Limit Arms Exports to Reduce Violence Against Women" Limit Arms Exports to Reduce Violence Against Women Rebecca Gerome: The availability of small arms increases sexual violence against women. Therefore, gender based violence needs to be central to international discussions on the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), and states must act to end impunity for armed violence against women. Marie was gang raped on 10 June 2010. “When you call [for help], people hear but they don’t come out to help when there are people with guns around,” she says. Between February 28 and March 4 2011, States gathered in New York for the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) Preparatory Committee. What impact do international transfers of conventional arms and ammunitions have on women’s lives? Marie’s story reveals the invisible impact of armed violence: its impact on women’s minds, bodies and freedom. There is a strong correlation between carrying small arms and notions of masculinity, considered to be traditional “gun-culture”. Yet the ATT is not enough.

Chart of the Day: Global Abortion Rates To mark the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade this week, the Guttmacher Institute has released some insightful data visualizations on abortion rates around the world. Turns out, the countries with the more liberal abortion laws actually have fewer abortions: Guttmacher reports that the rates were high—between 29 and 32 abortions per 1,000 women of childbearing age—in countries in Africa and Latin America, where most abortions are illegal. But the rate was much lower in Western Europe, where it's generally legal, averaging 12 per 1,000. And while we're on the subject, read our 2004 piece on life before Roe

Principles of War, by Carl von Clausewitz by Carl von Clausewitz Translated and edited by Hans W. Gatzke Copyright September 1942, The Military Service Publishing Company Introduction I. II. 1. 2. 3. 4. III. 1. 2. 3. IV. Notes by Christopher Bassford Before Clausewitz left Prussia in 1812 to join the Russian army and resist Napoleon, he prepared an essay on war to leave with the sixteen year-old Prussian Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm (later King Friedrich Wilhelm IV, r.1840-1858), whose military tutor he had become in 1810. The translation reproduced here was done by Hans Gatzke in 1942. Gatzke's brief introduction to Principles (which is omitted here) raises some doubt that Gatzke was really familiar with Clausewitz's more mature conceptions as expressed in On War. This particular work has rarely aroused any enthusiasm among Clausewitz's more theoretically-oriented students, since it fails to reflect many of the most important of its author's later and deeper insights.
