How do gendered beliefs impact reactions to terrorism? Masculine honor ideology and Neosexism are correlated with support for torture of suspected terrorists, but provoke differing emotional responses. See more in my paper with @conflictmanagement.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Legacies of Wartime Sexual Violence: Survivors, Psychological Harms, and Mobilization
Legacies of Wartime Sexual Violence: Survivors, Psychological Harms, and Mobilization By Summer Lindsey, Rutgers University and Carlo Koos, University of Bergen What are the psychological, social, and political legacies of sexual violence in armed conflicts? While conventional wisdom expects the exclusion of survivors from their societies due to stigma, we advance a theory of sociopolitical mobilization among wartime sexual violence survivors and their households.

Carter used the power of his post presidency to nearly eradicate guinea worm. There were 3.5 million cases when the Carter Center’s work began in 1986. He said in 2015 that he wanted to see “guinea worm completely eradicated before I die.” There’ve been 7 cases this year. www.npr.org/sections/goa...
npr.org
Jimmy Carter took on the awful Guinea worm when no one else would — and he triumphed
Carter targeted diseases primarily affecting the poor in remote areas — notably "Guinea worm disease." Because of his commitment, case numbers plummeted from 3.6 million a year to just 13 in 2022.
