Physical health consequences incl. injuries, disabilities and gastro-intestinal disorders bit.ly/3j1O82N Image
Child maltreatment is widespread worldwide, but stigma, shame, or fear of repercussions (such as risk of further harm) mean that many survivors never talk about it bit.ly/3j1O82N Image

Thread: Die Fälle von häuslicher Gewalt sind seit der Pandemie weltweit um ein Drittel gestiegen. Quarantäne bedeutet für viele Menschen in einem Raum zusammen mit einem potenziellen Täter isoliert zu sein. Diese zunehmende Statistik in fast allen Ländern der Welt zu beobachten.
In vielen Ländern wurde der Lockdown ausgerufen, um die massive Ausbreitung des neuen Coronavirus zu bekämpfen. Isolation ist wissenschaftlich mit Stress, Angst und verschlechterter psychischer Gesundheit verbunden, was die bestehende Konfliktsituationen noch verstärkt.
In Frankreich beispielsweise stiegen die Berichte über häusliche Gewalt um 30 %, in Argentinien um 25 %, in Singapur um 33 %. Außerdem wurden vermehrt Fälle von häuslicher Gewalt in Kanada, Deutschland, Spanien, dem Vereinigten Königreich und den Vereinigten Staaten gemeldet.

I’ve thought about, fought against, and written a lot on radicalization, applying Eric Hoffer’s theory on mass movements to Radical Islam. My article “The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements” lays out some of this. usacac.army.mil/CAC2/MilitaryR…
Hoffer covers a lot of terrain in his analysis. Two parts apply most strongly to modern day radicalism: his discussion of why mass movements have appeal and his analysis of the traits most likely to produce converts to a mass movement.
Hoffer proposes it is neither the abject poor, nor the sated middle class, nor the wealthy who are most likely attracted to mass movements. Instead, it is the newly poor, or those who feel they have lost status, prestige, or were promised such things, who are most susceptible.

I would like to bring your attention to the horrifying realities that lurk beneath the surface of the k-pop industry.

Here are the translations of what was reported in the Korean news media:

There are empirical evidences of abuses on Lee Seukchul's body (bruises on his body & blood stains on his head). He opened a conference and stated that he was physically abused by the company's producer for 4 years +
Lee Seukchul: The reason for abuse wasn't due to a big mistake. When i made a mistake or got lost during practice, the producer would wire my neck with the guitar strings and suffocate me by pulling it.
