MARITAL RAPE

A topic that isn’t spoken about enough is that marital rape still isn’t considered a crime in a few countries like India, Singapore, Oman, Ghana and more. when your partner says no it means no and being legally bonded to a person will never change that.

A married person has the same rights their own body as does an unmarried person. Rape is rape, no matter what. One in three men have admitted to raping their wives and one indian women is raped every second. This isn't okay and a change needs to come.

HOW WE ARE SPEEDING TOWARDS DESTRUCTION : ARTICLE ON GLOBAL WARMING.

We know what it is, we know the causes, we know the solutions. All of us also know we can't win a battle if we are fighting alone.

So in this section, I'm not going to mention what exactly climate change is but what's at stake if we don't act now.

The 1.5 degrees C Plan And How That's Not Working Out
It was decided that reducing the global warming rates down to ideally 1.5 degrees celsius would help in a lot of ways against the crisis. This goal can be failed to meet in the next five years.
2020 Northern Hemisphere land and ocean surface temperature was the highest in the 141-year record at +1.28°C (+2.30°F) above average.
The plans are either too slow or in some cases, we're going in the wrong direction entirely.

What's gonna happen if this exceeds to 2 degrees celsius?
~ Sea level could reach to 1.8 feet by 2050, affecting billions.
~ Increase in flood rates by 170%.
~ 18% of insects, 16% of plants, and 8% of vertebrates will all lose their natural habitats.
~ When and if it reaches 2 degrees celsius, artic will go ice-free in one decade.

HOW TO HELP
First step is to care! Create awareness, sign petitions, and do your part to reducing the carbon footprint.
1. Pledge to Cut Your Carbon Footprint
2. Tell Global Leaders to Cooperate on Fresh Water
3. Stop Wildlife Crime
