The team did, however, add that domestic violence was increasingly prevalent and severe, especially in countries having <keyword id="23412547" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="patriarchal-societies" source="keywords">patriarchal societies</keyword> where violence against women is considered acceptable. Violence rates were found to be low in countries having a higher Gross Domestic Product. The analysis, published in the journal PLoS Climate, is the first to provide evidence of how climate shocks can influence national rates of physical and sexual intimate partner, or domestic, violence, the authors said. It also adds to global evidence regarding the social impacts of climate shocks, which can often be felt long after the events, thereby building a case for policymaking and action, they said. "All of this happens more often and with increased severity in countries that have patriarchal gender norms and where the use of violence against women is widely accepted as normal behaviour," lead author Jenevieve Mannell, from the University College London's Institute for Global Health, said. "Climate-related disasters increase stress and food insecurity in families in ways that can lead to increases in violence. They also reduce the social services often available for dealing with partner violence, such as police and civil society who are more focused on the disaster," Mannell said. Previous studies have found that rising heat and humidity increases aggressive behaviour. "We set out to explore what was happening at a national level to help inform international <keyword id="19907392" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="climate-change" source="keywords">climate change</keyword> policy," Mannell said. The researchers also included climate shocks data from floods, storms, landslides, extreme temperatures, droughts, <keyword id="19916432" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="earthquakes" source="keywords">earthquakes</keyword>, volcanoes, wildfires between 1920 and 2022 across 190 countries in their analysis. Floods were found to be the most strongly linked with domestic violence, followed by storms and landslides. Earthquakes, volcanoes, and wildfires, on the other hand, were found to not influence violence rates. "National data representing 156 countries suggest a significant relationship between <keyword id="19923453" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="intimate-partner-violence" source="keywords">intimate partner violence</keyword> and a climate factor composed of storms, landslides and floods," the authors wrote. The researchers said they could not assess as to why certain kinds of climate shocks impacted intimate partner violence more than others. They proposed that varied types of climate shocks can take different times before showing their effects on violence against women, which they said could possibly not be captured within the two-year window of the study period. Therefore, they called for more regular data collection by countries for measuring domestic violence in the context of climate change.

Climate shocks can lead to increased domestic violence in the coming years, warn researchers

<ul class="summary-list"><li>An NYT investigation detailed horrifying stories of sexual violence by Hamas on October 7.</li><li>The harrowing report shares witness accounts of rapes and mutilations by Hamas militants.</li></ul>A harrowing new report by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/28/world/middleeast/oct-7-attacks-hamas-israel-sexual-violence.html?smtyp=cur&amp;smid=tw-nytimes">The New York Times</a> detailed horrific accounts of sexual violence carried out by Hamas during its October 7 terrorist attacks on Israel.Allegations of rape were made almost immediately after the attacks, which Israel said left some 1,200 people dead.But many of the accounts were not from direct witnesses, sparking debates about whether they could be relied upon.The Times said it carried out exhaustive work on its investigation, citing more than 150 interviews, video footage, photos, and GPS data.It concluded that in at least seven locations women and girls appeared to have been the victims of sexual assaults or mutilations.One witness interviewed by the outlet was Sapir, a 24-year-old accountant who only gave her first name.She said she saw gunmen rape and kill at least five women while she was hiding near Route 232, around four miles southwest of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/israel-music-festival-hamas-photographer-captured-moments-joy-before-attack-2023-10?r=US&amp;IR=T">Nova music festival</a>, which was <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/israel-festival-attendees-played-dead-for-hours-during-hamas-attack-2023-10?r=US&amp;IR=T">targeted by Hamas on October 7</a>.She told the outlet that she saw "about 100 men" as they dished out weapons and passed wounded women between them.In a particularly disturbing and graphic account, Sapir said that she saw the attackers cut the breast off of one woman as she was being raped and pass it between them before throwing it on the ground. "They play with it, throw it, and it falls on the road.""That day, I became an animal," Sapir said. "I was emotionally detached, sharp, just the adrenaline of survival. I looked at all this as if I was photographing them with my eyes, not forgetting any detail. I told myself: I should remember everything."Another witness, Raz Cohen, said he survived the attacks by hiding in the dried-up bed of a stream along Route 232. He told the Times that he saw five men dragging a young, naked woman across the ground."I saw the men standing in a half circle around her. One penetrates her. She screams. I still remember her voice, screams without words," Cohen said."Then one of them raises a knife," he added, "and they just slaughtered her."The Times reported that it saw photographs of one woman who had "dozens of nails driven into her thighs and groin" and footage of two Israeli soldiers who seemed to have been "shot directly in their vaginas."<a target="_blank" href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-67629181">Other reports</a> have described a widespread pattern of sexual brutality carried on October 7, rather than isolated incidents."What I can say with a really high degree of certainty is that it wasn't a few cases. It wasn't here and there, or only on one occasion," said Hadas Ziv, the director of ethics and policy at the nonprofit Physicians for Human Rights Israel, for a piece by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/how-hamas-used-sexual-violence-on-october-7th">The New Yorker</a>.He said: "There were many cases of different gender-based and sexual violence," including "the most extreme gang rapes, mutilation of body parts, putting objects into women's bodies, and having women paraded like trophies when they were taken into Gaza."Per the Times, there is relatively sparse official evidence because Israeli authorities did not carry out autopsies on many victims.Authorities said they focused on identifying victims rather than carrying out medical examinations.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.cpjfield.co.uk/planning-a-funeral/types-of-funeral/jewish-funerals">Jewish funeral traditions</a> also called for many bodies to be buried quickly."This was a mass casualty event," police spokesman Dean Elsdunne said, per the BBC."The first thing was to work on identifying the victims, not necessarily on crime-scene investigation. People were waiting to hear what happened to their loved ones."

"That is why we are all here today. To speak about unspeakable acts."The former <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/meta">Meta</a> COO added: "This goes beyond politics. If we can't agree that rape is wrong, then we have accepted the unacceptable. Then the question will be, not what is happening in the Middle East, but what is happening to our humanity."The Lean In founder joined a host of luminaries from the worlds of diplomacy, politics, and the arts at Monday's summit, where they called on the public to denounce the gender-based violence that Hamas perpetrated during its surprise attack and hold the terrorist organization accountable for the massacre of civilians.In front of an audience that included actors <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/debra-messing-says-politics-are-part-of-will-and-grace-dna-2018-10">Debra Messing</a> and Julianna Margulies, Sandberg praised the recent progress that the global community had made in recognizing, prosecuting, and reducing wartime rape. In previous conflicts, she said, women's bodies had been considered "the spoils of war."<div type="image" title="Tom Berthal (left), Sheryl Sandberg, Amb.

"We have come so far in establishing that rape is a crime against humanity. And we have come so far in believing survivors of sexual assault in so many situations. That's why the silence on these moral crimes is dangerous. It threatens to undo decades of progress."Hamas' terror attack on Israel left roughly 1,200 people dead, according to Israeli officials. Following the attacks, the Israeli military launched a barrage of airstrikes and a ground incursion into Gaza, killing more than 15,000 Palestinians — the vast majority of them civilians — so far, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry."As a global community, we must respond to weaponized sexual violence, where ever it happens, with absolute condemnation," Hillary Rodham Clinton said in videotaped remarks after she spent Monday at the COP28 Climate Summit in Dubai.

They recalled encountering scores of female corpses, some whose pants were pulled down, others who had been shot in their genitals or had breasts cut off. They described bodies that were defiled after death and burned beyond recognition, as well as one young girl whose pelvis had been broken.Simcha Greiniman, a volunteer with the nonprofit ZAKA Search and Rescue organization, said he was dispatched to remove some of the bodies in the aftermath of the attacks."I saw in front of my eyes, a woman — she was naked," a visibly shaken Greiniman recalled. "She had nails and different objects in her female organs. Her body was brutal, in a way that we could not identify her. From her head to her toes. She was abused in a way we could not understand and we could not deal with."New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who said she had viewed raw footage from the attack, said she almost choked when she learned that many human rights organizations — including UN Women — failed to immediately condemn Hamas' attack. She said the silence underscores the idea that "their bodies are not worth defending.""The world must do more," Gillibrand said. "It must demand accountability. The United Nations must denounce Hamas as a terrorist organization."UN Women <a target="_blank" href="https://www.unwomen.org/en/news-stories/statement/2023/12/un-women-statement-on-the-situation-in-israel-and-gaza">issued a statement in December</a> condemning the attacks and expressing alarm at the "numerous accounts of gender-based atrocities and sexual violence during those attacks." <a target="_blank" href="https://www.unwomen.org/en/news-stories/speech/2023/10/speech-a-call-for-urgent-transformative-action-executive-director-briefing-to-un-security-council-open-debate-on-women-peace-and-security">In a speech</a> three weeks after the violence erupted, UN Women executive director Sima Bahous said that "every act of violence against women and girls, including sexual violence, is unequivocally condemned, irrespective of the nationality, identity, race, or religion of the victims."<div type="image" title="Israel's Ambassador Gilad Erdan addresses the UN Summit on the gender-based violence in the Oct. 7 terrorist attack." height="1036" width="1582" msid="105738577" hostid="261"></div>The summit's host, Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan, said that despite the lack of action from the international community, the voices of the murdered Israeli women would still be heard."If the UN chooses to remain silent in the face of evil, that does not mean the world will follow suit," Erdan said. "If the top-down approach is broken, the bottom-up approach will prevail. The world will know the truth. We know the truth and we will make the truth heard."

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Accusations of sexual violence and cannibalism against Armie Hammer began surfacing in January 2021.</li><li>After investigating Hammer, TMZ reported the LAPD closed the case without pressing charges.</li></ul>Armie Hammer has been the subject of intense scrutiny since claims of a cannibalism fetish began spreading in January 2021, when an anonymous Instagram account posted unverified purported DMs with the actor. In his first interview since the scandal, <a href="https://airmail.news/issues/2023-2-4/armie-hammer-breaks-his-silence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hammer told Air Mail</a> in February 2023 that he was sexually abused by a pastor as a teenager and that he became suicidal after his downfall. He also denied any criminal wrongdoing, saying instead that he never pushed BDSM relationships or encounters on anyone. He echoed the same statements in an interview on the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/armie-hammer-once-thought-swimming-out-to-sea-kill-himself-2024-6">"Painful Lessons" podcast</a> in June 2024.A <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/armie-hammer-rape-accusation-effie-2021-3">woman also accused him of a "violent" rape</a> that took place in 2017 and spoke at a press conference in March 2021.The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) confirmed to Insider the same month that it was investigating Hammer as the main suspect in a sexual assault allegation. An anonymous source <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2021/12/08/armie-hammer-rape-case-being-sent-da-charges-not-likely/">told TMZ</a> in December 2021 that the case had wrapped with the actor unlikely to face charges.It all started when the Instagram account<a href="https://www.instagram.com/houseofeffie/"> @houseofeffie</a> posted dozens of screenshots of direct messages that it claimed Hammer had sent women between 2016 and 2020. The woman who shared the screenshots, who has since been <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/armie-hammer-interview-actor-sexual-misconduct-allegations-cannibal-fetish-bdsm-1235317346/">identified as Efrosina Angelova</a>, per The Hollywood Reporter, is the woman who accused Hammer of rape at the press conference in March 2021, <a href="https://variety.com/2021/biz/news/armie-hammer-rape-allegation-effie-woman-victim-1234933830/">according to Variety</a>.The messages in the screenshots, which are unverified, referred to fantasies involving domination and cannibalism, among other claims.Hammer denied certain allegations against him, such as the allegation of rape, and simply avoided or refused to address others. He was dropped by two projects, including "The Offer," Paramount's series about the making of "The Godfather." He was also dropped by his agency and his publicist.<h2>Hammer first began trending on social media in 2021 over alleged NSFW direct messages shared by the account @houseofeffie</h2>In January 2021, an Instagram account called @houseofeffie began to share messages that the account claimed were from actor Armie Hammer. The messages, which remain unverified by media outlets including Insider, detailed fantasies including drinking blood, sexual domination, and even acts of cannibalism.The messages began to go viral after being amplified by the Instagram gossip page <a href="https://www.instagram.com/deuxmoi/?hl=en">@deuxmoi</a>, which has 590,000 followers.After @houseofeffie surfaced the claims, the account began to share other stories from women who it said had come forward with their own experiences and screenshots of their conversations with the 34-year-old "Call Me By Your Name" actor. While it is unconfirmed whether these messages are genuinely from Hammer, @houseofeffie insists they are and has tried to prove it by releasing what appear to be previously unseen photos of Hammer, which have since been deleted."Women approached me with their affair stories as we talked overwhelmed with grief for days and nights without sleeping or eating, with some ending up in the ER," the account admin wrote in an Instagram story, which was <a href="https://www.instagram.com/houseofeffie/?hl=en">saved to the account's highlights reel</a>."We collectively decided we have to speak out after how we were treated and seeing how the women in 2020 were being treated by him," the statement continued. "We cannot allow more women to endure what we are going through in the future."<h2>Hammer stepped down from his next movie over what he called 'vicious and spurious online attacks' in mid-January</h2><div type="image" title="armie hammer november 2019" height="1669" width="2500" msid="111066327" hostid="261" sizebytes="65980"></div>On January 13, 2021, days after the controversy had begun to unfold online, it was announced that <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/armie-hammer-steps-down-shotgun-wedding-alleged-dms-2021-1">Hammer had stepped down from a coming rom-com</a> called "Shotgun Wedding," in which he was set to play the lead opposite the star and producer Jennifer Lopez."Given the imminent start date of 'Shotgun Wedding,' Armie has requested to step away from the film and we support him in his decision," a production representative confirmed to Insider. The role was recast with Josh Duhamel taking Hammer's place.The actor and his team vigorously denied the allegations against him."I'm not responding to these bulls--- claims, but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for 4 months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic. Lionsgate is supporting me in this and I'm grateful to them for that," <a href="https://people.com/movies/armie-hammer-stepping-away-from-jennifer-lopez-action-comedy-amid-controversy-alleged-messages/">Hammer said in a January 13 statement to People</a>.<h2>Hammer's ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers and other exes have since commented on the alleged messages </h2><div type="image" title="Armie Hammer Elizabeth Chambers" height="1200" width="1600" msid="111066330" hostid="261" sizebytes="131352"></div>During the timing of the alleged messages, Hammer was married to Elizabeth Chambers. Prior to the current scandal, Hammer and Chambers had decided to end their 10-year marriage. Chambers filed for divorce on July 10, 2020, citing irreconcilable differences, <a href="https://people.com/movies/armie-hammer-losing-my-mind-in-lockdown-before-divorce/">according to People</a>, and asked for primary custody of their children.According to an exposé written by <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2021/03/the-fall-of-armie-hammer-a-family-saga-of-sex-money-drugs-and-betrayal"> Vanity Fair's Julie Miller</a> on March 11, 2021, "The Hammers had been in expensive family therapy, but, to Elizabeth, the indiscretions — and more notably his decision to flee the family during a global pandemic — were the final straw." The article went on to claim that Armie mistakenly <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/armie-hammer-elizabeth-chambers-raunchy-text-divorce-2021-3">sent raunchy text messages</a> meant for someone else to Chambers, which helped initiate the divorce. At first, Chambers was tight-lipped as the controversy unfolded on social media. But on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CKwy_NvF0_0/?utm_source=ig_embed">February 1, 2021, she posted a full statement on Instagram</a> saying she was "shocked, heartbroken, and devastated." "Heartbreak aside, I am listening, and will continue to listen and educate myself on these delicate matters," she wrote. "I didn't realize how much I didn't know.""I support any victim of assault or abuse and urge anyone who has experienced this pain to seek the help she or he needs to heal," she continued. Chambers is not the only one of Hammer's exes to speak out publicly about the supposed messages or share their own experiences with the actor. Previously, another ex named <a href="https://pagesix.com/2021/01/14/armie-hammers-ex-courtney-vucekovich-he-wanted-to-barbecue-and-eat-me/">Courtney Vucekovich, 30, told Page Six</a> that Hammer once told her that he "wants to break my rib and barbecue and eat it" in addition to alleging emotional abuse.And ex-girlfriend Paige Lorenze <a href="https://pagesix.com/2021/02/04/armie-hammer-wanted-ex-paige-lorenze-to-be-his-little-slave/">shared explicit messages she claimed are between herself and Hammer to Page Six</a> as well as <a href="https://pagesix.com/2021/01/25/armie-hammers-ex-paige-lorenze-claims-he-used-knife-to-mark-her/">detailing instances she claims were abusive</a>."These latest messages are just further evidence of the reality of his dangerous proclivities and his reaction shows his blatant disregard for the women he has traumatized," the 22-year-old student told the publication. "I want to offer my continued support to the other women who have been preyed on by men and have the courage to come forward.""These assertions about Mr. Hammer are patently untrue," <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/armie-hammer-scandal-fantasies-cannibalism-allegations.amp">his lawyer Andrew Brettler said in a statement shared to outlets including Page Six and Fox News</a>. "Any interactions with this person, or any partner of his, were completely consensual in that they were fully discussed, agreed upon, and mutually participatory. The stories being perpetuated in the media are a misguided attempt to present a one-sided narrative with the goal of tarnishing Mr. Hammer's reputation, and communications from the individuals involved prove that."The <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9139553/Armie-Hammers-wife-shocked-sickened-actors-kinks.html">Daily Mail</a> also reported that one of Hammer's exes, the writer Jessica Ciencin Henriquez, whose <a href="https://twitter.com/TheWriterJess">Twitter account is private</a>, had posted about her experience with Hammer."If you are still questioning whether or not those Armie Hammer DMs are real (and they are) maybe you should start questioning why we live in a culture willing to give abusers the benefit of the doubt instead of victims," Henriquez tweeted, according to the Daily Mail.<h2>Hammer's past behavior and quotes are now being re-examined with new scrutiny</h2>Given the nature of the supposed messages, fans are going back through old interviews to find any connection.In a Netflix Brazil interview for "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/netflix-rebecca-review-armie-hammer-disappoints-in-weak-adaptation-2020-10">Rebecca</a>" in November 2020, for example, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9140019/Armie-Hammer-declared-dream-dinner-guest-Marqu-s-Sade-inspired-term-sadist.html">Hammer said his dream dinner guest would be the Marquis de Sade</a>, an 18th-century French philosopher and writer famous for his erotic work that heavily involved sexual violence. The words "sadism" and "sadist" derive from de Sade's name.And in 2013, Hammer described himself in an interview with <a href="http://www.playboy.com/playground/view/20q-armie-hammer-interview">Playboy magazine</a> as being a "dominant lover.""Well, if you're married to a feminist as I am, then it's ... I don't know how much we can put here without my parents being embarrassed, but I used to like to be a dominant lover," the actor said."I liked the grabbing of the neck and the hair and all that. But then you get married and your sexual appetites change," he continued. "And I mean that for the better — it's not like I'm suffering in any way. But you can't really pull your wife's hair. It gets to a point where you say, 'I respect you too much to do these things that I kind of want to do.'"That same year, the actor <a href="http://www.elle.com/pop-culture/celebrities/actor-armie-hammer-profile">told Elle magazine</a> that a former girlfriend tried to stab him while they were having sex."She was like: 'True love leaves scars. You don't have any.' And then she tried to stab me with a butcher knife," he said. "Of course I promptly broke up with her. Seven months later."Hammer was dropped by both his agency, WME, and his personal publicist, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/armie-hammer-dropped-by-wme-exclusive">the Hollywood Reporter</a> and Variety reported on February 5, 2021.<h2>The LAPD investigated a rape allegation against Hammer</h2>The LAPD confirmed to Insider in March 2021 that they were investigating an allegation of rape against Hammer. It was not immediately clear whether the investigation was related to the accusation made by Angelova, who spoke about her alleged assault during a press conference Thursday alongside Gloria Allred, a high-profile women's rights attorney."On April 24, 2017, Armie Hammer violently raped me for over four hours in Los Angeles," she said at the conference, "during which he repeatedly slapped my head against a wall, bruising my face." She added that Hammer "also committed other acts of violence against me to which I did not consent." Angelova said that she tried to get away from Hammer, "but he wouldn't let me."Hammer's lawyer, Andrew Brettler, denied the allegations in a statement provided to Insider. "Effie's own correspondence with Mr. Hammer undermines and refutes her outrageous allegations," Brettler said in the statement. The statement continued, "It was never Mr. Hammer's intention to embarrass or expose [Effie's] fetishes or kinky sexual desires, but she has now escalated this matter to another level by hiring a civil lawyer to host a public press conference. With the truth on his side, Mr. Hammer welcomes the opportunity to set the record straight."Allred, Angelova's lawyer, told Insider in a statement: "I challenge Armie Hammer to present all, not some, of his communications with Effie to the Los Angeles Police Department and answer all of their questions directly rather than through his lawyers."An anonymous source with "direct knowledge" of the case told TMZ in December 2021 that the LAPD wrapped its investigation and passed on their findings to the district attorney. They added that the actor wasn't likely to face charges because the case "wasn't strong."In June 2023, the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/armie-hammer-rape-charge-la-district-attorney-drop-case-2023-6">LA district attorney's office announced it wouldn't file charges against him</a>. <h2>Hammer addressed the scandal in an interview with Air Mail</h2>The actor told Air Mail in February 2023 that he contemplated suicide while quarantining in the Cayman Islands in February 2021."I just walked out into the ocean and swam out as far as I could and hoped that either I drowned, or was hit by a boat, or eaten by a shark. Then I realized that my kids were still on shore, and that I couldn't do that to my kids," he said.He also said his desire to engage in BDSM emerged after he was molested by a youth pastor at age 13, citing a need for "control.""What that did for me was it introduced sexuality into my life in a way that it was completely out of my control," Hammer said. "I was powerless in the situation. I had no agency in the situation. My interests then went to: I want to have control in the situation, sexually."Hammer denied Angelova's rape allegation. Instead, he told Air Mail that the two engaged in a "scene" that they planned together over Facebook Messenger. He called the encounter a "consensual non-consent scene."While he admitted to being emotionally abusive to his partners, he denied any criminal wrongdoing."I'm here to own my mistakes, take accountability for the fact that I was an asshole, that I was selfish, that I used people to make me feel better, and when I was done, moved on. And treated people more poorly than they should have been treated," he said.<div type="image" title="Armie Hammer in black hoodie and hat" height="509" width="1106" msid="111066331" hostid="261" sizebytes="34438"></div><h2>Hammer said he's sober during an interview on the "Painful Lessons" podcast</h2>In June 2024, Hammer appeared on the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/armie-hammer-once-thought-swimming-out-to-sea-kill-himself-2024-6">"Painful Lessons" podcast</a> hosted by his friend and self-described "longtime Armie pal" Tyler Ramsey to once again speak about addiction and how the previous allegations against him led to a "<a href="https://people.com/armie-hammer-calls-cannibal-allegations-bizarre-led-to-career-death-8664210" target="_blank" rel="noopener">career death</a>."Hammer said he attempted a "half-assed suicide attempt" but didn't go through with it because he thought about his two children."I hit really dark low points," Hammer told Ramsey. "There was a time where I was standing on the shore, and I just looked out at the ocean, and I thought, 'Yep, this is it.' And I just swam out really fucking far, and I thought, 'You know what, like I'm — I'm done, like there's nothing back there for me,'" Hammer said.Hammer denied rumors that he is a cannibal, calling them "<a href="https://people.com/armie-hammer-calls-cannibal-allegations-bizarre-led-to-career-death-8664210" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bizarre,</a>" and said he's now sober after doing an extended stint in rehab."I'm now at a place in my life where I'm really grateful for every single bit of it," <a href="https://people.com/armie-hammer-calls-cannibal-allegations-bizarre-led-to-career-death-8664210" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hammer said</a>, looking back on the past few years, "because where I was in my life before all of that stuff happened to me I didn't feel good."Moises Mendez II and Gabi Stevenson contributed to previous versions of this post.

Armie Hammer called the sexual abuse allegations against him 'career death.' Here's a timeline of the actor's controversial fall from grace.

More than one in five people (almost 23 per cent) in employment worldwide have experienced <keyword id="15709508" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="violence-and-harassment-at-work" source="Orion">violence and harassment at work</keyword>, whether physical, psychological or sexual, according to a recent survey conducted by the International Labour Organization (ILO) and its partners. The survey, titled 'Experiences of Violence and Harassment at Work: A global first survey', published on Monday, found that only half of victims worldwide had disclosed their experiences to someone else, and often only after they had suffered more than one form of violence and harassment, reports Xinhua news agency. The most common reasons given for non-disclosure were "waste of time" and "fear for their reputation", the survey found, adding that women were more likely to share their experiences than men (60.7 per cent compared to 50.1 per cent). Globally, 17.9 per cent of employed men and women said they had experienced psychological violence and harassment in their working life, and 8.5 per cent had faced physical violence and harassment, with more men than women experiencing this. According to the survey, 6.3 per cent of the respondents reported facing sexual violence and harassment, with women being particularly exposed. The groups that the survey found most likely to be affected by different types of violence and harassment included youth, migrant workers, and salaried women and men. Young women were twice as likely as young men to have faced sexual violence and harassment, and migrant women were almost twice as likely as non-migrant women to report sexual violence and harassment. More than three out of five victims said they had experienced violence and harassment at work multiple times, and for the majority, the most recent incident took place within the last five years. The ILO recommends that countries extend and update mechanisms to effectively prevent and manage violence and harassment in the world of work, increase awareness in this regard, and at the same time enhance the capacity of institutions at all levels to deliver effective prevention, remediation and support, to build people's trust in justice and ensure victims are supported. The survey is based on interviews conducted in 2021 with nearly 75,000 employed individuals aged 15 years or older in 121 countries and territories.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A former model filed a lawsuit on Tuesday accusing Sean 'Diddy' Combs of sexual assault.</li><li>Crystal McKinney said in the lawsuit that Combs assaulted her after a Men's Fashion Week event in 2003.</li></ul>A former model filed a lawsuit Tuesday, accusing embattled music mogul <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sean-diddy-combs-leaked-video-apology-2024-5">Sean "Diddy" Combs</a> of sexually assaulting her in 2003.Crystal McKinney, according to a lawsuit obtained by Business Insider, met Combs at a 2003 Men's Fashion Week event in Manhattan when she was 22. According to the lawsuit, McKinney was introduced to Combs by a fashion designer who believed Combs could "advance her modeling career."The suit, filed in New York's Southern District Court, alleged Combs had been "coming on to plaintiff in a sexually suggestive manner" at the restaurant they were dining at."Combs also plied plaintiff with alcohol throughout the dinner as he repeatedly refilled her glass with wine," the suit said.According to the lawsuit, McKinney was invited back to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/diddy-earnings-net-worth-billionaire-hip-hops-richest-business-men-2024-3">Combs' recording studio</a> and given what she believed to be laced marijuana. The suit alleged that Combs began kissing her nonconsensually and pointed to his crotch, asking that she "suck it." After she refused, Combs shoved her head down to force her to perform oral sex on him, according to the lawsuit.According to the lawsuit, she became unconscious and later woke up in a cab.McKinney is suing Combs under the NYC Victims Of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act, a city law that allows for civil suits to be filed within a two-year look-back period, and she is asking for a jury trial. She is seeking an unspecified amount of damages for "mental and emotional injury, distress, pain and suffering and injury to her reputation."Representatives for Combs did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Attorneys for McKinney declined to comment.Combs faces lawsuits from four other people: a former employee and three women have accused Combs of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/diddy-gang-raped-high-schooler-lawsuit-alleges-2023-12">sexual assault</a>, abuse, drugging, and other acts of sexual misconduct. One woman said in her suit filed in December that Combs "sex trafficked and gang raped" her as a 17-year-old in 2003.Combs denied the previous allegations on Instagram and declared he would "fight for my name, my family and for the truth.""For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy," he said. "Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday."A sixth lawsuit, filed in November by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sean-diddy-combs-cassie-relationship-timeline-2023-11">Comb's ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura</a>, accused the mogul of rape and abuse while they were together for over a decade. The two parties settled the lawsuit a day after it was filed, the Associated Press reported.On Friday, CNN published 2016 surveillance footage that appeared to show <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sean-diddy-combs-apologizes-video-cassie-ventura-assault-2024-5">Combs assaulting Ventura</a> in a Los Angeles Hotel. Combs later released an apology, calling his actions "inexcusable" — though he didn't specify which actions he was apologizing for, nor did he mention Ventura's name.On March 25, the Department of Homeland Security <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sean-diddy-combs-los-angeles-miami-home-raided-report-2024-3">raided Combs' Los Angeles and Miami homes.</a> He has not been charged with any crime related to that raid.In a previous statement to Business Insider, Aaron Dyer, a lawyer for Combs, called the search a "gross overuse of military-level force.""There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations," Dyer said. "Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name."

A former model accused Diddy in a new lawsuit of sexually assaulting and drugging her in 2003. He's now facing 5 suits.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A new report from the CDC shows nearly 60% of teenage girls feel persistently sad or hopeless.</li><li>Their sadness rate is double that of teenage boys. </li></ul>When asked, most teenage girls across the US will tell you: there have been times when they've felt so persistently sad, so hopeless, that they weren't able to go about life as usual for weeks on end. That's according to stark new data released Monday from the <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/data/yrbs/pdf/YRBS_Data-Summary-Trends_Report2023_508.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.</a> The number of high school girls who said they were persistently sad or hopeless soared to almost 60% over the 10 year period from 2011 to 2021, the agency said.Reports of persistent sadness and hopelessness among teen girls are now double those of boys their age. The finding follows many years of increases in <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/depression-rates-by-age-young-people-2019-3">depression</a> and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/depression-rates-by-age-young-people-2019-3">suicidality</a> among teen girls, which has led some to sound the alarm about an all-out <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/23/health/mental-health-crisis-teens.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mental health crisis</a> among young women nationwide. Experts on a CDC briefing call said there is no one thing that is single-handedly causing these increases, but rather that a complicated web of factors, including school stressors, social isolation prompted by the pandemic, as well as social media and the changing nature of how people interact with one another may all be contributing factors.<div type="image" title="cdc charts - 10 year trends in sadness, suicide, female v male" height="396" width="724" msid="97885992" hostid="261"></div>Nearly two in every three teen girls (57%) surveyed said "yes" when they were asked if, over the course of the last year, they'd ever felt "so sad or hopeless almost every day for two weeks or more in a row" that they "stopped doing some usual activities." Only about one in three teen boys (29%) said the same. The new <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/data/yrbs/index.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CDC report</a>, taken from a survey of more than 17,500 students across 152 US high schools, both public and private, said that trends of increasing persistent sadness and hopelessness applied to "large percentages of students across all racial and ethnic groups." It is possible that boys simply don't report or express sadness in quite the same way that girls do: other recent CDC-funded research on adult men showed that many adult males <a href="https://www.insider.com/man-therapy-study-men-depression-symptoms-can-be-anger-irritability-2021-6">who were clinically depressed never reported feeling hopeless</a>, but instead said they felt angry, and acted irritably as a result. But, there are tell-tale signs that a disparity in mental health between teen boys and teen girls is real. In addition to their escalating rates of sadness and hopelessness, teens girls were also more likely to say they'd considered suicide than teen boys:<div type="image" title="cdc charts - 10 year trends in sadness, suicide, female v male" height="386" width="720" msid="97885995" hostid="261"></div>And the percentage of teen girls who attempted suicide in 2021 was nearly double that of their male peers: <div type="image" title="cdc charts - 10 year trends in sadness, suicide, female v male" height="391" width="719" msid="97885999" hostid="261"></div><h2>Young women are also reporting higher rates of sexual violence, and more forced sex</h2>The increases in sadness and suicide ideation come at a time when more young women are also reporting troubling instances of sexual violence and forced sex. <div type="image" title="cdc charts - 10 year trends in sadness, suicide, female v male" height="390" width="717" msid="97886001" hostid="261"></div>Studies have shown that sexual violence and forced sex are <a href="https://www.rainn.org/effects-sexual-violence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">associated with a wide array of mental health issues</a>, as well as substance use, and long-term physical health issues.Kathleen Ethier, who directs the CDC's Division of Adolescent and School Health said that the number of teen girls reporting ever being forced to have sex is a number that's been consistently high, hovering above 10% since 2011, but it jumped further between 2019 and 2021."14% of teen girls had been physically forced to have sex when they did not want to," she said during a call with reporters on Monday. "Think about what I just said: For every 10 teenage girls you know, at least one of them, and probably more, has been raped. This tragedy cannot continue."Forced sex rates are especially high for <a href="https://www.nicoa.org/national-american-indian-and-alaska-native-hope-for-life-day/#:~:text=For%20Native%20youth%20ages%2010%20to%2024%2C%20suicide%20is%20the%20second%20leading%20cause%20of%20death%3B%20and%20the%20Native%20youth%20suicide%20rate%20is%202.5%20times%20higher%20than%20the%20overall%20national%20average%2C%20making%20these%20rates%20the%20highest%20across%20all%20ethnic%20and%20racial%20groups." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Native students</a> and for <a href="https://www.thetrevorproject.org/survey-2022/#intro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LGBTQ+ students</a>, who also have some of the highest suicide rates in the country. <div type="image" title="cdc chart - percentage of teens forced to have sex" height="763" width="738" msid="97886007" hostid="261"></div>"High school should be a time for trailblazing, not trauma," Dr. Debra Houry, the CDC's acting principal deputy director, said in a release.
