Harassment is a term that covers a wide range of offensive behaviours that demean, humiliate, embarrass, or violate a person. It can take the form of spoken or written words, images and graffiti, physical gestures or contact, facial expressions, and more. A particular issue for women in society is harassment based on their sex. This is an issue that has become prominent for women who are working in education – they often face harassment not only from other male colleagues, but also from the students who they are teaching. Why does this problem exist, and how can you best handle harassment from male staff and students?

Written 13.09.2020 This article was written to inform US voters on the benefits of mail-in ballot voting in the upcoming presidential election. The COVID-19 pandemic has hugely influenced the ways in which the American voting public is approaching the presidential election, including the methods with which they vote - where they will fill out their ballot and how they will submit it.

Written 02.08.2020 for a client on iWriter This article explores the issues in Iraq's approach to the problem of child marriage, and how it can be compared to the acceptance of paedophilia Despite the presence of some laws against child marriage, in Iraq, it is a frequently used practice that leaves many young girls at risk. Iraq's Personal Status Law (enacted in 1959) states that you must be over 18 to be legally married. However, more than 1/5 marriages are under the legal age. The laws are not being enforced due to the extreme destabilization that conflict has caused to the region - state institutions have been weakened, and therefore do not have the resources to effectively manage and curb the growth of child marriage. The growth of child marriage is effectively normalizing the practice of child paedophilia.
