The idea that a claim for international protection can be rejected on the basis that the claimant behave 'discreetly' in their country of origin has remained resilient in asylum claims based on sexual orientation, but also other grounds of claim. This is significant because requiring an asylum-seeker to forgo the reason for which they are persecuted questions the very rationale of refugee protection. This book represents the first principled examination of concealment in refugee law. Janna Wessels connects the different strands of the long-standing debate in both common and civil law jurisdictions and scholarship concerning the question of whether and under which circumstances a claimant must conceal to avoid persecution. In so doing, Wessels uncovers a fundamental tension at the core of the refugee concept. By using sexuality as a lens, this study breaks new ground regarding sexual orientation claims and wider issues surrounding the refugee definition

Modern medicine in England as we know it today is chiefly the product of the scientific developments of the nineteenth century. These advances included improved sanitation, the acceptance of the germ theory of disease as a result of the emergence of microbiology, and the advent of painless and routine surgical procedures. How then did medicine evolve in Lancaster during the nineteenth century? The focus here is the history of medicine in Lancaster and a community of practice amongst a few medical professionals who shaped Lancaster's medical landscape. The reader will be introduced to these remarkable medical men and their names will gradually become familiar. Many of these individuals were second and even third generation surgeons and physicians. Background to these pioneers, as well as their successes and failures, is sketched within the context of Lancaster's socio-economic environment and growth as an industrial town. This volume also marks the main medical events in Lancaster, including the establishment of a Dispensary, which evolved into the Royal Lancaster Infirmary, the Public Health movement and the rise of the Asylums.

Dieses Buch wurde von einer Frau geschrieben, die mit 18 Jahren ungewollt schwanger wurde. Aus einer tiefen Verzweiflung heraus entschied sie sich zur Abtreibung. Mit dieser Entscheidung begann für sie ein langer Leidensweg. Sie sagt heute, dass mit dem Tod ihres Kindes ihre Seele tief verletzt wurde. Ein stummer Schrei in ihr hörte nie auf, nach ihrem verlorenen Kind zu rufen. Nach Jahrzehnten des Schweigens konnte sie endlich Heilung im Glauben und in einer christlich orientierten psychotherapeutischen Behandlung finden. Sie arbeitet heute im Lebensschutz und möchte Frauen helfen, die ungewollt schwanger geworden sind. Jedes ungeborene Leben, das mit der Befruchtung der Eizelle beginnt, ist ein Geschenk Gottes für diese Welt. Das ist ihre feste Überzeugung.
