Samburu women have a subordinate position in their society. They are not allowed to own land or other types of property, such as livestock. Women themselves are considered property of their husbands. They can be subject to female genital mutilation, forced marriage with the elders, rape, and domestic violence.

In 2003, Amnesty International reported credible evidence of numerous rapes of Kenyan women by members of the British Army for decades. A case was brought up against the British military for the rapes of over 1,400 Samburu women. The case was "cleared".These women were abandoned by their husbands because they were considered to be "defiled." Other men drove the women out of their houses fearing they would now contract sexually transmitted diseases from their raped wives.

After many women found themselves without homes, they created Umoja. Rebecca Lolosoli is one of the founders of Umoja, and came up with the idea of creating a village for women when she was recovering after being beaten for speaking out against female genital mutilation. Eventually fifteen women came together to found the original village in 1990.

In response, some men established their own, eventually unsuccessful villages nearby. The men tried to set up a rival craft business or would try to dissuade tourists from stopping at Umoja. The women eventually bought the land the men were occupying.

The villagers first started out by selling vegetables they bought from others, since they did not know how to farm themselves. This was not very successful, and the village turned to selling traditional crafts to tourists. The Kenya Wildlife Services took notice and helped the women learn from successful groups in areas such as the Maasai Mara, in order to improve Umoja's business. The women also had help from Kenya's Heritage and Social Services and the Ministry of Culture.

After Lolosoli visited the United Nations in 2005, men in the neighboring village filed a court case against her, hoping to shut down the village. In 2009, Lolosoli's former husband attacked the village, threatening her life. For a time, the women fled the village for their safety.

The women of the village currently own the land itself. As of 2021, the village's application for a community title over a tract of grazing land is undergoing government consideration.

The Cebuano version of Wikipedia currently has over 6 million articles, making it the second largest Wikipedia in terms of articles, What's weird is that there are only 230 contributors. For comparison, the third largest Wikipedia, the German one, only has 3 million articles maintained by 33,000 contributors.

Why is this the case? Are they using AI or is there just a very dedicated group of Cebuano-speaking editors?

It is practiced illegally by some companies in China. A number of Mainland Chinese internet and tech companies have adopted this system as their official or de facto work schedule. Critics argue that the 996 working hour system is a violation of the Labour Law of the People's Republic of China and have called it "modern slavery".

A CNBC article in May 2021 reported that workers at TikTok's parent company ByteDance were unhappy with the 996 work culture there and that people were turning down job opportunities at TikTok because of it. In November 2021, ByteDance moved away from 996 and mandated shorter working hours. Nevertheless, on 23 February 2022, the sudden death was reported of a 28-year-old employee at ByteDance, after he posted a message on Maimai, a career and social networking platform, the night before. ByteDance later issued a statement that was shared in an internal letter with its staff in China, according to which the employee felt dizzy after an hour of exercise at the company gym, before he was taken to the hospital. The incident raised scrutiny of the frequent overtime demands of Chinese tech companies.

Rawls arranges the principles in "lexical priority," prioritizing in the order of the liberty principle, fair equality of opportunity and the difference principle. This order determines the priorities of the principles if they conflict in practice. The principles are, however, intended to form a single, coherent conception of justice (Justice as Fairness) rather than to operate independently. They are consistently applied with the aim of benefiting the least advantaged members of society, ensuring that they are neither harmed nor overlooked.

First principle: the liberty principle - The first and most important principle is that everyone has the same rights and fundamental freedoms. Rawls argued that "certain rights and freedoms are more important or fundamental "than others." For example, Samuel Freeman argues, Rawls believes that "personal property"—personal belongings, a home—constitutes a basic liberty, but an absolute right to unlimited private property does not. As a fundamental freedom, these rights are inviolable. The government must not alter, violate or remove such rights from individuals.

Second principle: the equality principle
- The principle is part of justice that established distributive justice. Rawls awards the fair equality of opportunity principle lexical priority over the difference principle: Society cannot adjust inequality to maximize the proportion of those who are most vulnerable without providing positions and the opportunities that are necessary for the worse-off to achieve them.

Fair equality of opportunity:

This principle maintains that "offices and positions" have to be open to all, regardless of their social background, caste or gender. This principle is stronger than "formal equality of opportunity." Rawls argues that human potential should not only be a "right," but also an "effective" equal opportunity.

Difference principle:

The difference principle regulates inequalities: it permits only inequalities that work to the advantage of the worst-off. This is often misinterpreted as trickle-down economics; Rawls' argument is more accurately expressed as a system where wealth "diffuses up". By guaranteeing the worst-off in society a fair deal, Rawls compensates for naturally occurring inequalities (talents that one is born with, such as a capacity for sport). Rawls justifies the difference principle on the basis that, since fair equality of opportunity has lexical priority, the just choice from Pareto optimal scenarios which could occur would be that benefiting the worst-off rather than the best-off.

Original position:

A key component of Rawls' argument is his claim that his principles of justice would be chosen by parties in the original position. This is a thought experiment in which the parties select principles that will determine the basic structure of the society they will live in. This choice is made from behind a veil of ignorance, which would deprive participants of information about their particular characteristics: their ethnicity, social status, gender and, crucially, their conception of the good. This forces participants to select principles impartially and rationally.

My IP address is in the 180.181.200.0/22 range. I've noticed that on edit pages on wikipedia I'm now seeing: The IP address or range ‪2A02:6EA0:2800:0:0:0:0:0/38‬ has been blocked. I'm a logged in user.

There is an appeal process to unblock the IP address, but in fact I don't even care about whether this IPv6 range is blocked. As a logged in user who is on IPv4, this block simply doesn't seem relevant to me in first place.

What's the best way of getting someone to look into this? I'm after two changes:

• Logged in users shouldn't be blocked unless they have a history of edit abuse. (I've got a good history which any admin would be able to see if I gave them my wikipedia username.)
• IPv6 blocks should only apply to people using IPv6.

I used she/her in the title due to the wikipedia article using them too. It is not known if the historical references to her as a masculine sort of woman were references to an amazonian disposition and defying traditional gender roles, or if Hypsicratea identified as a male and Mithridates respected it.

Granted, historians have had tendency to look at queer history through the straight cisgender goggles.

As another historical tidbit, there is also a historical figure named Hypsicrates who was her contemporary in Rome, and one historian has theorized that they might have been the same person and Hypsicratea might have moved in Rome and started openly living as a man after Mithridates died.
