REUTERS/Violeta Santos Moura Acquire Licensing RightsMADRID, Aug 30 (Reuters) - Spanish society must break a "pact of silence" and stop normalizing sexist behaviour as well as better support women brave enough to speak out when it happens, acting Equality Minister Irene Montero said on Wednesday. "Spain is a feminist society in which sexism still exists, but it is determined to end sexism," Montero said. "Perhaps it would have been desirable for this pact of silence to be broken with more force and forcefulness. Spain is now under a caretaker government after an inconclusive election in July that was marked by heated debate over women´s rights. However, Vox called for Rubiales to resign, citing behaviour incompatible with the presidency of a federation.

☆ China was once a women’s soccer superpower. This year’s World Cup is a first step in reclaiming that status

The rapid development of women’s soccer programs across Europe and the Americas has fielded a new generation of powerful teams-to-beat. I hope through these matches, we can form a clearer picture of the current position of Chinese women’s soccer,” she told state media earlier this month. China scores against New Zealand during a group match at the 1991 Women's World Cup in Guangzhou. That’s even as more than thirty years ago, when China hosted the first ever-women’s World Cup in its southeastern Guangdong province. But as norms change, seeing China’s women’s team competing on the world stage at events like the World Cup would also “inspire girls” to play, Peng added.

☆ The 1975: Malaysia's LGBTQ community slams Matty Healy's onstage kiss

But for many in Malaysia’s LGBTQ community, it was quite the opposite. Advocates say Islamic laws have increasingly used to target the Southeast Asian country’s LGBTQ community, with a rise in arrests and punishments ranging from caning to jailing. Participants in a Womens Day March asking for greater rights in gender equality and recognition of the LGBTQ community in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on March 12, 2023. Just last year, Rose had helped organize a Halloween party attended by many members of the LGBTQ community – which was raided by the police, who detained a number of participants, she said. That’s not to say international musicians can’t speak up about LGBTQ rights in Malaysia.
