"Half the Sky" - Nicholas D. Kristof a Sheryl WuDunn
Doporucuju, nic podobneho jsem necetl, "Bez dcerky neodejdu" je slabej odvar...
Nevim, jestli vysla i v CZ, ale je to neuveritelna kompilace zenskych osudu z celeho sveta (Kambodza, Indie, Afganistan, Thajsko, Pakistan, africke zeme) ctu ji tady v Africe a na nekterych mistech jsem byl, kdyz si clovek uvedomi, ze pulka zen co jsem videl byla s nejvetsi pravdepodobnosti znasilnena (neplest s "nasim" znasilnenim, jakkoliv je hrozne... tady mluvime o hromadnem znasilneni casto pred ostatnimi prislusniky, urezanim prsou, usi ci nosu a prorazeni rekta a vaginy drevenym kulem nebo vystreleni z AK47, jen tak pro pobaveni a decimovani ostatnich)...
Kdyz se s nima bavite, prijde jim perfektne normalni, aby nechali znasilnit zenu, protoze jeho by zabili, takze papa sedi doma, pripadne utece, zena s detma je znasilnena, poskozena (krvaci a nasledne ji vyteka stolice s moci porad ven) a protoze zapacha, vyhodi ji vesnice v lepsim pripade na okraj, v horsim pojde v blizke busi... autor popisuje zenu, ktera takto zila 2 roky ve srackach, nez ji rodina za cenu prodani veskereho majetku dopravila do nemocnice...
Pulitzer Prize-winning reporting team, husband and wife Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, take us on a journey through Africa and Asia to meet an extraordinary array of exceptional women struggling against terrible circumstances. More girls have been killed in the last fifty years, precisely because they are girls, than men were killed in all the wars of the twentieth century combined. More girls are killed in this routine \'gendercide\' in any one decade than people were slaughtered in all the genocides of the twentieth century. In the nineteenth century, the central moral challenge was slavery. In the twentieth, it was totalitarianism. In the twenty-first, Kristof and WuDunn demonstrate, it will be the struggle for gender equality in the developing world. Fierce, moral, pragmatic, full of amazing stories of courage and inspiration, HALF THE SKY is essential reading for every global citizen.
