The Advisers (Friendship series) Acrylic on canvas 5ft x 5ft 2019 "Cut your coat according to your size". Really!  Who do you take advice from...a friend or foe? We as a set of people or nation, are so precarious and confounding that only those that have the depth and nous are able to define it or help others decipher and understand it.

Stories from our backyard, but sometimes it takes a foreigner to report them:

The Indian village where child sexual exploitation is the norm - Girls in Sagar Gram, which lies next to a highway, are groomed for this life virtually from birth.

What would make a woman go back to Boko Haram? 

reporter-Azadeh Moaveni

Zahra and Amina say that when they were with the militants, life was harsh and uncertain, but they had enough to eat. As voluntary wives of fighters, they were protected from sexual predation. They attended religion classes, the first formal schooling many had ever received, and their children went to school, learning literacy and religion. There were courts where women could report abusive husbands. In contrast, in their now emancipated lives in the camp, they often go hungry. There is little chance to work to buy more food, and shortages have contributed to sexual exploitation by the security forces who guard them. “Most Boko Haram women regret coming here, because life is just so hard,” says Amina.
