TEMA CENTRAL - PROBLEMA En La Libertad, del total de mujeres que reportaron violencia familiar en el periodo 2003-2007 en los módulos de la Demuna, el grupo etario de mayor concentración es el de 26 a 35 años (1189), seguido por el grupo comprendido entre los 36 a 45 años (905). La violencia familiar de niñas entre los 6 y 11 años, y entre los 12 y 17 años, registran una cantidad de 175 casos denunciados. Además, estos casos de violencia sexual se concentran mayoritariamente en el rango de 12 a 17 años (96%) seguido por los grupos de 18 a 25 (30%) y de 26 a 35 (32%), en donde el 63% de mujeres que sufrieron violencia física y/o sexual al interior de la pareja, presentan 7 o más trastornos de salud como disminución del apetito, sentimiento de incapacidad y de disfrute de las actividades diarias, etc. El 80% de la población no ha participado en charlas para la prevención de la violencia familiar, así como en campañas sobre derechos humanos; sin embargo solo el 2% lo ha hecho en charlas acerca de salud. El involucramiento de las personas solo se da en calidad de apoyo ya sea para convocatorias o espacios para charlas. El distrito de Laredo se encuentra desinformado, segmentada y distante, en los procesos comunicativos entre quienes ejercen liderazgo vecinal y las autoridades, pues sus representantes inmediatos no cumplen la función de canalizadores de propuestas, debido a que la mediación no es organizada y por lo tanto carece de una sensibilidad común para reconocer y priorizar los problemas sociales que aquejan dicho sector. 1 Jara Llanos, Jerry Omar, docente investigador de la Universidad Nacional Pedro Ruiz Gallo, doctorando en sociología, Perú. E-mail: [email protected] 5 Las mujeres que habitan en este distrito se resistían a mostrar interés por el problema que están pasando, se miran desconcertadas y otras huyen sin intentar manifestar algo, sus emociones y su lenguaje no verbal corroboran un gran distanciamiento de sus vecinos y vecinas de no poder solicitar alguna ayuda y esto es producto del desconocimiento de sus derechos. Su intención comunicante se limita al deseo de no recibir alguna ayuda razón suficiente para seguir siendo parte de este flagelo que habita en dicho lugar. En este contexto la población ha venido negándose a crear espacios donde puedan ejercer sus facultades, cumpliendo así el derecho fundamental de la persona humana de poder disfrutar de las condiciones favorables en un hábitat, considerado como propio; pero al mismo tiempo prestado de las generaciones futuras que lo que se busca es que cada vez sea mejor. En el distrito de Laredo, provincia región La Libertad, se aprecia que las mujeres de entre 18-45 años ,muestran dificultades en cuanto a equidad de género, situación que no les permite desarrollarse y que se evidencia mediante indicadores como: • Bajo nivel de empoderamiento y la falta de equidad en cuanto a género. • Poca participación política dentro de su comunidad. • No pueden ser forjadoras de sus propias decisiones. • Deficiencias para relacionarse con su entorno. • Disminución de las brechas en cuanto a desigualdad. • Falta de oportunidades. • limitadas oportunidades en cuanto a participación femenina en las estructuras e instancias de decisión del desarrollo local y regional, así como de representación política. La realidad para las mujeres peruanas no ha cambiado a pesar de los grandes esfuerzos por parar la violencia física y psicológica contra ellas, los casos de agresiones contra mujeres han incrementado en relación a lo registrado en años anteriores. Esta investigación partió desde varios cuestionamientos concurrentes, como ¿Cómo es que se desarrolla la igualdad de oportunidades y la equidad de género en las defensorías comunitarias?, ¿Cuánto saben las madres de familia de Laredo sobre políticas inducidas al empoderamiento?, ¿Cuál ha sido la participación política inducidas al empoderamiento de mujeres por parte de las defensorías comunitarias?, ¿Elaborar un diagnóstico en las madres de familia de Laredo para generar igualdad de oportunidades y equidad de género?, ¿Qué tan importante es la igualdad de oportunidades y la equidad de género en las madres de Laredo?, ¿Cuáles son los espacios de participación existente de las madres de familia de Laredo?, ¿De qué manera influye el reconocimiento de sus capacidades en los procesos de participación de las madres de familia?, ¿Cuáles han sido las acciones de participación en política en las madres de familia que permita su empoderamiento?, ¿Cuál ha sido el nivel de participación que han tenido las madres de familia para generar igualdad de oportunidades y desarrollo dentro del distrito de Laredo? y ¿De qué manera las mujeres víctimas de violencia de género podrán contribuir para el mejoramiento de políticas inducidas al empoderamiento? De ello emanó el enunciado base

Executive Summary Cuba has the most repressive media environment in the Americas. Traditional news media are owned and controlled by the state, which uses outlets to promote its political goals and deny a voice to the opposition. Journalists not employed by state media operate https://freedomhouse.org/print/49545 1/12/2018 Cuba Page 2 of 5 in a legal limbo—they are technically illegal, yet tolerated unless they cross ill-defined lines. Journalists at both state and independent media risk harassment, intimidation, and detention in connection with any coverage perceived as critical of authorities or of Cuba’s political system.

    Abstract In 1933, the Cuban Communist Party experienced a change in leadership from the white poet and lawyer Rubén Martínez Villena to a black former shoe repairman from Manzanillo, Blas Roca. This shift marked the beginning of a new era in Cuban politics. This thesis argues that the Communist Party was an unparalleled space for black political activism in Cuba’s late republic period due to the unique convergence of black actors within its ranks. The Party reflected a singular intersection of labor leaders, members of black fraternal organizations, and black intelligencia. This group of black political actors fought for an end to racial discrimination throughout the history of the Party and successfully reintroduced a public engagement with race in Cuban political rhetoric during the 1940 Constitutional Assembly. Unlike other contemporary political parties, the Communist Party created a space for simultaneous expressions of blackness and Cubanness that drew black Cubans into its ranks. The Party’s decades long struggle for anti- discrimination legislation ultimately failed, but their prolonged struggle for greater equity on the island disrupted domestic politics and distinguished the Cuban Party from other contemporary Communist parties. ¬ Copyright by Kaitlyn D.

  • Cuba--Military's Profile in State Media Limited, Positive
    FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 26 February 2010 OpenSourceCenter Report Cuba -- Military's Profile in State Media Limited, Positive President Raul Castro was atypically visible and engaged during a Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR) exercise in late 2009, but more commonly he presents himself as a civilian rather than military leader. Current senior military officers maintain a largely ceremonial presence in state media, where the military receives limited but overwhelmingly favorable coverage. Raul Castro Selectively Shown in Uniform State media highlighted Castro's close involvement in the 27- 29 November 2009 "Bastion" exercise -- held every four years -- but most public appearances show him in a non-military context.a Coverage of Castro during the exercises included rare audio bites, and he was shown chairing meetings and interacting closely with participants, reinforcing his image as an experienced commander (Cubavision, 27-29 November 2009).123 Castro appeared in uniform in about one-fourth of his media appearances during 2009, down from just over a third in 2008. He consistently wears a uniform to military- related events, but there appears to be no pattern to his other appearances in uniform.b Castro generally meets foreign visitors wearing a suit or a more casual guyabera, but he wore a uniform to receive the South African foreign minister, the Angolan defense minister, and the Brazilian minister of development, industry, and foreign trade (Cubavision, 3 December 2009, 10 July 2009, 17 June 2009).456 While he appeared in uniform at a

  • American Broadcasting to Cuba: the Cold War Origins of Radio and TV MARTI
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Ritsumeikan Research Repository 2011】 © Institute of InternationalAmerican Broadcasting Relations and to AreaCuba （Studies,PROGLER Ritsumeikan） University159 American Broadcasting to Cuba: The Cold War Origins of Radio and TV MARTI PROGLER, Joseph* Abstract Current American debates on broadcasting to Cuba are dominated by opponents who cite economic concerns and proponents who cite political goals. This article seeks to provide historical context for these debates by investigating the formative years of Radio and TV Marti during the Reagan administration and shows that the current debates were present from the beginning, that the political side prevailed, and that the politics of Radio and TV Marti originated with Cold War goals and ideology. The article further observes that a third position, which saw the broadcasts in terms of cultural exchange, was undermined by the dichotomy of economics and politics. Keywords: media, policy, propaganda, intercultural communication RITSUMEIKAN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Vol.10, pp.159-182 (2011). * Associate Dean and Professor of Asia Pacific Studies, Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University 160 RITSUMEIKAN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS 【Vol. 10 INTRODUCTION In 1985 the American government began broadcasting to Cuba on Ra- dio Marti, followed in 1990 by TV Marti. Both were ironically named after the Cuban independence icon Jose Marti, who once said, “The scorn of our formidable neighbor who does not know us is our America’s greatest dan- ger” (cited in Manuel, 1991, p. iv). Prior to implementation, the broadcasts were debated in the US Congress and they remain controversial today. A 2006 report from the Council on Hemispheric Affairs termed the broad- casts “a bridge to nowhere,” noting that “almost half a billion dollars have been thrown away in the project” (Harr, 2006).

  • Kinocuban: the Significance of Soviet and East European Cinemas for the Cuban Moving
    KINOCUBAN The Significance of Soviet and East European Cinemas for The Cuban Moving Image Author: Vladimir Alexander Smith Mesa Degree Doctor of Philosophy University College London November 2011 1 I, Vladimir Alexander Smith Mesa, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract KinoCuban: The Significance of Soviet and East European Cinemas for the Cuban Moving Image examines a piece of evidence that has been misunderstood in the existing body of Cuban film studies. The first revolutionary legislation concerning the arts was the creation of the ICAIC in 1959, a fact that demonstrates the importance of cinema for the new cultural project. This thesis argues that the moving image was radically affected by the proclamation of the socialist character of the Revolution on 16 April 1961. What was it that the distant audiovisual culture, film theories and practices of the Soviet-bloc offered Cubans? Is it not the case that Soviet-bloc cinemas had an influence upon the shaping of the Cuban moving image, if one takes into consideration the very few films co-produced in 30 years? It should be stressed that during this period, the moving image was the direct or indirect effect of the different waves that arrived in Cuba from ‘the other’ Europe, which were born at the same time as the first films that were co-produced in the 1960s, particularly from the unique experience of Mikhail Kalatozov’s masterpiece Soy Cuba. The present study reveals that the most important outcome from that influence was the conceptualisation of the cinematic discourse of the Revolution, so well represented in ICAIC and its socialist films of commitment.

  • Cold War JCC: Cuba Chair: Tucker Jones
    asdf Cold War JCC: Cuba Chair: Tucker Jones JCC: Cuba PMUNC 2015 Chair’s Letter Hello everyone! I’m glad you’re participating in PMUNC 2015’s Joint Crisis Committee simulating Cuba starting in 1961. I’m originally from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and this is my ninth year doing Model UN. Like Jacob, who’s chairing the USSR committee, I spent a year living in Serbia before college. That experience gave me some interest in communist and post-communist countries. I speak Serbian and some Turkish. I’m in my final year at Princeton concentrating in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. Princeton’s International Relations Council, our Model UN society, is my main extracurricular activity, and I am IRC’s current President. During the Cold War, the first Conference of Heads of State or Government of Non-Aligned Countries was held in Belgrade then the capital of Yugoslavia and now the capital of Serbia. The establishment of what later became the Non-Aligned Movement was an effort for countries to defy the major Communist and Capitalist power blocs and to find their own paths to progress. Jacob, Seamus, and I chose to run this crisis simulation mostly because the Cuban Missile Crisis is the closest humanity ever got to armageddon. But the start date of our simulation, January, 1961, is a full year and a half before the crisis began. At this time, Castro had not declared himself (and Cuba) officially Communist. Though there were some US sanctions against Cuba, the full US embargo of the island would not begin until later.
