Issues particular to South African intersexuality- including the application of the term stabane, accusations of intersexuality as more common among black South Africans than whites, and racist and classisi histories of medical diagnoses and treatment- explicitly weave race, class, sexuality, and gender together and form a critical foundation for Semenya's curr...

  • The purpose of this article is to describe mortality of women from intimate partner violence (IPV) in South Africa using a retrospective national study in a proportionate random sample of 25 mortuaries. Homicides identified from mortuary, autopsy, and police records. There were 3,797 female homicides, of which 50.3% were from IPV. The mortality rate from IPV was 8.8 per 100,000 women. Mortality from IPV were elevated among those 14 to 44 years and women of color. Blunt force injuries were more common, while strangulation or asphyxiation were less common. The national IPV mortality rate was more than twice that found in the United States.

  • Kyrgyz reformers didn't stop there. A presidential decree eliminated the location permit, which had required the signature of Bishkek's mayor and took 60 days to obtain. "It used to be a nightmare. You never knew what additional papers would be required," says Bekbolot, owner of a medium-size construction company. The mayor's office no longer handles occupancy permits either. "It took me 6 months before the reforms, and I still could not obtain the mayor's signature. After the reforms, it took me just over a week to get my occupancy permit signed and sealed. Burkina Faso, once among the bottom 10 on the ease of , was the second fastest reformer.
