Security researcher Bob Diachenko discovered the database last month. However, it took three weeks before the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team was able to remove the records from the database, which is still available online, according to ZDNet.reuters.com Much of the data was collected under the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act, which India's parliament enacted in 1994 to ban prenatal sex determination. It aimed to halt selective abortions of female fetuses and slow the male-skewed sex ratio in the nation.scmp.com Under the law, tests that reveal the sex of an unborn child can only be conducted for genuine medical reasons. The tests must be recorded along with the reasoning for carrying them out. The exposed records included information about dates and locations of such tests, pregnancy complications, patient contact details and abortions, along with admin passwords and logins.saveeta.com In addition, there were details about doctors and clinics that have ultrasound machines and other equipment that can detect the sex of fetuses, along with complaints against medical professionals and facilities that carried out sex determination tests.
[Men are watching the stairs. Some men who were passing through stores stopped walking to watch something at the stairs. After watching for a while, they resumed their walk. What caught their eyes were a number of women in the stairs. An elderly woman in heavy makeup was calling people passing. And a young girl was next to the old woman as well. To ask cooperation for news coverage, I headed to a nearby police station. Bhopal Singh, 52, is a police officer who was dispatched to G.B. Road Police Station six months ago. With the help of the police, I went to brothels no. 55 and 65, which are known to house many Nepalese girls. The police officer gave me his mobile number in case for emergency and told me he would wait outside. As I climbed narrow stairs, I smelled a mixture of moldy odor and makeup smell.
When the dark stairs was over, I was able to see women dressed in sari and men haggling over the price. I saw more women as I walked in. Kalyani, 45, has been living here for 30 years. She decided to leave Nepal after hearing that she could make a lot of money in India. Shuni, 18, said she came here after being sold by her father. She said, "My father sold me to a broker when I was 2. I hate my father." She revealed that she gets 5 to 15 customers a day. Darsha, 28, revealed that she came here after being sold by her father. She said, "I don't remember because I came here when I was very young. I still don't understand why my father sold me." She said most of the women in the brother came from Nepal.
Most of them were either sold by their family or deceived by brokers. I tried to interview those who came here. Shyam Mohan, a 28-year-old man who lives in Madhya Pradesh, said he made a visit with his friends. During the interview, another man came to me. He said that there are more young girls and that I should go with him. I followed the man to the third floor. There were girls that looked like preteens. When I tried to interview them, the man asked for money. He threatened me, saying, "If you want to interview them, you have to give me money. You won't leave her until you give money." Fortunately, I was able to escape safely after calling the police.
But the little girls did not come out. [The brothels at G.B Road. According to a 2015 survey by Indian ministry of health and welfare, there are nearly 3,500 female sex workers living in G.B Road and about 80% of them are presumed to be infected with HIV. In 2015, there were around 2.1 million people living with HIV in India. In the same year, nearly 196,000 people were newly infected with HIV and 130,000 people died from AIDS-related illness. Last year, the Indian government cut its budget for HIV/AIDS control programme by 22% due to financial reasons, causing drug supply delays and criticism from civic groups and international community. Although the government said it would restore its budget, the criticism continues.
Love and Hip-Hop star Mally Mall is already under fire for keeping exotic animals in his California home under lock and key. And now the famed producer has been busted for allegedly running a sex/human trafficking ring out of Vegas, TMZ reports. The lawsuit was filed a few weeks ago but the scathing allegations of the sex/human trafficking ring have just come to light. In the lawsuit, one of the women claimed she answered an ad in 2006, to join Mall’s company VIP Entertainment based in Dallas, which she says was a front for an escort service business. The woman said she was trafficked in various states and ended up in Vegas so she could work as a prostitute for the company.
But Mall she says lured women under the guise that the work was glamorous, much like that of a "Playboy Bunny," and he was a Hugh Heffner of sorts. Mall, she said used "methods of fraud" and instead she enslaved and often "forced" to perform oral sex on him. During her time as a "lady of the night", she was able to retain 30% of the money she earned. That soon changed, she said, and she eventually had to give Mall up to 100% of her makings. Under her duties, the woman said she flew to places like Chicago and Boston to perform sex and was issued only a small allowance for food and her hotel stay.
"Mally Mall was entering the music industry and he was recognized as a major pimp in the illegal sex trade in Las Vegas," the woman said. Mall’s in a lot of hot water over trafficking exotic animals as well. According to CBS News, officers seized a cotton-top tamarin monkey from the home after a search warrant was served on Wednesday by Los Angeles police and California Department of Fish and Wildlife agents. The monkey is "critically endangered", according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Capt. Patrick Foy from the California DFW informed TMZ that a serval cat and a spider monkey were taken from the house. Mall was at home during the raid and was arrested.
"The department officers will file a report with either the LA City Attorney or the LA District Attorney. The attorney’s office will decide if violations were committed," he said. The producer, who has worked with prominent artists such as Drake, Justin Bieber, Future and Snoop Dogg according to his website, is known for posting pictures of exotic animals on his Instagram. On the social media platform, Mall has pictures and videos of animals including a cheetah, a capuchin monkey, and a caracal cat. This particular species of cat is known to come from areas such as Africa the Middle East, Central Asia, and India.
An Indian woman, who resides in Bengaluru, filed a police complaint against her brother-in-law and his family after she was beaten and stripped on a road. The victim was hit with slippers and stones were thrown at her by the man’s family. They also attempted to stab her with a knife which resulted in the victim suffering a facial injury. After filing the complaint, the unnamed victim demanded action against Satish and Pramila. The woman is a mother of two and is a widow. Her husband, Shivakumar, passed away in January 2019. Since then, the woman and her children have been living in Banaswadi with her in-laws.
On Wednesday, April 3, 2019, the woman’s sister-in-law, Pramila got into a heated argument with her and accused her of being a prostitute. Pramila told her to leave the house as she was unemployed. She became violent and allegedly threw slippers and stones at the victim. The victim went to lodge a police complaint, however, they advised her to file a complaint on Thursday, April 4, 2019. The woman’s ordeal escalated after her in-laws discovered that she had gone to the police. After leaving the police station, the victim and her daughter went to run several errands and returned home at approximately 11 pm. However, when she returned, the victim was beaten and stripped near the house in the middle of a road. "I was parking my bike when Pramila came out with a knife all of a sudden and picked up a fight with me for approaching the police. "Soon, her husband and her daughter too joined in. They pulled me, harassed me and stabbed me with the knife on my face.
The first of more than 60 men charged in February in a Martin County prostitution sting has accepted a plea deal, court records show. Stanley Mills, 64, of Hobe Sound pleaded no contest to a charge of soliciting prostitution Thursday during a hearing. Prosecutors dropped a charge of use of structure or conveyance for prostitution. County Judge Darren Steele placed Mills on one year of probation and ordered that he serve 100 hours of community service. 5,000 civil fine and must take a class about the effects of prostitution and sex trafficking, court records show. A phone message left for Mills Monday evening was not returned.
Authorities say he paid for a sex act during a visit to the Bridge Foot Massage and Spa in Hobe Sound last October. Similar allegations were made against dozens of men as authorities alleged that they engaged in illicit activities at four day spas in Martin County, two in Hobe Sound and two in Stuart. A related investigation in Jupiter resulted in the arrests of 25 men, including Robert Kraft, the owner of the NFL's New England Patriots. Last Wednesday, Timothy Goering, 51, of Jupiter became the first defendant to accept a deferred prosecution offer from the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office. Other men facing charges are scheduled to have court appearances this week. Authorities in Palm Beach, Martin, Indian River and Orange counties began investigating the day spas nearly eight months ago after receiving tips that men were soliciting prostitution there. They say the spas appear linked to a human-trafficking ring that extends from Florida to China. Women allegedly came to the United States under the guise of having legitimate jobs at the spas, only to be forced to perform sex acts on male customers. The women often were confined to the spas, sleeping and eating there when they were not working. To date, no one has been arrested on human-trafficking charges in the investigation, although several face racketeering charges. Authorities say building human-trafficking cases will take time and will require the cooperation of the women brought to the U.S.
Imagine eight children, all former slaves, singing their hearts out to the President of India. Imagine this taking place in the grand and opulent Rashtrapati Bhavan Palace, New Delhi, once the seat of the viceroy of India at the time of the British Empire. It's a poignant song: "Give us back our childhood". Their own childhood was stolen from them years ago. Most of them weren't even 10 years old when they were forced to work in unimaginable circumstances, denied the chance to attend school, even to play like other children around the world. Their lives were changed when Indian child rights activist and now Nobel Peace Prize winner Kailash Satyarthi rescued them.
Over the last 30 years, Kailash has fought against the economic exploitation of children. He himself has freed over 80,000 minors from brick kilns, garment factories, mines and brothels across India. I was at the Rashtrapati Bhavan Palace when they were singing, this past Sunday. Their song marked the launch of Kailash's new global campaign "100 million for 100 million" which aims to harness the voices of the world's better off children to speak out for their disadvantaged counterparts. For the first time in India, child slavery is officially being recognised by the highest authority. And when Indian President Pranab Mukherjee publicly called for humankind to recognise that children must have both freedom and opportunity, tears welled up in my eyes and a lump formed in my throat.
It has been over 200 years since slavery was abolished, but sadly it still exists all over the world. Many of those forced to work without pay and denied their basic human rights are indeed children. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), there are 168 million child labourers across the world, with more than half involved in hazardous work in sectors such as agriculture, mining, construction, manufacturing and services. The ILO also estimates that 5.5 million of these children are enslaved -- born into servitude, trafficked for sex work, or trapped in debt bondage or forced labour. The number of children in slavery is certainly much higher: 10 to 15 million, according to most specialists. The Nobel has really had an extraordinary effect.
Attending this historic ceremony in Delhi on Sunday, I thought that the Committee who awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize to Kailash Satyarthi - jointly with Pakistani schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai- could never have anticipated the impact of their decision. They certainly could have not predicted that two years later the president of the biggest democracy in the world would stand alongside Kailash and the children that he saved from the hands of human trafficking gangs. It's refreshing to see how the Peace Prize motivated Kailash Satyarthi to do even more for the disadvantaged and neglected children in his country, and in the world at large. Instead of seeking worldwide fame, Kailash knocked on the door of the presidential palace and asked the president himself to take action to end child exploitation.
Sometimes cultural differences can hit you like a big basket of stale roti. It was a pleasant evening three days after I had made the move from the city of Bengaluru to my NGO's campus in the farming village of Devadurga, and I just finished dinner. In retrospect, I shouldn't have done it. Why did I do it? I don't know. I guess I just wanted to show my appreciation to Jenny for contributing to the warm feeling in my gut. Part of me knew it was a bad idea. But I did it anyway: after we both placed our cleaned plates on the stack, I turned to her, and I offered her a fist pound. She stopped. There was a collective silence in the coworkers sitting around us, and she stared at my fist with a shocked expression. I fumbled a bit.
Seeking to salvage the situation, I mimed a fist pound by bringing in my left hand. She managed some sort of closed mouth squeak and shook her head in a jerky motion. Her shock expression remained as, face red, she averted her eyes downward and rushed past me to the clay water pots. I turned to watch her, confused -- mind you, this all occurred very quickly. She filled her water cup and gave some sort of involuntary convulsion -- perhaps one of rage. Out of sheer confusion, I started to brush this off and return to my hut, but three other male coworkers grabbed my arms. We walked around the neighboring mosque, they told me that it was OK, they would remind her that I was a foreigner and a good guy at heart. As they talked, I realized that they were comforting me.
On our return, the five or so females were gone from the mess hall, and the rest of the male coworkers were standing, talking. Even the shape of the circle they had formed looked serious. They turned, and wholly embarrassed, I hurried back to my hut. Now, it is the case that in most of rural India, men and women lead very separate lives. In fact, it is not uncommon for fiances to talk to each other for the first time during their own engagement party. It also just so happens that [http://www.escortservice-delhi.com/ Escorts in Delhi] India, the left hand is reserved for wiping one's posterior, so it's rarely if ever acceptable in polite circumstances.
What I had done was essentially offer to relieve her of one form of her virginity or purity, with my "fecal" hand, in front of everyone. Yet as I ruminated this over in my bed, I couldn't help but feel hurt, angry, and alone. Wasn't my skin color enough to tell her that I wasn't from here; why couldn't she have given me the benefit of the doubt? Couldn't she see that I was just trying to be friendly, that it was ME, Lucas Spangher, that I didn't intend to take advantage of her? Didn't she realize that her conception of gender norms was as cultural as mine? Worse, I felt alienated from my coworkers after I was just starting to feel accepted. Why did THEY have to get so gossipy and treat me like a deviant when they weren't even involved?
The more I thought about it, the more upset I got. Of course it wasn't her responsibility to give me a break; I was the guest in her culture. One of the many reasons I embarked on this voyage was to learn cultural sensitivity, not demand it from others. But still, couldn't she meet me halfway? I woke from a fitful sleep and found that, to my relief, Jenny was nowhere to be seen at breakfast. She was gone the next day, and the day after that, and the next; she had decided to go home for the weekend early. When I saw her again, we did not interact.
As I reflected over that weekend, I realized, invoking Thomas Kune, in that instance we were both subject to large social forces that ran deeper than we knew or realized. My biggest mistake was to look at that interaction as a personal offense. Instead, it may be that there was almost nothing personal about it. Human beings may in some ways be like icebergs: so much of even the most upfront of us is beneath the surface. Which of our culture's approach to male-female interactions is healthier, I wondered? I have many female friends, and I'm used to hugging them, trading massages, and having long conversations about sex and sexuality.
Without these, I don't think I could view females as willing sexual actors who may derive as much pleasure from sex as men. So then, how can a society with such a rigid gender divide have a healthy approach to sex? One of my Bangalore friends responded, "Hey, India still has to the largest birth rate in the world." Problematic statement, to be sure, but perhaps he's right. It could be that our society's openness to sex truly doesn't make us enjoy it any more. Maybe many Indian couples develop physical intimacy during marriage as effectively as many Westerners do outside marriage.
I honestly don't know the answer. But, for the sake of argument, let's assume for a minute that, on average, rural India's husband and wife have less physical intimacy than an American, urban, educated couple. It may be possible; to my surprise, when I once stayed at a friend's family house in Bangalore, I shared a room with his dad. If so, is this necessarily a bad thing? So many problems can come with sex, and more than just physical ones like STDs and injuries. Sex can be used for leverage and favors, skewing a relationship, or conversely, can mask conflict without solving it. Too much sex can prevent you from getting to know someone and developing shared interests, too little sex after much sex can lead to doubts and insecurities.
And sexual consent is such a tricky thing to master: keeping in mind that society trains us to factor other's interests into our decisions, can a "yes" or "no" really mean 100 percent approval from one party? Even if so, one can consent to the process of sex with another, but how can they explicitly consent to every action that occurs? Western society may not have it right. Indeed, recalling the Platonic ideal relationship as being sexless, we might ironically be further from our Western roots than Indian society may be. This brings me to my next point: sex is distinct from love.
For this reason, if even for the sakes of argument sex is more present in "love marriages", as Indians call Western, non-arranged marriages, it's not clear to me that our marriages result in love. As a village friend put it, "I trust my parents can choose better than I can." This seems like anathema to us, but maybe we aren't the best judge who who we love. When you're the one choosing, you have the potential to fail in a much more personal way. I always found it easier to comment on the compatibility of other couples than judge it for myself. And maybe putting so much emphasis on making the "right" choice distracts from the reality that successful relationships are about growth, sacrifice, and compromise. Now, of course, I acknowledge that there are problems with India's romance system.
Relative to ours, it may not offer as much protection to women or sexual minorities.indiatimes.com Almost every day The Hindu features a story about a wife committing suicide about dowry harassment, of wife beating. Homosexuality has been criminalized and re-criminalized. However, it is always useful to use a different system as a way to recognize the shortcomings in our own. Surely there are benefits and drawbacks to both, and whatever choices we make for our own lives, we are stronger for having observed more ways of making them. I do not know how Jenny and I will proceed in our interactions. I saw her once after that weekend and then never again; perhaps she transferred to another campus. Despite all this, I wish her well. I thank her for the learning opportunity she has given me, and, above all, I promise to her to never, ever offer her a fist pound again.
On a grubby stretch of Peckham Road, just down from a replica of Del Boy’s van from Only Fools and Horses, stands an old sausage factory. Inside are gardens, beehives , bonsai trees, tables covered in fresh rose petals and a room full of Japanese flower arrangements. Here, assistants labour painstakingly over some of the most eye-popping paintings being produced today. It’s my second visit to Shaw’s decadent London domain. One work was commissioned by a collector: writhing naked male monsters sculpted in stone, topped off with a glass plinth at chest height. I finally reeled out with a pot of pink hydrangeas as a parting gift - which, happily, still bloom today.
