(Dân trí) - Trao đổi với Dân trí, Trung tướng Nguyễn Đức Tỉnh – Cục trưởng Cục Nhà trường (Bộ Quốc phòng) nhấn mạnh: “Chỉ tiêu dành cho nữ đối với khối trường quân sự là rất ít trong khi lượng đăng ký đông. Chính vì thế cần phải lượng được sức mình khi quyết định dự thi”.

When I was a student here decades ago, I loved bookstores and teashops like this. It seemed to me that wherever four or so Bengalis were gathered together, there was a political argument and a new poetry magazine. Now, women are not just an audience. We are talking and also putting our own books on these shelves. You might say we are creating a psychic country of women and men in places like shelters and bookstores that circle the world.

With the new documentary “Anita,” the Oscar-winning director Freida Mock (“Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision”) brings a fresh perspective to a somber and awkward chapter of modern American politics: the Senate hearings to confirm Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court amid accusations of sexual harassment by Anita Hill.

In a campaign from the United Nations that seeks to promote women’s rights, there is not a woman in sight – and that is deliberate.
The strategy behind the campaign, which is to begin on Friday morning, is revealed by its theme, “He for she” – in other words, men ought to stand up for the rights of the women of the world who are their mothers, sisters and daughters.

President Jimmy Carter has written more than two dozen books over the course of his career, about everything from the art of aging to how to achieve peace in the Middle East. All his writing is anchored by a deep-seated belief in the equality of all people.
In his new book, A Call To Action, Carter tackles a fundamental question of equality head-on: the subjugation of women in cultures around the world. Carter joins NPR's Rachel Martin to talk about the state of human trafficking and whether religion can be a conduit for lasting change around gender.

In 2008, despite tremendous economic progress, gender inequality remained entrenched. Parents still had to give huge gifts (instead of dowry, now illegal) to get their daughters married. Girls typically signed away their land to brothers at the time of their marriage. Most young brides, even those with secondary and tertiary education, were confined to the household and experienced pressure from their mothers-in-law to have children as quickly as possible.

Women run just a quarter of the biggest art museums in the United States and Canada, and they earn about a third less than their male counterparts, according to a report released on Friday by the Association of Art Museum Directors, a professional organization.

Although Sunday’s Oscars seemed like a pantheon of diversity for women, gays, blacks and transgenders, Hollywood is disintegrating faster than it is transitioning to modernity. As films lose cultural hegemony to TV, Oscar voters and industry top brass are still overwhelmingly white, male and middle-aged. … Women accounted for 6 percent of directors, 10 percent of writers, 15 percent of executive producers, 17 percent of editors and 3 percent of cinematographers.

Domestic violence deserves far more attention and resources, and far more police understanding of the complexities involved. This is not a fringe concern. It is vast, it is outrageous, and it should be a national priority.
Women worldwide ages 15 to 44 are more likely to die or be maimed as a result of male violence than as a consequence of war, cancer, malaria and traffic accidents combined. Far more Americans, mostly women, have been killed in the last dozen years at the hands of their partners than in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

HADO-RI, South Korea — On a recent morning, as she has for 60 years, Kim Eun-sil carried her diving gear to a rocky beach on the eastern side of this island to spend the day free-diving in water more than 20 feet deep to harvest seafood by hand.
>Ms. Kim, 80, figures she can work a few more years at a job women here have done for centuries but which now is fast disappearing.
