Botswana is a former British colony in Africa that gained independence in 1966. It has had one of the fastest growing economies on the continent due to being a major diamond producer. However, Botswana now has the second highest HIV/AIDS rate in the world at 24.1% of the population infected. The country's response to the epidemic has evolved in three stages from eliminating transmission through blood to expanding prevention, education, and treatment programs. Current efforts focus on targeting high-risk groups and improving access to antiretroviral therapy nationwide.

Botswana is a former British colony in Africa that gained independence in 1966. It has had one of the fastest growing economies on the continent due to being a major diamond producer. However, the country faces a major challenge from HIV/AIDS - Botswana has the second highest infection rate in the world at 24.1% of the population. The government has implemented various stages of response, beginning with eliminating transmission through blood and focusing on awareness programs, and now targeting prevention, education, and providing antiretroviral treatment through a national program. Despite these efforts, HIV/AIDS remains a serious problem.

It finds that while projects have helped improve access to food, water, housing, and income generation, many residents still lack education, skills, and infrastructure. It recommends expanding target groups, increasing budgets, improving training, providing more loans, and addressing issues like water logging and schools. Overall, the projects have had a positive impact but more remains to be done to fully alleviate poverty in the area.
Gender Equality Update No 3 - 9 July 2015 Final
1) A Core Group was formed to implement and disseminate the Common Charter of Demands by women's groups which outlines demands in areas such as women's representation, food security, prevention of violence against women, and special programs for women.
2) The Post-Disaster Needs Assessment concluded that women were disproportionately affected by the earthquake due to gender roles and dominance in agriculture. Increased risks of violence, human trafficking, and early marriage were also found.
3) Reconstruction efforts should promote equitable access to land and housing, as well as restoration of health and sanitation services to address women's needs. Meaningful participation of women in recovery programs is also critical.
HIV Pandemic Research Project
- Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest number of people (22.5 million) living with HIV/AIDS, followed by South and South-East Asia (4.1 million).
- HIV is transmitted through unprotected sex with an infected partner, sharing needles contaminated with infected blood, and transmission from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding.
- Education about safe sex practices and increasing access to antiretroviral drugs are seen as important strategies for controlling the spread of HIV/AIDS.
Poverty (BB sec 2 citizenship 2014)
The document defines poverty and provides statistics about its global impact. It states that half of the world lives on less than $2.50 a day, the richest 20% of the world accounts for 75% of global income while the poorest 40% accounts for only 5% of income. Poverty is linked to 22,000 daily deaths according to UNICEF as well as widespread diseases, hunger, illiteracy, homelessness, and violence. The document also outlines some measures taken to address poverty including international anti-poverty days, government welfare programs, non-profits, and microfinance organizations like the Grameen Bank founded by Muhammad Yunus which has loaned billions to the poor.

Culture of Poverty in the Philippines [REPORT]
This document provides an overview of poverty in the Philippines. It defines poverty and discusses its causes such as lack of education, lack of jobs, large family sizes, inequality, corruption, and overpopulation. The population adapts to poverty by engaging in practices like "pagpag" which involves foraging leftover food from garbage. Some key points are that 22 million Filipinos live in poverty, poverty is linked to lack of access to health services and education, and corruption hampers efforts to alleviate poverty through social programs.
Poverty
The document discusses various definitions of poverty from different organizations. The World Bank defines poverty as an income level below what is needed to meet basic needs, with the poverty line varying by country and over time. The UN defines poverty as a denial of opportunities and human dignity. It means a lack of access to food, shelter, education, healthcare, land and jobs. The World Summit in 1995 characterized poverty as severe deprivation of basic human needs. Townsend defined poverty as lacking resources to participate in customary activities in one's society. The document also discusses absolute versus relative poverty, objective versus subjective perspectives, and different dimensions of poverty including deprivation, vulnerability, exclusion, and underdevelopment.
Poverty ppt (1)
The document discusses poverty in India, defining it as the inability to fulfill basic needs like food, clothing, housing, education and health. It identifies common characteristics of poor people like hunger, debt, and lack of facilities. Poverty is measured relatively compared to others or absolutely based on a poverty line. The poverty line divides the population into poor and non-poor based on calorie intake and monthly per capita expenditure. The government has implemented various programs focused on employment generation, minimum needs, and growth to alleviate poverty, but they often face challenges like lack of resources and improper implementation. Reducing poverty further will require accelerating economic growth, population control, agricultural development, and more employment opportunities.

The document discusses Inuit traditional knowledge and its importance. It notes that Inuit traditional knowledge is a cumulative body of knowledge passed down through generations that describes the relationship between people, spiritual beings, and the environment. It emphasizes that Inuit traditional knowledge must be shared and used to benefit knowledge holders. The document also highlights that incorporating Inuit traditional knowledge and cultural safety is important for developing health programs and services for Inuit communities.Hiv & aids continuum traditional leaders role
TLs, custodians of culture, customs and traditions play significant roles in heritage preservation. TLs uphold and promote sound morals and ethical practices that assist governance to raise social awareness including for HIV and AIDS. Well handled, TLs continue to support moral regeneration programmes including looking for acceptable alternatives to HIV risky practices. Well empowered, TLs can ignite and maintain a spirit of mass mobilization in their subjects to work together to kick HIV out of their villages. Most importantly, TLs can act as agents of social cohesion and change through sharing common good moral values and a common agenda for HIV and AIDS, all within an environment of internal and external synergies.

Poverty and inequality in health
Poverty is defined as a state of lacking sufficient income and resources to afford basic necessities. It impedes human progress and development by limiting access to things like adequate housing, healthcare, sanitation, and nutrition. This can increase morbidity and mortality rates. Poverty is caused by factors like illiteracy, lack of knowledge, poor living conditions, and social issues. It is associated with increased risk of diseases and health issues. Measuring socioeconomic status is important for understanding poverty levels. Poverty reduction efforts aim to increase access to resources and opportunities through programs, policies, and sustainable development goals. However, overcoming poverty faces ongoing challenges.

The Effects Of Aids On Swaziland
Swaziland has the highest HIV/AIDS prevalence rate in the world at 26.1% of adults. As a result, life expectancy has dropped to only 31.88 years and there are over 70,000 orphaned children. The spread of HIV/AIDS in Swaziland is largely driven by polygamy and cultural stigma surrounding HIV status, which prevents many from getting tested or disclosing their status. The government has tried to address the epidemic through prevention programs, testing initiatives, and behavior change campaigns, but Swaziland remains the worst affected country.
Aids
HIV/AIDS has had a devastating impact in many African countries. In Botswana, life expectancy has dropped to just 39 years due to the high HIV prevalence rate of nearly 39%. The loss of many working-age adults threatens Botswana's economy. However, Brazil has had success in combating HIV/AIDS through prevention campaigns, free treatment programs, and producing generic antiretroviral drugs. Brazil is now helping other African countries like Botswana by sharing its expertise and experience.
Silence no more m. pala
Marama Pala Ngātiawa ki Kapiti, Kaiwhakahaere/Executive Director (INA), an HIV positive Māori woman, plans to promote the visibility of Indigenous People’s HIV and AIDS issues; to increase the support from local, regional and international Indigenous people.
“History shows us that HIV is not openly discussed at Indigenous conferences. It’s an issue that gets left off the agenda.” says Marama Pala, “Even though Indigenous Peoples experience high rates of HIV and AIDS, it needs to be made visible at all Indigenous conferences and gatherings. It’s time that all Indigenous peoples became aware that we are a marginalised community vulnerable to HIV”
Indigenous people globally continue to under represented in HIV prevention, research, policy and funding initiatives, and this contributes to ongoing HIV disparities and resource allocation. The stigma within Indigenous communities further marginalises this health issue, making it difficult to discuss.
“I hope am able to stress the importance of HIV, speaking openly about HIV and facing the stigma of HIV with my Indigenous and aboriginal brothers and sisters” urges Marama. “Silence No More...for the sake of my HIV negative children; we need to eliminate stigma and discrimination and make our people safe.”

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that works to improve public health. Some of WHO's key accomplishments include eradicating smallpox, launching programs to combat malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS, and helping to reduce measles deaths by 68% by 2007. WHO aims to continue fighting diseases through initiatives such as developing vaccines and ensuring access to medical treatments.
HIV/AIDS brief
HIV/AIDS is a global issue that disproportionately affects developing countries and vulnerable groups. By 2000, over 34 million people worldwide were living with HIV/AIDS, with 95% residing in developing nations. Responses have included prevention education programs, working to increase access to low-cost treatment, and addressing underlying social and economic factors that increase risk. One such program is the National Highway One Project in Vietnam, which aims to reduce transmission along major transport routes through community outreach and encouraging behavior change.

Honouring Life Network: New Media in Suicide Prevention
The document discusses Honouring Life Network (HLN), a program launched by the National Aboriginal Health Organization (NAHO) to address the crisis of high suicide rates among Aboriginal youth in Canada. HLN aims to provide resources and support networks to promote resilience and prevent suicide using new media and social networking platforms. While new media presents opportunities like peer support and empowerment, there are also challenges to address like credibility, cultural differences, and gaps in information. Overall, HLN and other prevention programs seek to make suicide unacceptable among Aboriginal youth by changing approaches and embracing new technologies.

Indigenising interventions to impact STI and BBV inequality among First Peoples of Australia
In this document, James Ward discusses ongoing high rates of STIs among Aboriginal communities in Australia and potential strategies to address health inequalities. He notes STIs remain difficult to discuss and are particularly impacting remote areas. Recent initiatives discussed include the Young Deadly Free campaign promoting education and testing, national sentinel surveillance of testing coverage through ATLAS, and a national survey of Aboriginal youth knowledge and behaviors called GOANNA. Precision public health approaches using genomic and health services data are also proposed. Ward advocates for empowering Aboriginal leadership and centering community-based approaches to enable strength-based and culturally appropriate STI control.

Abstract
One way to achieve optimal use of development aid funds is to capitalize on the low-cost human resources through the humanitarian spirit found among students and teacher volunteers in developed nations. Effective programs that employ volunteer teacher trainers, student workers, and health care volunteers can bolster professional development of teacher and student work experience in local communities, thereby meeting part of people's basic needs in developing countries. Such low-cost, cooperative efforts can energize the professional and international work expertise of both the local native people and the visiting volunteers
This presentation describes how a volunteer international service program had and is having a positive effect on building a community health service in a rural Cameroon village in West Africa, a project founded and run by the late Phyllis Jansyn. Discussion of how similar programs can be established and maintained. Further, some guidelines for planning volunteer programs, recruiting volunteers, and implementing a volunteer training program are outlined. Finally, ways to assist local government offices, community welfare organizations and local schools to meet their some of the manpower needs through cooperation with foreign education ministries, teacher training institutions, professional education organizations, and in cooperation with individuals in developed countries are proposed.
18 jun20 ILC Global Alliance webinar presentation
With the ILC Global Alliance marking its 30th anniversary this year, members came together to share their perspectives on the impact of COVID-19 on long-term care.
While the coronavirus has indiscriminately hit most countries of the world, its impact has been disproportionately felt by the most vulnerable in society, including those receiving long-term care. In Europe alone, it is estimated that up to half of the total number of coronavirus deaths have occurred in long-term care facilities. In order to ensure that our older population is sufficiently protected while still receiving the care they need, will countries have to urgently rethink and adjust how long-term care is provided?

MERCURY GROUP.BHMS.MATERIA MEDICA.HOMOEOPATHY
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.
