Vogue's March cover

For the March issue, Vogue invited a number of models. They felt these models could diversify the cover and appeal to all members of the public.

 The magazine received backlash about the fact that there was only one plus size model on the cover. It didn't help that she was also hiding part of her thigh with her arm. The magazine was blamed for discriminating against women of a fuller figure. 

 I think that instead of always finding the bad in things we read and see, we should find the positive. Notice how the cover has models from different parts of the world. They aren't all American. Therefore it does showcase diversity and beauty.

    I like the concept and the different shades on the cover..... However, the way Ashley Green(I think is her name) is covering her thigh is very shady! All the other girls are doing the same thing except her🤔Seems to me like she was told to try that position because it made her seem smaller.

    People will always have a bad thing to say about something, I love the fact that they took different models from different parts of the world

    I support the negative comment people said. How does it happen that she is the only one that covers her thigh while others pose in their own way. It's disturbing

Why has 'Inxeba-The Wound' been banned?

'Inxeba' is an award winning film which has recently been banned by South Africa's Film and Publication Board. For all those who were genuinely interested in the movie, it means that it is now illegal to view the movie publicly nor privately. The movie is about finding and exploring your true self and sexuality but others have taken the whole interpretation of freedom of self and have made it a cultural abomination. In the Eastern Cape many Xhosa people, mostly men, took to the cinemas in an outrage to stop the movie from being viewed by anyone. Nakhane Toure, the main actor of the film has received numerous threats due to his role in the movie and his sexuality in real life. As he is a homosexual man. I think the question we should be asking is why. Why are black people, to be precise, why is the Xhosa culture against the screening of this movie? Writing from a Xhosa persons point of view, I feel that our culture is beautiful and it should be celebrated. There...

Women suffer the most in a time of drought.

The water crisis affects women more than it does men. This was discussed at the Women and Water dialogue that took place in Cape Town. The aim was to find solutions on how to better the situations women face on a daily basis. Nabeelah Mia a member of the Sonke Gender Justice, shared that the lack of water would have a negative impact on the health and hygiene needs of women. Women have particular needs that without access to water, they would experience discomfort and distress. Sandile Ngobeni a researcher for the Commission for Gender Equality brought forward how the government does not efficiently deal with the health and sanitation needs for women. He voiced that it is an injustice to have free condoms placed in public toilets yet sanitary towels are not present. I deeply support the argument that droughts do impact women more than men, however it does not mean that the needs of men are not significant. Sanitary towels should be free because a women do not choose ...
