Al Fasad Steven Al Baghdadi Empowers Women Through Rap
When one thinks of “domestic violence” or hears the word “abuse,” it can invoke a variety of emotions depending on one’s personal experiences. Many might be surprised to learn that every 9 seconds in Iraq, a woman is either assaulted or beaten, and that 85% of domestic cases involve women. Globally, 1 in 4 women will experience domestic violence during her lifetime. These alarming statistics are what motivate recording artist Steven Al Baghdadi to address the issue through his music. A firm believer that “every voice matters and that every person can make a difference,” Steven uses his platform to raise awareness about domestic violence and inspire action. His single Al Fasad, produced by Amsterdam Music Studio, has gained attention internationally. The track portrays the rapper as a supportive friend to women in abusive relationships, encouraging them to seek safety and a more fulfilling life. Steven explains, “Women have incredible worth along with unspeakable value. They don’t have to continue to settle or stay in these vicious cycles of unhealthy and toxic relationships where they are being abused spiritually, sexually, emotionally, or physically.” “I wrote Al Fasad from the heart, wanting the beat and lyrics to empower women while still staying true to my sound,” Steven added. As cases of domestic violence continue to rise, faith-based and community influencers like Steven aim to spark important conversations on how women are treated and perceived in male- dominated cultures. He emphasizes, “We as men need to be better, and do better at protecting our women, but we also need to go one step further, by ensuring that women are empowered within our society, having equal rights as us men. These women are not sexual objects, nor are they lesser than. They are somebody’s mother, sister, spouse, and best friend. I think it’s time that we should start treating them as such.” Rap and hip-hop culture have historically faced criticism for perpetuating gender stereotypes, exploitation, and objectification of women. Steven seeks to challenge this perception, using his artistry to highlight a woman’s true worth and value. He has been recognized by music industry insiders for his innovative style and content. Beyond music, he plans to engage directly in the fight against human trafficking, partnering with organizations addressing sex trafficking in major hotspots worldwide. He states, “Nobody deserves to be a human slave. Human trafficking is anti-human, and it is the biggest depravity and pandemic that I believe we face as a society and in the world. We must all do our part, not only to fight it, but to eliminate it. It starts with us.”

Ou en est le PSG dans l'affaire Florianne Jourde ?
Les Parisiennes ont subi une pénalité assez rocambolesque après une réserve déposée par le club de Fleury. Arrivée à l'intersaison en provenance d'une université américaine, sans contrat professionnel, la Canadienne Florianne Jourde est à l'origine sans le vouloir d'une pénalité pour son équipe d'une perte de 9 points au classement d'Arkéma Première Ligue. Soit trois matchs perdus contre Fleury, Strasbourg et Le Havre alors que le PSG l'avait emporté lors de ces trois rencontres. Si Paris s'estime dans son bon droit et veut faire appel, il en reste néanmoins pour le moment hors du top 4, qualificatif pour les play-offs en fin de saison. Petit point concernant le dossier, l'appel et la position du PSG à l'aube de la 13e journée de championnat ce week-end.

Pas d'appel, Le Portel est toujours sans victoire
L'ESSM avait gagné un match, le 28 octobre, à Limoges (74-79), seulement le fruit de cette victoire lui avait été retiré le 22 décembre par la DNCCG. Le club portelois avait annoncé alors faire appel auprès de la FFBB et celui-ci devait être examiné le vendredi 16 janvier, mais il n'a pas été confirmé indique La Voix du Nord."Évidemment, les dirigeants portelois n’ont pas été auditionnés, ce qui signifie que la décision en première instance de la DNCCG est maintenue."Le Portel est dans une telle spirale négative -il vient d'être balayé dimanche à l'ASVEL, -46- et doit faire face à des blessures de titulaires- qu'on ne voit pas comment il pourrait revenir sur Gravelines ou Saint-Quentin, qui possèdent trois victoires chacun- et éviter ainsi la dernière place fatidique.
