In addition to causalities in materials and human life, war caused observable accumulating social and psychological damages. All over Yemen, psychological disorders prevalence became risks and tragedies threat. According to a study of Family counselling and Development Foundation (FCDF), 19.5% of Yemenis, which represents a large shocking number, sufer from psychological disorder. Te biggest problem is that the longer the war lasts, the bigger the number becomes. Regrettably, psychological disorders will last for longer time even afer the war is over and guns are fallen silent. It is crystal clear that countries previously sufered from wars and conficts remained sufering from war atrocious impacts for a long time, especially among children and mothers. Under the cruel circumstances in Yemen, FCDF had to play a role in the reduction of war risks and damages. It carried out many activities and events by which it successfully managed to contain a lot of war damages and impacts in the social and psychological aspects in particular. In this issue of the counselling and development brochure, readers will review FCDF achievements of works cited with real numbers. Despite of severe lack of resources and hard conditions, FCDF, leaders and staf managed to overcome many hardships and obstacles by their well and determination.

  • State's Responses As of 8.21.18 (00041438).DOCX
    DEMOCRACY DIMINISHED: STATE AND LOCAL THREATS TO VOTING POST‐SHELBY COUNTY, ALABAMA V. HOLDER As of May 18, 2021 Introduction For nearly 50 years, Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) required certain jurisdictions (including states, counties, cities, and towns) with a history of chronic racial discrimination in voting to submit all proposed voting changes to the U.S. Department of Justice (U.S. DOJ) or a federal court in Washington, D.C. for pre- approval. This requirement is commonly known as “preclearance.” Section 5 preclearance served as our democracy’s discrimination checkpoint by halting discriminatory voting changes before they were implemented. It protected Black, Latinx, Asian, Native American, and Alaskan Native voters from racial discrimination in voting in the states and localities—mostly in the South—with a history of the most entrenched and adaptive forms of racial discrimination in voting. Section 5 placed the burden of proof, time, and expense1 on the covered state or locality to demonstrate that a proposed voting change was not discriminatory before that change went into effect and could harm vulnerable populations. Section 4(b) of the VRA, the coverage provision, authorized Congress to determine which jurisdictions should be “covered” and, thus, were required to seek preclearance. Preclearance applied to nine states (Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia) and a number of counties, cities, and towns in six partially covered states (California, Florida, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, and South Dakota). On June 25, 2013, the Supreme Court of the United States immobilized the preclearance process in Shelby County, Alabama v.

    Arab-Americans and Muslim-Americans Then and Now: From Immigration and Assimilation to Political Activism and Education by Monica Mona Eraqi A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education (Curriculum and Practice) in the University of Michigan - Dearborn 2014 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Julie Ann Taylor, Chair Associate Professor Christopher Burke Assistant Professor Maiyoua Vang ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful I am extremely grateful to the many people that influenced my life, inspired me to pursue a doctorate, and have contributed to my success throughout this long journey. First, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to my committee chair, Dr. Julie Ann Taylor. Dr. Taylor's vision and critical analysis have helped to shape my research, which have taken my studies to new heights I had not previously considered. Her passion for the social studies and Arab-American and Muslim-American studies help me remember the true purpose of studying and teaching history. I would also like to thank my committee member Dr. Maiyoua Vang. Dr. Vang is a true multiculturalist and her determination and ambition were a constant reminder and motivation as to why multicultural education is vital to student learning. At times, Dr. Vang could read my mind and provide me with the inspiration and direction for my dissertation. It was refreshing to be around those who care as deeply as I do about education. I one day hope to be as inspirational as both of these women. Additionally, I would like to thank Dr.
