One girl did not like being groped so she spit at her assailant. He shot her dead but started a movement by woman that will no longer tolerate sexual harassment; Palestinian farmers turn to organic farming; the Saudi Man's Bisht and a song to stop honor killings.
Women in Egypt are not going to put up with being harassed, even if it costs them their lives.

How surprise gesture secured Sabra's victory
Sabra, for many, is not just a member of an opposition bloc. He is also a struggler. A long-time opponent of Assad rule, he was jailed for eight years and detained twice after the uprising erupted in March last year. Since Sabra is a Christian, the SNC tried to work around the bylaws and offer him a seat in the secretariat as part of a minority groups' quota.
