Våldtäkt och sexuellt våld är mycket vanligt i Nicaragua och majoriteten av brottsoffren är flickor och unga kvinnor. I över två tredjedelar av alla våldtäkter som anmäldes mellan 1998 och 2008 var offret en flicka under 17 år och i närmare hälften av alla anmälda våldtäkter var brottsoffet under 15 år.

Introduction
Violence against women (VAW) has become a central issue in the discourse of the international women’s movement in the 21st century. Women’s networks in the South Asia have taken up wide range of issues concerning violence against women (VAW) in their personal lives as well as against the systems perpetuating it. “Personal is political”, a slogan popularised by two decades of women’s movement in the last century signifies consistent campaigns against all forms of violence in women’s intimate/personal and public/societal lives. Social construction of masculinity in the region is defined by cultural nationalism, jingoism and militarisation of the economy as well as ethnic/caste/religious chauvinism in the context of worsening economic crisis due to liberalisation, privatisation, globalisation(LPG). Escalating fundamentalist backlash in the South Asian countries takes the most barbaric form in terms of wide range of violence against women at different stages of their lives, from womb to tomb. Moreover, as a result of modernisation and commercialisation of subsistence economies, family-ties have become less supportive. Increasing intra-state, inter-state and cross country migration as well as trafficking of women and girls has a sole purpose of SEXPLOITATION-ferocious and complete control over their sexuality, fertility and labour. Cut throat competition among the nation states have increased work-burden drastically due to shift from just-in-case approach to just-in-time approach to meet the targets of production at the cheapest possible cost.
During the eighties, women’s rights organisations mushroomed in the South Asia in response to varied manifestations of VAWG by the state apparatus and in the civil society in the form of anti-women family laws and customary laws, communal carnage, sexual harassment at workplace and assaults on individual women in the family and in the society. They organised rallies and demonstrations, sit-ins and conventions, seminars and conferences, which culminated into politics of protest movements and petitioning. In the 1990s, the women’s groups consolidated their base by finding their allies in the state apparatus and created their institutional base and shelter homes of women and children victims of violence. Now, it is accepted by all progressive forces that “Women’s rights are human rights”.
The Lancet Series on Violence Against Women and GirlsTheLancetWeb
Every day, millions of women and girls worldwide experience violence. This abuse takes many forms, including intimate physical and sexual partner violence, female genital mutilation, child and forced marriage, sex trafficking, and rape. The Lancet Series on Violence against women and girls shows that such abuse is preventable. Five papers cover the evidence base for interventions, discuss the vital role of the health sector in care and prevention, show the need for men and women to be involved in effective programmes, provide practical lessons from experience in countries, and present a call for action with five key recommendations and indicators to track progress.

Today, we are confronted with a global refugee crisis of unprecedented levels,
a crisis that, as shown in this report, deeply affects the Western Hemisphere.
No one knows this better than those fleeing epidemic levels of violence,
including gender-based violence, in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.1
Research conducted over four months found that women face a startling degree
of violence that has a devastating impact on their daily lives. With no protection
at home, women flee to protect themselves and their children from murder,
extortion, and rape. They present a clear need for international protection.
Based on US Department of Homeland Security data covering FY 2015, of
the thousands of women and girls from these countries who expressed a fear
of being returned to their home country and were subject to the credible fear
screening process, US authorities have found that a large percentage have a
significant possibility of establishing eligibility for asylum or protection under the
Convention against Torture.2
A surging tide of violence sweeping across El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras
forces thousands of women, men, and children to leave their homes every month.
This region of Central America, known as the Northern Triangle (“Northern Triangle
of Central America” or “NTCA”), is one of the most dangerous places on earth.3
An action plan to raise awareness and encourage the reevaluation of our cultural trend towards violence. We have focused on women for certain portions of the project because they bear the brunt of societal anger and confusion to an incredible degree. This epidemic of hatred and violence towards women reaches across all spheres of culture but our project highlights only a few.

According to one United Nations estimate, 113 to 200 million women are “demographically missing” from the world today. That is to say, there should be 113 to 200 million more women walking the earth, who aren’t. By that same estimate, 1.5 to 3 million women and girls lose their lives every year because of gender-based neglect or gender-based violence and Sexual Violence in Conflict.
We can point a finger at poverty. But poverty alone does not result in these girls and women’s deaths and suffering; the blame also falls on the social system and attitudes of the societies.
India alone accounts for more than 50 million of the women who are “missing” due to female foeticide - the sex-selective abortion of girls, dowry death, gender-based neglect and all forms of violence against women.
The decline in the sex ratio and the millions of Missing Women are indicators of the feudal patriarchal resurgence. Violence against women has gone public – whether it is dowry murders, the practice of female genital mutilation, honour killings, sex selective abortions or death sentences awarded to young lovers from different communities by caste councils, rapes and killings in communal and caste violence, it is only women’s and human rights groups who are protesting – the public and institutional response to these trends is very minimal. Most of the values are insufficiently imagined and fundamentally flawed.
More than two-thirds of the women’s populations don’t have access to the financial system. Poor women are not considered credit worthy. Every human being should have the “right to credit” because if people have money, they can change their lives. It is true for women. Nearly half the world’s population live in poverty, 70% are women.

Understanding Nigerian Youths' Perception of Sexual ConsentYouthHubAfrica
Since the beginning of the lockdown since April 2020, there has been an increase in reported cases of sexual abuse in Nigeria. Although past data shows that sexual abuse in the country has always been high—the 2019 NOI Polls stated that one in three girls would have experienced sexual assault before they are twenty-five years old
Årlig återkoppling till medlemmar och givare. I Återblick berättar vi om hur ditt ekonomiska stöd används i arbetet för mänskliga rättigheter. Vilka frågor har vi lyft under året? Vilka kampanjer har vi arbetat med? Vilka resultat har vi nått? Hur går det för Amnesty som medlemsorganisation?
Människohandel eller trafficking är en av de mest utbredda och grövsta formerna av våld mot kvinnor enligt Amnesty International. Trafficking är inte enbart ett brott mot mänskliga rättigheter generellt, utan inbegriper kränkningar såsom tortyr, misshandel, frihetsberövande, kränkningar av rätten till hälsa och rätten till rättvis behandling, upprättelse och ersättning.

Varje år mördas tusentals flickor och kvinnor i hederns namn. Enligt FN:s särskilda rapportör om utomrättsliga, summariska och godtyckliga avrättningar handlar det om upp till 5000 kvinnor årligen, som mördas av sina närstående för att återupprätta familjens heder.
Det senaste decenniet har ändå trenden tydligt pekat i positiv riktning. Antalet avrättningar har stadigt minskat och ytterligare 31 länder har avskaffat dödsstraffet i sin lagstiftning eller i praktiken. Under 2010 har Amnesty kunnat bekräfta 527 avrättningar jämfört med 714 under 2009.
Många länder undanhåller dock fortfarande information om dödsdomar och avrättningar. Därför är detta en lägsta siffra, som Amnesty kan bekräfta, medan det verkliga antalet sannolikt är betydligt högre. Avrättningar och dödsdomar i Kina finns inte heller detta år med i den totala statistiken. Kina avkunnar flest dödsdomar och avrättar fler personer än resten av världen tillsammans men vägrar uppge vare sig hur många som döms till döden eller hur många som avrättas. Enligt obekräftade uppgifter avrättades tusentals personer i Kina under 2010.
Positiv riktning de senaste tio åren

Enligt obekräftade uppgifter avrättades tusentals personer i Kina under 2010.
- Även om antalet avrättningar minskar, fortsätter ett antal länder att döma människor till döden och avrätta för icke våldsbrott som; narkotikabrott, ekonomiska brott, sexuella relationer mellan samtyckande partners och blasfemi, vilket strider mot internationell rätt som förbjuder användning av dödsstraff annat än för de allra grövsta brotten, säger Salil Shetty, generalsekreterare för Amnesty International.
Fem länder står för de flesta avrättningarna
Liksom tidigare år är det ett mindre antal länder som står för de flesta avrättningarna:
Kina tusentals, Iran minst 252, Nordkorea minst 60, Jemen minst 53 och USA 46.
Siffran över antalet avrättningar som myndigheterna har bekräftat i Iran är lägre för 2010 jämfört med 2009 (388), men det finns obekräftade uppgifter om att ytterligare minst 300 personer kan ha avrättats.
En positiv utveckling har skett i Mongoliet, där presidenten har utlyst ett moratorium mot avrättningar, ett viktigt första steg mot ett avskaffande av dödsstraffet. För tredje gången kunde FN:s generalförsamling , den 21 december 2010, rösta igenom en resolution som uppmanar stater med dödsstraff att införa ett moratorium mot avrättningar, denna gång fick resolutionen större stöd än tidigare år. Antalet dödsdomar och avrättningar i Mellanöstern och Nordafrika minskade under 2010 jämfört med 2009. Under 2010 blev Gabon det 16:e medlemslandet i den Afrikanska unionen som avskaffade dödsstraffet helt.
Tjugo länder benådade dödsdömda fångar eller omvandlade dödsdomar, bland annat fick de tre sista dödsdömda i Kuba sina straff omvandlade i december 2010.
Enligt de uppgifter Amnesty har tillgång till fanns det vid årets slut minst 17 833 dödsdömda runt om i världen.
Några bakslag noterades under 2010. Sex länder och territorier, Bahrain, Ekvatorialguinea, Somalia, Taiwan, Vitryssland och Palestinska Myndigheten återupptog avrättningar efter ett eller flera års uppehåll.
Länder som avskaffat respektive har kvar dödsstraff i mars 2011:
96 länder avskaffat dödsstraffet för alla brott
9 länder avskaffat dödsstraffet i fredstid
34 länder avskaffat dödsstraffet i praktiken
Sammanlagt är det 139 länder som har avskaffat dödsstraffet i sin lagstiftning eller i praktiken.
58 länder har kvar dödsstraffet i sin lagstiftning och har verkställt dödsdomar under senare år.
Sedan 2003 har dock endast hälften av dessa 58 länder genomfört avrättningar och mindre än en tredjedel har avrättat varje år de senaste fyra åren.
Trots enorma naturtillgångar är Demokratiska republiken Kongo ett av Afrikas fattigaste länder. Decennier av kolonialism, diktatorn Mobutos korrupta styre och efterföljande inbördeskrig har satt djupa spår.
Flera fredsavtal har slutits men ändå blossar stridigheter upp, främst i östra Kongo. Regeringsarmén och olika rebellgrupper drabbar samman, inte minst över kontrollen och utvinning av naturtillgångarna. Det har resulterat i massiva krigsförbrytelser och brott mot mänskligheten. Övergreppen och massvåldtäkterna mot civilbefolkningen fortsätter.
FN:s fredsbevarande styrka har funnits på plats sedan 1999, då det första fredsavtalet undertecknades. Fredsoperationen är den största i FN:s historia, men trots detta lyckas man inte alltid skydda civilbefolkningen.
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

An astonishing, first-of-its-kind, report by the NYT assessing damage in Ukraine. Even if the war ends tomorrow, in many places there will be nothing to go back to.
1. Rape and sexual abuse are widespread in Nicaragua, and the majority of
victims are young. More than two thirds of all rapes reported between 1998
and 2008 were committed against girls under the age of 17.
Young survivors of sexual violence face daunting obstacles in speaking out
about the crimes committed against them. Information on where to get help
is difficult to find and many young rape survivors are rejected by their families
and communities. The stigma associated with sexual crimes in Nicaragua
means that it is often the survivor – not the abuser – who is blamed.
For those girls who report the crime to the police, the fight to get justice and
to rebuild their hopes and dreams is not an easy one. The justice system often
fails them at every step, from reporting to investigation to court hearing.
The vitally important task of providing young rape survivors with the
psychological and other support they need is carried out by NGOs. Their
support can make the difference between despair and hope for survivors.
Despite this, the Nicaraguan government gives no financial support to
NGOs providing these crucial services.
Rape, particularly the rape of young girls, often only comes to light when it
results in pregnancy. Since 2008, abortion has been a criminal offence in
Nicaragua. All abortion in all circumstances is banned, no matter how young
the rape victim or how serious the risks posed by the pregnancy to her life
or health. Girls who give birth as a result of rape have little or no state support
to put their lives back on track.
This exhibition tells the stories of some of the young rape survivors, their
mothers and support workers, who shared their stories with Amnesty
International. First and foremost, they wanted to break the silence surrounding
the crimes committed against them.
Their courage and strength are inspirational. Listen to their voices, and act
on their words.
