    'A rapist in your path': Chilean protest song becomes feminist anthem

    A Chilean protest song about rape culture and victim shaming has become an anthem for feminists around the world. Un Violador en Tu Camino – A Rapist in Your Path – was first performed in late November as Chile’s nationwide uprising against social inequality went into its second month. Here's a look at how the song, and its accompanying dance moves, have spread across Latin America and the world Subscribe to Guardian News on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/guardianwiressub Chile security forces' crackdown leaves toll of death and broken bodies ► https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/nov/25/chile-protester-killed-mother-army-police-romario-veloz Support the Guardian ► https://support.theguardian.com/contribute Today in Focus podcast ► https://www.theguardian.com/news/series/todayinfocus The Guardian YouTube network: The Guardian ► http://www.youtube.com/theguardian Owen Jones talks ► http://bit.ly/subsowenjones Guardian Football ► http://is.gd/guardianfootball Guardian Sport ► http://bit.ly/GDNsport Guardian Culture ► http://is.gd/guardianculture

    How does climate change affect bushfires? \\ Climate Council

    Climate change is at the heart of worsening bushfires in Australia. Here’s why. Illustration credit: Jess Harwood -- Subscribe here: http://goo.gl/JUPEL3 After thousands of Australians chipped in to Australia's biggest crowd-funding campaign, the abolished Climate Commission has relaunched as the new, independent Climate Council. We exist to provide independent, authoritative climate change information to the Australian public. Why? Because our response to climate change should be based on the best science available.

    The Greatest Speech Of Leonardo DiCaprio | Climate Change | by MirekLeFou

    Editing this speech was emotionally challenging for me. I used various clips and audio from TV discussions and footage from many documentaries, mostly Before The Flood. Whatever your opinion or stance on this topic might be, I hope you enjoy this short video and that it will encourage you to watch #BeforeTheFlood and many documentaries alike.

    Listen: International Day of the Girl

    Here is an uncomfortable truth: the youngest girls who participated in this film will be almost ready to retire by the time men and women in Australia are paid the same amount. The rate of change towards gender parity is agonisingly slow for girls growing up in Australia and around the world. We know that at the heart of this issue is lack of visibility about the experiences of girls. It’s time we really listened to what girls have to say about this. That’s why Plan International Australia interviewed 18 Australian girls aged 10 to 17 years old to gain rare insight into how this group experiences their world. Partnering with Wellcom Worldwide, we produced the film Listen for International Day of the Girl. We wanted to know where they feel inequality most profoundly. And about their aspirations and hopes for the future and those things that are getting in the way of them living a rich and fulfilling life. https://www.plan.org.au

    Goalkeepers Campaign Award: Amika George #FreePeriods

    Amika George is the 18-year-old student founder of #FreePeriods, a campaign that aims to make sure that no girl in the UK is suffering from period poverty. It calls on the government to provide free menstrual products to all children on free school meals. Amika George (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amika_George) Amika George is a British activist who campaigns against period poverty in the United Kingdom. George was raised in United Kingdom. George was inspired to take action after reading an article describing how many poor British women missed school due to stigma around menstruation and/or being unable to afford sanitary products such as tampons. Free Periods Protest 2017 (https://www.pinkprotest.org/freeperiods) In August 2017 The Pink Protest began working with teenage activist Amika George on the #FreePeriods campaign, calling on the British government to put an end to British period poverty. #FreePeriods was started by Amika George in April 2017, after the BBC published a report that 1 in 10 girls in the UK can't afford to buy menstrual products. Period Poverty (https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/period-poverty-everything-you-need-to-know/) Women and young girls who menstruate are ostracized from basic activities, like eating certain foods, or socializing, all over the world. The cultural shame attached to menstruation and a shortage of resources stop women from going to school and working every day. Period poverty is the lack of access to sanitary products, menstrual hygiene education, toilets, hand washing facilities, and, or, waste management.
