Across cultures, women prefer participation in nonviolent opposition to government rather than violence. Civil resistance entails intentionally nonviolent acts such as demonstrations, strikes, and nonparticipation to pressure government to respond to demands.

This Research Paper supports SDGs 5 and 10 by applying a decision-tree approach to identify subgroups of women at increased risk of IPV across 48 LMICs and to subsequently help design targeted interventions, and by suggesting the need for population-wide approaches in parallel for a large proportion of women with no identifiable risk factors.

Human Rights Day is observed every year on 10 December — the day the United Nations General Assembly adopted, in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The UDHR is a milestone document, which proclaims the inalienable rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being - regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Available in more than 500 languages, it is the most translated document in the world.

In this article, we pursue the automatic detection of fake news reporting on the Syrian war using machine learning and meta-learning. The proposed approach is based on a suite of features that include a given article's linguistic style; its level of subjectivity, sensationalism, and sectarianism; the strength of its attribution; and its consistency with other news articles from the same “media camp”. To train our models, we use FA-KES, a fake news dataset about the Syrian war.
