Was in abundance. I also grew up in a space that offered free flowing interaction with nature in a home that had big fruit bearing trees, so climbing trees was a daily ritual which made my childhood so rich and so abundant and beautiful. While you were growing up in the lap of nature, were there talks around Gender Equality as well in yourfamily . There werent any, so to say, direct conversations about it but i must admit that i didnt feel any different from my male cousins or, you know lets just say there were no special or different rules for me while i was growing up. I was encouraged to do everything that my male cousins were doing. Actually, all of my parents felt and believed that i was able to and was capable of doing whatever i wanted and that i must, you know, pursue the full potential of my being in life. Even the school i went to didnt really segregate or differentiate between girls and boys, so we were all Playing Football with the boys, we were playing basketball with the
Ive arrived in the nick of time. After weeks of mild weather, the slovenian mountains have just seen their first big dump of snow this winter.

Friday that a large number of people had been found with bullet wounds. The un is calling for a full investigation into what happened. Our special correspondent fergal keane, working with bbc verify, spent the day piecing together more details of what happened. His report contains some distressing images. Although death is everywhere now in gaza, they had come thinking they would find aid to keep their families alive. Then shots ripped through the night. Shots crack through the night.
