Children born as the result of wartime rape may be identified with the enemy. They grow up stigmatized and excluded by their communities. They may be denied basic rights or even killed before reaching adulthood. Children are particularly at risk for such abuse when they are visibly identifiable as sharing half their ethnicity with the occupying forces, as in the case of half-Arab children of Darfuri women raped by janjaweed soldiers as part of the war in Darfur. Children of war rape are also at risk due to neglect by traumatized mothers unable to provide sufficient care.

Hector Pieterson
Hector Pieterson (19 August 1963 - 16 June 1976) was a Black South African activist. He was shot and killed by police firing directly at him. He protested against laws requiring the Afrikaans and English language to be taught in majority-Black primary and secondary schools together with other Black students.
He, and other Black students, were reminded of their Dutch colonial oppressors by Afrikaans. Besides, they wanted to learn Xhosa and Zulu like other Black children.
His death was recorded by photographer Sam Nzima on 16 June 1976. This image was flashed worldwide and represented the resistance against apartheid. 16 June is now commemorated as Youth Day in South Africa.
Hector Pieterson was born on 19 August 1963 in Soweto, South Africa to Vivian Pieterson and Dorothy Molefi. He was the only boy in the family. He had one sister, Lulu Pieterson, and four stepsisters, including Antoinette Sithole and Sina Molefi.
In 1974, the South African government passed the Afrikaans Medium Decree. This policy forced all Black higher primary and secondary schools in Soweto to use Afrikaans and English for all subjects except music, physical education and religious instruction. They viewed Afrikaans as the language of their racist oppressors. Besides, the students were not fluent in (could not speak or understand) Afrikaans, so their grades dropped significantly.
As a result, Sithole, Pieterson and about 20000 other secondary school students decided secretly to revolt against the policy. They wrote slogans, made signboards and sang protest songs. They marched through the streets to Orlando Stadium for a rally. Teachers and parents later joined the revolt.
The students sang, waving signboards saying "Down with Afrikaans", "To Hell with Afrikaans" and "Viva Azania".
They recited a forbidden poem, Nkosi Sikele iAfrica, which is now South Africa's national anthem. This established the protest as a rebellion and made the police retaliate by taking drastic action.
The team was blocked. Stones filled the air. Tear gas burst out. Bullets began to fly. And Pieterson's body lay lifeless on the ground. Mbuyisa Makhubo, a high school graduate, picked up the boy and ran to the nearest clinic. It was too late - Pieterson was already dead before he got there. He, together with Hastings Ndlovu, was the first Black protester shot and killed by the police in the Soweto Uprising.
An image, taken by Sam Nzima, showed Pieterson's dead body carried by Makhubo with sister Sithole nearby. It
became the iconic image of the 1976 Soweto Uprising, spreading around the world. His tragic death symbolised the brutality of apartheid, catalysing (speeding up) resistance movements and forging solidarity (stronger bonds) between its members.
In 1992, the Hector Pieterson Museum was created to commemorate the fight of Pieterson and other students against the apartheid in South Africa. The museum opened in 2002 and can be found on Khumalo Street in Orlando West. It has a Pieterson memorial and has a garden of remembrance of with the names of all who were killed in the uprising, including Pieterson, written on bricks.

Hector Pieterson Museum
The Hector Pieterson Museum is a museum on 8288 Khumalo Street, Orlando West, South Africa. The museum is named after one of the first deaths, Hector Pieterson. It commemorates all who marched against forced use of Afrikaans, and were shot at, in the 1976 Soweto uprising on 16 June, now known as Youth Day. The memorial and museum officially opened in 2002 to commemorate the 26th anniversary of the uprising.
The red brick building is two storeys high and has the Hector Pieterson Memorial on its grounds. The memorial showcases Sam Nzima's famous photograph with Mbuyisa Makhubo carrying Pieterson's dead body with sister Antoinette Sithole crying beside him. It is also housed in a circular building that looks like a traditional African hut with a thatched roof. The entrance of the museum is, appropriately enough, marked by a large statue of Pieterson.
Inside the museum are videos and recordings contrasting life in Black-majority Soweto and in White-majority areas. There are also many iconic photographs by Nzima and Dr. Peter Magubane and strategically placed windows showing iconic scenes like the rally at Orlando Stadium. Also featured is the memorial wall, where visitors can leave messages for the heroes of the anti-apartheid resistance who sacrificed their lives for freedom.
Another attraction is the garden of remembrance - a courtyard full of loose bricks with inscribed names. Each is the name of somebody who has died on, or because of, the 1976 Soweto Uprising.
Pieterson's sister, Sithole, now works at the museum as a knowledgeable tour guide.
On August 8 2022, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited the museum. He was accompanied by his tour guide Sithole and said that Pieterson's story was heartbreakingly familiar as the United States faced similar struggles with racial equity to the news media. The museum and memorial have also been included in many Soweto tours and are among South Africa's top tourist attractions.

He can be called the youngest activist fighting for human rights in Azerbaijan.
Ali Malikov was born on April 4, 2005 in Baku. Studied and graduated from school No. 244 in 2011-2022. Already in high school, he began his struggle against the conservative views of society, which limited his freedom.
Ali was afraid to even step into the school hallway, feeling unsafe. According to him, his peers tried to physically abuse him everywhere. Because of his sexuality, teachers tore up his notebooks and insulted him. Although he complained to the school principal many times, the school principal ignored the matter. A psychologist from the School Friend project was brought in for Ali. But the specialist only advised him not to pay attention to what happened. But Ali did not want to put up with the bullying of his peers, as well as teachers. According to him, the Russian language teacher at school showed his photographs to students, telling them that Ali was gay and that he was spoiling the image of the school and education
The school director, in response to all these tortures, advised Ali not to come to school in the 11th grade and not to worry about the certificate, that he would receive a certificate without attending school. But Ali told BBC News that his goal in highlighting bullying is not just for himself, but for all students who experience violence and bullying. Failure to attend school is already a restriction of the right to education.

A molar pregnacy is an abnormal pregnancy. A woman can be pregnant with a complete mole or partial mole. Complete mole means only mole and no fetus. Partial mole means mole and fetus.
Complete mole happens when empty ovum (meaning it has no DNA) is fertilized by 2 sperms, or one sperm that copies itself. The result is 46XX or 46XY (only DNA of father).
A partial mole happens when normal ovum (with DNA) is fertilised by 2 sperms. The result is 69 chromosomes. 69XXX or 69XXY. But even if there is fetus, it will not survive, because its DNA is abnormal. It will have many abnormalities in its body, it will be malformed. It is very common that the partial mole is spontanoeusly aborted in 1st trimester.
So what is mole? It is tumour from the cells that form the placenta. It looks like a bunch of grapes or balloons. And on Ultrasound complete mole will look like snowstorm because you will see the balloons and blood in between them, and no baby is seen.
Those increased placenta cells make too much of a hormone called HCG. The HCG will cause cysts on the ovaries. Those cysts will go away on their own after the mole goes away or is treated. So the cysts are not removed.
The woman may bleed early in the pregnancy because her placenta is abnormal and a vesicle (one of those grapes or balloons structures) fell. She might have pain and a spontaneous abortion.
Her Uterus is likely to be bigger than normal for the duration of pregnancy because there is an abnormal growth. She might vomit excessively because her HCG is higher than normal.
When she does a serum HCG test measuring the level of HCG in her blood, it will be found to be so high, >100,000 in the first 8 weeks.
Molar pregnancy can turn into malignant mole that spreads to lungs, and other organs such as kidneys spleen liver brain and bone marrow.
The Brahmic scripts are a group of writing systems that started in South Asia. It belongs to the Abugida script family. They are used all over the subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia. These scripts come from the Brahmi script, which began in the Indus Valley region in present-day Pakistan. Many languages in South and Southeast Asia use these scripts, and they belong to different language families.
Brahmic scripts came from the Brahmi script, which is believed to have started in the Indus Valley region around the 3rd century BCE from Aramaic, but some believe it developed from the Harappan script of Indus valley civilization. They are divided into Northern and Southern Brahmic scripts. The Northern Brahmic scripts led to the Gupta script during the Gupta period, which later developed into various cursive scripts in the medieval period. Examples include Nagari, Siddham, and Sharada scripts.
Southern Brahmi evolved into Kadamba, Pallava, and Vatteluttu scripts, which further developed into other scripts in South India and Southeast Asia. Brahmic scripts reached Southeast Asia through trade and South Asian cultural influence, leading to the development of local varieties. By the 8th century, these scripts had separated into various regional scripts in South and Southeast Asia.
The Brahmic scripts are divided into two groups, the Northern Brahmic and the Southern Brahmic. Following is the list of Brahmic scripts:

On Knowhere, Kraglin Obfonteri tells the Guardians of the Galaxy the story of how he and Peter Quill tried to celebrate Earth's Christmas when Quill was still a kid. However, Yondu Udonta got mad and told them to cut it out. Obfonteri says that according to the Multi-Calendar, Christmas is coming but Nebula says that they have too much on their plate after buying Knowhere from the Collector and needing to rebuild it following Thanos' attack. Meanwhile, Quill gets approached by Bzermikitokolok who is researching Christmas and wrote a song about it but he ends up completely mischaracterizing it, to Quill's annoyance.
Mantis tells Drax the Destroyer that she wants to do something for Quill for Christmas, due to her secret that she is Ego's child and, therefore, Quill's sister. Thinking about giving him an unforgettable Christmas present, Drax suggests that Quill's hero, Kevin Bacon, would be a perfect option, so they take the "Bowie" and fly to Earth. Walking throughout Los Angeles, Mantis and Drax get mistaken for cosplayers and earn a lot of money from tourists who wanted to take pictures with them.
Looking for Bacon, Mantis and Drax go to a club where they get wasted, before a bystander gives them a star tours booklet with Bacon's home address. They go to Bacon's house and try to take him as a present but Bacon says that he cannot help them. However, Mantis and Drax then break into his house, so a horrified Bacon calls the police and tries to run away. The police arrives but Mantis and Drax incapacitate the officers, before catching up to Bacon. Mantis uses her powers to put Bacon in a trance and convince him to go with them.
Back on the "Bowie", Mantis and Drax ask Bacon about his adventures that Quill was talking about. However, they realize that Bacon is not a hero, but just an actor. They both get disgusted, believing that actors are horrible people and thinking that Quill's perception of Bacon was warped. Mantis uses her powers to get Bacon to act as an actual hero, so Quill would not be disappointed. With the help of other inhabitants, the Guardians decorate Knowhere for a Christmas party, which amazes Quill but he soon gets horrified when he finds out that his present is Bacon, kidnapped by Mantis and Drax.
Quill immediately tells Mantis to get Bacon out of the trance and promises to get him back home, although he still freaks out. Obfonteri then brings Bacon to the "Bowie" to transport him to Earth and explains that Mantis and the others simply wanted to do something nice for their friend on Christmas, who was always fascinated by Bacon. Bacon then decides to stay on Knowhere for a while and performs a song with Bzermikitokolok and the Knowheremen at the Christmas party, during which the Guardians exchange presents.
Quill asks Mantis why would she go to such lengths to make him happy and she tells him about Obfonteri's story how Udonta ruined Christmas for him. Quill then tells Mantis the rest of the story: after calling off the party, Udonta found a toy troll Quill wanted to give him as a present, so Udonta gave him a present as well - his Quad Blasters. Mantis tells Quill that she wanted to do something special for Quill and admits that she is actually his sister. Surprised, Quill tells Mantis that it is the best present he could think of and the two embrace, wishing each other Merry Christmas.
Afterwards, Rocket Raccoon and Cosmo decorate Groot like a Christmas tree. However, Groot gets tired and lowers his arms, dropping all decorations. Cosmo says that Groot ruined Christmas again and Rocket remarks that now they "need another special".

This was captured for all future generations by journalist Sam Nzima. Makhubo later fled into exile and disappeared. No one knows the truth of what happened to him to this day.
Makhubo was 18 years old during the uprising and in a youth wing of the Black Consciousness Movement. This was an organising committee for the protest. He was not protesting at first but he ran to save Pieterson when he heard the gunshots. The photo changed his (Makhubo's) life for the worse. He became a symbol, inspiring others to revolt against the crimes in South Africa. Shortly after, he was abused by apartheid police and accused of shaming the government by carrying Pieterson's body for a picture. Makhubo was eventually forced to go into exile to Botswana first and then to Nigeria. He wrote a few letters to his mother in Nigeria. However, he disappeared in 1979 and his whereabouts remain unknown.
In 1978, Makhubo's mother told the Truth and Reconcilation Committee that she had received a letter from him. But she has not heard anything since then. In 2013, it had been claimed that a prisoner in Canada for eight years due to illegal immigration charges, Victor Vinnetou, was actually Makhubo. South African officials have collected his DNA samples to confirm the claim. However, DNA from his father proved it wrong, disappointing the family. However, it was possibly done on a family member who shared no family line with either of his parents, making it a mystery.
The network, Eyewitness News, asked a Johannesburg scientist to compare the faces of Vinnetou and Makhubo. He found many similarities between the faces and moderately supported the claim. Meanwhile, the network shared a series of podcasts entitled "Through the Cracks" which revealed untold details about Makhubo.
Mbusiya Makhubo's brother, Raul Makhubo, said that Vinnetou divulged (gave away) information about the landscape in their home. He also knew how everything stood in their yard and their parents' names. Besides, Vinnetou had a moon-like birth mark on the left chest like Mbusiya Makhubo.
On 14 June 2014, the Arts and Culture Department verified information on Makhubo's DNA test, with its former minister Paul Mashatile saying that a team had been dispatched (sent) to Canada. However, the same department said five days later that the Canadian Authorities sent DNA samples proven to be inconclusive, and it decided to close the case.
In 2020, the city of Johannesburg awarded a blue plaque for Mbuyisa fixed to the Makhubo house at 7485 Litaba Street, Orlando West, South Africa near the Hector Pieterson Museum. This one is part of a series of plaques awarded and unveiled (publicly shown) starting from 2012, to commemorate and honour key sites along the route of the June 1976 Soweto uprising.
