Fifteen rape victims have formed martial arts movement and are prepared to confront abusers if no one listens to their complaints…A GROUP of women are fighting back against the sickening culture of rape which they say infects India. Fifteen determined females – all victims themselves – have trained in martial arts and are prepared to hand out rough justice if no one listens to their complaints. And the movement, called the Red Brigade, is growing rapidly following the gang rape and murder of medical student Jyoti Singh Pandey that horrified the world.In a nation where a woman is reportedly raped every 20 minutes, the group’s leader Usha Vishwakarma said: “We are fighting back – and the boot is now on the other foot.” Member Sufia Hashmi, 17, said: “We’ve caught a lot of men recently. I joined because men always used to pass comments on me and touch my body but now we beat them and they run.”Like the other members in the northern city of Lucknow, 25- year-old Usha has first-hand experience of the daily dangers women face in the huge nation – a teacher tried to rape her when she was 18. She said: “He grabbed me and tried to open my trousers. I kicked him in the crotch and ran.” Usha complained to staff but they told her to forget it and allowed her attacker to carry on teaching. She said: “Many parents tell girls to quit school so there will be no sexual violence. But we said no – this has to stop. We decided to form a group to fight for ourselves, not just complain.”MORE

“We’re all Roma women:” What would you like to see represented?
So I’m not the best artist, but I’m drawing these out in my sketchbook right now, and I’m hoping that maybe I could either
figure out how to colorget a wide variety of flesh-colored pencils or upload the drawing and have someone digitally color it. It’s in the simple style that Lisa started it as.I think there’s room for probably 20 girls, if not more, and I wanna fill the page! We seriously have THAT much diversity. What does everyone think is important to put on here?
So far, I’m thinking it’s important to showcase diversity in:
- skin tone
- hair (texture, length, style and color)
- clothing styles of major vitsas + “Westernized” clothing
- different levels of “modesty” in clothing
- various body shapes & sizes
- religious affiliation (especially our Muslim sisters)
Anything else? I also want to represent queer/trans* women, but I have no idea how to do that in such a simple drawing (Unless I just cop out and draw like, two female signs looped together on one woman’s shirt for queer, but for trans*…? A trans* woman is a woman, so like. How to differentiate??)
Input would be really great because it shouldn’t just be one person! ;;
Edit: I’d also like to represent biracial Romani women, since I myself am one! Mixed with white doesn’t really need representation, but I’d like to add Afro-Roma for sure, and I think there are decent-sized Latina Romani populations? No matter what you do, I feel like someone’s going to get left out, and I don’t want that. >__<
it’s a very difficult task.
Why not draw what you have but then say that it’s not a finished project and ask others for input once it’s done? It seems to me as though you have a lot of people covered…
maybe age… not all Romani women are young 20-somethings. Some are old, some are mothers (and some have 8 kids some have 1 kid), some are young… OH… and by Latin@ Roma do you also mean Gitan@? (who have Roma roots)
This sounds like it’d be a really cool large group project, because it is definitely a very big thing for one person to do. I know I had thought about making small things for International Roma Day similar to this, in support of my wonderful friends here, but decided not to because there’s very many different people and I would feel awful even leaving one out (as well as I’m not Roma, and even if my intentions are good, people outside my circle of friends here might not approve).
Best of luck with your project!

Blood Falls, a Natural Time Capsule Containing a Unique Ecosystem
This five-story, blood-red “waterfall” pours ever so slowly out of the Taylor Glacier in Antarctica’s McMurdo Dry Valley. Geologists first discovered the frozen waterfall in 1911, and believed the red color came from algae. Its true nature turned out to be more spectacular.
Roughly two million years ago, a small body of water containing an ancient community of microbes was sealed beneath the surface of the Taylor Glacier. Trapped below a thick layer of ice, the microbes have remained isolated inside a natural time capsule, in a place with no light, oxygen, or heat.The trapped lake has very high salinity and is rich in iron, which gives the seepage its red color. A fissure in the glacier allows the microbial subglacial lake to flow out, forming the falls without contaminating the ecosystem within.
More photos of Blood Falls can be seen on Atlas Obscurathis is so fucking metal.
