Título: New Zealand Gender Equality
Objetivo 5: Igualdad de género / Goal 5: Gender Equality
By: Claudia Manrique Gallar
The legal aspects surrounding surrogacy are complex, diverse and mostly unsettled. In most of the countries world over , the woman giving birth to a child is considered as the Child's legal mother. However, in very few countries, the Intended Parents are be recognized as the legal parents from birth by the virtue of the fact that the Surrogate has contracted to give the birth of the Child for the commissioned Parents. India is one country amongst the few, which recognize the Intended/ Commissioning Parent/s as the legal parents. Many states now issue pre-birth orders through the courts placing the name(s) of the intended parent(s) on the birth certificate from the start. In others the possibility of surrogacy is either not recognized (all contracts specifying different legal parents are void), or is prohibited.

Bhutan is not a common nation. It is the last huge Himalayan empire, enveloped in mystery and magic, where a traditional culture of Buddhism closely embraces worldwide trends. Thimphu is its capital and biggest town, and its economic center in Phuntsholing. Bhutan's independence has endured for millennia, and in its past, it has never been colonized. Bhutan has a lot of surprises. This is a country where the rice is red and where chilies aren't just a seasoning but the main dish. It is also a profoundly Buddhist land where after performing divination monks check their smartphones.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. officially the Nation of Brunei, the Abode of Peace , is a sovereign
state located on the north coast of the island of Borneo, in Southeast Asia.
Apart from its coastline with theSouth China Sea, it is completely surrounded
by the state of Sarawak, Malaysia, and it is separated into two parts by the
Sarawak district of Limbang. It is the only sovereign state completely on the
island of Borneo, with the remainder of the island forming parts of Malaysia
and Indonesia. Brunei's population was 401,890 in July 2011.
The official national history claims that Brunei can trace its beginnings to the
7th century, when it was a subject state named P'o-li, in the Sumatra-
centric Srivijayan empire. It later became a vassal state of the Java-
centric Majapahit empire. Brunei became a sultanate in the 14th century,
under a newly converted Islamic sultan—Muhammad Shah.
Brunei has the second highest Human Development Index among the South
East Asia nations after Singapore, and is classified as a developed
country. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Brunei is
ranked fifth in the world by gross domestic product per capita atpurchasing
power parity.The IMF also states in a 2011 estimate that Brunei was one of
two countries (the other being Libya) with their public debt at 0% of the
national GDP. Forbes also ranks Brunei as the fifth richest nation out of 182
nations due to its extensive petroleum and natural gas fields.
Brunei
Capital: Bandar Seri Begawan
3. Brunei has an absolute monarchy. It has a legal system based on English
common law, although Islamic shariah law supersedes this in some
cases. The country also has its own parliament.
The political system in the country is governed by the constitution and
the tradition of the Malay Islamic Monarchy, the concept of "Melayu Islam
Beraja" (MIB).The three components of MIB cover Malay culture, Islamic
religion and the political framework under the monarchy.
Under Brunei's 1959 constitution, His Majesty Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan
Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah is the head of state with
full executive authority, including emergency powers which are renewed
every two years, since 1962. The Sultan's role is enshrined in the national
ideology known as Melayu Islam Beraja (MIB),
or Malay Muslim Monarchy.The country has been under
hypothetical martial law since the Brunei Revolt of 1962. Hassanal
Bolkiah is also the state's Prime Minister, Finance Minister and Defence
Minister.The Royal family retains a venerated status within the country.

5. This small, wealthy economy is a mixture
of foreign and domestic entrepreneurship, government
regulation, welfare measures, and village tradition.
Crude oil and natural gas production account for about 90% of its GDP. About
167,000 barrels of oil are produced every day, making Brunei the fourth
largest producer of oil in South-east Asia. It also produces approximately
895,000,000 cubic feet (25,300,000 m3) of liquified natural gas per day,
making Brunei the ninth-largest exporter of the substance in the world.
Substantial income from overseas investment supplements with income from
domestic production. Most of these investments are made by the Brunei
Investment Agency, an arm of the Ministry of Finance.The government
provides for all medical services and subsidizes rice and housing.The
national air carrier, Royal Brunei Airlines, is trying to make Brunei a modest
hub for international travel between Europe and Australia/New Zealand.
Central to this strategy is the position that the airline maintains at London
Heathrow Airport. It holds a daily slot at the highly capacity-controlled
airport, which it serves from Bandar Seri Begawan via Dubai.The airline also
has services to major Asian destinations including Shanghai, Bangkok,
Singapore and Manila.
Economy
6. Brunei's leaders are very concerned that steadily increased integration in the
world economy will undermine internal social cohesion although it became a
more prominent player by serving as chairman for the 2000 Asia-Pacific
Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum. Stated plans for the future include
upgrading the labour force, reducing unemployment, which currently stands
at 6%,strengthening the banking and tourism sectors, and, in general,
further widening the economic base.
To achieve its target for food self-sufficiency, Brunei renamed its Brunei
Darussalam Rice 1 to Laila Rice during the launch of the "Padi Planting
Towards Achieving Self-Sufficiency of Rice Production in Brunei Darussalam"
ceremony at the Wasan padi fields in April 2009.
7. The law prohibits sexual harassment and stipulates that whoever assaults
or uses criminal force, intending thereby to outrage or knowing it is likely
to outrage the modesty of a person, shall be punished with imprisonment
for as much as five years and caning.The law stipulates imprisonment of
up to 30 years and caning with not fewer than 12 strokes for rape.The law
does not criminalize spousal rape; it explicitly states that sexual
intercourse by a man with his wife, as long as she is not under 13 years of
age, is not rape. Protections against sexual assault by a spouse are
provided under the amended Islamic Family Law Order 2010 and Married
Women Act Order 2010, and the penalty for breaching a protection order
is a fine not exceeding BN$2,000 ($1,538) or imprisonment not exceeding
six months. During the year 23 rape cases were reported; at year's end
police were investigating 11 and had forwarded 10 to the Attorney
General Chambers.
Laws and human rights
(Laws concerning women)
8. There is no specific domestic violence law, but arrests have been made in
domestic violence cases under the Women and Girls Protection Act. The
police investigate domestic violence only in response to a report by a victim.
The police were generally responsive in the investigation of such cases.
During the year there were a total of 62 cases of spousal dispute abuse
reported; at year's end 55 cases were under investigation, and eight had been
forwarded to the Attorney General Chambers.The criminal penalty for a
minor domestic assault is one to two weeks in jail and a fine. An assault
resulting in serious injury is punishable by caning and a longer prison
sentence. A special unit staffed by female officers existed within the police
department to investigate domestic abuse and child abuse complaints. A
hotline was available for persons to report domestic violence.The Ministry of
Culture,Youth, and Sport's Department of Community Development provided
counseling for women and their spouses. Based on individual circumstances,
some female and minor victims were placed in protective custody while
waiting for their cases to be brought to court. Islamic courts staffed by male
and female officials offered counseling to married couples in domestic
violence cases. Officials did not encourage wives to reconcile with flagrantly
abusive spouses, and Islamic courts recognized assault as grounds for divorce.
9. (Laws concerning children)
Citizenship is derived through one's parents rather than through birth within
the country's territory. Parents with stateless status are required to apply for
a special pass for a child born in the country; failure to register a child may
make it difficult to enroll the child in school. By law sexual intercourse with a
female under 14 years of age constitutes rape and is punishable by
imprisonment for not less than eight years and not more than 30 years and
not less than 12 strokes of the cane. The intent of the law is to protect girls
from exploitation through prostitution and "other immoral purposes,"
including pornography.
10. Healthcare in Brunei is charged at B$1 per consultation for citizens.A health
center run by Brunei Shell Petroleum is located in Panaga. For medical
assistance not available in the country, citizens are sent overseas at the
government's expense.
The largest hospital in Brunei is Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha
Hospital (RIPAS) hospital, which has 538 beds, is situated in the country's
capital Bandar Seri Begawan.There are two private medical centers, Gleneagles
JPMC Sdn Bhd. and Jerudong Park Medical Centre.The Health Promotion Centre
opened in November 2008 and serves to educate the public on the importance of
having a healthy lifestyle.
There is currently no medical school in Brunei, and Bruneians wishing to study to
become doctors must attend university overseas. However, the Institute of
Medicines had been introduced at theUniversiti Brunei Darussalam and a new
building has been built for the faculty.The building, including research lab
facilities, was completed in 2009.There has been a School of Nursing since 1951.
58 nurse managers were appointed in RIPAS to improve service and provide
better medical care. In December 2008,The nursing college merged with the
Institute of Medicines at the Universiti Brunei Darussalam to produce more
nurses and midwives. It is now called the PAPRSB (Pengiran Anak Puteri
Rashidah Sa'datul Bolkiah) Institute of Health Sciences.
Health care
11. The culture of Brunei is
predominantly Malay (reflecting its
ethnicity), with heavy influences
from Islam, but is seen as more
conservative than Malaysia.Influences to
Bruneian culture come from the Malay
cultures of the Malay Archipelago. Four
periods of cultural influence have
occurred, animist, Hindu, Islamic, and
Western. Islam had a very strong
influence, and was adopted as Brunei's
ideology and philosophy.
Culture
12. Brunei is a southeast Asian country consisting of two
unconnected parts with the total area of 5,765 square
kilometres (2,226 sq mi). It has 161 kilometres (100 mi) of
coastline next to the South China sea, and it shares a 381 km
(237 mi) border with Malaysia. It has 500 square kilometres
(193 sq mi) of territorial waters, and an 200 nautical
mile exclusive economic zone.
