Marriage and Divorce among Adolescents: Before and After COVID19, why we can'...Young Lives Oxford
For many young people, adolescence is a time when the world opens up as they choose their future paths. But for those living in the most marginalised families, their choices remain limited. Twelve million girls are still married under the age of 18 every year, and UN agencies warn of a doubling of this number due to the coronavirus pandemic.
This presentation was delivered on the 19th of May, as part of a webinar, organised by Young Lives, Child Frontiers, Girls not Brides and GreeneWorks, and included a presentation from WHO's Chandra Mouli.
The webinar brought together Girls Not Brides’ Agenda for Action in the face of COVID-19, new research from Young Lives and Child Frontiers on married, cohabiting and divorced adolescents, and GreeneWorks’ research on the pathways and obstacles to leaving child, early, and forced marriage.

This young population makes up for 56% of all new diagnosis of in the city (AACO, 2012). It is imperative for Philadelphia Fight to stay innovative with their approach to tackling sexual health issues that face this city. One major way Philadelphia Fight is addressing is epidemic is through opening the Youth Health Empowerment Project (Y-HEP).
العناية بالطفل هي عملية شاملة تهدف إلى تلبية احتياجات الطفل الجسدية والعاطفية والاجتماعية والعقلية. إن العناية الجيدة بالطفل تلعب دورًا حاسمًا في تطويره ونموه الصحيح وسعادته العامة. فيما يلي وصف طويل لبعض جوانب العناية بالطفل:
1. الرعاية الجسدية:
- التغذية: يجب توفير تغذية صحية للطفل، سواء من خلال الرضاعة الطبيعية أو الرضاعة الصناعية. ينصح بالرضاعة الطبيعية حديث الولادة، ويجب تقديم الأطعمة الصلبة المناسبة حسب العمر عندما يكون الطفل جاهزًا لها.
- النوم: يحتاج الطفل إلى نوم كافٍ لتطوير جهازه العصبي واستعادة طاقته. ينصح بتوفير بيئة هادئة ومريحة للنوم وتحديد جدول زمني منتظم للنوم.
- النظافة: يتطلب الطفل النظافة اليومية، بما في ذلك الاستحمام المنتظم وتنظيف الأذنين والأنف والأظافر بلطف. كما يجب تجنب التعرض المفرط للمواد الكيميائية المهيجة لبشرته.
2. العناية العاطفية:
- التواصل والتفاعل: يجب توفير بيئة داعمة وحنونة للطفل، والتفاعل المستمر معه من خلال الابتسامات والعناق واللمس اللطيف. يعزز هذا الاتصال العاطفي الرابطة بين الطفل والوالدين أو المربين.
- اللعب: يعتبر اللعب وسيلة مهمة لتعزيز تطور الطفل العقلي والجسدي. يجب توفير اللعب المناسب لعمره والاشتراك معه في الأنشطة الترالعناية الاجتماعية:
التواصل الاجتماعي: يحتاج الطفل إلى التفاعل مع العالم الخارجي والتعرف على المجتمع من حوله. يجب تشجيع الطفل على التواصل مع أفراد الأسرة والأصدقاء والمشاركة في الأنشطة الاجتماعية المناسبة لعمره.
تطوير المهارات الاجتماعية: ينبغي تشجيع الطفل على تطوير مهارات التواصل والتعاون والتفاعل مع الآخرين. يمكن تحقيق ذلك من خلال اللعب الجماعي والمشاركة في الأنشطة الاجتماعية.
السلامة والحماية: يجب توفير بيئة آمنة للطفل، مع تأمين المنازل والأثاث لتجنب الحوادث. كما يجب تعليم الطفل بعض المفاهيم الأساسية للسلامة، مثل عدم لمس الأشياء الساخنة وعدم الاقتراب من الأشياء الخطرة.
العناية العقلية:
التحفيز العقلي: ينبغي توفير بيئة غنية بالتحفيز الحسي والعقلي لتطوير قدرات الطفل العقلية. يمكن ذلك من خلال تقديم ألعاب وأنشطة تعزز التفكير الإبداعي والمنطقي والتنمية الحركية.
القراءة والقصص: يعد القراءة للطفل من أهم الأنشطة التي تساهم في تطوير الذكاء والخيال والمهارات اللغوية. ينبغي قراءة القصص المناسبة لعمره والتفاعل معه خلال القراءة.

Introduction
Elder abuse is the intentional action that infringes harm or develops a fatal risk of harm. It is as well the failure by the caregivers to meet the elder’s basic needs or to safeguard the elder from harm. There has been limited research that has been conducted on elder abuse (Daly, Merchant & Jogerst, 2016). This study will major on elder abuse as well as the different ways that can be used to handle elder abuse.
Methods
To identify the current status as well as quality of elder abuse study, a well-detailed research of health science literature was carried out and every article was graded. All literature searches were carried out from the inception of every index through March 10, 2014 (Daly, Merchant & Jogerst, 2016).
Results
The majority of the elderly have suffered from abuse. In a period of 10 months, 40 cases, 51% had been physically abused, 10% had hearing as well as visual impairment and 41% were physically abused (Daly, Merchant & Jogerst, 2016). The most common form of abuse among these individuals was physical, psychological as well as material abuse.
Discussion
Based on the study, elder abuse is a worldwide public health as well as human right issue and the abuse of old individuals are related to inappropriate health outcomes from minor injuries to disabilities, long-lasting psychological issues, suicide, and maximized risk of being hospitalized (Daly, Merchant & Jogerst, 2016). Elderly abuse can be handled through counseling, adult day care programs, educating people on how to recognize and report elder abuse, and listening to the older people and their caregivers to understand their challenges and give support.
Conclusion
The older adult population is increasing at a high rate in the U.S. in comparison to the younger people. many older individuals need care and are vulnerable to violence from their caregivers.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

2. HIV / AIDS
• It is estimated that around 2.3 million people are currently living with HIV. HIV emerged
later in India than it did in several other countries. Infection rates soared throughout the
1990s, and today the endemic affects all sectors of Indian society, not just the groups –
such as sex workers and truck drivers – with which it was initially associated. In a country
where illiteracy, poverty and poor health are rife, the spread of HIV presents a daunting
challenge.
3. HIV/AIDS - India
• HIV/AIDS is a major concern for developing countries global. Lack of
education, poor nutrition and inadequate health care, linked with great
poverty, make people in the poorest countries most vulnerable to
HIV/AIDS. The HIV/AIDS pandemic is growing quickly every year,
resulting in NGOs working across a wide range of issues continuously
having to contend with an ever-increasing number of people in need of
their assistance
4. SDG and HIV/
AIDS
Stopping the spread of HIV/AIDS is necessary for
sustainable development. The huge size of India
makes it difficult to examine the effects of HIV on
the country as a whole. The majority of states
within India have a higher population than most
African countries, so a more detailed picture of the
emergency can be gained by looking at each state
individually.
5. Prevention of AIDS
• Prevention of AIDS which is spread largely through sexual
communication calls for every possible effort to be made to educate and
inform as many people as possible. Non-Government organizations by
virtue of their strengths of commitment, vigour, will, time and concern,
are better placed to inform and educate the people and masses.
6. NACO
• The National AIDS Control Organization established in June 1992 for
the coordination of NACP activities is in the procedure of developing a
true partnership with Non-Government Organizations to fight the
epidemic of AIDS that is threatening the country. The intentional Plan for
the Prevention and Control of AIDS in India has recommended a
strategy for involvement and collaborating with NGOs. The process of
selection of these NGOs in India to be flexible and transparent.

11. • Domestic violence statistics estimate that about 4 million women each year are
subjected to abuse committed by their male partners. It is the leading cause of
serious injury to women between the ages of 15 and 44, and more than 30
percent of women murdered each year are killed by a former husband or
boyfriend. Unfortunately, statistics regarding domestic violence committed by
women against their male partners, and within same-sex partnerships, are
scarce, as these individuals are less likely to report such acts due to fear of
ridicule. While substance abuse and the stresses of poverty contribute to the
prevalence of domestic violence, it occurs in all cultural, socioeconomic,
educational, and religious environments.
12. Emotional Abuse
Involves the destruction of a
person’s self worth or self
esteem. Acts of emotional abuse
include name-calling, constant
criticism, disparaging an
individual’s abilities and talents,
and damaging an individual’s
relationship with his or her
children.
13. Psychological
Abuse
Involves creating fear and a
sense of isolation and
helplessness. Acts of
psychological abuse include
causing fear through intimidation,
threatening to harm a spouse,
partner, children, family, friends,
pets, or self. Also, intentionally
isolating a person from family,
friends, school, work, and
extracurricular activities.
14. Economic Abuse
Involves exerting control over
another individual by maintaining
total control of financial
resources, withholding a
partner’s access to money or
financial assets, or hindering or
forbidding employment or
education.

16. • SNEHA is a non-profit organisation that works with women, children and
public health and safety systems. Our innovative work in urban informal
settlements aims to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality and
morbidity, child malnutrition and gender-based violence.
17. • In the early 1990’s, neonatologist Dr. Armida Fernandez and her team
were routinely caring for underweight and premature infants born into
low-income households. These households often faced poor nutritional
and health outcomes, especially among mothers and children. Dr.
Fernandez and her team wanted to develop sustainable interventions
that would go beyond simply providing stopgap solutions.
•
18. • They spent time in Mumbai’s low-income settlements, learning about
the compounding challenges of lack of information, resources and
access to quality health services. SNEHA was thus established in 1999
to work on the twin goals of improving health-seeking behaviour among
underserved communities and improving quality of public health
services

Programme aims to prevent and address violence at four levels of
society. Our approach embodies gender-transformative change,
rights and women-centred intervention.
• Individual
• Community
• Institutions
• Public policy
21. Individual
• We assist individuals on a case-by-case basis through our five Mumbai
crisis centres and four public hospital women’s outpatient departments.
These centres provide immediate and long-term counselling for
survivors of violence and facilitate access to medical, legal and police
services.
22. Community
• We work to empower communities to support individuals in cases of
violence. Our community-based women volunteers monitor the safety of
women and children in their area, provide emotional support and
connect women to crisis intervention services.
23. Institutions
• We train and sensitize police, staff of municipal
hospitals and legal aid lawyers to deal more
effectively with cases of violence.
24. Public Policy
• We advocate for public policies that can
enhance institutional response to domestic
violence. This includes effective implementation
of the Protection for Women against Domestic
Violence Act, 2005 and Protection of Children
against Sexual Offences, 2012.
25.
26. Partnerships
• Since 2015, we have been working with the non-
profit organisation, Ekjut, to adapt our gender-
based violence prevention model to rural and
urban Jharkhand. This project covers 22
villages, and the city of Ranchi. Together with
Ekjut, we have researched and developed new
methods for the identification of and response to
violence in these 23 locations. These include
working with women’s groups, government
health systems, and law and order systems.
