From “Thelma & Louise” and “A League of Their Own” to this year’s coming-of-age drama, “Fairyland,” back-seat docility just wasn’t an option. Next year will mark two decades since the creation of the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media. When her daughter was a toddler, Ms. Davis couldn’t help noticing that male characters vastly outnumbered female characters in children’s TV and movies. How the women were represented, their aspirations, the way young girls were sexualized: Across children’s programming, Ms. Davis saw a bewilderingly warped vision of reality being beamed into impressionable minds. “I started to wonder, What if I got the data to prove that I’m right about this?”

But the achievements of the past week should help to break down the stereotypes surrounding Arab women and inspire them to dream big.

Experții au analizat date din Statele Unite care au arătat o creștere „mică, dar semnificativă”, a coliziunilor și a deceselor asociate cu legalizarea marijuanei. Coautor al studiului, Sarah Windle de la Lady Davis Institute, Universitatea McGill, a declarat: „Analizele de date sugerează că legalizarea canabisului în jurisdicțiile Statelor Unite poate fi asociată cu o creștere mică, dar semnificativă a accidentelor rutiere. Consumul de canabis a crescut după legalizareÎn Canada, numărul persoanelor care au raportat consumul de canabis a crescut de la 14% în 2018, înainte de legalizare, la 17% în 2019, după legalizare. O analiză a datelor din 2012 a estimat costul accidentelor rutiere legate de canabis.
