo’ imperial
Azeezah Kanji
En la decisión del tribunal del Reino Unido que libró al fundador de WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, de la extradición a Estados Unidos (por ahora, pendiente de apelación), la relación íntimamente simbiótica entre el humanitarismo y la violencia fue evidente una vez más.
La jueza Vanessa Baraitser dictaminó que sería “opresivo” extraditar a Assange, pero no por la injusticia de la…

Women’s Education in Saudi Arabia (Brittney Reed)
The fight for education reform has been an ongoing battle in Saudi Arabia. Restrictions are placed on women in an attempt to upkeep the traditional values and norms of Saudi Arabian society, and therefore has been a cause and effect of segregation based on gender in political, economic, educational, and labor force environments. This blog post is for the purpose of analyzing my group's selected topic of Saudi Arabian women, and more specifically their role in the education system.
Until 1956, women in Saudi Arabia were not allowed to be educated (Alsuwaida 2016). Once the education system for girls began to develop, it offered free schooling with imposed limitations for the purpose of conserving traditional Wahabi Saudi society and culture. Segregation of the sexes throughout the education system was the main way this was done.
In the article, “Female Education in Saudi Arabia and the Reproduction of Gender Division,” (El-Sanabary 1994) the author explains the division of learning in the Saudi Arabian education system as an intentionally instituted structure for means of cultural conservation and social control. All schools are segregated by sex and offer gender specific curriculum that differentiates at various education levels and emphasizes women’s domestic function (El‐Sanabary 1994).
The education system treats the sexes differently due to their different societal expectations (Baki 2004). Male and female curriculum differ by content as well as development. Course material is usually much less extensive and minimally developed in comparison to males course content (Alsuwaida 2016). Hatoon A. Alfassi, one of the most outspoken academics on the role of women in society, and a professor of women’s history at King Saud University, in Riyadh, stated “we cover less material, we read fewer texts. And I get the impression that things are being dumbed down for us because we are women.” (Mills 2009).
In Saudi Arabian society and culture, a woman’s primary role is to be a nurturing housewife and mother and the purpose of education is to prepare and equip them with the necessary set of skills to be just that (Rajkhan 2014). Even when the ability to attend school is available for women, they are not guaranteed to get a job after graduating due to multiple limitations. The Saudi education system limits women’s education and future job opportunities by restricting women’s entry into certain fields of study, and their access to certain jobs (Baki 2004). Even when having access and aspiring to a career in a nontraditional field, women will most likely be subjected to discrimination within the job or even prior to that during the application process (Baki 2004). Mobility has also been used as a societal control and restriction on women's education. Women in Saudi Arabia do not have easy access to transportation and would need to have a chauffeur or relative drive her to and from campus (Baki 2004). Family's lack of support or inability to do this leads to many Saudi women being unable to pursue education.
Saudi educational reform is moving at a snail's pace though it has gained some momentum in recent years. King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz has effectively halted the restrictive attitude of Saudi society, and has initiated some crucial changes for the progression of Saudi women’s education opportunities. He has adopted policies that encourage women to work towards achieving employment in the industrial fields similar to those of men and has established 24 public universities, 8 private universities, and a total of 494 colleges in 76 cities within Saudi Arabia. In addition he has developed the King Abdullah Sponsorship Program (KASP), launched in 2005, which is available to all Saudi students, regardless of gender, and enables them to travel overseas for higher education opportunities and experiences (Alsuwaida 2016).
Although female employment and education rates have increased significantly in recent years, there is still a long way to go for education reform in Saudi Arabia. Women''s education is still considered of secondary importance compared to men's and is still governed by restrictive traditional attitudes (Al-Manea 2020). The education system needs to be reexamined as gender-segregation and many other limitations are restricting women’s educational and employment opportunities. Without democratic politics, Saudi Arabia has always offered limited space for communication and collaboration and lacks a sense of community making education reform a hard fought battle (Alsuwaida 2016). Today, Saudi Arabian women are relentlessly pursuing education at a similar rate to men; however, far fewer women than men enter graduate programs, and the employment rate among Saudi women is extremely low (Allahmorad and Zreik 2020).
Societal and government pressures, restrictions, and institutionalized norms are limiting women from pursuing education and furthermore entering the labor market, therefore hindering the potential of the entire Saudi economy (Rajkhan 2014). There is a fault in Saudi Arabia in which biological difference results in social inequality through the sociocultural construction of traditional gender roles (Alsuwaida 2016). By limiting women's access to the labor market through restrictions on certain areas of study and on access to certain jobs, education is not preparing Saudi women, or men, for the global economy and is once again only helping to preserve the socially accepted status quo (Baki 2004). Saudi society's avoidance of change and inability to stray from traditional gender norms has not only hindered women’s pursuit of education and investment in their future, but has also limited men and the entire Saudi economy.

Fun springtime shirt patterns for fashion dolls (free PDF) @ ChellyWood.com #amsewing #dollclothes
Today’s free printable PDF sewing pattern is marked with an explanation that the shorts pattern and capri patterns are still incomplete. I’ve been having a little trouble getting these two “bottoms” patterns to fit my Queens of Africa dolls right because, as you might have noticed in last Tuesday’s post, Azeezah’s hips are a little wider than other, more well-known fashion dolls.
But you’re safe…

Sand and Stone (J2 AU, 1/?)
”Come on, man, we can talk about this.” The click of the safety seems as loud as a firecracker. “I’m done talking.” Jared inches to the left, towards his students. “Just—let the kids go. Please?” One corner of Aaron’s lip turns up in a sneer. “Everyone who’s never made fun of me or said something bad about me can go.” There’s a slight shuffling noise as Azeezah Adeseun, the class’s only Muslim, gets up. She’s never said an unkind word about anyone that Jared’s ever heard. Aaron looks at her, and Jared holds his breath as he nods and gestures towards the door. She creeps past him, to the door, and slips out, closing it behind her. “That’s a good start,” says Jared, his voice shaking. “But maybe—” “Shut up!” The gun barrel swings into Jared’s eyeline, and before he knows what’s happening, it goes off. Jared jerks awake with a start. His service dog, Sadie, has one paw on his shoulder, trying to shake him awake. He runs a hand over his face, swiping away sweat and tears. Everything in his room is the color of tears, even the walls and Sadie herself. Sadie’s muzzle swims in his blurred vision as he shakily sits up. Sadie jumps up on the bed and curls around Jared’s unscarred side. He clasps a hand around the back of her neck and tries to catch his breath. Sadie didn’t start out as a service dog, but a local organization trained her after Jared received his PTSD diagnosis and his psychiatrist suggested getting one. There’s only one way for Jared to get out of his head now, so he climbs out of bed on wobbly legs and puts on his flip-flops. He moved to a beach apartment when he discovered that the beach was the only place he could really feel relaxed. His landlord is a former Marine and gives him a break on the rent because he’s been there too. Jared puts Sadie’s work jacket on and then clips on her leash. He pulls on a hoodie and cargo shorts and the two of them head down to the beach. The sun is just starting to peek up from the horizon, tinting the gentle waves lavender and pink. Jared pulls off his flip-flops and walks barefoot in the sand. There’s a jetty about two hundred yards from where they are now, and Jared likes to go out and sit on it to watch the tide come in. As they approach the jetty, Jared starts to hear soft strains of…music? He stops and tries to tune in his hearing. Yeah, it sounds like a guitar, and it seems to be coming from the jetty. He peers out and sees what could be a figure sitting on the first curve. As he moves closer, he hears the music better. It’s nothing he recognizes, and every now and then he catches scraps of words sung in a rich baritone voice. The figure has his back to them, but Jared can see the neck of the guitar and the arm supporting it. When Jared steps onto the jetty, the music stops. The player is about ten feet down, close enough for Jared to see his short, sandy brown hair and the honey-gold wood of the guitar. “Sorry, didn’t know anyone else was here,” the guy says. “Don’t stop on my account,” replies Jared, his voice rougher than he would like. The guys grins and starts to strum. This time, Jared recognizes the song as U2’s “Running to Stand Still.” Jared inches closer as the guy starts to sing. His voice is beautiful—polished, but not overly so, and perfect for the song. Jared could listen to it all day, and hopes he’ll get a chance to. He and Sadie sit down about two feet away from the player and Jared takes a good look at him for the first time. He’s got the most sinful lips Jared’s ever seen, along with green eyes the color of gemstones and a few days’ growth of stubble on his chiseled jawline and freckles, God, the freckles. He’s never seen so many freckles on a brunet before. He also never knew he had a thing for freckles until he saw this guy, but man, he’d like to lick every single one of them. The song ends, and Jared claps softly. The guy’s cheeks turn pink and he ducks his head, and it’s far cuter than it should be on a grown man. “Thanks,” he mumbles. “I’m Jensen, by the way.” “Jared,” replies Jared. “And this is Sadie. Nice to meet you.” “You got any requests?” asks Jensen. “You puttin’ on a show?” Jensen chuckles. “Not really. Just killing time. But I thought I’d be polite.” “Play something you like,” replies Jared. Jensen pauses, arranges his fingers, and starts playing “Colder Weather” by Zac Brown Band. It’s a lovely song, and Jensen more than does it justice. But the melancholy tone starts to get to Jared about halfway through, and he has to ask Jensen to stop. Jensen frowns. “Is something wrong?” Jared takes a deep breath. “Just—I don’t like sad songs.” “I didn’t think—” Jensen stops and lowers his voice. “Okay, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you.” Jared looks down at the water. “I know,” he whispers. But in his head, he hears hymns, the electric piano that was playing at the memorial service, and sees faces, all the faces of the kids he couldn’t save. Sadie woofs softly and presses both paws on his knee, trying to ground him. She nudges his chin with her nose, and Jared blinks back tears again. Now Jensen and his guitar are the color of tears, and Jared’s tired, he’s so tired of this. “Jared?” Jared shakes his head. “Sorry.” He runs a hand over his face. “I, uh—I’ll be okay.” Jensen looks dubious, but instead starts strumming his guitar again, this time playing “Free Fallin’” by Tom Petty, which is a much better choice. Jared closes his eyes and tries to practice being mindful and staying in the present and only the present. He breathes deeply, counting to five on the inhale and seven on the exhale. He opens his eyes and finds the five things he can see (Jensen, the guitar, Sadie, the jetty, and the ocean), four things he can hear (the guitar strings, Jensen’s voice, the waves hitting the stone, and Sadie’s breath), three things he can smell (Sadie, the ocean, and the laundry detergent he washes his clothes in), two things he can taste (salt air, and he licks his lips), and one thing he can touch (Sadie’s fur). When he feels calmer, he pats Sadie’s neck twice to let her know she can relax, and she lies down next to him. Jensen finishes the song and stills the strings. Jared smiles. “That was great.” “Thanks.” Jensen looks over at him. “You okay now?” Jared nods. “Yeah.” “Does that happen a lot?” Jared shrugs. “More than I’d like.” “Are you a veteran?” Jared shakes his head. “No. It was a…a school shooting.” Jensen blanches. “Oh wow. I’m so sorry. Shit, I didn’t mean to pry. It’s really none of my business.” “‘S okay,” says Jared. “Just, play something else.” Jensen nods. “Can do.” He starts playing Led Zeppelin's “Ramble On.” Jared grins. That’s one of his favorites. When Jensen’s finished, Jared smiles at him. “I love that song,” he tells him. Jensen smiles back, the corners of his eyes crinkling up in an absolutely adorable way. “Me too.” Jared looks at his watch. “I gotta take her home and feed her,” he says. “I live pretty close. You wanna come and have some coffee?” Jensen grins. “I’d love to.” “Are you from around here?” asks Jared. Jensen shakes his head. “Just passing through, really.” “Well, you can pass through my kitchen first,” replies Jared. Jensen chuckles. “Sounds like a plan.”
