Denney L, Ibrahim AF. Violence against women in Sierra Leone: How women seek redress. Overseas Development Institute; 2012. Publisher's VersionAbstract
http://www.odi.org/publications/7184-violence-against-women-sierra-leone...
This paper presents the findings of a short case study in Sierra Leone considering violence against women.
An objective of the study is to contribute to an emerging body of research on the merits of using political economy analysis to reflect on the kinds of factors policymakers and practitioners should consider in developing interventions to address particular policy problems.
Against this background, this study focuses principally on understanding the nature of the problem of VAW, and then works up through the different options women may (or may not) have for seeking redress along the justice chains in Sierra Leone.

Domestic violence knows no boundaries, and many of the stories and findings included in this report could describe the experiences of women in virtually any country. Too often, women's subordinate status allows violence to occur in silence and prevents women from seizing opportunities. For this report, the IRC has chosen to focus on West Africa in order to demonstrate how this global problem becomes acute in post-conflict countries, keeping women from leading their societies to peace and prosperity. The destruction of war creates a particularly dangerous situation for women that the humanitarian community can no longer ignore.
"We'll kill you if you cry" - Sexual Violence in the Sierra Leone Conflict. Washington, DC: Human Rights Watch; 2003. Publisher's VersionAbstract
https://www.hrw.org/report/2003/01/16/well-kill-you-if-you-cry/sexual-vi...
Throughout the armed conflict in Sierra Leone from 1991 to 2001, thousands of women and girls of all ages, ethnic groups, and socioeconomic classes were subjected to widespread and systematic sexual violence, including individual and gang rape, and rape with objects such as weapons, firewood, umbrellas, and pestles. Rape was perpetrated by both sides, but mostly by the rebel forces. These crimes of sexual violence were generally characterized by extraordinary brutality and frequently preceded or followed by other egregious human rights abuses against the victim, her family, and her community. Although the rebels raped indiscriminately irrespective of age, they targeted young women and girls whom they thought were virgins. Many of these younger victims did not survive these crimes of sexual violence. Adult women were also raped so violently that they sometimes bled to death or suffered from tearing in the genital area, causing long-term incontinence and severe infections. Many victims who were pregnant at the time of rape miscarried as a result of the sexual violence they were subjected to, and numerous women had their babies torn out of their uterus as rebels placed bets on the sex of the unborn child.

War-Related Sexual Violence in Sierra Leone. Boston: Physicians for Human Rights; 2002. Publisher's VersionAbstract
http://physiciansforhumanrights.org/library/reports/war-related-sexual-v...
Sierra Leone's decade-long conflict of the 1990s and onward was marked by an extraordinary level of brutal human rights abuses, including summary killings, sexual violence against women and girls, abductions, amputations, and the use of child soldiers.
The combined effects of prolonged conflict, pervasive human rights abuses, and massive forced migration in one of the poorest countries in the world, devastated the health and well-being of the Sierra Leonean people. The daunting process of rebuilding and reconciliation in the aftermath of such destruction requires the establishment of an accurate account of the nature and extent of abuses that were committed.

Both your races looked tough. Way to go! What are your pre-race go-to meals, whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner? Is it exact same every time or do you change it up depending on what you feel like?
"Both your races looked tough. Way to go! What are your pre-race go-to meals, whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner? Is it exact same every time or do you change it up depending on what you feel like?"
It depends on the time of the race! I try to eat a solid meal 4 hours before--usually a bit pasta with some protein, either chicken or fish and some fruit. Sometimes I do a sandwich instead of pasta. Breakfasts vary; if it's an early race, I'll go with the classic peanut butter bagel + banana, if it's a later race I tend to go heavier on protein with eggs+toast. Dinner is similar to lunch. Hope this helps!

Looking for Drug Rehab and treatment centers in Clifton, Virginia?
There are many drug and alcohol rehab centers options available to folks residing in the Clifton area. You should understand each of the types of rehabilitation options that are offered in Clifton, AB., so that you can pick the ideal treatment approach for yourself or someone you care about. Selecting the most appropriate alcohol and drug rehabilitation program in Clifton is the central element in the treatment of drug abuse, addiction and alcoholism. The following information will assist you to recognize your various treatment possibilities allowing you to have the greatest chance of a successful final result.
Let's examine the different alcohol and drug treatment centers in Clifton, Virginia possibilities that correlate with the circumstances of the individual seeking rehabilitation.
Inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Clifton, AB. is a treatment choice ideal for those who will need health-related intervention for the duration of rehab or clients with substantial drug use histories. Women and men can develop both mental and physical dependence to drugs even after a brief amount of time, so inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Clifton is regarded as the most beneficial treatment possibility in the majority of cases. On account of dependence and addiction, women and men will frequently not be able to recover with the minimal solutions made available from outpatient rehab facilities in Clifton, Virginia where drugs and alcohol are still easily obtainable when they leave the outpatient facility. Likewise, individuals in rehab who receive outpatient treatment as opposed to inpatient alcohol and drug treatment in Clifton continue to be vulnerable to negative influences and circumstances which may get in the way of their process of recovery. If a person resides with an abusive companion or maintains relationships which involve substance abuse, any rehabilitation endeavours in outpatient rehabilitation are done in vain. This is why in-patient drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Clifton, AB. will most certainly generate more tangible results that will prove long lasting unlike an outpatient alcohol and drug rehab program where benefits are often very limited and acute.
In Clifton there is both short-term and long-term inpatient drug treatment. Short-term is a 30-day facility, while long-term inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Clifton, Virginia is much more in depth and rehabilitation can last 90-120 days generally speaking. It becomes an ideal environment for clients because it is a safe and secure drug-free environment where they're able to heal both physically and mentally without distraction. Ideally, men and women proceed in the long-term in-patient drug and alcohol treatment facility in Clifton for the maximum period of time allowed, in order to handle anything which can cut across their sobriety once they depart treatment. Because of the fact that detoxing and becoming physically stabilized can require 2-3 weeks by itself, the 3-6 months in long-term in-patient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Clifton will be time well spent and significantly more effective than short-term centers.
The most important component of all if you or someone you love is struggling with a drug abuse or addiction issue is to do something about it, call someone and seek advice from trained addiction professionals and have an evaluation and rehabilitation possibilities to ensure the biggest chance for a recovery.
