Mexico is a beautiful place to visit with all the festivities, beaches, spicy food, and historic cities. People in Mexico are very fond of their traditions and culture, which is not a bad thing but the impact it has on the diverse sexualities is a major concern. In the late 19th century, gay sexual activity had been forbidden due to the French influence, and gay couples were executed if they got caught. Though we are living in the 21st century due to a stronghold of catholicism and the prevalence of machismo culture which defines the role of a male and female in society, anything different from that is not accepted.  The Mexican law supports gay marriages and if we consider the changes in the laws made for gay couples, then Mexico has stronger LGBT rights than the US, even then there is a lot of hate, discrimination, and violence towards LGBT communities mostly in the small cities and ruler areas. Recently a 28yrs old gay couple from texas named Nohemi Medina Martinez and Yulisa Ra...

Rape is just a 4 letters word but it holds the power to mentally and emotionally destroy a women’s life. It takes years to overcome that fear and disgust.  When a woman is walking alone on the street she will always have a fear inside that something might happen, it does not matter it’s day or night because even though we are living in the 21st century some people are sick enough to sexually assault women if they find them alone. For a woman to be scared of strangers is normal, to have that fear that she might be sexually assaulted if she roams alone on the streets is also normal but no girl/woman would have that fear in their own home from their own brother and father. It’s shocking that a 16yr old kid was sexually assaulted by her own father and brother for the past 2 yrs in Dharavi, Mumbai. The victim didn’t speak up because she was scared of her father and her brother, and she decided to confess to her school teacher only because she was scared that they would do the same thing...

Poverty leads families to certain vulnerabilities and these vulnerabilities lead to exploitation. Many poor families are lured into trafficking in hopes of employment, a better future for their kids, or financial benefits. But in most cases, these kids are either sexually abused/ exploited or forced into labor and prostitution.  Money can make people do the worst of worst things one of which is trafficking. People involved in trafficking prove to be very dangerous, as kids once trafficked are hard to find and rescue. In a recent event, 6 women of an alleged gang involved in infant trafficking were arrested in Delhi.
