"Coup de gueule" utile je l'espère:

Bon à savoir: vous avez accès sous forme de fichier zip à toutes les données dont facebook dispose sur vous.

Facebook dispose de tout votre carnet d'adresses : mails et n° de téléphone, même si vous  n'avez jamais contacté ces personnes via facebook, ni autorisé l'accès de ces données à facebook, ni utilisé facebook avec votre smartphone. Facebook se sert : lorsque vous vous inscrivez, vous donnez une adresse mail, et si votre boîte contient un carnet d'adresses, c'est fichu. A vous de voir si vous souhaitez continuer!

(Pour les n° de téléphone, je n'ai toujours pas trouvé comment facebook se sert ! Je ne les ai jamais rentrés volontairement sur mon ordinateur,carnet d'adresses  ni sur mon téléphone, heureusement, ils sont très rarement associés à des noms, et ces numéros ne me disent rien du tout! )

Ah, j'oubliais: il y a toutes les adresses IP successives des ordinateurs que vous avez utilisés, et toutes les données des photos que vous avez mises en ligne: appareil, focale, date ...

Une dernière précision: lorsque vus quittez Facebook, votre compte est automatiquement réouvert au bout d'un certain temps, juste au cas à où vous auriez des regrets!

Vos messages effacés ne le sont pas : ils sont stockés à jamais.

On ne vous lâche jamais!

Claudette Colvin : the 15-year-old who came before Rosa Parks

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05z1929#sa-link_location=story-body&intlink_from_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.com%2Fnews%2Fstories-43171799&intlink_ts=1520761669110-sa

In March 1955, nine months before Rosa Parks defied segregation laws by refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on a bus, 15-year-old Claudette Colvin did exactly the same thing. Eclipsed by Parks, her act of defiance was largely ignored for many years. She herself didn't talk about it much, but she spoke recently to the BBC.

It's "Women's History Month."

This year's theme is

"Nevertheless...She Persisted." 

This issue highlights females who:

Blazed a path forward;

Defied the odds against them;

Disregarded their own well-being to help others;

  Rejected "no" as a standard answer for women/girls.

Who challenged this statement: "Women can't fly planes?"

Why did US flight schools reject female students?

How did Bessie Coleman "prove them wrong?"

Around the time that Bessie Coleman learned to fly, in France, another woman with the name of Coleman was helping WWI soldiers to live again.

Men who'd spent months in French trenches, during "The Great War," were at risk of sustaining massive facial injuries. People with disfiguring facial injuries are subject to psychological as well as physical trauma.

The effects of trench-related injuries caused survivors to recoil from public life. Many refused to return home because they didn't want their families to see their ravaged faces.

Anna Coleman Ladd, an American sculptor, decided to lessen the profound psychological damage sustained by these WWI soldiers. She traveled to Paris where she opened a shop which people called the "Tin Noses Shop." Her mission in life? Take a look.

How was Anna able to "give back life to them prayed for death?"

Watch a rare, 1918 video of Anna at work in her shop.

Many years later, another American woman tackled another impossibly difficult project.

When Erin Brockovich investigated why medical records were located in a real estate file, what did she find?

Erin wasn't a lawyer, but she didn't let that fact deter her investigation. With dogged focus, she kept digging. What she found "brought a small town to its feet and a huge company to its knees."

Talk about persisting ... Erin's efforts led to one of the largest-ever settlements in .S. history. The funds she and her colleagues collected were paid to individuals unknowingly exposed to dangerously high levels of a chemical known as "Chrome 6" (hexavalent chromium).

While women like Elizabeth Barrett Browning urged change with the power of their words, other women fueled change with the power of their photographs. Dorothea Lange and Marion Post Wolcott are two examples.

“Time is Now: Rural and urban activists transforming women’s lives”

http://www.unwomen.org/en/news/in-focus/international-womens-day

This year, International Women’s Day comes on the heels of unprecedented global movement for women’s rights, equality and justice. Sexual harassment, violence and discrimination against women has captured headlines and public discourse, propelled by a rising determination for change.

International Women’s Day 2018 is an opportunity to transform this momentum into action, to empower women in all settings, rural and urban, and celebrate the activists who are working relentlessly to claim women’s rights and realize their full potential.

Echoing the priority theme of the upcoming 62nd session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women, International Women’s Day will also draw attention to the rights and activism of rural women, who make up over a quarter of the world population and majority of the 43 per cent of women in the global agricultural labour force.

They till the lands and plant seeds to feed nations, ensure food security for their communities and build climate resilience. Yet, on almost every measure of development, because of deep seated gender inequalities and discrimination, rural women fare worse than rural men or urban women. For instance, less than 20 per cent of landholders worldwide are women, and while the global pay gap between men and women stand at 23 per cent, in rural areas, it can be as high as 40 per cent. They lack infrastructure and services, decent work and social protection, and are left more vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Rural women and their organizations represent an enormous potential, and they are on the move to claim their rights and improve their livelihoods and wellbeing. They are using innovative agricultural methods, setting up successful businesses and acquiring new skills, pursuing their legal entitlements and running for office.

On 8 March, join activists around the world and UN Women to seize the moment, celebrate, take action and transform women’s lives everywhere. The time is NOW.
