Hate Crimes in America (and Elsewhere)

Rebecca Solnit, TomDispatch: ''We have an abundance of rape and violence against women in this country and on this earth, though it s almost never treated as a civil rights or human rights issue, or a crisis, or even a pattern. Violence doesn t have a race, a class, a religion, or a nationality, but it does have a gender.''

Military sex assault reports jump by 50 percent

The number of reported sexual assaults across the military shot up by more than 50 percent this year, an increase that defense officials say may suggest that victims are becoming more willing to come forward after a tumultuous year of scandals that shined a spotlight on the crimes and put pressure on the military to take aggressive action.
