Goðafoss waterfall, Iceland
Goðafoss is one of hundreds of amazing waterfalls in Iceland. And although it isn’t the island's highest waterfall – that would be Morsarfoss at 240 metres – or most powerful (the thundering Dettifoss), Goðafoss has its own story to tell.
An Icelandic legend claims that in 1000 CE, a well-respected pagan priest and chieftain named Thorgeir Thorkelsson was tasked with deciding if Iceland was to become a Christian nation or if it would continue to worship the ancient Nordic gods. The peace of the island was at stake, with fierce advocates on each side. Thorgeir decided in favour of Christianity, but with the warning that those who chose to continue to recognise the old gods would not be punished so long as they converted. This tale, likely created in the nineteenth century, says that after Thorgeir converted to Christianity he returned to his home near Goðafoss and threw his statues of the Norse gods into the waterfall, which is said to have angered the old gods so much that they split the waterfall in two.

【数百人抗议墨西哥对妇女的暴力行为】
本周三,墨西哥亡灵节的第二天,数百人高举写有被谋杀妇女名字的十字架,在墨西哥首都游行,抗议在全国范围内杀害女性的案件稳步增加的情况下对妇女的暴力行为。
组织者高呼“我们是你的声音”,用扩音器朗读墨西哥城市中心被谋杀妇女的名字。
根据 10 月份公布的政府数据,今年 1 月至 9 月期间,约有 762 名妇女被谋杀,比 2020 年同期增加了 5%。这份上升延续了 2015 年至 2020 年 130% 的杀戮女性数量的增长,引发了广泛的抗议活动,呼吁采取紧急行动制止暴力。
从 2015 年到 2018 年,也就是安德烈斯·曼努埃尔·洛佩斯·奥夫拉多尔总统上任的那一年,每年杀害女性的人数从 427 起增加到 900 多起,并且在他的执政期间每年都在增加。
当天早些时候,安全部长 Rosa Icela Rodriguez 表示今年 8 月至 9 月期间杀害女性的人数有所下降,并补充说政府已在墨西哥各地开设了 73 个妇女司法中心,以帮助遭受暴力侵害的女性。
2020 年,墨西哥与暴力侵害妇女行为有关的紧急呼叫增加了 30% 以上,因为 COVID-19 封锁使家庭被困在家里。
