Human Trafficking In Iraq: Every Trafficker’s Favourite Jam

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 26, 20220

The media has only paid to violence, terror and war in Iraq, ignoring the side-effects of the ongoing instability and war instability in Iraq, particularly human trafficking. Human trafficking in Iraq prevailed under Saddam Hussain; the situation worsened by the end of his reign. The U.S. Department of State's 2020 Trafficking in Persons Report ranked Iraq as a tier 2 country. A Tier 2 status means that the nation has not been successful in trafficking using its implemented measures. One of the measures by the Iraqi government includes identifying seventy victims of human trafficking. It has been acknowledged as much higher than this. The blame is passed on to the lack of functioning a functioning in fracture for combating human trafficking correctly. An example is a report from the

France’s Africa: A Story Of Modern Day Colonialism

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 26, 20220

The French Empire was one of the most powerful in human history. At its height, it controlled almost ten per cent of the world's land area. The country was a dominant global power from Southeast Asia to West Africa. And that was particularly true in Africa. France oversaw territory spanning 17 modern-day nations, from Morocco to the Congo. Under the banner of a "civilising mission," France managed brutal occupations that engorged the empire's wealth. It left a terrible legacy for ordinary Africans – marked by slavery, extraction, and murder. And today, France's empire in Africa is STILL around – in a streamlined, more profitable, and even more exploitative form. In the aftermath of the Second World War, a wave of decolonial movements swept across Africa and Asia. And the French –...

Relief Funds Conned In US: The Bleeding Aid In America

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 25, 20220

When investigators raided a small mall store in Garden Grove in California, they found a line of customers snaking around the parking area and huge bundles of notes inside the store. According to the Orange County prosecutors, Nguyen Social Services was charging up to $700 to file false cases of unemployment claims for people who couldn't qualify to get relief money for Covid-19. The shameless fraud was part of a scheme that cost taxpayers an estimated $11 million, according to prosecutors. "This isn't just an Orange County problem. It isn't just a California problem," Attorney Todd Spitzer from Orange County added. "This is a breakdown of catastrophic proportions that has failed the American taxpayer." Government programs have long been a golden opportunity for scammers. But th...

The Chinese Surveillance System: An All Seeing Eye Of Malice

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 25, 20220

China is known for its notoriously quasi-democratic autocracy, which occasionally protrudes beyond the nations' border. Domestically, Xi Ping, the Chinese Putin, maintains a deadly grip through its infamous surveillance technology with the use of cameras, infrared sensors, voice recognition software and biometric technology. Other than to control any crimes to maintain the stability of the state, protests and anti-humanitarian acts by the government are not disclosed and kept a secret. The blame for any form of chaos is blamed on anyone who isn't Han Chinese, the majority of the nation. In 2019 footage showed the system in its flesh. The video showed the blindfolded and fettered Uighur Muslims marching to detention centres. The Xinjiang province, which housed the most Uighurs in China e...

Isha PoddarJuly 25, 20220

Pope Francis started a historic visit to Canada on July 24 to apologize to Indigenous people for abuses by missionaries at residential schools, an essential step in the Catholic Church’s attempt to reconcile with Native communities and help them out in recovering from trauma. Francis kissed the hand of a residential school remnant as he was greeted at the Edmonton, Alberta, airport being Indigenous representatives, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mary Simon, an Inuk who is Canada’s first Indigenous governor-general.

Rape Culture Prevails In Thailand: School Halls Become Hell For Students

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 22, 20220

Nalinrat Thuthubthim was in highschooler when the assault happened. She'd often stay on the premises after school had ended, working on speeches with her teacher for the upcoming competitions. Needing to use the restroom, she asked a faculty to help her lift the shutter on the washroom doorway. Secluded with the teacher, he then proceeded to rape her, holding her around the neck and groping her under her clothes."I froze, I stayed still and wanted to cry. My mind was blank, it froze. My hands and feet were cold," Nalinrat said in an interview in 2021. When she told a female teacher about the attack, the teacher blamed it on what she was wearing and said they showed off her body and were sexually arousing. Nalinrat showed reporters what she wore that night: a drab grey T-shirt and black ...

Poor Rural Female Labourers Get Tricked Into Hysterectomy: Females’ Privates Aborted

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 22, 20220

Hysterectomy, especially radical hysterectomy, is a medical procedure involving the complete removal of the womb(uterus ) from the women's body. It is a strenuous process both for the professionals who perform it and the female who has to endure this long surgery. This surgical operation is usually done to avoid or remove cancers ( Ovarian, uterine or cervical ), fibroids (non-cancerous tumours ) and heavy periods. Due to the toll, this takes on the patient's body. This treatment is usually reserved as the last resort if all else fails to resolve the disabilities and diseases. After the procedure, regardless of their age, women's period will stop. But they will experience the effects of menopause ( which has more compilations like osteoporosis in the long term and ageing in general ), stom...

American War In Afghanistan: A Blank Cheque For Corruption

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 22, 20220

Arguably the most arduous war the US had fought to date, the war against terror pales the pointlessness of Vietnam. After rigorous attrition of Afghani civilian and American force’s lives and taxpayer money, the US eventually pulled out of the twenty-year-old conflicted empty-handed, ending the period of interregnum. However, upon closer, company owners, firms, and influential individuals might have used this war for profiteering and capitalised on the situation to suit their greed while lives perished and were decimated. The US is known for its free market and privatising amenities like health care and healthcare insurance. This includes management and supplies for fighting the nation’s wars for which security companies provide: trained manpower, food, supplies, ammunition, fuel ta

Portugal’s Tackling Of Drugs: Addicts Humanised Instead Of Criminalised

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 20, 20220

Combating drug addiction has always been an issue for nations as drugs keep pouring in through cartels that target wealthy countries where the populace wants to indulge and governments that have economic downtrodden where the citizens want to forget about the squalor that is their lives. At any rate, it has led to violence, cartels gaining power and influence, death due to overdoses and complications faced by drug users in regards to their relationship, effects that drugs have on their bodies and withdrawals of not taking drugs when they try to get away from the grasp of addiction. This 'War On Drugs' popularised in the U.S. has led to many nations cracking down on suppliers and drug users alike. Like The Philippines, where the police force, when suspecting or catching someone smocking ...

Poverty In Philippines: Filipino Infants Get Exchanged For Money

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 20, 20220

The pandemic’s aftermath has wreaked havoc or at least left an indelible on every nation in the world. From Sri Lanka’s economic collapse due to the demise of its tourism industry to a little chink in the Kiwi’s economy. It will take quite a while before nations reach the same stature and go back to the same status quo as they were before Covid-19 and rebuild themselves to their full strength. The Philippines is no exception, but the rampant poverty inflicted by the aftermath of the contagious virus and corruption in the nation ever-present has forced its natives to open up a market for buying and selling their infants on Facebook. The Philippines has one of the highest rates in Asia, and by 2020 around 1.53 million infants will be brought into the world. Still, it also could be beca...

London’s Lavish Life Levied As Dirty Russian Money Flows In Thames

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 19, 20220

London is arguably the ethereal realm for the most exquisite prime real estate. Garnished with the world's best brands in automobile, clothing and most delicate restaurant for the palates laced with Gold, it is a prime destination for the comfortably affluent worldwide. This may also include the oligarchs of Russia who stash their cash deep in London, where it remains safe. Britain was one of the first nations to sanction Russia in an attempt to handicap the nation; however, economically, this sincere motive turns duplicitous as Ruble's worth of cash is protected by the U.K. This has been taking place long before the war between Ukraine and Russia broke out with a Home office report finding a significant volume of Russian, or Russian-linked illicit finance channelled through the U.K...

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 18, 20220

After the collapse of The United Soviet Socialist Republic (U.S.S.R.), better known as the soviet union, on 26th December 1991, after attempts and making a more democratic nation by Boris, which eventually waned, Vladimir Putin announced on 31st December 1999 that he is now the head of the state. F.S.B. Masha Gessen, an author and journalist, commented on his rule by saying, “So, he was trying to remake Russia in the image of the K.G.B. Like if everything in the world could be as centralised, insular, and secretive as the K.G.B., it would work well.” Hence to concretise his control to totality. First, he took down the independent Russian media companies, gazettes and papers under the power of the Russian state. Hence Putin managed to cover his tracks and his operations’ illegality. Next...
