A brutal reality for women in India
병원 수련의를 끔찍하게 강간하고 살해한 사건으로 인해 전국적인 시위가 이어지고 있다고 합니다.
인도의 인구가 중국을 앞지르고 경제적으로도 급성장을 하고 있는데, 여성 인권은 여전히 최악이네요.
The Supreme Court of India this week took up the case of the ghastly rape and murder of a trainee doctor in a Kolkata hospital earlier this month. The case has convulsed the nation and led to doctor strikes and large street protests.
…
Context: India, by many measures, remains one of the world’s most unsafe places for women. Rape and domestic violence are relatively common, and conviction rates are low. The case of the trainee doctor comes 12 years after a physiotherapy student died after being gang-raped on a bus in New Delhi, leading to national outrage.

Thailand confirms its first case of a deadlier Mpox
아프리카 밖에서 mpox 가 발견된 사례는 스웨덴 이후 태국이 두번째라고 하네요. 이번 바이러스의 사망률은 3%로 이전의 0.2%보다 높아졌습니다.
Thai health officials have confirmed a case of the version of mpox that prompted the World Health Organization to declare a global health emergency.
The infected person is a 66-year-old European man who worked in an African country with an ongoing outbreak. Officials did not specify which country. The man, who has a home in Thailand, was not reported to have severe symptoms.
It’s the second time that the new and deadlier version of the virus has been found outside Africa. Coupled with the earlier case, discovered in Sweden last week, the announcement in Thailand is likely to stir concerns that the virus is spreading more widely. The outbreak previously had been concentrated in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Details: The new version of the virus has a death rate of 3 percent, much higher than the 0.2 percent death rate observed in a 2022 outbreak.
