OpportunitySelf defense trainingAccording to Victims of Sexual Violence: Statistics on Rainn, about "80 percent of juvenile victims were female and 90 percent of rape victims were adult women".[5] In addition, women from ages 18 to 34 are highly at risk to experience sexual assault. According to historian Wendy Rouse in Her Own Hero: The Origins of Women's Self-Defense Movement, women's self-defense training emerged in the early twentieth century in the United States and the United Kingdom paralleling the women's rights and suffrage movement. These early feminists sought to raise awareness about the sexual harassment and violence that women faced on the street, at work, and in the home. They challenged the notion that men were their "natural protectors" noting that men were often the perpetrators of violence against women. Women discovered a sense of physical and personal empowerment through training in boxing and jiu-jitsu. Interest in women's self-defense paralleled subsequent waves of the women's rights movement especially with the rise of Second-wave feminism in the 1960s and 1970s and Third-wave feminism in the 1990s.[6] Today's Empowerment Self-Defense (ESD) courses focus on teaching verbal and psychological as well as physical self-defense strategies. ESD courses explore the multiple sources of gender-based violence especially including its connections with sexism, racism, and classism. Empowerment Self-Defense instructors focus on holding perpetrators responsible while empowering women with the idea that they have both the right and ability to protect themselves.[By: Anne Miller vijayalaxmi Santosh MhetreThursday, May 27, 2021WATER, ENERGY, AND THE ENVIRONMENT

ArticleRescued AnimalsRescue groups exist for most pet types (reptile rescue, rabbit rescue or bird rescue), but are most common for dogs and cats. For animals with many breeds, rescue groups may specialize in specific breeds or groups of breeds.[1] For example, there might be local Labrador Retriever rescue groups, hunting dog rescue groups, large-dog rescue groups, as well as general dog rescue groups. Animal rescue organizations have also been created to rescue and rehabilitate wild animals, such as lions, tigers, and cheetahs; a job which is normally shared or backed by zoos and other conservation charities. These animals are normally released back into the wild where possible, otherwise they will remain in captivity and may be used in breeding for an endangered species. Widely recognized as an umbrella organization for animal rescue groups, Petfinder.org is an online, searchable database of more than 13,000 shelters and adoption agencies across the United States, Canada and Mexico.[2] The American Kennel Club maintains a list of contacts, primarily within breed clubs, with information on breed rescue groups for purebred dogs in the United States. Animal shelters often work closely with rescue groups, because shelters that have difficulty placing otherwise healthy and pet-worthy animals would usually rather have the animal placed in a home than euthanized; while shelters might run out of room, rescue groups can often find volunteers with space in their homes for temporary placement. Some organizations (such as Old Dog Haven) work with older animals whose age would liBy: Anne Miller vijayalaxmi Santosh MhetreThursday, May 27, 2021CULTURE AND SOCIETY+1

ArticleThe Role of Nonclassroom Spaces in Living-Learning CommunitiesGlobal education and global competence prepare students for the 21st century. Nearly every major issue facing people has a global dimension, from climate change to economics. Schools must prepare students to be globally competent by being able to both understand and act upon issues of global significance. Global education is built upon a foundation of knowledge and understanding but frames learning within the lens of rigorous study. This incorporates investigations, recognizing perspectives, communicating ideas, and taking action. The impact on student learning is great. Research has demonstrated that students who learn content through authentic tasks and real-world experiences are more likely to engage in learning, attend school, and achieve more. Ultimately, students who experience global education are more likely to have a competitive edge when entering the university system or labor force.By: Anne Miller vijayalaxmi Santosh MhetreThursday, May 27, 2021HEALTH AND NUTRITION+1
