Tough Women Adventure Stories: Stories of Grit, Courage and Determination

Product Information

As you are aware, trialogues are currently underway regarding the EU Directive on combating violence against women and domestic violence. We note France’s leadership role within the EU, as well as on the rights of women and girls, notably through its Feminist Diplomacyand plans to enshrine the right to abortion in its constitution. We commend the work of civil society, in particular women’s rights organisations and feminist movements, in promoting awareness but also in preventing and combating all forms of violence. Paris duo Mathilde Bourdieu and Julie Dufour were denied by smart saves from goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger, while substitute Louise Fleury squandered a second-half chance as Chelsea were made to work hard for their victory.

Chelsea's sloppiness in possession appeared to frustrate manager Hayes, particularly in the first half, but the hosts improved as the match wore on and were boosted by the introduction of substitute Fran Kirby. In the context of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on 25 November we reaffirm our strong determination and firmest commitment to the prevention and elimination of all forms of violence against all women and girls. I knew from the newspaper when they published the names. I am really happy, but I will not believe it until I see it. We prepared her room for her. I can’t wait for her to be home.” Israel has a history of agreeing to asymmetrical prisoner swaps: in 2011, Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier, returned home after five years of captivity in the Gaza Strip in exchange for 1,000 Palestinians in Israeli jails. As Tough Women’s subtitle declares, these are “stories of grit, courage and determination”. True tales from twenty-two tough women who undertake awe-inspiring adventures across the globe, from canoeing the Canadian wilderness, to hiking Pakistan, to cycling South America.

About Jenny Tough

We maybe could have done better on one of the goals defensively but we go away from here with no regrets. I'm proud of the players." Kerr was teed up by Lauren James' superb pass in the first half before poking in Johanna Rytting Kaneryd's cross after the break. Paris created several dangerous chances and had levelled after 38 minutes through Thea Greboval's header.

The EU acceded to the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (CETS No. 210), also known as Istanbul Convention, in June 2023, which entered into force for the EU on 1 October 2023. It sets international standards for preventing all forms of violence against all women and girls, including domestic violence, protecting victims and ensuring accountability for perpetrators. We underline the pioneering role of the Council of Europe, including through the Istanbul Convention, in the fight against violence against women and domestic violence. And they had the game's first chance, gifted to Mathilde Bourdieu after Chelsea had given the ball away inside their own half, but the striker's effort was straight at Berger. Hayes wasted no time in bringing on Kirby and she delivered for her USA-bound manager, splitting open Paris' stubborn defence with some excellent passing and using her movement to find spaces in the middle. The deal on prisoner releases has shone a light on Israeli detention and sentencing practices in the Palestinian territories, where Palestinians are tried in military courts with a more than 98% conviction rate and in which minors are regularly imprisoned. This is a happy day but it is also filled with sadness,” said Fairuz Fayez Mahmoud Al-Bu, a 26-year-old from Abu Dis who had been held in administrative detention – without charge or trial – for more than two years. She was arrested for allegedly stabbing an Israeli, an allegation she denies.The ceasefire deal includes a clause stipulating that after the initial four-day ceasefire, there will be an additional day in which fighting is paused, up to a total of 10 days. For every 10 Gaza hostages that come home safely, three times as many Palestinians in Israeli jails will be released. But the Blues did not start with the same fluidity on Thursday against a well-organised, high-pressing Paris side.

On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, we express our deepest concern about violence against women and girls, including in conflict situations. We continue to condemn in the strongest possible terms Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified war of aggression against Ukraine and all violations of international human rights law. We had three games in six days and I think tonight was the fallout of that," she said. "We looked really leggy in the first half. It's something to be mindful of. After weeks of frantic diplomatic efforts – brokered by Qatar, Egypt and the US – Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian group in control of Gaza, agreed a four-day ceasefire that went into effect on Friday at 7am (5am GMT), 24 hours later than originally planned. For a handful of the hundreds of thousands of Palestinian families with members in Israeli military prisons, the anxious wait ended on Friday night, as 24 women and 15 children were shuttled into Betunia, a suburb of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, on two International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) buses. They were greeted with singing, Palestinian flags, the flags of the militant wings of Hamas and the West Bank’s dominant Fatah party, and the hugs and tears of their mothers, fathers, sons and daughters.We are grateful for your attention to this matter. We stand ready to provide additional comments or information to the Ministry if need be. The ever-dependable Kerr was on Kirby's wavelength and put away her chances to seal the win, before Ingle's well-taken strike from a corner capped the win. Its editor is the intrepid Jenny Tough, a Canadian mountaineering expert who notes in her introduction that “the outdoor industry is actually fully of women, but when it comes to the highest level of media…the demographic dwindles to one”. Fortunately, this sexist state of affairs could be on the verge of changing - through giving voice to the “badass outdoorswomen” who here tell their extraordinary stories, this book might just change that narrow narrative and inspire new generations of female adventuresses. As we are celebrating this year the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we reaffirm our unequivocal commitment to respect, protect and fulfil all human rights and to defend their universality.
