The boxing day
tsunami in Asia is
said to
have killed 3
times (3/4 of the way down the page) more women than
men.
"Many of the losses are being tied to gender roles and
styles--such as women's long hair, confining saris, extreme sense of
modesty and selfless commitment to husbands and children--that
hindered their ability to escape."
There have been
repo
rts of abuse (cache) and forced marriages in Refugee Camps as a consequence. Oxfam briefing note (.pdf) and summary.

Rumsfeld Bans Camera Phones In Iraq...
Or Not
Rumsfeld Bans Camera Phones In Iraq...
Or Not
05/24/2004 06:02 AMJust as a number of news stories have come out over the past few weeks
talking about how technologies like camera phones have changed the way
war is perceived in ways that those running the war in Iraq simply
didn't expect, comes the completely unsurprising news that Donald
Rumsfeld has responded to the various photographs of Iraqi prisoner
abuse by
banning camera phones at military bases in Iraq. Now, no
matter what your politics are, or however you feel about the situation
in Iraq, (and as unsurprising as this is) this seems like a
particularly pointless move. First of all, I'm sure taking camera
phone photos within a military prison environment was already very
much against the rules before this happened. However, it still
happened. All this does is ban a technology, not an action. Second,
and more importantly, this doesn't seem like what you do when you're
trying to put a stop to whatever caused the prisoner abuse to happen
in the first place - it's an action to prevent more such "bad
publicity" from getting out there. It's the typical reaction to
technology when it's used against you: ban the technology that
unveiled something embarrassing, rather than trying to stop whatever
was the real cause of the embarrassment. That, alone, is an
embarrassment. For someone so focused on using technology for
military purposes, to then go and assume that technology is only okay
when he controls it shows a particular lack of understanding about how
technology works. Technology empowers everyone - and those who assume
it only empowers their side show a particular lack of foresight.
Update:
Engadget
points us to a story from a few weeks ago at
TheDailyFarce, which looks somewhat
similar - raising the question as to whether or not this is yet
another case where
media
sources were taken in by farcical online stories.
