We are looking for pictures of The Stonewall riots. They were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the gay community against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City.

The Rohingya people are a stateless Indo-Aryan ethnic group who reside in Rakhine State, Myanmar. There were an estimated 1 million Rohingya living in Myanmar before the 2016–17 crisis. One million Rohingya Muslims escaped from Myanmar, each with their own harsh story to tell. The majority are Muslim while a minority are Buddhist. Described by the United Nations as one of the most persecuted minorities in the world. The story is repeated over and over in the narratives from the Rohingya women in the camp: the army burned the homes and killed their family members. The soldiers raped them as they fled from their homes in the region of Rakhine and across the border to Bangladesh. In late 2018, a United Nations-mandated fact finding mission found that the military abuses committed in Kachin, Rakhine, and Shan states since 2011 “undoubtedly amount to the gravest crimes under international law,” and called for senior military officials to face investigation and prosecution for genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. The genocide is not over and the trauma it has caused will mark the survivors for the rest of their lives
For the past decade, the Gaza Strip has suffered from a chronic electricity deficit, an ongoing and growing electricity crisis faced by nearly two million citizens of the Gaza Strip, with regular power supply being provided only for a few hours a day on a rolling blackout schedule. The situation has further deteriorated since April 2017 in the context of disputes between the de facto authorities in Gaza and the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority. The functionality of Gaza’s 14 public hospitals is increasingly jeopardized by electricity shortages and the rapidly declining UN coordinated fuel reserves required to run emergency generators during prolonged electricity cuts. With the blockade now in its eleventh year, the occupied Palestinian Territory now suffers the highest unemployment rate in the world, with incomes and agricultural production going down, the United Nations trade and development agency stated, noting that women and young people were worst affected. The enduring deprivation of basic economic, social and human rights inflicts a heavy toll on Gaza’s psychological and social fabric, as manifested by the widespread incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder and high suicide rates,” the UN reported, noting that in 2017, 225,000 children, more than 10 per cent of the total population, required psychological support.
