(FRANCOIS GUILLOT/AFP/Getty Images) AFP/GETTY IMAGES The Richest Woman In The World  Madeline Berg Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s L'Oréal? In Francoise Bettencourt Meyers case, it’s both. The L'Oréal heiress, who is also the chairwoman of her family’s holding company, is the world’s richest woman, with a fortune of $49.3 billion. Bettencourt Meyers, who is the 15th-richest person in the world, leads the women on the 2019 Forbes World’s Billionaires list, which will be published in full on March 5.

Report slams Denmark, bastion of gender equity, for enabling a ‘pervasive rape culture’ Denmark’s reputation for gender equity suffered a blow on Tuesday after a new Amnesty International report accused the country of enabling a “pervasive ‘rape culture’ and endemic impunity for rapists.” In particular, the report suggested that Denmark’s “antiquated” violence-oriented legal definition of rape contributes significantly to the country’s poor track record in prosecuting sexual violence. According to the Danish Ministry of Justice, an estimated 5,100 incidents of rape occurred in Denmark in 2017, but only 890 were reported to police. Of the 535 rape cases that made it to trial, just 94 cases resulted in guilty verdicts. Helle Jacobsen, an Amnesty International researcher working in Denmark, told the New York Times that defining rape through physical violence made it difficult for women to prove they were raped without evidence of physical coercion. Instead, she suggested, the benchma

A WOMAN RECEIVES A FLU SHOT AT A WALGREENS PHRAMACY ON JANUARY 22, 2018 IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA. (JUSTIN SULLIVAN/GETTY IMAGES) Flu shots don’t cause miscarriages, study finds  A WOMAN RECEIVES A FLU SHOT AT A WALGREENS PHRAMACY  A new study has found that flu shots do not cause miscarriages, in spite of one scientific study and ample speculation positing a connection. As CNN reports, the new study was presented last week to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. The CDC had asked two researchers — Edward Belongia, director of the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Population Health at the Marshfield Clinic Research Institute in Wisconsin, and James Donahue, a senior epidemiologist at Marshfield — to further investigate a study they conducted during the 2010-11 and 2011-12 flu seasons. That study found an increased risk of miscarriage in the 28 days after vaccination—but only among women who had received an H1N1

The son of a senior official was arrested for smuggling $ 125,000 through the airport The Sudanese authorities on Saturday arrested the son of a senior official and a leader of the National Convention at the airport carrying $ 125 thousand dollars on his way to the United Arab Emirates. The government has announced laws that criminalize more than 3,000 dollars and is expected to try the son of the leader of the emergency law, which carries a sentence of up to 6 years and the confiscation of receipts with a fine of 100,000 Sudanese pounds. Last week, the authorities issued verdicts against a smuggler at the airport carrying 36,000 riyals on his way to India, less than a third of the son of the leader of Baquba, who reached six years and one hundred thousand pounds, a financial penalty and confiscation of the sum in favor of the state.  Source: Ruwa Center for Press Services القبض على نجل مسؤل كبير بتهريب 125 الف دولار عبر المطار .. صرح مصدر فضل حجب اسمه بمطار الخرطوم عن إلقاء ال

Candice Payne paid for hotel rooms so Chicago’s homeless would not be left out in sub-zero temperatures, and also bought toiletries, food, prenatal vitamins and other items to ensure they were well looked after during their stay. (Facebook/Candice Payne) ‘Just a little black girl from the South Side’: How one Chicago woman helped 100 homeless people during polar vortex When temperatures in the Midwest plummeted to life-threatening lows last week, a Chicago real estate broker sprang into action to help homeless individuals get off the frigid streets. According to the New York Times, Candice Payne made a “spur of the moment” decision to rent 30 rooms at the local Amber Inn, at a price of $70 per room, for more than 100 of the city’s homeless. Before Payne stepped in, people on the streets of Chicago had been relying on propane heaters to stay warm — but the heaters were confiscated after one of the tanks exploded.

Candice, a super hero, has rescued 70 homeless people One woman managed to save dozens of Chicago residents during the stormy cold snap that hit the US Midwest last week. Real estate broker Candice Penn told NBC that she was worried about the fate of homeless people on the city streets in the midst of a cold spell. "The people were distributing blankets, food and gas cylinders to the displaced," she said, but she saw that this was not enough and that some displaced people might not be able to survive. Tens of millions of Americans faced quasi-polar temperatures last Wednesday and Thursday paralyzing life in the Midwest, killing at least 21 people. "No one wanted to live with them except for one hotel, Amber Inn, which allowed me to rent the rooms," Bain said. With help from the social networking platform after the young woman wrote about the situation of displaced persons, she managed to book about 60 rooms. "The cost was $ 70 per kilo plus a meal,&quo

Malala Yousafzai writes book about the survival stories and aspirations of refugee girls PAKISTANI ACTIVIST MALALA YOUSAFZAI (JAMIE MCCARTHY/GETTY IMAGES FOR BILL & MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION) Education activist and youngest ever Nobel Peace Prize winner, Malala Yousafzai, has written a new book highlighting the plight of young female refugees struggling to find safe havens, as many countries become increasingly hostile to asylum seekers. In 2009, Yousafzai was forced to flee her home country of Pakistan after she was shot in the head by the Taliban while riding a bus to school, aged 15. Appearing on CBS This Morning, Yousafzai, 21, said she hoped her new book, We Are Displaced: My Journey and Stories From Refugee Girls Around the World, would encourage people to look at refugees with empathy and compassion rather than fear and distrust. “Oftentimes when we hear about refugees we hear about them in figures and numbers. We hear about them, but we never hear from them. We never h

Grassroots campaign raises more than $100,000 in 2 days to release Indigenous women imprisoned for unpaid fines WITW STAFF01.09.19  (PHOTO BY LISA MAREE WILLIAMS/GETTY IMAGES) In Western Australia, a community-backed fundraiser has rapidly raised more than $100,000 to help free more than a hundred Indigenous women imprisoned by authorities for being unable to pay overdue fines.
