30 March 2019 — While male circumcision is spread mainly among Muslim and Jews communities, and it is apparently accepted by some medical spheres, more than 200 million child-girls have already fallen prey to a dangerous practice, which is carried out in the name of traditions or even religions: Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).

Such a human rights violation is not legally typified as a “crime”. Furthermore, it is far from being stopped—in fact some 70 million more girls are right now at risk of being mutilated by the year 2030.

28 February 2019 (Wall Street International)* — Do not panic! This is not about telling you how bank accounts and pension funds have been used to finance the production of nuclear bombs (they call it ‘investment’).
Nor it is about the four dozens of major and minor wars that the so-called “traditional weapons,” which are being manufactured and exported by civilised, democratic countries, continue to systematically fuel.

22 March 2018 (Wall Street International)* — A new alarm has been now sounded, this time on the occasion of the World Water Day marked on 22 March.
It is about the proven fact that climate change has been steadily aggravating an already on-going water crisis, its scarcity and the deterioration of its quality, this further leading to more poverty and more famine and thus more conflicts and more migration, a crisis that the world has flagrantly failed to address.

Half of All Fruit and Vegetables Discarded for Their ‘Look’
21 March 2018 (Wall Street International)* — Many of us are seriously worried about the environment, following the bad news about its steady degradation and talking about it with our families, colleagues and friends. And many are willing to do something to help but feel powerless.
.
Look: there is an easy, very easy way how to prevent the further deterioration of the environment and help combat climate change. As easy as buying and eating “ugly” fruit and vegetables, just to start with.
How come?

15 March 2018 (Wall Street International)* — Apologies once more for further annoying you with real facts of life, this time to explain that at least 1 in 2 of our “Planet-mates” human beings do not know what basic health services are all about.
And the fact is that, while politicians in the richest countries appear to be heavily engaged in forcing their tax-payers to forget about public health and pensions funds and to instead shift to the private sector to try to obtain these basic services they have already paid for, more than half of all humans are lacking access to such an essential right.

8 March 2018 (Wall Street International)* — While women worldwide have organised massive demonstrations to claim for their due legitimate rights on the occasion of the International Women’s Day tens of thousands of women and girls are “silenced” victims of sexual violations and all kinds of abuses without being protagonists in the news.

This is the dramatic case of indigenous women.
While totalling over 370 million self-recognised indigenous peoples, and in spite of the very fact that their lands guard 80 per cent of the world’s biodiversity, the original inhabitants of planet Earth, in particular women and girls, have been systematically falling victims of natural resources and land grabbers.

DAYLESFORD, Australia, 22 February, 2018 — Is Earth the largest garbage dump in the Universe? I don’t know. But it’s a safe bet that Earth would be a contender were such a competition to be held. Let me explain why.

.To start, just listing the types of rubbish generated by humans or the locations into which each of these is dumped is a staggering task beyond the scope of one article.

22 February 2018 — Toward Freedom* — As the global demand for fossil fuels rises and the Arctic sea ice continues to melt, multinational corporations and governments are deepening efforts to expand oil exploration and trade routes in the region. While corporations see a profit, environmentalists see a crisis.
Merely a couple of years after a Greenpeace-led global campaign managed to prevent the oil company Shell from drilling in the Northern Pole, the world’s two nations most responsible for global warming – China and the US – have announced plans that will further accelerate the agony of the Arctic.

20 February 2018 (Wall Street International)* — The issue is tough, very tough. It is about the good, the bad and the ugly of the use – and misuse – that humans make of Internet.
.
.
.
On the one hand, users find quick answers from what you may call “Saint Google” or “Santa Wikipedia”. On the other, Internet is being glowingly misused and abused for steeling private information, bullying, sexual exploitation and even human trafficking.
And the issue has just jumped to the news again now that the United Nations informs that every half a second, every day, a child goes online for the first time – tapping into all the great opportunities the Internet has to offer, but facing grave risks.
