This document discusses the rights of indigenous peoples with disabilities. It notes that indigenous peoples are often disproportionately likely to experience disabilities due to factors like poverty, environmental degradation, and violence. Indigenous peoples with disabilities frequently face multiple forms of discrimination based on both their indigenous identity and disability status. Both the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities aim to protect these groups, but more work is needed. The World Conference on Indigenous Peoples in 2014 provides an opportunity for governments and indigenous peoples to commit to including the voices and concerns of indigenous peoples with disabilities.

PhD trial lecture by Zufan Abera Damtew
This document appears to be a program for the Alan Johns Memorial Lecture. It includes an agenda and schedule for the multiple day event, with sessions covering various topics in eye health from Monday to Thursday. Logistical information is provided such as venue details, a social program, and exhibition times. The cover image features the national bird of India.
The presentation identifies vulnerable populations in rural areas and their health disparities. Rural areas are defined as having low population density and distance from urban centers with few economic activities. Approximately 19% of Americans live in rural areas and are more likely to be uninsured compared to urban residents. Rural residents experience higher rates of chronic diseases, injuries, cancer deaths and less access to preventive healthcare services. The presentation proposes a plan to address mammography compliance among uninsured rural women using a mobile mammography unit on a quarterly basis. Key elements of the plan include qualifying patients, an interdisciplinary team and addressing challenges of cost, participation and evaluating effectiveness.

The document summarizes key points from the World Report on Disability. It finds that around 1 billion people worldwide have disabilities, with numbers increasing due to aging populations and chronic diseases. Many people with disabilities face disabling barriers like lack of accessibility and negative attitudes that restrict their participation. The report recommends addressing these barriers by investing in rehabilitation services, education, employment support, and enacting inclusive policies and legislation to improve the lives of persons with disabilities.
This document discusses challenges in ensuring access to healthcare for non-nationals, or people living in a country without citizenship, in the post-2015 development agenda. It notes that the number of international migrants has reached 214 million and is projected to increase significantly by 2050. While countries are obligated under international law to provide healthcare access to all within their borders regardless of citizenship status, many exclude non-nationals from health protections and services in practice. The document argues that truly transformative global development goals must expressly include healthcare access for non-nationals.
This document discusses durable solutions for internally displaced persons (IDPs), including their right to return and strategies for reconstruction and rehabilitation. It identifies key principles like community participation, evidence-based approaches, and avoiding harm. Tools like displacement tracking matrices and geographic information systems can help monitor IDPs and plan responses. The case of Aceh, Indonesia demonstrates how decentralizing recovery efforts and cash transfers can aid durable solutions. Environmental impact assessments also support sustainable humanitarian responses. Aerial photos document the destruction of Baga, Nigeria from insurgent attacks. Durable solutions require coordinated efforts between humanitarian organizations using rights-based frameworks.
This document discusses internally displaced persons (IDPs) in conflict areas. It defines IDPs as persons forced to flee their homes due to armed conflict, violence, or disasters, but who remain within their country's borders, unlike refugees who cross international borders. The document outlines challenges facing IDPs such as property loss, family separation, insecurity, and lack of access to services. It also examines challenges for organizations assisting IDPs, such as government cooperation, access to information, resettlement, and security. Case studies of IDP situations in Pakistan and Colombia illustrate these challenges and responses from organizations such as the UN.
Community Activities means activity in the community, undertaken by your trustees, directors, employees or volunteers. Activity of community is the Community work involved in local or neighborhood groups or associations, volunteer or unpaid worker involved in a non-profit, not-for-profit, just work for humanity. Activity of community is including the alert, response, emergency, and recovery for an individual, groups, society as well as community.
This document discusses the importance of applying an equity lens to social protection programs and policies. Social protection aims to prevent and reduce poverty and social exclusion. An equity lens is important because vulnerable groups like women, people with disabilities, and other marginalized populations experience higher poverty rates and face structural barriers to accessing resources. While 27.8% of people with severe disabilities are covered by social protection globally, coverage must expand to address inequities and the underlying drivers of inequality in order to achieve social justice and equitable outcomes through the transformative role that social protection can play.

The document provides a brief history of the Developmental Disabilities Act (DD Act) from 1955 to 2000. It summarizes that the DD Act was first passed in 1963 under President Kennedy to address issues like lack of personnel, research, and coordination in supporting those with disabilities. It established University Affiliated Facilities (now called UCEDDs) and later Developmental Disabilities Councils and Protection & Advocacy systems. The 2000 reauthorization emphasized community living and individual supports. It changed the name of programs and increased collaboration. The DD Act aims to promote self-determination and community inclusion for those with disabilities.

This Kit focuses on development and indigenous peoples, with emphasis on their full and effective participation in all development processes and the need for a genuine partnership in and ownership with them of these processes. More specifically, it is designed to provide UNCTs (United Nations Country Teams) with guidance as to how to engage indigenous peoples and include their perspectives in development processes, including monitoring and reporting processes related to the CCA/UNDAF, Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSP), UNDP’s Human Development Reports and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Background The Resource Kit should be seen as one of many contributions to the wide-ranging reform programme initiated in 1997 by Secretary-General Kofi Annan and aimed at making the United Nations a more effective institution in terms of facing the challenges of the twenty-first century. This reform programme, which included the UN system’s development agenda in general and the MDG and PRSP processes in particular, stressed the need to strengthen the inter-linkages between peace and security, poverty reduction and sustainable human development and promotion of and respect for human rights. In response to the Secretary- General’s call to articulate a coherent vision and strategy for united approaches towards internationally agreed development goals and the Millennium Development Goals at the national level, the United Nations Development Group (UNDG) was formed in 1997 and the CCA (Country Common Assessment) and UNDAF (United Nations Development Assistance Framework) framework was adopted as a strategy planning tool for the UN system.
Together, these initiatives were designed to enhance the United Nations’ collective analysis and programming in sup-port of national goals and priorities in various development processes. At the same time, a growing awareness and recognition among Governments, the UN system and other development actors of the importance of engaging indigenous peoples in a human rights–based approach to development led to a resolution by the Economic and Social Council in 2000 to establish the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII).4
The mandate of the UNPFII includes, inter alia, “discuss[ing] indigenous issues within the ECOSOC’s mandate, including economic and social development, culture, environment, education, health and human rights; [and providing] expert advice and recommendations to the Council and to programmes, funds and agencies of the UN”. In 2002, an inter-agency mechanism the IASG (Inter-Agency Support Group)5 was established to support and promote the mandate of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues within the United Nations system. 4 ECOSOC resolution 2000/22 on the establishment of a Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. 5 The IASG is composed of 32 UN entities and other institutions including the Inter- American Development Bank, the European Commission, the
This document introduces a resource kit on indigenous peoples' issues that is designed to provide guidance to UN country teams on how to engage indigenous peoples in development processes. It provides background on UN reforms and initiatives that have stressed the importance of a human rights-based approach to development and indigenous peoples' participation. The UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues and Inter-Agency Support Group have taken steps to promote inclusion of indigenous perspectives in processes like the MDGs and PRSPs. The resource kit aims to help operationalize these initiatives by advising UN country teams on ensuring indigenous peoples' participation, representation, and inclusion in country-level development planning and monitoring.
#WCIP IASG - thematic paper reproductive health rev1Dr Lendy Spires
This document discusses the sexual and reproductive health and rights of indigenous peoples. It notes that indigenous peoples face numerous obstacles to realizing these rights, including discrimination, lack of access to healthcare, and lack of recognition of their collective rights. The document advocates for intercultural approaches to healthcare that respect indigenous traditions and knowledge, as well as programs that target issues like maternal health, HIV prevention, and the needs of indigenous adolescents. It argues that recognizing indigenous peoples' rights and participating them in healthcare policy and services is key to improving outcomes.
The right to reproductive health_2012_Dushanbe_Tajikistan (1)Subhiya Mastonshoeva
This document provides a summary of the situation regarding reproductive health and rights in Tajikistan. It notes that while maternal and infant mortality rates have declined in recent years, the numbers remain high. Some of the key issues identified are inadequate quality of reproductive health services; lack of referral systems, transportation, and education; and low awareness among women. The document also cites weak preventative measures, family planning programs in rural areas, shortage of medical personnel, and deteriorating infrastructure as contributing factors. A UNICEF study found that poor prenatal care was responsible for 43.5% of neonatal deaths in some regions of Tajikistan.
This document provides a systemic review of laws and policies in Canada and Ontario that affect the rights of Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis people with disabilities. It examines four categories of rights: access to physical environments, transportation, and information/communications; education; health; and cultural life. The review finds gaps and deficiencies in protecting these rights based on principles of dignity, autonomy, participation, inclusion, non-discrimination, and respect for difference. The report aims to identify critical issues and expand discussions on disability rights monitoring for Indigenous peoples with disabilities.
The document summarizes a publication about the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) aimed at indigenous adolescents aged 13-18. It acknowledges the contributions of indigenous peoples to global diversity and their knowledge in areas like traditional medicine and environmental protection. It explains that UNDRIP establishes minimum standards for the survival, dignity and well-being of indigenous peoples and addresses their civil, political, social, economic and cultural rights. The publication was created in collaboration with indigenous youth to help them learn about and ensure implementation of the Declaration.
Webinar advancing global disability dataSDHIResearch
The document summarizes recommendations from a United Nations report on advancing global disability data and disability-inclusive development. It recommends that all UN member states adopt standardized methodologies, such as the Washington Group's 6-question core set, to collect comparable disability data globally in both censuses and surveys. This will help monitor progress on inclusive development goals. Member states should collaborate across agencies using common frameworks like the ICF model to improve data quality and accessibility over time.

Matej Gaspar of Yugoslavia was designated the world's 5 billionth person in July 1989, though this was arbitrary as no one knows the exact date population reached 5 billion. The UN chose Zagreb as the location as the UN Secretary-General was visiting there. World Population Day was established on July 11th to raise awareness of population issues. The 2018 theme was "Family Planning is a Human Right" marking the 50th anniversary of its recognition as a basic human right. Family planning allows people to freely determine the number and spacing of children and is a key factor in empowering women.

Globally inclusive approaches to measurement_Shigehiro Oishi.pdfStatsCommunications
This document discusses measurement issues in comparing well-being and culture across countries. It covers 5 main issues: 1) Response styles may not fully explain differences in life satisfaction scores between countries. 2) Well-being items do not always function the same way across cultures, though lack of measurement equivalence only partly explains score differences. 3) Self-presentation and 4) judgmental/memory biases may also contribute to differences to a small-moderate degree. 5) The meaning and desirability of happiness differs across cultures, which can further impact scores. The document also advocates developing indigenous well-being measures that are meaningful within each local context.
Globally inclusive approaches to measurement_Erhabor Idemudia.pdfStatsCommunications
This document discusses considerations for developing quality of life measures from an African perspective. It notes that many existing QoL instruments were developed for Western populations and do not account for cultural differences. In Africa, concepts like happiness are more closely tied to collective well-being and social harmony rather than individualism. The document also outlines some key African beliefs, like Ubuntu, which emphasizes interconnectedness. It argues that QoL measures for Africa must assess both objective and subjective domains, and be grounded in cultural values like family, community, and spirituality rather than only Western individualistic norms. Developing culturally appropriate QoL measures is important for capturing well-being in a meaningful way.

Stats NZ has taken several steps to incorporate Māori perspectives when measuring quality of life and well-being in New Zealand. This includes developing the Te Kupenga Māori social survey, incorporating some concepts from Te Kupenga into the General Social Survey, working with partners on using administrative data for Māori, and trialling iwi-led data collections for the Census. Te Kupenga uses frameworks like Whare Tapu Whā and focuses on cultural well-being areas like spirituality, customs, te reo Māori, and social connectedness. It provides statistics on these areas as well as demographics, paid work, health, and other topics from a Māori

The document discusses Italy's inclusion of domain satisfaction indicators in its framework for measuring well-being (BES). It provides background on Italy's system of social surveys and outlines the development of the BES project, which aims to measure equitable and sustainable well-being. The BES framework includes 12 domains of well-being and over 150 indicators, including subjective well-being indicators and indicators measuring satisfaction within other domains like health, work, relationships, safety, environment and more. The document presents examples of domain satisfaction indicators and trends over time in areas like friends relations and landscape satisfaction.
A better understanding of domain satisfaction: Validity and policy use_Anthon...StatsCommunications
Domain satisfaction measures provide valid and useful information about people's lives beyond overall life satisfaction. Research has found that domain satisfaction captures different aspects of well-being than objective indicators alone, and that different life domains contribute differently to individual happiness. While domain satisfaction may be socially constructed and culturally variable, current policy efforts can still benefit from considering subjective experiences of satisfaction across life domains. Future research opportunities include exploring the multidimensional relationships between domain satisfaction and broader concepts of well-being.
A better understanding of domain satisfaction: Validity and policy use_Marian...StatsCommunications
Domains of life are important for understanding life satisfaction and informing better policymaking. The document discusses four key points:
1) It is important to consider multiple domains of life, not just economic factors, to understand people's overall well-being.
2) Domains of life represent different areas that people spend their time and where they make decisions, such as family, health, work, community.
3) Considering domains of life can provide insight into life satisfaction and help create more effective policies in areas like health, education, and social programs.
4) Current government institutions and policies can be better aligned to impact the domains of life that influence overall life satisfaction.

This document summarizes Sabrina Twilhaar's presentation on new frontiers in subjective well-being measurement for children. It discusses Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory and how children's well-being is influenced by multiple levels including micro (family, peers), meso (school), exo (neighborhood), and macro (culture, economy) systems. It then reviews literature on conceptualizing and measuring hedonic and eudaimonic well-being in children, noting gaps like a focus on life satisfaction over affect. Research finds children's well-being varies by age and sex, and is associated with family relationships and bullying. Overall, more work is needed to develop valid cross-cultural measures of multiple

This document summarizes recent research on measuring subjective well-being, with a focus on measuring how worthwhile people feel the things they do in life are. Some key findings include:
- In the UK, on average people rate their sense that the things they do are worthwhile at 7.86 out of 10, while 3.8% rate it between 0-4 out of 10.
- People in their late 60s and early 70s report the highest sense of worthwhile, while people over 85 and those aged 18-24 report the lowest.
- Factors associated with a higher sense of worthwhile include being older than 45/55, female, white, belonging to a religion, home ownership, higher income

Abstract: In this session, I will discuss the unstructured data and the world of vector databases, we will see how they different from traditional databases. In which cases you need one and in which you probably don’t. I will also go over Similarity Search, where do you get vectors from and an example of a Vector Database Architecture. Wrapping up with an overview of Milvus.
Introduction
Unstructured data, vector databases, traditional databases, similarity search
Vectors
Where, What, How, Why Vectors? We’ll cover a Vector Database Architecture
Introducing Milvus
What drives Milvus' Emergence as the most widely adopted vector database

2. Background
• Approx. 302.4 million Indigenous peoples around the world
• International commitment to improve the state of affairs for Indigenous peoples
• Not all Indigenous peoples are identified within official statistics reporting in their
countries
• The data collected for the purposes of official reporting on Indigenous peoples is still
inadequate

4. Identification and the UNDRIP
Article 33 of the 2007 United Nations Declaration on the Rights of
Indigenous people states:
‘Indigenous peoples have the right to determine their own identity or
membership in accordance with their customs and traditions.’
5. Who are Indigenous peoples?
• No definition in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous
peoples
UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues states:
• Self-identification as Indigenous peoples at the individual level and
accepted by the community as a member
• Historical continuity with pre-colonial or pre-settler societies
• Strong link to territories and surrounding natural resources
• Distinct social, economic, or political systems
• Distinct language, culture, and beliefs
• People from non-dominant groups of society
• Resolve to maintain and reproduce their ancestral environments and
systems as distinctive peoples and communities
6. Statistics and Indigenous peoples
Who is counted?
• The operationalization of definitions of Indigenous peoples
• The propensity to identify
How many Indigenous peoples are counted?
• Completeness
• Accuracy
What is counted and measured?
• Existing indicators vs development of indicators
7. Statistics and the UNDRIP
Article 8 of the 2007 United Nations Declaration on the Rights of
Indigenous people aims to:
‘provide effective mechanisms for prevention of, and redress for . . .
Any action which has the aim or effect of depriving them of their
integrity as distinct peoples or ethnic identities, or of their cultural
values’.
Further, Article 15 states:
‘Indigenous peoples have the right to the dignity and diversity of their
cultures, traditions, histories and aspirations which shall be
appropriately reflected in education and public information’
8. Statistics, autonomy and human rights
Article 10 of the outcome document of the plenary meeting of the UN
General Assembly of the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples
(2014) states:
‘We commit ourselves to working with indigenous peoples to
disaggregate data, as appropriate, or conduct surveys and to utilizing
holistic indicators of indigenous peoples’ well-being to address the
situation and needs of indigenous peoples and individuals, in particular
older persons, women, youth, children and persons with disabilities.’
