日本女記者伊藤詩織執導的紀錄片《黑箱日誌》，是今屆奧斯卡金像獎最佳紀錄片提名之一，本周在香港上映。 那是伊藤詩織以第一身親自調查、紀錄、蒐證和報道，在二○一五年，自己被日本TBS電視台前華盛頓分局局長、於日本政界極具影響力的「安培晉三總理御用記者」山口敬之疑似迷姦的紀錄片。 電影平實地紀錄伊藤詩織耗八年蒐證的過程，這種如實揭露社會陋惡與公義、高牆與雞蛋對抗的真人真事，正是好看之處。牌面看，一個初出道毫無籌碼的二十五歲女記者，獨自控訴和對抗一個在政界和傳媒界有權有勢、隻手遮天的男高層，在日本這個男女仍嚴重不平等的父權社會文化裏，根本毫無勝數，甚至會惹來人身安全的危機。 事實上，伊藤詩織當時站出來指控山口敬之時，遇到的是：一、父母弟妹都想阻止她這樣做；二、負責調查的警員被調離崗位；三、警方以「證據不足」為由，對山口敬之作出不檢控之決定；四、遭民間責罵她「不要臉」、「搏出位」、「妓女」，甚至有日本女性寫信說「以她為恥」。可想而知，伊藤詩織承受着極大壓力，而諷刺的是，她本是受害人，而日本司法界、政界、警界、傳媒及民間輿論，竟無保護受害者，反意圖將她打壓和滅聲。 刑事起訴不了，伊藤詩織再從民事入手。幸好有黑暗，亦會有光明，有腐敗，亦會有公義，兩種力量互相抗衡，不到最後未為輸。民間有律師團隊願幫她打官司，亦有婦女團體力挺她，那夜目睹山口敬之強拉不省人事的伊藤詩織入酒店之的士司機和酒店職員也挺身作證；而最有力的證據，是酒店門口閉路電視拍到的真實情況。至於最後結局如何，這裏先賣個關子，待讀者入電影院找答案。 此片帶出很多關於「性公義」的思考。電影以外，亦反映了日本社會仍未因此事而對「性公義」產生覺醒——此片雖已在多個國際影展和地方公映，卻至今仍無法在日本正式上映。 撰文 : 利嘉敏 欄名 : 攻關女子 Source link

The Japanese have an expression, “Effort never betrays you.” A visit to Japan this past week has been a reminder that hard work and perseverance are enduring elements of the national identity. Both of us first visited Japan decades ago – in 1962 and 1988. This latest visit has provided the opportunity for perspective. What’s

在香港街頭都見過拾紙皮婆婆，但她們卻甚少獲社會關注。紙皮婆婆在街上拾紙皮的景象反而觸動了在港工作一年的Marco Cremona，他是香港Ogilvy的Chief Creative Officer。 原來，香港Ogilvy一班專業公關人員，每年都會以Pro-Bono（免費公益）形式，為本地民間團體做好事。今年其中的一項美事，就是本月初於南豐紗廠舉辦的「紙要耆積」藝術展覽，由香港信義會及屯門青年使命團協作策動。 這麼有意思的活動，我當然身體力行支持。看過展覽才知道，那些靠回收廢紙等資源維生的「紙皮婆婆」，以每千克紙皮換取五至七角低價維生，每月平均只有約七百元的微薄收入。她們是自僱，當然缺乏保險和勞動保障。在場聽到一些故事，有些收紙皮的商家，還想在這五角的低價上再壓榨婆婆。根據NGO統計，香港有四千至七千名拾荒者，大多是年老婦女。這些「紙皮婆婆」每日回收量約一百三十八至一百五十九公噸。屯門青年使命團的負責人告知，這些紙皮婆婆經常幾天沒吃得飽，故使命團每周都有一天為她們準備免費餐。 展覽由香港知名藝術家高哼（Go Hung）創作，他以創新使用紙皮和從街頭收集的廢棄材料，製作雕塑和裝置藝術而聞名。當中，我很喜歡《So.call Mobility》（與social mobility成對比），是由一百八十個紙皮枕頭組成的雕塑作品，分六層懸掛，層與層的距離愈隔愈大，象徵貧富懸殊逐漸擴大。為甚麼是一百八十個？高哼說，那是香港露宿者在臨時庇護所最多可停留的日數。換言之，他們要在半年內找到工作並足以應付日常生活之餘還要有餘款可儲到一百八十天後可繳屋租按金。這可能性有幾大？而執紙皮婆婆多數獨行獨往，很少主動向人表達難處。 這個藝術展覽，對參與者有極大教育意義。仍然縈繞良久，我們社會能否為甚少被關注、被重視的紙皮婆婆做多一點點？ 撰文 : 利嘉敏 欄名 : 攻關女子 Source link

In most people’s lives, there will come a time when one has to make a large, life-altering change in order to improve their mental health.

Despite strides in economic development, India continues to battle alarming levels of malnutrition. A national survey conducted by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare revealed that 14% of the population remains undernourished, over 30% of children under five are stunted, and more than half of women and children are anaemic. In addition to undernutrition,
