And they had the game's first chance, gifted to Mathilde Bourdieu after Chelsea had given the ball away inside their own half, but the striker's effort was straight at Berger. I knew from the newspaper when they published the names. I am really happy, but I will not believe it until I see it. We prepared her room for her. I can’t wait for her to be home.”

I wanted my players to come here and give a good account of ourselves. I think we did give a good account of ourselves. We created some chances. On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, we express our deepest concern about violence against women and girls, including in conflict situations. We continue to condemn in the strongest possible terms Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified war of aggression against Ukraine and all violations of international human rights law. Its editor is the intrepid Jenny Tough, a Canadian mountaineering expert who notes in her introduction that “the outdoor industry is actually fully of women, but when it comes to the highest level of media…the demographic dwindles to one”. Fortunately, this sexist state of affairs could be on the verge of changing - through giving voice to the “badass outdoorswomen” who here tell their extraordinary stories, this book might just change that narrow narrative and inspire new generations of female adventuresses. Paris created several dangerous chances and had levelled after 38 minutes through Thea Greboval's header.

Hamas had previously released four hostages unilaterally: Judith Tai Raanan and her 17-year-old daughter, Natalie Raanan, a woman and daughter with dual Israeli-US citizenship, on 20 October, followed by two elderly Israeli women, Yocheved Lifshitz and Nurit Yitzhak, on 23 October. One soldier, a 19-year-old, was rescued by Israeli forces.

Families across Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories endured a tense day before it emerged that the pause in hostilities was holding, and the hostage releases could begin. The families of the first group of 13 Israeli children and elderly women to be released were told by Israeli authorities to gather at a hospital complex before their loved ones’ expected arrival, where they were reunited after seven weeks apart with almost no news or signs of life. About 1,200 Israelis were killed and 240 taken hostage by Hamas on 7 October, after which Israel declared a war on the Palestinian militant group. More than 14,800 people have been killed in intensive bombings and an unprecedented ground operations, according to the local health ministry. Chelsea's sloppiness in possession appeared to frustrate manager Hayes, particularly in the first half, but the hosts improved as the match wore on and were boosted by the introduction of substitute Fran Kirby. The deal on prisoner releases has shone a light on Israeli detention and sentencing practices in the Palestinian territories, where Palestinians are tried in military courts with a more than 98% conviction rate and in which minors are regularly imprisoned.

After weeks of frantic diplomatic efforts – brokered by Qatar, Egypt and the US – Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian group in control of Gaza, agreed a four-day ceasefire that went into effect on Friday at 7am (5am GMT), 24 hours later than originally planned. But the Blues did not start with the same fluidity on Thursday against a well-organised, high-pressing Paris side. The ever-dependable Kerr was on Kirby's wavelength and put away her chances to seal the win, before Ingle's well-taken strike from a corner capped the win.For Najah Awad, 43, the wait continues. Her daughter, now 24, was sentenced to 13 years for stabbing an Israeli passerby in Jerusalem in 2015. The ceasefire deal includes a clause stipulating that after the initial four-day ceasefire, there will be an additional day in which fighting is paused, up to a total of 10 days. For every 10 Gaza hostages that come home safely, three times as many Palestinians in Israeli jails will be released. United Nations independent experts have noted that rape remains one of the least reported and prosecuted crimes globally, in part due to criminal justice systems’persistent use of definitions based on the use of force. They have unequivocally called for absence of consent as the “global standard” for defining rape. In using violence or the threat of violence by perpetrators or demonstration of resistance to the use of force by victims as criteria for determining an act of rape, criminal justice systems ignore other well-documented methods of coercion as well as widely varied behavioral responseto rape. Such legislation perpetuates harmful myths about what constitutes rape, how a victim “should” respond, and what acts of sexual violence merit accountability.

We stand ready to provide additional comments or information to the Ministry if need be. Violence against women, including femicide and domestic violence, persists in all parts of the world. Despite the EU aiming to lead by example on gender equality, some 22 percent of women in the EU have experienced intimate partner violence. More than 3.000 women are killed each year in Europe by their partners or family members and countless more are hurt and harassed. Violence against women and girls is a serious human rights violation and abuse.Noorhan was only 16 years old when she was arrested. Now she is 24, and we haven’t been able to visit her since the war started, we have had no news,” Awad said. What does toughness mean to you? Perhaps it's being physically fit and mentally resilient. Perhaps it's doing something no one else has done before. Perhaps it's breaking down boundaries and proving what you can do, in spite of the naysayers. Perhaps it's travelling alone, immersing yourself in new cultures and meeting new people. Perhaps it's running ultramarathons in the blistering heat and beating the competition. Perhaps it's conquering your fears. The visitors - debutants in the group stages - had already shown their pedigree with victories over Arsenal and last season's runners-up Wolfsburg in the qualifying rounds. As you are aware, trialogues are currently underway regarding the EU Directive on combating violence against women and domestic violence. We note France’s leadership role within the EU, as well as on the rights of women and girls, notably through its Feminist Diplomacyand plans to enshrine the right to abortion in its constitution.
