Is hope for help a distant dream? By: Amil Imani The passion for power to dominate, to control and, to rule others is an ancient impulse.

time captured in Isfahan's portrait photography Sent by: D.K.
BEIRUT: In one picture, a young woman strikes a playful pose in a photographer's studio. With lustrous black hair and a coy smile, she wears a man's suit jacket over a full-skirted white dress. She has one hand plunged rakishly into her pocket and one hip extended suggestively toward the camera. Exaggerating the feminine and masculine attributes of body language, her stance is that of a dancer and gangster at once. (Read More) Street Children in Iran by: Mori Aminmansour Street children are primarily an urban phenomenon; poverty drives people in search of better opportunities to urban areas, where family ties are looser, adult supervision less, and social safety nets often nonexistent.
