More than 50 speakers from State delegations and an observer mission took the floor to debate children’s rights two days after Anthony Lake, the executive director of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) called for urgent action to end the marginalization of the world’s forgotten children — namely girls, children with disabilities and the most isolated and impoverished youth. To that end, speakers throughout the day-long debate highlighted initiatives from countries of every size, region and level of social and economic development that aim to bolster the basic rights of children to health, education and a life free from violence. Delegations pointed to specific policies to foster wider access for girls and disabled children to schools and basic health services, as well as counselling. They also outlined newly enacted anti-trafficking laws and the establishment of help lines and shelters for child victims of domestic violence. Among others outlining their national progress, the representative of Niger said her countryhad reformed its child protection system, including by providing prenatal medical care and child care from birth to age 5 free of charge, expanding social services for children with disabilities, and increasing education funding. But despite devoting substantial resources to children, Niger still had significant work to do to further protect children, she said. To zero in on outstanding issues, Indonesia’s delegate said institutional and legislative frameworks, as well as legal sectors, should be strengthened, while a comprehensive approach that involved all stakeholders, including children themselves, should be promoted. Noting that children’s well-being was closely tied to efforts to promote women’s rights and gender equality, he said Governments must continue to invest in children to ensure their productivity for decades to come. Expressing alarm at the hundreds of thousands of children dragged into war and conflict and the millions more who suffered violence, abuse and exploitation on a daily basis, delegations emphasized the need for practical mechanisms to curb such mistreatment. “These are issues of concern and warrant the adoption and implementation of a protective legislative framework that guarantees the protection of the rights of children and criminalizes such offences,” the Director of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and Vulnerable Groups of South Africa’s Department of International Relations and Cooperation said. 1 of 19 Costa Rica’s representative said violence against children must be addressed in the context of emerging challenges posed by drug trafficking and organized crime in Central America. He stressed that any system seeking to protect children from violence must account for the vulnerabilities of all children, including those with disabilities. Emphatically underlining the link between child-related issues and the development agenda, Malaysia’s representative said many of the problems facing children in developing countries were closely related to under-development, poverty and conflict. Those problems could not be solved, he argued, unless the underlying development issues were seriously addressed and developing countries were provided with the required resources and assistance. To that end, a number of delegates highlighted links between poverty and child labour, with some stressing that national development plans must include a focus on children . Others called for greater emphasis on providing a quality education to ensure that children had the tools necessary to further their development . As one of the world’s biggest cocoa producers, the representative of Côte d’Ivoire called particular attention to the use of child labour in cocoa production, saying that while his country was working to end that practice, it was a symptom of poverty and social inequality. “Combating poverty is the best way of reducing and eliminating the worst forms of child labour in Côte d’Ivoire”, he said, noting that, among other things, schools and community health centres were being built in cocoa-producing areas, while alternative income-generating activities were also being created. Among several youth delegates taking the floor today, the youth representative of the Republic of Korea said one measure of success of efforts to better realize children’s rights would be the degree to which they encouraged the younger generation’s involvement in planning and implementing national action. Real change happened at the local level, where reality met the real energy-creators, the youth, she said. Testifying to the ability of youth to change Government policies, Tunisia’s representative young Tunisians were the ones who successfully protested responsibly for their rights and democracy earlier this year. They broke down the wall of silence and despair, which had prevented them from dreaming of, much less enjoying, their most basic rights. Today, all ages would work together to build a balanced society in Tunisia, he said. Also participating in the discussion today were delegates from the Republic of Korea, the United Arab Emirates, Myanmar, Iraq, Bolivia, Oman, Lebanon, Mozambique, Singapore, Jordan, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Haiti, Kuwait, Mauritania, Morocco, Monaco, Sierra Leone, Germany, Swaziland, Botswana, Angola, Iceland, Trinidad and Tobago, United Republic of Tanzania, San Marino, Viet Nam, Burkina Faso, Montenegro, Ethiopia, Maldives, Nepal, Serbia, Eritrea, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Djibouti, Philippines, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Iran and Timor-Leste. An observer from the Holy See also spoke, as did a youth delegate from Azerbaijan. The Third Committee will reconvene at 10 a.m. Monday, 17 October, to conclude its debate on children’s rights before beginning its discussion on the rights of indigenous peoples. Background The Third Committee (Social, Humanitarian and Cultural) met today to continue its discussion on the promotion and protection of the rights of children. (For more information, please see Press Release GA/SHC/4010 .) Statements JUNG JIN HO ( Republic of Korea ) said his country shared growing concern over the inequity facing children around the world. Regional and local disparities in health, including child mortality and fight 2 of 19 against diseases, had not been properly addressed. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) had helped address that issue, but there needed to be further assistance and support to “the most vulnerable of the vulnerables”. The Republic of Korea had strengthened its efforts to address those needs, particularly with its Act on the Welfare of Children with Disabilities, which focused on the right to education of the most vulnerable. PU-REUM YIM, youth representative of the Republic of Korea , said a measure of success of these efforts would be the degree to which they encouraged the younger generation’s involvement in the planning and implementation of national actions. Real change happened at the local level, where reality met the real energy-creators, the youth, she said. National and local Governments, as well as regional institutions, must encourage the youth, while non-governmental organizations must recruit them, taking their needs and ideas into account and fully bringing out their potential. SAEED AL SIRI ( United Arab Emirates ) said the challenges facing the United Nations in protecting and promoting children’s rights were doubled after the recent global crises and his Government would continue supporting the Organization, in that regard. Aware that the children of today were the men and women of the future, his Government was coordinating domestic policy with international initiatives. It had ratified a number of child-focused conventions, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the International Labour Organization Minimum Age Convention, among others. It had also signed the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and had enacted laws and set up institutional machinery to ensure the care of children under those frameworks, including laws on combating trafficking in persons. Work was ongoing to develop a law for children that would be an instrument to help care for children and to guide all national programmes. He said that, in terms of education, the Emirates were providing free education, while further developing the quality of the schooling provided. Mortality rates for children under 5 years of age had decreased by 60 per cent, and no cases of diphtheria or polio had been recorded in the last two decades. Special centres for juvenile delinquents had been established to provide training and social orientation. His Government was keen on contributing

The work of the seven years since True Father's ascension now was coming to its climax. To accomplish this, I declared a 40-day course, from mid-November to the year's end, as a course to restore Canaan in heaven and on earth. In various parts of the world there are people who know me as the Mother of humankind, the Mother of peace, the universal Mother. Hence, despite tremendous challenges, my resolve for the sake of our Heavenly Parent, heaven's providence and all humanity is steadfast. It is rooted in the pledge I made as I bowed my head before True Father's holy body: "I will establish Cheon Il Guk on earth." *** The 40-day course began in Cambodia.

  • Women, Agency, and the State in Guinea
    Women, Agency, and the State in Guinea This book examines how women in Guinea articulate themselves politically within and outside institutional politics. It documents the everyday practices that local female actors adopt to deal with the continuous economic, political, and social insecurities that emerge in times of political transformations. Carole Ammann argues that women’s political articulations in Muslim Guinea do not primarily take place within women’s associations or institu- tional politics such as political parties; but instead women’s silent forms of politics manifest in their daily agency, that is, when they make a living, study, marry, meet friends, raise their children, and do household chores. The book also analyses the relationship between the female population and the local authorities, and discusses when and why women’s claim making enjoys legiti- macy in the eyes of other men and women, as well as representatives of ‘tra- ditional’ authorities and the local government. Paying particular attention to intersectional perspectives, this book will be of interest to scholars of African studies, social anthropology, political anthropology, the anthropology of gender, urban anthropology, gender stu- dies, and Islamic studies.

    The Second First Ladies Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement on Food Security and Women's Access to Resources Rome, 15 November, 2009 ____ 1- The Second First Ladies Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement on Food Security and Women's Access to Resources was held in Rome, on 15 November, 2009, at the headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organization. 2- The following Members of the Movement attended the Summit: Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Chad, Cuba, Egypt, Gabon, Gambia, Guatemala, Guinea-Bissau, Islamic Republic of Iran, IRAQ, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Mali, Myanmar, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, Senegal, Somalia, South Africa, Suriname, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Venezuela, Yemen, Zambia and Zimbabwe. El Salvador attended the Summit as an observer. Opening Session 3- H.E. Mrs. Suzanne Mubarak, the First Lady of the Arabic Republic of Egypt and chairperson of the Summit delivered the inaugural address of the Summit, emphasizing the need to maintain the momentum created by the Sharm El-Sheikh NAM First Ladies summit held last July on Women and Crisis Management. Food security was underlined both as a fundamental human right and a pre-requisite for achieving peace and stability. Food insecurity was perhaps the most daunting challenge facing women in developing countries, as more than one billion people worldwide were malnourished and the international community was far from achieving MDG 1 of halving the number of hungry people in the world by 2015. This situation is morally unacceptable. The need to invest in new technologies, channeling a gender perspective in decision making processes, effective training for women, awareness raising on the links between health and malnutrition and contributing to sustainable food security by facing the challenges posed by climate change, were all emphasized.
