  • 29 July 2019 the Challenges of Winning Justice for Victims Of
    29 July 2019 The Challenges of Winning Justice for Victims of Sexual Abuse in War and Peacekeeping. On April 23rd 2019, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) adopted resolution 2467 on women, ​ ​ peace and security stating its concern over the slow progress in addressing and eliminating sexual violence in armed conflicts. Sexual violence in conflict as a topic has been gaining momentum over the last years, which led to two women’s rights advocates, Nadia Murad and Dr. Denis Mukwege, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2018. The UN has used this momentum to push governments to adopt national action plans to fight conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV). However, as of April 2019, only 79 out of 193 UN member states have produced such a national action plan. The UNSC is to be commended for continuing to place pressure on member states to deal with this important issue. However, this latest resolution raises two important issues that remain insufficiently addressed: victims’ access to justice and the separation of sexual abuse by UN staff from CRSV. While resolution 2467 contains strong language condemning CRSV, the issue of sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) by peacekeepers is not addressed. Nor it is acknowledged in the resolution as being a form of sexual violence in conflict even though since 2010, no less than 188 allegations of SEA by peacekeepers have been reported to the UN. At the core of both CRSV and SEA is sexual abuse by people in positions of power. One of the main differences between the two concepts lies in who is perpetrating the violence: state and non-state actors or UN peacekeepers.

  • Conflict-Related Sexual Violence – Translating Words Into Action
    MEDIA RELEASE For immediate release Geneva, 12 June 2018 CONFLICT-RELATED SEXUAL VIOLENCE – TRANSLATING WORDS INTO ACTION In fifteen years of existence, TRIAL International has acquired an expertise in legal responses to sexual violence. Aware of the importance of good collaboration, the NGO has partnered with other civil society actors to gather practical tools for the assistance of victims. For its fifteenth anniversary, TRIAL International is organizing a high-level event on the topic of conflict-related sexual violence. Many actors of this field will gather in Geneva on 18 and 19 June – the International day for the elimination of conflict-related sexual violence – to focus on the advances these organizations have conquered. The objective is to compile their experience and share concrete solutions. “It is probably the first time that these NGOs, which have developed cutting-edge techniques or IT apps, show such willingness to collaborate. Each one will bring a piece of the puzzle to move forward, patiently and professionally, the fight against impunity for conflict-related sexual violence”, enthuses Philip Grant, Director of TRIAL International. EXPERTS WILL PRESENT THEIR VICTORIES The public event on 18 June will offer a panorama of the advances victims of conflict-related sexual violence have enjoyed in their access to justice. The United Nations Deputy High Commissioner to Human Rights Kate Gilmore and the Permanent Representative of Switzerland to the United Nations, Ambassador Valentin Zellweger, will deliver keynote speeches.

  • Press Release – WIP Statement for The
    THE SPIRIT OF WOMEN IN PARLIAMENTS: ADVANCING SOCIETY PRESS RELEASE Bellerivestr. 29 WIP STATEMENT FOR THE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY 2014 "INSPIRING CHANGE" CH-8008 Zürich www.wip-gf.net [email protected] Brussels, 8 March 2014 Tel. +41 44 268 69 21 Fax +41 44 268 69 22 Many years ago, generations of women, inspired by Suffragettes such as Emmeline Pankhurst, Susan B. Anthony and Kate Richard first fought to bring the voices of women to Parliaments. They spread the voices of women through the world, to institutions, to businesses, to culture, to science, to the many vital components of society. They inspired change in the spirit of advancing society. But even today we still need voices advocating for equality and equity in order to overcome the limitations burdening women. We have come far, but we are not yet there. Significant gaps in gender parity in economics and politics persist around the world. Millions of women from the North, South, East, and West still do not have the opportunities available to men. Much more needs to be done to empower women to realize their full potential. Today’s world is a volatile, complex and interdependent one. The "Women in Parliaments Global Forum" (WIP) believes that female Parliamentarians have unique perspectives and experiences. WIP seeks to inspire change, to find ways to address global challenges by using the collective strength and ability of Women in Parliaments across the World. Today, we must inspire change. We must still demonstrate. We must still illustrate the inequality that exists in politics, and in society.

  • The Politics of Representation in the Climate Movement
    The Politics of Representation in the Climate Movement Article by Alast Najafi July 17, 2020 For decades, the tireless work of activists around the world has advanced the climate agenda, raising public awareness and political ambition. Yet today, one Swedish activist’s fame is next to none. Alast Najafi examines how the “Greta effect” is symptomatic of structural racial bias which determines whose voices are heard loudest. Mainstreaming an intersectional approach in the climate movement and environmental policymaking is essential to challenge the exclusion of people of colour and its damaging consequences on communities across the globe. The story of Greta Thunberg is one of superlatives and surprises. In the first year after the schoolgirl with the signature blond braids emerged on the public radar, her fame rose to stratospheric heights. Known as the “Greta effect”, her steadfast activism has galvanised millions across the globe to take part in climate demonstrations demanding that governments do their part in stopping climate change. Since she started her school strike back in August 2018, Greta Thunberg has inspired numerous and extensive tributes. She has been called an idol and the icon the planet desperately needs. The Church of Sweden even went so far as to playfully name her the successor of Jesus Christ. These days, Greta Thunberg is being invited into the corridors of power, such as the United Nations and the World Economic Forum in Davos where global leaders and chief executives of international corporations listen to her important message. Toward the end of 2019, her media exposure culminated in a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize and an extensively covered sail across the Atlantic with the aim of attending climate conferences in New York and Chile.

  • Who Is Temple Grandin? Once Again, the Kids Were Tossing Insults At
    Who Is Temple Grandin? Once again, the kids were tossing insults at Temple Grandin in the hallway of junior high school. They picked on Temple because she didn’t act like everybody else. She spoke in a loud, flat voice. She repeated sentences over and over, word for word. She clapped her hands over her ears at the sound of the school bell. She acted lost and afraid in the crowded school hall. Kids couldn’t understand what made Temple tick. And Temple couldn’t understand them, either. That was because Temple’s brain worked differently from theirs. She had been born with a developmental disorder known as autism (say: AW--tiz--im). It showed up when she was a baby, making her behave in odd ways. On this day, Temple’s temper boiled over at the bullying. She hurled a book at a kid. Hours later, the principal expelled her from school. Probably no one was too surprised. Temple was flunking nearly all her subjects. They just didn’t interest her. Everyone back in 1961 would have been amazed to know that Temple would grow up to become a world--famous animal scientist. All through her career she has worked to improve the treatment of cows and other animals that are raised for food. Every year, millions and millions of cattle are killed for beef. Until Temple came along, people thought of cattle as products to turn into hamburgers and steaks. But Temple paid attention to the fear and pain cattle felt at large meat plants. As an autistic person, Temple often felt like a scared animal herself.

    Dr. Temple Grandin Dr. Temple Grandin • She is an American Scientist and industrial designer. • She has created systems to counter stress in certain human and animal populations. • Temple Grandin has autism. Autism • autism is: “A spectrum of neuropsychiatric disorders characterized by deficits in social interaction and communication, and unusual and repetitive behavior.” • The degree of autism varies from mild to severe. Temple Grandin • Temple Grandin was born on August 29, 1947, in Boston, MA. • She is the oldest of four children. • None of her siblings are autistic. • One of the first signs that a baby may be autistic is that it resists being held and cuddled; one of the first signs of autism. Temple Grandin • Since 1990, she has taught animal science at Colorado State University in Ft. Collins, CO, where she also operates her own company, Grandin Livestock Systems. • Today, Temple has published over 300 scientific papers, has her own website which gets 5,000 visitors each month, gives 35 lectures on animal management a year, and gives about another 25 lectures about autism. • Half of the cattle in the United States and Canada are handled in humane slaughter systems she has designed. She feels she owes a lot of this success to the fact that her brain works differently. Autism has given her a perspective on animals that a lot of professionals don’t have. Temple Grandin • Temple tells people that whenever you have a problem with an animal, try to see what the animal is seeing and try to experience what the animal is experiencing. • Thought has to be given to the animals’ emotional lives, not just their physical lives.

Wartime sexual vio- lence is still prevalent today and shows no signs of slowing down. This Note argues that Security Council Resolutions are not an ef- fective method to prevent conflict-related sexual violence.
