When I arrived in Austria, I’ve applied for asylum and While I was waiting for my application to be approved, I was an asylum-seeker.

But what about cases where there was no physical violence? What about cases where the victim froze, paralysed not by violence but by sheer terror, or because the person who raped them was a friend or partner? We know this happens, so the law should take account of it.

TripAdvisor lists more than 70 different properties, activities and attractions in illegal Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT). By doing so, TripAdvisor is boosting the settlement economy and contributing to settlement expansion. The company’s promotion of settlements as a tourist destination helps to “normalise” and legitimise them to the public. Settlements are illegal under international law - their creation amounts to a war crime.
Since 1967, when Israel captured and occupied the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, the Israeli government has promoted the creation and expansion of settlements.

Huge inequality exists when it comes to class and race in South Africa and it piqued my interest in politics. Life is especially difficult for girls and women.
