Raquel Arce is a mother of five and grandmother of three kids. She
loves to just stay at home and do Facebook with her kids. As Cebu
City market administrator, she is known for her strong will and
determination. As head of the Prevention, Restoration, Order,
Beautification and Enhancement (Probe), she leads an all-male
demolition team. But she does not feel a bit intimidated. Not even
the threats that she has been getting will stop her from doing her
job.
-excerpt from Cebu Daily News article written by Jose Santino S.
Bunachita (20 July 2015)
educating women from a young age that aiming
for excellence is not wrong
creating more opportunities for women in
industries
celebrating female success not as this unique
event that only a handful of women can
accomplish
James Felton Keith went back to his hometown of Detroit to help rebuild
the city after it went bankrupt. On his first day working in the new mayor’s
office, a colleague was giving him a tour of the office when two gay men
walked by and were introduced. After they left, James was shocked at
what he heard from his colleague: She nudges me and says, “You know,
these white gay guys are coming to take all our jobs.” Months later,
leading up to Pride week, James was interviewed in the mayor’s office by
the local LGBTQ magazine. During Pride weekend, James participated in
the Pride March, shared photos on Instagram, and had what felt like a
“regular weekend.” Unfortunately, Monday morning, he was told it’s not
working out and was fired. James recalls: And I thought, “What do you
mean it’s not working out? It’s working out. The strategy that I came there
to implement was working out. “And so he told me that my “associations”
weren’t aligned with the administration. And that’s specifically what he
said. I will never forget it.” Henceforth, he was fired.

orientations
creating a strong foundation of your defense
looking for a better workplace organization if
employees from your occupation are not affected
by emotional understanding at all
"Today's decision is historic, no doubt about it. But it does not end discrimination
against many LGBT people," said Adam Talbot, spokesman for the Human Rights
Campaign, an LGBT rights group. About 10% of 662 lesbian, gay and bisexual
workers who were randomly surveyed said they have been fired within the last five
years due to their sexual preference, according to Laura Durso, director of LGBT
Progress campaign at the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank. And
26% of 6,450 transgender workers who participated in a non-random survey say
they've been fired. Only 21 states have laws banning companies from discriminating
against employees based on sexual preference. And two of those states still allow a
transgender worker to be fired or denied a job. Many employers, especially large
employers, have protections against discrimination for their workers. But without
those company policies, or a labor contract, there is little legal recourse for an LGBT
worker who has been fired or denied a job. In fact, an LGBT worker can still be fired
by a company that's based in a state with non-discrimination laws, if that individual
works in a state without those legal protections.

employees because of their orientation
The son of a slave, Solomon Northup was born free. He lived,
worked, and married in upstate New York. He was a laborer and
also an accomplished violin player. In the year 1841, two shady
men offered him a profitable work in a circus, so he traveled with
them to Washington D.C. Where he was drugged, kidnapped, and
sold as a slave into the Red River region of Louisiana. For the next
twelve years he survived as the human property of several
different masters, and lived under the cruel ownership of a
southern planter named Edwin. In January 1853, Northup was
finally freed by his friends from the North who came to rescue him.
He returned home to his family in New York and there, with the
help of editor David Wilson, wrote on his account of his 12 Years a
Slave.

Capitalism hurts all working women. In the United States, sexism and patriarchy
are highly prevalent, and women are faced with income inequality, violence,
discrimination and harassment. But in Bangladesh, the women are fighting back. In
Dhaka, women make up the majority of the homeless population. Women walked
through the streets of Dhaka quickly and quietly with their eyes down, due to the
fact that they are often afraid of leaving their homes and walking around the city out
of fear of being raped, which is something that happens every single day in the city
of Dhaka. Poverty and suffering are commonplace for women in Bangladesh, but
women are not passive. Lucky Akter, general secretary of the Bangladesh Students
Union, explain that “In Bangladesh, women struggle everywhere. The fight against
patriarchy is in every sphere of life. Women are contributing to the economy but still
they are suppressed. In this neoliberal era, women are considered as a commodity.
Capitalism shows fake respect towards women.” Everyday, they endure
harassment and the threat of sexual violence, which is very common in the
factories. They live in extremely cramped living quarters and struggle with illness
and injuries as a result of their unsanitary and horrific working conditions.

A demonstration protest happened in the University of Missouri
against racial inequality and campus climate, which was
predominantly organized by the black students that led to the
resignation of the university’s president. Because of this, protests
against racism have spread to different colleges across USA. But,
there is a problem. Two universities began to organize anti-racism
rallies without the black students’ knowledge and permission.
These events gained criticisms from the black students as they
questioned the intentions of the rallies and they felt like these
protests seemed to be a mockery instead. After those criticisms
surfaced, the organizers cancelled these events and apologized
for their insensitivity as they made their intentions clear to the
society of black students.

Jamie Wilson claims she was harassed and bullied by her male colleagues for 10
years. When she complained of harassment in 2008, she says she was moved to
another fire hall. By 2010, she was moved yet again at one of the busiest stations
in the City of Toronto, but she arrived with a reputation. It would all come to a head
in 2013 when she says she was punched on several occasions by a male
colleague. Wilson confessed that she was so afraid of him and didn't feel that she
had support from her co-workers. By the fall of 2013, an investigation was made
where inappropriate comments were revealed, and confirmed that Wilson was
punched on one occasion. The investigator downplayed Wilson's claims, and
concluded that her colleagues were simply kidding around. However, the
investigator added in her report that many of the firefighters she spoke to were
coached prior to their interviews with me. In present, Jamie stopped her firefighting
career and says that after all she’s been through, she doesn’t want to do anything
with fire service anymore. Jamie Wilson loves the job but the discriminations and
retaliation just stopped her from going back.

Beijing - China has deported a group 20 foreign tourists from
Britain, South Africa and India for watching videos in a hotel, that
allegedly advocated terrorism and religious extremism. Two of the
tourists, however, said they were actually just watching a
documentary about the 13th century Mongol leader Genghis Khan.
It cited the foreign affairs of Ordos city, China, where police had
stopped these tourists as they were going to fly to Xi’an, home of
the terracotta warriors on a 47-day tour of the country. Britain’s
Press Association reported that the documentary was a BBC
production on he 13th century Mongol leader Genghis Khan, citing
statement of British couples. Said that the video “may have
mistakenly been deemed as ‘propaganda’ material.”
