However, the main characteristic of a patriarchal society is one where men hold more power and authority which subsequently leads to male privilege. As such, a woman's place in a patriarchal society is primarily to be homemakers, procreators or caregivers. Gender inequality -- the unequal treatment of someone based solely on their gender -- is an outcome of patriarchal societies but the terms do not mean the same thing. Despite strides towards sex equality that have been gaining momentum for more than a century, the US remains a patriarchal society. While not evenly accorded to all males, being assigned male at birth in a patriarchal society comes with privileges.

Haitian migrants stand while seeking to resolve their legal situation to avoid deportation from Colombia and continue their way to Panama and the United States, in Cali, Colombia, August 10, 2016. The Safe Mobility scheme was agreed between Colombia, Panama and the United States in April in a bid to address humanitarian issues in the Darien, where migrants often suffer death, injury and crime. Colombian towns on the way to the Darien are regularly hugely overcrowded with migrants attempting to move along the irregular route. Haitian, Cuban and Venezuelan migrants who entered Colombia legally through June 11 this year can apply online for potential spots to enter the United State, the Colombia foreign ministry statement said. Colombia will not intercede in any migration decisions, it said.

"We're showing the young kids and players out in Jamaica what can be achieved."

MELBOURNE, Aug 2 (Reuters) - A courageous Jamaica held Brazil to a 0-0 draw on Wednesday to reach the knockout phase for the first time in only their second Women's World Cup while condemning the South Americans to their earliest exit since 1995. Jamaica rode their luck to halftime and Brazil's desperation grew after the break as their attacks came to nothing. In search of a goal, the Brazilians exposed themselves to the counter-attack and Khadija Shaw all but made them pay. Brazil had one last chance in a final-minute goal-mouth scramble but Debinha headed straight to the keeper, allowing the Jamaicans to celebrate arguably their finest moment in international football.

A group of migrants from different countries walk through the Darien Gap, as they continue their journey to the U.S. border, in Acandi, Colombia July 9, 2023. Official data shows 248,901 people crossed the dangerous stretch between January and July, surpassing the record high seen for all of 2022. The "dramatic" numbers show a need for joint efforts to address the root causes of forced displacement and irregular migration, the UN refugee agency and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said in a statement. Migrants crossing the Darien Gap are mostly from Venezuela, while Haitians and Ecuadorians make up the next two largest groups. Crossings through the jungle are expected to surpass 400,000 this year, according to the UN, well up from nearly 250,000 in 2022.

Synonymous with Brazilian women's soccer for two decades, "Queen Marta" no longer dominates her team on field quite as before. Her influence in the changing room remains strong, though, with team mates determined to give her a proper international send-off in her last World Cup. The all-time highest Women's World Cup scorer with 17 goals, Marta also shares the record of scoring at five editions of the tournament with Christine Sinclair. With 40-year-old Sinclair bowing out on Monday following Canada's elimination by Australia, Marta can become the first player, man or woman, to score at six World Cups. "Twenty years ago, nobody knew who Marta was at my first World Cup.

The team secured the country’s first ever Women’s World Cup point against France and then went one better by earning a first ever victory with a narrow 1-0 win over Panama. If the team is to add another historic achievement to its resumé and reach the knockout stages of a World Cup – men’s or women’s – for the first time, it will need to avoid defeat against Brazil. Brazil, currently a point behind Jamaica, knows only a victory will suffice – As Canarinhas can technically still progress with a draw, but would simultaneously require the extraordinarily unlikely scenario of a Panama victory over France. James Elsby/APThe 37-year-old is playing in her sixth and final World Cup and a major title with Brazil is the only accomplishment missing from her glittering career. In Group F’s other match, France can secure top spot with a victory over already eliminated Panama.

MELBOURNE, Aug 1 (Reuters) - France coach Herve Renard apologised on Tuesday for his furious outburst at Brazil staff at the end of his team's tight win at the Women's World Cup. With Brazil seeking a late equaliser at Brisbane's Lang Park on Saturday, a frustrated Renard took umbrage in the technical area as injury time dragged on due to frequent stoppages. Pointing at his watch and yelling at the Brazil camp, Renard was restrained by one of his staff and angrily brushed away a match official who intervened. The win over Brazil put France top of the group but level with second-placed Jamaica on four points. Renard said he would make changes to his starting 11 to freshen up the squad, and suggested captain Wendie Renard, who scored the winner against Brazil, might get some time off.

CNN —The number of migrants crossing the treacherous Darien Gap, a mountainous rainforest region that connects South and Central America, has broken a new record, according to immigration officials in Panama. The Panama migration authority’s deputy director Maria Isabel Saravia told media that 2022’s already-high number of crossings was surpassed on Monday. “With today and yesterday’s crossings of 1,869 people, there have been 248,901 crossings,” Saravia said Monday. As the figures anticipated, we exceeded last year’s number (…) The last three years have been much higher than the last 11 years in crossings,” Saravia added. The 60-kilometer (37 mile) hike through the Darien Gap brings migrants from Colombia to Panama and is a crucial passage for those hoping to reach the United States and Canada.

PANAMA CITY, July 31 (Reuters) - The number of people crossing the treacherous Darien Gap linking Panama and Colombia hit an all-time high in the first seven months of the year, figures released on Monday showed, with July seeing a sharp jump despite recent efforts to curb the trend. Official data showed 248,901 people walked through the jungle area between January and July, already surpassing the record of 248,284 recorded for the whole of 2022, with most aiming to reach the United States, according to data from Panama's Security Ministry. Entries to Panama from Colombia through the jungle region have continued to rise despite a two-month program launched in April by the United States, Panama and Colombia to tackle undocumented immigration. The flow of migrants has skyrocketed from previous years, despite the start of the rainy season, Panama's Security Minister Juan Pino said earlier this month.

It was a scoreless opening half, one where the history at stake for both teams – Panama was seeking a first World Cup win too – was palpable as Jamaica fired shot after shot over the crossbar and Panama seemed content to play out from the back. Jamaica secured its first Women's World Cup victory. Meanwhile, Panama fought to keep a foothold in the game, occasionally challenging Jamaica’s backline as its own defense scrambled well to keep the Reggae Girlz at bay. But it seemed a matter of time until Jamaica found the back of the net, and Swaby eventually put her team ahead, sparking jubilant celebrations on the field.

AMSTERDAM, July 28 (Reuters) - The fire which has been burning on a car carrier off the Dutch coast has lessened in intensity and salvagers have been able to board the ship to secure stronger tow lines, authorities said on Friday. Smoke rises as a fire broke out on the cargo ship Fremantle Highway, at sea on July 26, 2023. The Dutch coastguard said on its website on Thursday that the cause of the fire was unknown, but an emergency responder is heard in a recording released by Dutch broadcaster RTL saying, "The fire started in the battery of an electric car". An investigation has been launched by the Panama Maritime Authority and the Netherlands is assisting the inquiry, the Dutch Safety Board has said. The 199-metre (653-ft) Fremantle is drifting about 17 km from the northernmost Dutch coast, the coastguard said.

A massive cargo ship burning off the coast of the Netherlands is igniting concerns over fire risks from electric vehicles. The Dutch Coast Guard said on its blog that 23 crew members were evacuated, but one person died. But the intensity of the fire seems to have diminished compared with yesterday," the Dutch Coast Guard said, per an AFP translation. Just 25 or less than 1% of the 2,857 vehicles on board the Fremantle Highway were electric vehicles. The Dutch Coast Guard did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider.

AMSTERDAM, July 28 (Reuters) - The car carrier burning off the Dutch coast since Tuesday night is carrying nearly 500 electric vehicles, ship charter company "K" Line said on Friday, significantly more than the 25 initially reported by the coastguard. There were 3,783 vehicles on board, including 498 battery electric vehicles, a Tokyo-based spokesperson for K Line (Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha), which had chartered the vessel, said. He declined to say anything about the car brands, including whether or not it included any cars from Japanese manufacturers. An investigation has been launched by the Panama Maritime Authority and the Netherlands is assisting the inquiry, the Dutch Safety Board has said. The 199-metre (653 ft) Fremantle, which is still burning, is drifting about 17 km from the northernmost Dutch coast, the coastguard said.
