Pardoning the victim

    This is, presumably (and hopefully), the final chapter in an appalling case that took "blaming the victim" to a new extreme:

    Saudi women
    Saudi women are subject to strict sex segregation laws
    The Saudi king has pardoned a female rape victim sentenced to jail and 200 lashes for being alone with a man raped in the same attack, reports say.

    The "Qatif girl" case caused an international outcry with widespread criticism of the Saudi justice system.

"The Mourning After"

    I'm very glad to see that Cherie Blair is continuing to keep the plight of widows in the public eye. Here's an excerpt from her op-ed piece, published today, December 18, 2007, in the New York Times:

    When I reflect on the plight of millions of widows across the world, I realize just how fortunate we were. Although we were surrounded by love, widows and their children in many societies are shunned, abused and exploited.

    The centuries-old practice of suttee — a widow burning herself alive on her husband’s funeral pyre — has all but vanished. But the few cases of self-immolation that do occur are a reminder of how bleak the future is for many widows. After a shocking case just five years ago in rural India, a sociologist in Delhi, Susan Visvanathan, explained that the widow who set herself on fire “would have assumed her life would be one of isolation and despair and shame and suffering.”

Dooney and Bourke: Hayden Panettiere Designer Bag

    Last season Emma Roberts was the star “handbag designer” of Dooney & Bourke. Now for the winter season handbag collection, the designer fashion brand Dooney & Bourke has a fresh new addition to their “Designed by a Celebrity” hall of fame - Hero’s super star Hayden Panettiere.

    It is a juicy new addition to Dooney’s Limited Edition handbag line. It will retail for slightly more than the average Dooney and Bourke handbag since it is a Limited Edition piece. The bag will go on sale this December and will be retailed for $500.

    "I wanted to do something people haven’t seen from Dooney & Burke before, so my bag is red patent leather,” Hayden said. The bag is perfect for this season (obviously because it's patent) but has also a classic design.

The Golden Heiress: Paris Hilton

    Paris Hilton is mixing business with charity as she poses nude, wearing only a coat of glittering gold paint as she crawls across the parched desert, to launch an initiative to bring drinking water to drought-ravaged regions.

    “It is important to give back if you have been as blessed as we have,” Hilton told the People magazine, adding that she is concerned about people in parts of the world who don’t have enough water. “A lot of people don’t realize that many people don’t even have running water in their homes.”

Enduring courage and camaraderie

    By the time I finished reading this article, my eyes were blurred with tears.





    By Emma-Jane Kirby
    BBC News, Paris and London


    She told tales of camaraderie, of women from all walks of life thrown together in an alien country, tales of lonely Christmases singing French carols and desperately trying not to think of home.

    There were apocalyptic accounts too of watching London burn, of courage in the Blitz and proud memories of moments on the number nine bus when a Londoner would notice her French uniform and lean over to say: "Vive La France!"
