Nepal is considering a law to make females under 40 years old get permission to leave the country.

This is supposed to be a measure to prevent them from being trafficked and enslaved. However, the result is patriarchal. Meanwhile, trafficking and enslavement is not limited to females, and the forced labor they do is not limited to sex. Perhaps a law should strongly encourage every Nepali who plans to leave to take a course of study about how enslavers actually work and the lures they use.

When considering issues about aid to the poor, we should keep in mind the human right not to live in poverty.

The War on Drugs is so drugged-out that its damage shows up in many aspects of life.

In Chicago, black and Hispanic cops are substantially less thuggish than white cops, on the average.

The article linked to just above displays symbolic bigotry by capitalizing "black" but not "white". (To avoid that bigotry, capitalize both words or neither one.) I object to bigotry, and normally I decline to link to articles which promote it. But I make an exception for articles which give important information about racism or the fight to eliminate racism. That article is one of the exceptions.
