Global Social Work Responds To Getting to Zero Global Social Work Responds to Responds Work Global Social Social workers in all parts of the world have been responding to the unique challenges of HIV since the earliest days of the epidemic. HIV was, and remains, a social challenge as much as a biomedical challenge. Social work researchers and practitioners, laboratory scientists and medical practitioners, policy-makers and funders, together with people living with HIV, at risk of contracting HIV and affected by HIV, must work in close partnership with each other to develop and deliver effective, compassionate, accessible and appropriate HIV prevention, treatment, care and support services. In this publication, 18 contributions by social workers, social work researchers and academics document some of the innovative work they are doing so that those responses can be adapted in other places and communities around the world to contribute towards ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030. This landmark book represents a collaboration between the International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW), and Getting the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) as they work together to achieve common goals of zero new HIV HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths. to Zero “This book, a collaboration between UNAIDS, social work educators and Global Social Work researchers around the world, documents innovative social work approaches to Responds to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support.

Lynch About the editors and authors 430 Foreword his is more than a compilation of scientific articles on the response to T HIV by social workers. It is also a collection of stories told with candour about restoring hope, dignity and social capital to people and their families in order that they can withstand the shocks they encounter in life. It is about the experiences of people who are vulnerable to HIV and their caregivers, showing us that it is possible to live free from inequality and discrimination. And it is about enabling people living with HIV to live healthy and fulfilled lives. Few can tell these stories better than social workers. Social workers are the conscience of the AIDS response. They are peer educators, researchers and decision-makers. They work at the centre and the margins of communities. Taking a life-cycle approach, social workers accompany people through their life journey—connecting them to services and making services work for them. They make connections every day. Social workers are helping a new generation of children to start free from HIV and remain AIDS-free. They are also helping to move the spotlight to an important group of vulnerable children—children whose parents are living with HIV but who were born free from HIV. Such children experience more health problems and deaths than children whose parents are not living with HIV. They require systematic follow-up and care, which social workers help to provide. Social workers also help people to access antiretroviral therapy and support them to remain on treatment; they assist people to get condoms, opioid substitution therapy or sterile needles, food, housing and employment, and access transport support for clinic appointments; they protect the rights of vulnerable people and help to prevent and treat gender- and sexual-based violence—these are just a few of the connections that social workers make every day. 5 GETTING TO ZERO Above all else, this book highlights the role that social workers play in the lives of vulnerable people and their families and in helping to bring about inclusive societies, dignity for all people, solidarity, social justice and hope. UNAIDS is honoured to partner with the International Association of Schools of Social Work to share these stories. Michel Sidibé Executive Director, UNAIDS 6 Introduction t is with the greatest pleasure that we present this collection of global Isocial work responses to the global HIV epidemic. The book you are reading represents a collaboration between the International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW) and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). IASSW is an association of institutions of social work education, organizations supporting social work education and social work educators around the world. The values and mission statements of the two organizations have synergies that encouraged cooperation between them in the realization of their shared aims. Since a first joint meeting in March 2014, members of IASSW and UNAIDS discussed the feasibility of working together to achieve common goals of zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths. The joint work plan evolved through fruitful consultations between UNAIDS and IASSW led by Dr Mariangela Simao (Director, Rights, Gender, Prevention and Community Mobilization) and Mr David Chipanta (Senior Advisor, Social Protection, UNAIDS), along with Professor Vimla V. Nadkarni (then- President of IASSW), Professor Susan Lawrence (President of the European Association of Schools and Social Work and board member of IASSW), and Dr Klaus Kuhne, representing the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW). On 21 October 2014, Professor Nadkarni and Luiz Loures (Deputy Executive Director of UNAIDS and Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations), signed a Memorandum of Understanding between IASSW and UNAIDS at UNAIDS headquarters in Geneva. It was the beginning of a formal joint plan of work between the two organizations. As a first joint event, World Social Work Day was observed on 17 March 2015 with a seminar on the theme “Ending AIDS, Promoting Dignity and Respect for All” in the Kofi Annan conference room of the UNAIDS building in Geneva. There were 150 invited guests from the UN, IASSW, IFSW and 7 GETTING TO ZERO International Council on Social Welfare (ICSW), and their European regional associations. This seminar focused on the role of social work in working with people to prevent and mitigate the impact of HIV, and on how the social work profession could contribute to the goal of ending AIDS by 2030. Resource persons from the World Bank, International Labour Organization (ILO), the United Nations Development Programme India and the World Food Programme participated and shared their work on HIV, social protection and working with social workers.

Sex trafficking operates as a business, where women are treated as commodities within a global market for sex. Traffickers profit from a supply of vulnerable women, international demand for sex slavery, and a viable means of transporting victims. Globalization and the expansion of free market capitalism have increased these factors, leading to a dramatic increase in sex trafficking. Globalization has also brought new dimensions to the fight against sex trafficking.

  • India 2020 Crime & Safety Report: Mumbai
    India 2020 Crime & Safety Report: Mumbai This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Consulate General in Mumbai. OSAC encourages travelers to use this report to gain baseline knowledge of security conditions in India. For more in-depth information, review OSAC’s India-specific webpage for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Travel Advisory The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses most of India at Level 2, indicating travelers should exercise increased caution due to crime and terrorism. Some areas have increased risk: do not travel to the state of Jammu and Kashmir (except the eastern Ladakh region and its capital, Leh) due to terrorism and civil unrest; and do not travel to within ten kilometers of the border with Pakistan due to the potential for armed conflict. Review OSAC’s report, Understanding the Consular Travel Advisory System Overall Crime and Safety Situation The Consulate represents the United States in Western India, including the states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Goa. Crime Threats The U.S. Department of State has assessed Mumbai as being a MEDIUM-threat location for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government. Although it is a city with an estimated population of more than 25 million people, Mumbai remains relatively safe for expatriates. Being involved in a traffic accident remains more probable than being a victim of a crime, provided you practice good personal security.

  • Farley Prostitution, Sex Trade, COVID-19 Pandemic
    1 Prostitution, the Sex Trade, and the COVID-19 Pandemic by Melissa Farley [1] Logos - a journal of modern society & culture Spring 2020 Volume 19 #1 The COVID-19 pandemic has had immediate and severe impacts on women in the sex trade who are already among the most vulnerable women on the planet. Because of quarantines, social distancing, governments’ neglect of the poor, systemic racism in all walks of life including healthcare, failure to protect children from abuse, and the predation of sex buyers and pimps – the coronavirus pandemic threatens already-marginalized women’s ability to survive. Even before the pandemic, sex buyers and pimps inflicted more sexual violence on women in the sex trade than any other group of women who have been studied by researchers (Hunter, 1994; Farley, 2017). The greater the poverty, the greater the likelihood of violent exploitation in the sex trade, as noted 26 years ago by Dutch researcher Ine Vanwesenbeeck (1994). This article will discuss the impact of COVID-19 as it increases harms resulting from the poverty and violent exploitation of prostitution, an oppressive institution built on foundations of sexism and racism. Women in the sex trade are in harm’s way for many reasons including a lack of food, shelter, and healthcare, all of which increase their risk of contracting COVID19. Understanding what it’s like to be anxious about access to food and shelter is key to understanding the risks taken by people in prostitution. Knowing they were risking their lives, many women prostituted during the pandemic. “Poverty will kill us before the coronavirus,” said an Indian woman in prostitution (Dutt, 2020).

The argument of this paper is that the feeling of karahiyat [Urdu: nausea, disgust, hate, etc.] com- bined with suspicion, in terms of terrorism and mafia, creates barriers for Muslims’ employment and self-employment opportunities. The argument is substantiated by using the survey data of 924 ex-millworkers and in-depth interviews with 80 ex-mill- workers collected during 2008-09 and 2010-11.

    India Page 1 of 33 India Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2002 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 31, 2003 India is a longstanding parliamentary democracy with a bicameral parliament. Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, whose Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leads a multi party coalition, heads the Government. President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, who was elected in July by an electoral college consisting of Members of Parliament and members of state assemblies, is Head of State and also has special emergency powers. State Assembly elections held earlier in the year in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttaranchal, Manipur, and Goa were conducted generally in a free and transparent manner with little violence. In December elections were held in Gujarat where the BJP won a closely watched election following accusations of government failure to control riots in February to March that killed over 2,000 persons, mostly Muslims. The judiciary is independent. Although the 28 state governments have primary responsibility for maintaining law and order, the central Government provides guidance and support through the use of paramilitary forces throughout the country. The Union Ministry for Home Affairs controls most of the paramilitary forces, the internal intelligence bureaus, and the nationwide police service; it provides training for senior police officers of the state-organized police forces. The armed forces are under civilian control. Members of the security forces committed numerous serious human rights abuses. The country is in transition from a government-controlled to a largely market-oriented economy. The private sector is predominant in agriculture, most nonfinancial services, consumer goods manufacturing, and some heavy industrial sectors.

  • H I C N Households in Conflict Network the Agency and Governance of Urban Battlefields: How Riots Alter Our Understanding Of
    H i C N Households in Conflict Network The Institute of Development Studies - at the University of Sussex - Falmer - Brighton - BN1 9RE www.hicn.org The Agency and Governance of Urban Battlefields: How Riots Alter Our Understanding of Adequate Urban Living1 2 Jaideep Gupte HiCN Working Paper 122 September 2012 Abstract: For the first time in close to 100 years, India reports higher population growth in its urbanised areas than across its vast rural landscape. However, a confluence of vast urbanisation and scarcity of resources has implied heightened levels of localised violence, centred in and around already impoverished neighbourhoods. This therefore has a disproportionate impact in further marginalising poor communities, and is at odds with the notion that cities are incontestably and inevitably the context of sustained poverty eradication. And yet, we know relatively little about the mechanics of security provisioning in Indian cities at large. The central argument in this paper is that violent urban spaces have a profound impact on how safety and security are understood by the state as well as the urban poor, thereby redefining the parameters of adequate urban living. I look in detail at how the 1992-1993 riots in Mumbai unfolded in a group of inner-city neighbourhoods, and find that specific acts of brutality and violence during the riots continue to shape current understandings of the „safe city‟. In doing so, I also find that the nature and form of informal urban space affects the mechanics by which the state endeavours to control violence, while individual acts of public violence function as markers that legitimate the use of, and reliance on, extralegal forms of security provision.
