Contribution e forum gfatm 2015 from serbiaAS Centar
The document is a contribution report from a Serbian organization called AS - Center for the Empowerment of Youth Living with HIV and AIDS to the E-Forum GFATM in Serbia in 2015. It discusses challenges facing people living with HIV/AIDS in Serbia, including lack of access to diagnostic tests and newer treatment drugs, as well as high prices for HIV treatment. It calls for strengthening cooperation between civil society organizations and health institutions to improve support services and ensure their sustainability. The organization proposes establishing a civil society forum for HIV/AIDS in Serbia to facilitate participation of people living with HIV in policy processes and development.
Global civil society letter to the inter agency expert group on sdg indicator...AS Centar
Over 100 health and Development organisations, including several IAPB members, sign advocacy letter to body working on SDGs monitoring framework
Universal health coverage (UHC) is a target under the health goal for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be finalised in September 2015. The UHC target is a key one for eye health – there is a need for a more sustainable, universal approach to health and comprehensive building up of health system capacities, within which eye health can be integrated, as acknowledged in the “Universal eye health; A global action plan 2014 -2019” (GAP). Further, the recent joint WHO/ World Bank report ‘Tracking Universal Health Coverage First Global Monitoring Report’, recognises the usefulness of cataract surgical coverage as an indicator to contribute to measuring success in universal health coverage.
However, current proposals for measuring UHC within the SDGs fall far short of expectations. IAPB and many members have joined health NGOs in a call to the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on SDG Indicators (IAEG-SDGs) to review and improve upon their proposal. The IAEG-SDGs are proposing to measure only one component of UHC, either financial risk protection or health service coverage. As has been made clear by civil society partners, the WHO and World Bank, UHC comprises both measures and measuring only one component would give a worryingly incomplete picture of progress which may negatively affect SDG implementation, and it could reduce possibilities for entry points for advocating for eye health inclusion when it comes to setting national level priorities. Measurement largely directs policy and SDG indicators will have significant consequences for SDG implementation.
The IAEG – SDGs is made up of a number of member states’ national statistic offices. If your country is listed here we would also encourage you to send a copy of the final letter to your national statistics office.
If you have any queries, please contact Zoe Gray, Advocacy Manager, IAPB.

This document provides an alternative report on torture and ill-treatment in Serbia to the UN Committee against Torture. It summarizes issues related to the criminalization of torture, treatment of asylum seekers and irregular migrants, torture and ill-treatment in detention, investigation and prosecution of such cases, reparation and rehabilitation for victims, human trafficking, and treatment of vulnerable groups. Several NGOs contributed sections on their areas of expertise. The report finds that Serbian law does not properly define and criminalize torture in line with the UN Convention and recommends amendments to address this. It also notes issues with statutes of limitations and calls for reopening past cases.
AIDS i nezadovoljstvo - Ucutkivanje gay seksualnosti u SrbijiAS Centar
This dissertation analyzes how the perpetuation of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Serbia directly results from the rejection and silencing of gay sexuality. Rates of HIV diagnosis remain high, with 30% of cases identified at the terminal stage. Gay men with HIV face double discrimination based on their sexuality and illness status. This causes them to conceal their sexual identity and HIV status for as long as possible. Discrimination against gay sexuality is structured around the majority's silence on the issue. This enforced silence leads to mimicry in gay people's body politics and forces "coming out" in medical settings, revealing sexuality in a discriminatory society. The dissertation argues Serbia's public health policies fail to address the epidemic due to lack of sexual education and inclusion

Priručnik za vršnjačke edukatore na temu polno prenosivih infekcija - AS CentarAS Centar
Svedoci smo sve ranijeg stupanja mladih, posebno srednjoškolaca, u seksualne odnose, povećane stope abortusa među tom populacijom i povećanja prenošenja polno prenosivih infekcija (PPI). Reproduktivno zdravlje mladih podrazumeva normalni polni razvoj i sazrevanje. Takođe je bitno da mladi imaju zadovoljavajući i siguran seksualni život, razvoj zdravih, ravnopravnih i odgovornih odnosa, ostvarenje reproduktivne funkcije na zdrav i željen način, kao i sprečavanje polno prenosivih infekcija, oboljenja i povreda u vezi sa seksualnošću i reprodukcijom.
Radeći sa učenicima srednjih škola u Beogradu, osmislili smo brošuru „ILI TI ILI PPI!“ sa osnovnim ciljem da upoznamo mlade osobe sa osnovama prevencije i lečenja polno prenosivih infekcija (PPI). Ovom brošurom, želimo da skrenemo pažnju mladima o rizičnim oblicima seksualnog ponašanja i posledicama koje mogu nastati usled neodgovornog seksualnog odnosa.
Brošura pruža korisne informacije o polno prenosivim infekcijama i adrese na koje se mladi mogu obratiti, a prilagođena je tako da može biti korisna i pripadnicima nevladinih i drugih organizacija, budućim vršnjačkim edukatorima, pojedincima i svima koji se bave zaštitom reproduktivnog zdravlja i prevencijom polno prenosivih infekcija (PPI).

The document discusses the advocacy achievements of the Bridging the Gaps global partners from 2011-2014. It describes the program's establishment in 2011 with funding from the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs to achieve universal access to HIV services for key populations. Through the efforts of global and local partner organizations, nearly 700,000 people received HIV services, over 200 organizations engaged in human rights advocacy, and key population services were integrated into nearly 100 health facilities. The document provides details on the program's approach and a theory of change to guide advocacy work.
This document outlines two case studies from a project in Greece aimed at promoting mental health and human rights. The first case study created a network to facilitate access to community services through a single entry point. This reduced response times and unmet needs. The second case study established Greece's first advocacy office for mental health patients. It provides legal support and has helped over 110 people with issues like involuntary admission and discrimination. The advocacy office faces challenges from a fragmented mental health system and lack of cooperation. The case studies provide examples of interventions to address barriers to rights faced by those with mental illness.

The document summarizes the results of community dialogue meetings held in Lira and Alebtong districts of Uganda to discuss maternal and child health and HIV/AIDS services. The meetings found that health centers suffered from low staffing, occasional drug stockouts, and poor patient-provider relations. Participants agreed to establish scorecard teams at each health facility involving community members, health workers, and leaders to monthly monitor and publicly display key service indicators to promote accountability. The initiative aims to strengthen health service delivery through participatory monitoring and feedback between communities and providers.

This document provides a project proposal from Malish Foundation Uganda seeking funding of UGX534,624,100 for a 4-year project to empower communities and older persons in West Nile Region of Uganda. The project aims to strengthen skills in social, economic and service delivery issues through activities like training, advocacy, and capacity building.

Monitoring and evaluation of outputs and outcomes will be conducted regularly with community involvement.
The underground HIV epidemic in Eastern Europe and Central Asia disproportionately affects children and young people. Over one third of new HIV infections in the region are among those aged 15-24, and more than 80% of people living with HIV are under 30. The epidemic is driven by injecting drug use and increasing sexual transmission. Many children experience homelessness, engage in high-risk behaviors, and have limited access to healthcare and social support due to poverty, family problems, and weak social systems following the collapse of the Soviet Union. While some progress has been made, more needs to be done to expand access to services, address stigma, and change social environments to protect vulnerable children from HIV.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.
