British Queen approves Brexit

Britain’s Queen Elizabeth granted royal assent to Prime Minister Theresa May’s flagship Brexit legislation today, ending months of debate over the legislation that will formally end the country’s European Union membership.
The House of Commons speaker John Bercow said the EU withdrawal bill, passed by both houses of parliament last week, has been signed into law by the monarch, to cheers from Conservative lawmakers.
The EU (Withdrawal) Bill repeals the 1972 European Communities Act through which Britain became a member, and transfers decades of European law onto British statute books in a bid to avoid any legal disruption.

What Football Teaches Us About Migration

Football is more than just a popular sport in many societies. Regardless of origin, social class or skin colour, if there is any sport that can give one a sense of identity and belonging, it is this one. It doesn’t matter if it is played with proper ball or a recycled bottle; when a player scores, everyone shouts “GOAL” with the same level of emotion!
Football is not only entertainment that moves the masses: it is a game that awakens passions and contrasts all around the world. The FIFA World Cup is the best example — for weeks the whole world turns its attention to the games. But we rarely think about the fact that the vast majority of players on the filed are migrants in their professional careers.
In the Mesoamerican region, the national teams of Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama are participating in the 2018 World Cup. Of the 69 players representing these three teams, 46 are migrants. FIFA 2017 statistics revealed that 55% of players belonged to a club outside their country of citizenship. More than 90% of the players of the national teams of Colombia, Belgium, Ireland, Sweden and Switzerland played for a club abroad and of the 100 best players in 2017, 72 were migrants.
Seeing the sport through this perspective can inform a more comprehensive and less stereotyped view of migration. Migration enriches our societies; soccer is an example of this. How many times have the Spaniards of Barcelona celebrated a goal thanks to an Argentine players? How many Costa Ricans questioned who scored in Brazil 2014 was born in Nicaragua? How many times has football helped us stop seeing labels
In spite of the fact that racism and xenophobia have taken place in soccer contexts, it’s better to think of it as a tool to unite and not an occasion to discriminate. As something that aids in integration of people and the creation of links with the communities, football is a platform for promoting human rights. Common interests and values can be shared through sport by encouraging intercultural dialogue and strengthening tolerance among players and fans.

Dear Sagar Media Inc, I owe you a big thank you!

Dear Sagar Media Inc,
I owe you a big thank you!
Every time you sign a petition on Change.org India, you empower ordinary citizens like me.
My name is Insia Dariwala and I am a survivor of child sexual abuse.
10 years. That’s how old I was when it first happened. Men who I had dearly trusted violated me.
Over the years, I met many more survivors. Including my husband.
That’s when it hit me hard: men too suffer child sexual abuse and NOBODY talks about it. Male child sexual abuse is a reality that many in India choose to ignore.
I had to do something.
So, I started a petition on Change.org India asking the government to conduct an in-depth study on the prevalence and impact of male child sexual abuse in India.
The response I received blew my mind. Over 1.2 Lakh people signed and shared my petition. My story was covered widely by the media.  
Sagar Media Inc, because of your support, the Women and Child Development Ministry promised a first-of-its-kind study on male survivors of child sexual abuse.
That’s not all – the Ministry has urged states and Union Territories to include male children in their victim compensation schemes and funds.
All this happened because of my petition on Change.org India and your consistent support!
I want to make sure that Change.org India can continue to empower people like me, for which your support is crucial.
Thank you once again,
Insia Dariwala
