It called for greater partnership between Britain and the United States of America to prevent Soviet expansion into Eastern Europe. From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the continent. Behind the line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe. Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia, all these famous cities and populations around them lie in the Soviet sphere and all are subject, in one form or another, not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and increasing measure of control from Moscow.

  • Data Synthesis: Covid-19 Vaccine Perceptions in Africa: Social and Behavioural Science Data, March 2020-March 2021
    DATA SYNTHESIS: COVID-19 VACCINE PERCEPTIONS IN AFRICA: SOCIAL AND BEHAVIOURAL SCIENCE DATA, MARCH 2020-MARCH 2021 Safe and effective vaccines against COVID-19 are seen as a critical path to ending the pandemic.1 This synthesis brings together data related to public perceptions about COVID-19 vaccines collected between March 2020 and March 2021 in 22 countries in Africa. It provides an overview of the data (primarily from cross-sectional perception surveys), identifies knowledge and research gaps and presents some limitations of translating the available evidence to inform local operational decisions. The synthesis is intended for those designing and delivering vaccination programmes and COVID-19 risk communication and community engagement (RCCE). 5 large-scale surveys are included with over 12 million respondents in 22 central, eastern, western and southern African countries (note: one major study accounts for more than 10 million participants2); data from 14 peer-reviewed questionnaire surveys in 8 countries with n=9,600 participants and 15 social media monitoring, qualitative and community feedback studies. Sample sizes are provided in the first reference for each study and in Table 13 at the end of this document. The data largely predates vaccination campaigns that generally started in the first quarter of 2021. Perceptions will change and further syntheses, that represent the whole continent including North Africa, are planned. This review is part of the Social Science in Humanitarian Action Platform (SSHAP) series on COVID-19 vaccines. It was developed for SSHAP by Anthrologica. It was written by Kevin Bardosh (University of Washington), Tamara Roldan de Jong and Olivia Tulloch (Anthrologica), it was reviewed by colleagues from PERC, LSHTM, IRD, and UNICEF (see acknowledgments) and received coordination support from the RCCE Collective Service.

  • Support Extended to Women Ward Councillors by Stakeholders in South Africa

This is an open access article licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/) Received: 27 January 2021 / Accepted: 15 April 2021 / Published: 10 May 2021 Support Extended to Women Ward Councillors by Stakeholders in South Africa Brian K. Majola Faculty of Management and Law, School of Economics and Management, University of Limpopo, South Africa DOI: https://doi.org/10.36941/jesr-2021-0053 Abstract The paper aims to explore how culture, family and community-women have shaped women councillors’ representation and participation in South Africa. It investigates the extent to which women ward councillors are gaining support from their male counterparts; other women councillors irrespective of political affiliation when women-related issues are raised in council meetings. The paper identifies reasons contributing to the non-support by key stakeholders when women-related issues are raised and when performing their duties. Post-1994 in South Africa, women’s participation in politics is still a struggle. The number of women ward councillors have been fluctuating since the local government was reformed between 1995/96. Ward councillors are elected by local communities to represent their respective wards, to be accountable to the community that elected them. The paper is exploratory and qualitative in nature. It focuses on 104 Ward and Proportional Representative (PR) councillors from local municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape Provinces.

  • Lessons Learned from the Apartheid Litigation
    \\jciprod01\productn\H\HLI\61-2\HLI201.txt unknown Seq: 1 31-JUL-20 10:27 Volume 61, Number 2, Summer 2020 Perspectives From a Practitioner: Lessons Learned From the Apartheid Litigation Susan H. Farbstein* Critics often contend that human rights litigation is not particularly useful in advancing human rights. Yet such critiques tend to miss the mark both because they demand too much of litigation—which is, of course, but one tool available to the human rights movement—and because they fail to understand the multiple goals, beyond court verdicts, of human rights plaintiffs and litigators. This article excavates those diverse goals, many of which have previously gone unexamined. It draws on insight gained from nearly a decade spent litigating a complex Alien Tort Statute suit that sought to hold corporations accountable for their role supporting and facilitating human rights violations in apartheid South Africa. This article also evaluates both successes and failures in the Apartheid case to explore the extent to which common critiques ring true. It would be foolhardy to claim that lawsuits alone can fundamentally improve respect for and protection of human rights. Still, this article concludes that litigation can be a powerful option for individuals or communities that have survived human rights abuse, particularly when deployed in tandem with other strategies, and that it played an important role for many stakeholders involved in the apartheid suit. In so doing, this article opens up fresh scholarly terrain and shares unique perspectives that may inform the work of other affected communities and human rights practitioners. Introduction For nearly a decade, I served as co-counsel on a case that sought to hold corporations accountable for their role in assisting and supporting the apartheid government to commit grievous human rights violations in South Africa.

  • A Political Economy Analysis of the Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on Health Workers Making Power and Gender Visibl E in the Work of Providing C a R E
    Illustration: Chuan Ming Ong COMMENT ARY A Political Economy Analysis of the Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on Health Workers Making power and gender visibl e in the work of providing c a r e PHM Health Systems Thematic Circle | A l b a L l o p - G i r o n é s , A n a V r a č ar, Ben Eder, Deepika Joshi, Jashodhara Dasgupta, Lauren Paremoer, Sulakshana Nandi , S u s a n a B a r r i a J u l y 2 0 2 1 ealth and auxiliary workers are at the forefront of the COVID-19 pandemic response. They have been applauded as heroes by patients and politicians, but this has not translated into policies that address their rights and needs. Health workers face a double H risk of infection, as they run the risk of contracting the virus in their workplaces, and in their communities and families (WHO 2020a). Even though a nominal consensus exists that health workers deserve protection, the lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) among health 1 workers has been a widespread problem, especially in the early phases of pandemic (The Lancet 2020). This paper assesses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the most vulnerable categories of health workers in different countries, locating them within the country’s health system and political economy of healthcare. It focuses on the impact of precarious and contractual work, weakening of the public sector, privatization and commercialization of the health system on health workers, and differences between the global north and the global south, through an intersectional lens.
