While the responsibility of ending sexual gender based violence is on the perpetrators, this guide will offer general safety tips, country-specific information, and resources to help prevent and prepare travelers for the possibility of sexual assault abroad. GENERAL SAFETY TIPS: 1. Use the buddy system and travel with friends. 7 out of 10 2. Be aware of social and cultural norms. For example, looking at someone in rapes are the eyes when you speak to them is perfectly normal in the U.S., but in committed another country that could signify you’re interested in the person. by someone known to the 3. Recognize controlling behavior when entering a relationship. Most rape victim1 survivors recall feeling “uncomfortable” about some of their partner’s behaviors such as degrading jokes/language or refusal to accept “no” as an answer, whether in a sexual context or otherwise.2 4. Avoid secluded places where you could be more vulnerable. Meet new people in public spaces and let a trusted friend know where you’ll be beforehand. Always have a backup plan in mind. 5. Trust your gut. Many victims have a “bad feeling” right before an assault takes place. It’s okay to leave a situation that is making you feel uncomfortable. Stay alert and aware in new social settings and places. ALCOHOL AND DRUG AWARENESS: • Always watch your drink being poured and carry it yourself, even to the bathroom. • “Drug-facilitated sexual assault drugs,” also referred to as club drugs or roofies may turn your drink slightly salty, bright blue, or cloudy. Effects such as distorted judgment, loss sense of time, sight, sound, identity, and overall consciousness can be felt within 15 minutes and may last up to 4 hours.3 • India’sLebanon’sLaos’KyrgyzstanKuwait’sKazakhstan’sJapan’sIsIraq’sAlcohol HongEastChina’sThereBrunei’sBhutan’sBangladeshBali’sBahrain’sArmenia’sAzerbaijan’sIndonesia’sTherael’s legalTimor’s legalKong’slegalis legal legalpurchasecurrently drinking legal legaldrinkingdoesdrinking legaldrinkinghas drinkinglegal drinkinglegal drinking drinkingonenot drinkingand no agedrinking drinking age age have ofdrinking age ageconsumptionagein thein is age Jordan variesageais Laos18.isage legallowestage 18.age is18.20. isVisitorsage is418. is44is 18.byTraditional is The21,drinking Drinking 418.restrictions1818. 4Armenia21.jurisdiction.alcohol isDespiteexcept4 4and rate4 Laoswillillegal VisitorsAlthough the notage.of is ranks consumptiondrinkinginis beinginalcoholconsidered policefindAceh knownin However,Iran.should In JordanCambodia.number Bihar, a liquorand4 culturestrictlyheavily consumptionAlthoughfor avoid is Papua alcoholGujarat,itsan rates1ina out majoritylongInimportant revolvesenforce Muslimhalalgiving 2015, there whereofin is tradition Manipur,10Asiarestaurants prohibitedin alcohol a inare thecountry,Muslim around Israellawalcohol duealcoholway manylaw. was ofNagaland, to toisas nation, strongrespect While Lebanon atis theincreasingdrafted cateringbondpeopleaconsumption illegal.schoolsgift majority Hong liquors, alcoholand unless andand who to to4has Beingandconnectimpose atshowingKongLakshadweep Muslims,continue Muslim alcohol beers,theyone is amonguniversities. widelya is Muslim-majorityof a arewithfamous yourlegal and thepopulation.but availableAseanto certainavailable people, smuggletherewinesfastestjiudan minimumdrinking Thefor countries. that arewhichits in country’s “drink amongbut for However, alcoholbars, excitingis no theircountry,age always illegal. are An of Otherpurchasenon-Muslimsrestaurants,averagetraditionalhostrememberandcourage”21,restrictionsdrankIndonesiaindustrialized but drinkdiverse drinks, agein has oflarge is except behindlimitsholds 7 drinkyetto common, elsewhere litersnightlife,asand andpace proportionsnations,to many varyduringconservative is shops.beclosed istourists koumissyourself consumedpassed. frombut Kazakhsdrinking on howeverthe5 doors,Menit’s the 18-25duringover , month 4according an acceptable Cambodians islands. viewsinare peris alcoholicit the yearsLebanonthe notis celebratory Muslim ofperson tabooage onOECD Ramadan.4necessarily ofto drinking ofto age.drinkyour consumeforoften andper18hasdrink 4 maydevout toasts.

    LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE BOARD Dear Parliamentarians, At the outset on behalf of the Executive Board , We extend a warm welcome to all of you and congratulate you on being a part of the Amity University Madhya Pradesh Model United Nations 2019 . The committee being simulated at the institute , would like most other simulations of Indian committee will focus on political intellect and analytical application of thoughts and strategic application of thoughts in resolving impending politically sensitive bilateral issues. Kindly note , we are not looking for existing solutions , or statements that would be an exact copy paste of what the portfolio you are representing have already stated; Instead we seek an out of the box solution from you, while knowing and understanding your impending political and ideological limitations. This introductory guide would be as abstract as possible, and would just give you a basic perspective on what you can expect from the committee and areas wherein which you research should be focused at this given point in time. Given, the extremely political and volatile nature of this committee, your presence of mind and politico-analytical aptitude is something which we at the executive board would be looking to test. That being said, kindly do not limit your research to the areas highlighted further but ensure that you logically deduce and push your research to areas associated with the issued mentioned. We are sure however that this background guide gives you a perfect launching pad to start with your research. Wishing you all a very warm good luck and hoping to see you all at this conference discussing imperative issues of national trust.

  • Msna) Phase One Report
    INTER-AGENCY MULTI-SECTOR NEEDS ASSESSMENT (MSNA) PHASE ONE REPORT SECONDARY DATA REVIEW AND ANALYSIS MAY 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Aim of the Inter-Agency Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA), its structure and process The MSNA was established, in light of the Syrian crisis, to enhance the humanitarian response in Lebanon. It aims to help prioritise humanitarian assistance, by identifying the most pressing needs, within and among sectors, and identify gaps in assisting these priority needs. This report represents the findings of phase one, a secondary data review and analysis of available data shared with the MSNA team. An inter-agency technical working group (TWG) - consisting of members of NGOs, the Ministry of Social Affairs (MoSA), IOM and UN agencies - was established in February 2014, to develop the framework and methodology for the MSNA phase one, and to lead its technical implementation. From the start, the TWG engaged directly with sector coordinators and sector working groups (SWGs) in order to collect data and develop ‘information needs’, which were mainly derived from the regional response plan (RRP) indicators and other SWG recommendations. These were used to inform the data review process and identify relevant information gaps. During phase one, MSNA SWG workshops were established to collect views from SWG members and complement data findings. This main report will only present findings from the data made available to the MSNA team. The views of the SWGs are detailed in the extended sector chapters. Outputs Eight sector chapters1 were released on 24 April. These provide some preliminary conclusions on priorities, based on available data and the views of SWG members, along with what is known in relation to the information needs identified by the SWGs.

  • Jewish, Female, Educated and Political: Dr. Rahel Straus on Abortion in the Weimar Republic2
    Originalni naučni rad (ONR) 16: (2012) 1-21 UDK Katarzyna Czerwonogóra1 305-055.2(430)”192/193” Wissenschaf szentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung 61:929 Штраус Р. 316.662-055.2(=411.16)(430)”192” JEWISH, FEMALE, EDUCATED AND POLITICAL: DR. RAHEL STRAUS ON ABORTION IN THE WEIMAR REPUBLIC2 ABSTRACT T e article concerns reproductive rights debate in Weimar Germany and its Jewish community. It refers to the activity of Dr. Rahel Straus, a pioneering female gynecologist, Zionist woman and advocate of the recognition of women’s needs. Born in 1885, Dr. Straus was involved in promoting women’s health issues and the national Jewish agenda in the f rst half of the twentieth century and later was a devoted physician and peace activist in Israel. At the turn of the 1920s and 1930s she was involved in the struggle against penalization of abortion in the Weimar Republic. She wrote a guidebook for Jewish women concerning sexual education, and lectured for women participating in the Summer School organized by a middle-class Jewish women’s organization Jüdischer Frauenbund. In her article published in Jüdischer Frauenbund’s magazine she advocated women’s freedom to decide on their bodies, and a need to provide them with legal access to termination of pregnancies, framing the issue in terms of social justice and class inequality. Her argument, which was part of the historical debate concerning reproductive behavior, provides an important point of reference for contemporary critique of body politics in Israel and also other nation states. Key words: Rahel Straus, Jewish women, reproductive rights, abortion, Weimar Germany, German Jews, body politics, female doctors INTRODUCTION 1 2 1 E-mail: [email protected] 2 Writing this article was made possible thanks to the fellowship of the Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center at the Hebrew University.
