Even the most motivated women entrepreneurs can struggle with deciding on the right business idea. For some budding entrepreneurs, ideas flow freely but never get off the ground.

She was drugged, repeatedly raped and sodomized with an “unspecified object” so violently that she eventually bled out from her internal injuries. Three suspects have been arrested and are still in custody. The prosecutor on the case, María Isabel Sánchez, told Telam news agency that the assailants washed her body and cleaned her clothing before dropping her off at a local clinic — and running away. “We can all be vulnerable and suffer what happened to this girl — all of us, our entire gender,” said Gergina Elcano, a demonstrator in…
