Criminal groups in Haiti are subjecting girls and women to horrific sexual abuse, and survivors have little access to protection and care services because of insufficient resources and difficulties reaching those that exist. Criminal groups have often used sexual violence to instill fear in rival territories. As fighting between criminal groups has decreased, they have expanded the use of sexual violence, which is now widespread.

Boris Kagarlitsky, the imprisoned Russian sociologist and prominent leftist voice, has long been known for his incisive critiques of the state and firm support for social movements. On November 14, from behind bars, Kagarlitsky made a resolute public appeal: he did not wish to be included in any potential prisoner exchange for his release. A testament to his courage of conviction.

The creative mind that was V.C. Harris has long since become a ‘text’—an enduring narrative fused into the cultural and intellectual history of Kerala. It is rare, in any age, to encounter an individual who transcends the limits of authorship, who becomes a living text, one that speaks, breathes, and evolves with time. But Harris, as those of us who had the privilege of knowing him can attest, was one of those rare few.

On a warm evening almost a decade ago, I sat under the stars with Daniel Ellsberg while he talked about nuclear war with alarming intensity. He was most of the way through writing his last and most important book, The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner. Somehow, he had set aside the denial so many people rely on to cope with a world that could suddenly end in unimaginable horror. Listening, I felt more and more frightened. Dan knew what he was talking about.
