"Armed violence reduction within the post-2015 agenda"
Regional Review Conference on the Geneva Declaration on Armed Violence and Development
Geneva, Switzerland | 8-9 July 2014
The document outlines key goals and targets related to achieving sustainable development and reducing violence and discrimination globally by 2030. The goals include significantly reducing violence and death rates, ensuring access to information and protecting freedoms, ending abuse and exploitation of children, developing effective institutions, promoting the rule of law and equal access to justice, ensuring inclusive decision-making, strengthening participation of developing countries in global governance, providing legal identities for all including birth registration, and promoting non-discriminatory laws and policies for sustainable development.
The Participation Promise “Security Council Resolution 1325Dr Lendy Spires
The participation promise October 2010 marked the tenth anniversary of Security Council Resolution 1325 (‘SCR 1325’) on Women, Peace and Security. The previous ten years have delivered an agenda for action on SCR 1325. However, it is critical that the next ten are about creating real change for women and their conflict-affected communities. We need concrete action backed by resources and commitment at the international, national, and local levels to ensure the participation promise, made to women all over the world, is realised.
SCR 1325 is first and foremost about peace and security.The inclusion of women is rooted in the premise that their presence, participation and perspectives will improve the chances of attaining viable and sustainable peace. It is also based on the knowledge that if half the population faces discrimination and violence there can be no peace.2 Rebuilding after conflict provides a window of opportunity to transform the status quo. This requires recognition of the roles which women have played during the conflict (such as combatants, economic actors, leaders and peacemakers in their local communities) and post-conflict peacebuilding and recovery processes which include the needs, skills and experiences of women. Why does women’s participation matter?
The participation of women in peacemaking, peacekeeping and peacebuilding assures their experiences, priorities and solutions contribute to stability, inclusive governance and sustainable peace.” 3 A question of justice Women as a group make up half the world’s population and should be able to participate in decisions which affect their lives. This is enshrined in international human rights standards such as the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). Different perspectives and priorities Women’s experiences of conflict and the aftermath of conflict frequently differ from those of men.

The document discusses the progress made towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals and recommendations for the post-2015 development framework. It notes that while progress has been made in reducing poverty, disease, and improving education and health, many targets will not be fully met by the 2015 deadline. It calls for the new framework to promote sustainable development, equity, social and gender equality, and to apply globally with a focus on poverty reduction, health, education, human rights, and good governance. Quantifiable targets are recommended to serve as minimum global standards.
This document discusses the 20th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, which affirmed the important role of women in conflict prevention and resolution. It was the first international agreement to recognize gender differences in armed conflict and call for equal representation of women in decision making. However, the document notes that violence against women, such as domestic violence and femicide, remains a serious threat, even in peacetime. It argues that true peace and security cannot exist if women do not feel safe in their own homes. Therefore, after 20 years, countries must implement National Action Plans to promote women's participation in conflict resolution at all levels to realize the goals of the Women, peace and security agenda.
This document discusses reducing inequalities as outlined in UN Sustainable Development Goal 10. It notes that while laws may provide for equality, in practice extreme gaps exist between formal rights and actual equality. To address this, a 3-point framework is proposed focusing on resources, respect, and voice. Specific targets and policies are outlined to promote inclusion, equal opportunities, and reduce inequality outcomes through 2030. Barriers to achieving equality are analyzed, including lack of quality data and surveys in some countries.
The document discusses intergenerational consequences of inequality and outlines strategies to reduce inequality across generations. It notes that inequality affects access to education, health, livelihoods, and security for both older and younger generations. Cash transfer programs and universal pension plans in countries like Brazil, Zambia, and Lesotho have helped to increase investments in health, education, and livelihoods while reducing poverty and inequality between generations.
Sustainable Development Goal 16 is to Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels. 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. (Sajid Imtiaz)
The document outlines the eight Millennium Development Goals agreed upon by 193 UN member states to achieve by 2015: 1) eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, 2) achieve universal primary education, 3) promote gender equality and empower women, 4) reduce child mortality, 5) improve maternal health, 6) combat HIV/AIDS and other diseases, 7) ensure environmental sustainability, and 8) develop a global partnership for development. It provides details and current status updates on progress toward targets for each goal.

The document discusses women and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the UN in 2015. It provides an executive summary of the goals and their focus on gender equality. It then analyzes each of the 17 goals and how they relate to women, including examples of UN Women's initiatives in Eastern and Southern Africa to support each goal around issues like ending poverty, ending hunger, health, education, and others. The document aims to help countries in the region understand how to localize the SDGs and establish partnerships to achieve them, with a focus on women.
The UN established eight Millennium Development Goals in 2000 that 193 member states committed to achieving by 2015: (1) eradicate extreme poverty and hunger; (2) achieve universal primary education; (3) promote gender equality; (4) reduce child mortality; (5) improve maternal health; (6) combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases; (7) ensure environmental sustainability; and (8) develop a global partnership for development. Progress has been made on some goals like reducing poverty and increasing access to clean water, but many countries will likely miss targets for reducing child and maternal mortality and combating diseases without accelerated efforts.
The United Nations is an organization of 193 member states working towards global goals like human rights, gender equality, and peace. It was founded in 1945 after World War II to prevent future global conflicts. The UN campaigns on 17 Sustainable Development Goals to improve the world, and has achieved impacts like ending conflicts, combating terrorism and hunger, and promoting human rights. However, there is still work to be done to fully achieve these goals like eliminating poverty and ensuring clean water and sanitation for all.
Women in Parliament Global Summit 2016 - Keynote Presentation by H.E. Marie-L...presidentmt
This document is a speech by Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca, President of Malta, about women's leadership in addressing the refugee crisis. Some key points:
1) Preca argues that women leaders must work to transform societies into cultures of peace and inclusion in order to address the root causes of migration like inequality, poverty and conflict.
2) She notes that over 182,000 people have crossed the Mediterranean already in 2016, with 1,261 reported deaths, and that refugee and migrant women face additional risks.
3) Preca calls on women leaders to propose new strategies and policies that prioritize empowering and protecting vulnerable people, especially women, through promoting gender equality, non-discrimination
The document provides an overview of global poverty and economic development. It discusses that nearly half the world lives in poverty, though some countries have transitioned from poor to rich. Africa continues to lag behind in development. Mobile technology is enabling growth in poor countries. There is debate around how to reduce extreme poverty.

This document discusses concepts of poverty reduction, development, and sustainable development in the Nepali context. It defines poverty as a lack of basic needs, capabilities, and freedoms. Poverty is caused by lack of assets, voice, and vulnerability. Efforts in Nepal to reduce poverty through economic growth, social services, targeted programs and good governance have faced challenges from political instability and conflict. Ending poverty requires building human, physical, financial, natural, and social capital. True development is a participatory process that meets peoples' basic needs and allows them to realize their potential with dignity. Development and poverty reduction depend on supportive cultures, policies, and empowering local participation.
Habitat report 2007: A Safe City is a Just CityHabitatNorway
The document discusses whether a safe city can also be considered a just city, noting that safety and justice are complex issues that depend on many factors. It gives an example of how clearing streets of unwanted people ahead of conferences improved safety but reduced justice. The document also examines how increasing security measures have impacted citizens' freedom of movement in cities.
This document summarizes opposing viewpoints on whether inequality matters for poverty reduction. It discusses the World Bank's perspective that inequality does not necessarily hinder poverty alleviation if economic growth occurs. However, Robert Wade and Simon Maxwell argue that inequality complicates anti-poverty efforts and should be reduced simultaneously with poverty. The author ultimately agrees with Wade and Maxwell, concluding that inequality and poverty are intertwined and comprehensive strategies are needed that incorporate both economic and human development factors to effectively reduce poverty and inequality.
Inclusive sustainable development gender and climate change8 (2)UNDP Policy Centre
The document discusses inclusive sustainable development and accounting for gender in climate policy. It notes that development cannot be achieved if half the population is left out. Gender equality is key to effective development. Climate change disproportionately impacts women in terms of livelihood security, social security, and physical security. Mainstreaming gender in climate policies and programs is important but implementation is lacking. More balanced investment is needed between mitigation and adaptation in climate finance to help vulnerable groups cope with climate risks. Stakeholders have a role to play in ensuring quality and accountability in climate actions and finance.
Food and agriculture are vital to achieving the SDGs. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), is leading international efforts to eradicate world hunger and build fairer societies.
The document discusses poverty globally and strategies to address it. It notes that almost half the world lives on less than $2.50 a day, and poverty disproportionately impacts rural areas and children. It then compares global spending on issues like education, health and nutrition to show how little is spent addressing poverty's root causes. Several factors that drive and perpetuate poverty are described, including debt, inequality, lack of social mobility, and corruption. The document outlines some organizations and approaches working to reduce poverty, such as achieving the UN's Millennium Development Goals and providing microfinance opportunities. It raises questions about the most effective strategies and whether poverty, inequality or debt should be prioritized.
Australia is committed to ending all forms of violence against women and girls through its foreign policy and international development programs. It works at global, regional, and country levels to [1] provide support services to victims of violence, [2] increase access to justice, and [3] prevent future violence. Key approaches include supporting the UN and regional partnerships, funding programs implemented by NGOs and governments, and advocating for policies to address the root causes of violence through changing attitudes and norms.
During the Covid19 pandemic, the Canadian federal and Québec governments decided to implement total containment. This decision significantly affected people in situations of vulnerability and poverty, such as isolated seniors, the homeless, young families in precarious situations, people with mental health problems, people with disabilities, visible minorities, and newcomers. First of all, they often lost almost all their sources of income without the compensation provided by the federal government. Besides, the confinement and fear of the virus significantly reduced the density of social support they previously enjoyed. They were often completely disoriented.
Centraide of Greater Montréal, a public foundation omnipresent in the fight against poverty and its effects, together with many community organizations working around various social issues such as food security and housing, and several governmental and non-governmental actors inevitably found themselves amid this great social crisis. How did they manage this? What were the effects on vulnerable people? What will be the strategic implications of this crisis for the future?
This was the purpose of the study that the Chair of Strategy and Society at HEC Montréal undertook, with the collaboration of officials and volunteers from Centraide and the community agencies concerned. This research was funded in a partnership between Mitacs (a national research grant agency), Centraide, and HEC Montréal (the business school affiliated with the University de Montréal).
Luigi De Martino - Secretariat of the Geneva DeclarationGeneva Declaration
This document discusses indicators for development goals related to peace, security and governance. It summarizes recommendations from a UN High-Level Panel for indicators to measure progress on goals like ensuring stable and peaceful societies, empowering women, and ensuring good governance. Specific targets and sample indicators are provided for a goal on ensuring stable and peaceful societies, including reducing violent deaths and increasing capacity of security forces. The document advocates for a global measuring system to monitor trends on sustainable development goals and calls for establishing various mechanisms like a global forum and partnerships to support monitoring.
This document discusses several current global issues and how education can help address them. It outlines topics like climate change, pollution, violence, lack of security/well-being, lack of education, unemployment, corruption, hunger, substance abuse and terrorism. It also summarizes the UN's Millennium Development Goals and the new 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals aimed at solving these global challenges through education and a holistic approach.

The primary challenge facing the twenty-first century is to eliminate violence against women. At minimum, 1 in 3 women face violence that suppresses their political and civic participation. Until it is confronted, we will not be able to tackle peace holistically or sustainably, and our development dollars are not being used effectively. Like polio, Rotarians are key to meeting this challenge!
The document summarizes the key points from an NGO forum on the Beijing Platform for Action held in Geneva. It recognizes achievements made for women's rights in the region but also ongoing gaps and new challenges. It celebrates progress in education, health, women's organizations, and legal frameworks, but notes ongoing disparities. It expresses concern that austerity measures have disproportionately impacted women and that violence against women remains pervasive. It calls for full implementation of commitments to advance women's rights and gender equality.
This document provides an overview of a presentation on gender equality and mainstreaming gender in drug prevention and recovery efforts. It discusses definitions of key terms like gender and health. It outlines UN sustainable development goals and milestones on gender mainstreaming. Data on issues facing women like health risks, violence, and social determinants of health are presented. The document then describes UNICRI's mandate and a project called DAWN which aims to advocate for gender-responsive interventions for substance use. Tools to support gender mainstreaming in this area are also mentioned.
Children in Danger: Act to End Violence Against Children ABA IHRC
Every five minutes, a child is killed by violence, a new report by UNICEF UK said. A majority of these deaths occur outside of war zones. The report, published this week by the UK branch of the United Nations children’s agency, said that violence kills more than 340 people under the age of 20 every day around the globe. Seventy-five percent of these deaths are reportedly caused by interpersonal violence, rather than war.

Social determinants of health are factors that influence individual and population health outcomes. These factors include the physical environment, social and economic conditions, and health behaviors. They account for a significant degree of variability in how long and how well people live. Key social determinants include access to healthcare, income/socioeconomic status, education, physical environment, social support systems, employment status, and community safety. Addressing social determinants through multisectoral policies and interventions can help reduce health inequalities within and between countries.

This document discusses the role of public health in preventing violence. It argues that violence should be viewed as a public health problem and that the public health community has neglected this role. It makes three key points:
1) The public health community should be more interested in violence prevention and promote the evidence base for effective crime and violence prevention strategies.
2) Public health directors should provide leadership for local crime and violence prevention partnerships and agendas.
3) The police are interested in evidence-based approaches to crime prevention and public policy.
The document provides information on the magnitude of violence as a global public health issue, risk factors, and evidence for effective primary, secondary and tertiary prevention strategies. It emphasizes
This document discusses domestic violence in Haiti. It reports that 14.59% of Haitian women experience physical violence and 9.87% experience severe physical or sexual violence from intimate partners. Domestic violence results in health costs from injury, disease, and lost productivity. Three interventions are proposed: rebuilding a women's shelter, establishing a national helpline, and implementing a teenage dating violence prevention program in schools. The shelter and helpline interventions have benefit-cost ratios above 2.1 and 3.3 respectively. The teenage program has a lower estimated benefit-cost ratio of 0.1 to 3.3 due to its high delivery costs and limited school attendance rates.
“LEE’s PERCEPTIONS ON HUMAN SECURITY IN AFRICA”John LEE
This document summarizes Lee's perceptions on human security in Africa. It discusses how human security is threatened in multiple ways across Africa, including economic, food, health, environmental, personal, community, and political security dimensions. It also examines factors that shape security, like conflicts, instability, attacks, poverty, and disease. Conflict is prevalent in Africa due to factors like colonial boundaries, poverty, competition over resources, and refugee crises undermine stability. To improve human security, the document recommends policies promoting social inclusion, equitable access to resources, human rights protections, and partnerships between security institutions and other organizations.
America cares hiv-aids in black america#GOMOJO, INC.
Increase community awareness of HIV/AIDS and HIV prevention strategies.
Increase community understanding of the clinical research process.
Develop and strengthen relationships with community stakeholders, including (but not limited to) medical care providers, STD/HIV counseling and testing providers, faith leaders, Non Governmental Organizations and Community Based Organizations.
Increasingly, African Americans in general are recognizing that HIV is wreaking devastation across our communities. Those who have joined the fight against HIV and AIDS in Black communities are coming to understand that it is a difficult and multifaceted problem—but that it is also a winnable war. With this report, we aim to arm those people with the information they need to get there.
The document discusses measuring peace and introduces the Positive Peace Index, which aims to understand the drivers of peace beyond just the absence of violence. It summarizes that the Positive Peace Index measures eight pillars of peace: well-functioning government, sound business environment, equitable distribution of resources, acceptance of rights of others, good relations with neighbors, free flow of information, high levels of human capital, and low levels of corruption. The document presents the indicators used to measure each pillar and introduces maps showing the results of the Positive Peace Index for countries.
The document discusses the issue of violence against women and girls around the world. It notes that 70% of women experience violence and 40-70% of murdered women are killed by intimate partners. While most countries have laws against violence, perpetrators often go unpunished. The document calls for efforts to eliminate structural factors that enable violence, a lack of respect for human rights, and failure to address the core problems and implement long-term solutions. It proposes strategies like education, public awareness campaigns, and strengthening laws and their enforcement.

While the Asia-Pacific region is home to over half the world's population, it accounts for less than a quarter of global lethal violence. Nine out of ten countries in the region have low violence rates, except for Southern Asia which exceeds the global average. Approximately one-third of all conflict deaths worldwide occur in the Asia-Pacific, driven largely by Afghanistan, India, Pakistan and Myanmar. Firearm violence and deaths from unplanned munitions explosions are also relatively high in parts of the region.

This presentation addresses the challenges of armed violence in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Kenya, which has faced security issues due to the proliferation of illicit small arms and light weapons. Kenya has implemented initiatives to address both the supply and demand of these weapons, including arms collection, destruction, record keeping, and legal/policy reforms. However, external factors like weapons trafficking from conflict areas, terrorism, and regional instability still pose challenges. A comprehensive, integrated approach is needed that combines security and development efforts to address the root causes of armed violence in a sustainable manner.

This document discusses the importance of including peace as a goal in the post-2015 development agenda. It argues that peace is necessary for sustainable development and poverty eradication. While some may be concerned that including peace could securitize development or violate sovereignty, the document responds that peace targets could focus on preventing conflict, be implemented locally, and do not require external intervention. It recommends improving the language and reducing the number of targets for the proposed Goal 16 on peace and governance to make it more measurable and manageable.

AHMR is an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed online journal created to encourage and facilitate the study of all aspects (socio-economic, political, legislative and developmental) of Human Mobility in Africa. Through the publication of original research, policy discussions and evidence research papers AHMR provides a comprehensive forum devoted exclusively to the analysis of contemporaneous trends, migration patterns and some of the most important migration-related issues.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
