Maggie Raworth is being hailed as the new voice of strength for women battling sexual harassment around the world. In a video making rounds on the internet, the 9News reporter in Australia flipped the script and took the high road when a stranger verbally abused her on live television while she was merely doing her job. Maggie responded in a manner that's earning her droves of fans for taking the high road.
Maggie Raworth and a camera crew had set up for a live remote outside of the Ballarat Court. The Australian reporter was on assignment to provide an update on a criminal case involving a pregnant woman who was found guilty of a fatal car crash on New Year's Eve that left a teen dead.
Raworth was reporting on the woman's eight-year sentence at the time when a man approached her and began lobbing verbal insults at her career choice and attacking journalists in general for providing fake news stories. Throughout the man's diatribe, Maggie remained unperturbed by the man's verbal onslaught.

Lowest of the low," the stranger says to Rawworth and her photographer.
"What’s your problem, sir? What have I personally done to you?" the reporter asks the man. He responded by admonishing her for working as a journalist and choosing to be a "lying piece of sh** for a living."
The man continues his attack by warning the Aussie journalist that she'll be unemployed in five years. He then focused his abusive comments on Raworth's body, saying she is "wrinkled up" and is "already getting fat."
At one point, Maggie retrieves her mobile phone from her dress pocket. Apparently, growing concerned for her welfare, Raworth points the device at the protesting man, as she explained.
"To be honest, I thought he would hit me so I wanted to capture

On August 23, 1980 in Conroe, Texas, is 40 miles north of Houston, a 16-year-old girl, Cheryl Fergeson, disappeared while searching for a women’s restroom at Conroe High School (Gores, 1991).

The two janitors were then taken to the hospital and made to give sperm, blood, and hair samples from their head
There are many women who are currently in an abusive relationship, or have been in an abusive relationship. The most common reason these women do not leave their abuser is because they are scared, financial, or family reasons. Amy McGee would be alive today to tell her own story if her situation was handled differently.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS Introduction: Throughout this discussion, I will debate and analyse the ideas I have collected from my research. My discussion is separated under sub headings which will allow me to form a better understanding of how capital punishment is viewed, which will help me in reaching a possible answer to my question. Firstly, I am going to be discussing two very well known case studies. Case studies: The two case studies I have picked to focus my research on are: Derek Bentley who was the last man executed in Britain along with Ruth Ellis who was the last woman executed in Britain.

According to the BBC, Charlotte Wyatt was an infant born three months premature in October 2003. This premature birth has caused complications including severe brain damage. The medical professionals caring for Charlotte acknowledged this, predicting that she would live no more than a few months, regardless of medical care. Charlotte remained living under hospital care as she received medical treatment, including things like constant oxygen supply, and at this point, she did not respond to stimulation but appeared to be suffering significant pain. She continued to outlive doctor’s predictions as these conditions continued for months.
Facing sexism and mistreatment at the hands of oppressive men is one of the biggest challenges a woman can face in contemporary and traditional societies. All challenges animate life, and we are given purpose when we deem it necessary to overcome said trials. Post-completion, life’s tests let us emerge with maturity and tenacity that we could not find elsewhere. Janie and Hester were dealt unfair hands in life, yet instead of folding and taking the easy way out, they played the game. They played, lost, and played again, and through this incessant perseverance grew exponentially as human beings.
In this research paper Amy Homan McGee’s case study of domestic violence will be discussed along with research done that signifies that police intervention alone does not produce adequate results for the prevention of intimate partner violence. A case study was chosen in order to specifically focus on one victim’s story and highlight the intervention methods rather than the criminal act itself. This approach was chosen in order to examine and analyze multiple methods of prevention and intervention tactics that may help future, or current victims of domestic violence. The methods and programs discussed, such as safety orders and community coordinated responses, may result in women receiving sufficient assistance.

“Ok!” I answered. I hated delivering the newspapers. Every Time I did I would get on my rusty old bike and deliver newspapers and sometimes it would break and then I would have to fix it. But each time before I would deliver I would skim through the paper and see if there is anything interesting. I saw this one thing and it was very interesting it was about conflict everywhere. When
Mary’s father locks her in a room full of rats. Dr. Jekyll has been the good side where as his double is Mr. Hyde that creates all of the violence. Mr. Hyde haunts Mary as an adult by biting her neck. When Hyde bites her neck, Mary reacts with the same plea she made with her father. The quote was “Please sir, do not do this” (6). Another aspect is that Mary calls Dr. Jekyll “The Master”. Dr. Jekyll is always in charge of Mary even though in the novel it doesn’t say it, but as the reader, I could infer that he was a Master and in control of Mary whereas also Mary’s father could be referred to as “The Master”. My reasoning behind this is that Mary’s Father was very violent and abuse to Mary and was in charge of her as a child.
The world of Stephen Crane’s novel, Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, is a dark, violent place. People curse one another openly and instigate fights over petty issues. The intense poverty of the populace leads to a feeling of general despair and creates a lack of self-confidence in each individual. People want to feel that they mean something. They want to know that their life does not go unnoticed. They desire power over others lives. The poor, who are constantly controlled by the rich, yearn for the opportunity to control their world. In a typical society these urges would be satisfied by successful careers and families but in the torn and impoverished world of Maggie people gain power and control only through violence and the moral desecration of others. This thesis will be shown through the fighting amongst the children, the violence of the household, and the family’s treatment of Maggie’s death.

Abstract This paper provides a historical overview of the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics (OBN), tracing its evolution from its inception in 1953 to its present-day operations. Established initially as the Division of Narcotics Enforcement under the Oklahoma Attorney General's office, the organization underwent several transformations to adapt to the changing landscape of drug enforcement. Over the years, legislative initiatives such as the Uniform Control Substances Act of 1971 further shaped the structure and responsibilities of the agency, leading to the creation of the Office of the Commissioner of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control. Despite these efforts, the persistence and evolution of drug threats necessitated the establishment of
Although, as Mitchell mentions there is the exclusion of the narrative from women that aren’t as eloquent as McKenzie, it is a platform that challenges mainstream media all the same. BGD embodies the criteria of an effective feminist media in that it relays educated solutions to real-life problems. It publishes articles and podcasts that covey important factors often neglected by mainstream media outlets. The BGD podcast on the Holtzclaw case looks at the story from a more historic perspective. Speaking about the case is N’jaila who of mixed ancestry and a sex worker advocate.
