Providers who have typically heard, “If you build it they will come,” and have seen this hold true in several instances often find this is not readily the case with African immigrant survivors of domestic violence. There is not much improvement in the response to assessing services by providing “language translation” only. The practices, perception and priorities of the African immigrant survivor are crucial factors in seeking and receiving services. This workshop will provide information on how beyond language translation, cultural and societal issues can manifest as barriers and obstacles to African immigrant survivors assessing services.

In this PPT the history, organizational foundation, principles and findings of The Aarhus Model are presented, along with case studies to illustrate risk factors, challenges and practical methods of intervention and prevention.
The focus is on the network, close cross-sectorial cooperation between different state institutions and agencies. There is very narrow border when youth worker and when police has already to intervene, and this is also influenced by general opinion and media.
|Also, some elaboration on Participation as a way to counter radicalization. #ParticipationMatters #ActiveCitizens

Engaging our youth in Islamic ActivitiesAl-Mahmud Ali
Key Questions to Consider:
Understanding our youth.
Why are they needed?
How can they contribute?
Why should they contribute?
Is there enough coordination between those already working for Islam in various ways?
Man cannot live in isolation. He lives in groups. So he is called as a ‘social animal’. In social science various activities related to human society are studied. Therefore, sociology is the science of society. Social control is the control of society over individual. Social control includes those laws by which an individual behaves in concurrence with the mores of the group. It is by the
social control that every particular group and individual member outcomes tensions and conflicts. Social control is the pattern of influence the society exerts on individuals and groups to maintain order and establish rules in the society. Social control helps in the maintenance of desired social values i.e.conformity, which makes modification of the existing behaviour difficult and slow. Social control may vary in degree.

Tackling child sexual exploitation, pop up uni, 2pm, 2 september 2015NHS England
Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.
More information is available online: www.expo.nhs.uk
Andrew Norfolk, investigative journalist with Times - London, did a series of article since 2010 regarding the Child Sexual Exploitation in the Borough of Rotherham near Sheffield in North England. His dogged discovery led to tasking of Professor Alexis Jay to investigate the pervasive abuse of children in the borough. She came out with her report last week. It says on a conservative basis scandalously high 1400 girls were groomed, abused, raped, threatened over a period of 16 years from 1997 to 2014. Actual scale could be much higher. What was more scandalous was the silence of the civic and police authorities about the scale of abuse because of misplaced notion of being politically correct and of being non-racist. There failure left children vulnerable to predations of mostly Pakistani Muslim gangs for over a decade.

C6 Prevention of sexual exploitation of children starts with knowledge on vul...VSE 2016
(Sjoerd van Bemmel, Bureau of the Rapporteur on Trafficking in Human Beings and Sexual Violence against Children)
In a recent report, The Dutch Rapporteur on Trafficking in Human Beings and Sexual Violence against Children examined seven groups of children to see how vulnerable they may be to sexual exploitation. In this workship, three groups, namely children from the Roma community, Syrian childbrides and children from the LGBT community will be discussed. Children who are not normally associated with sexual exploitation, but who have an increased risk of becoming victim. Frank Noteboom, researcher from the Dutch National Rapporteur, will approach these groups from a human trafficking perspective. From this angle, new insights appear in how to protect these groups from possible sexual exploitation. To conclude with words of Wayne Dyer: 'If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change'.
Child Sexual Exploitation of Children, CSEC Advocacy ProjectAlexandra Rupp
We define sexual exploitation as rape, abuse, and violence against children, in which 1.6 million youth did NOT “choose “ to be a victim. Alameda County has the 2nd largest population of Commercially Sexually Exploited Children and youth where every two minutes a child is being groomed for sexual exploitation (PCWTA). These numbers represent the amount of CSEC victims we serve, typically without knowing. The traumatic and adverse experiences commonly occurring in our communities, put our children at higher risk for being coerced, manipulated, and forced into sexual exploitation and human trafficking. A trafficker knows what to look for—and so should we. To protect our children, we must increase our awareness and understanding of CSEC in order to effectively prevent, respond, and restore. CSEC is on the rise and while it’s happening all around us, most of us don’t see it. Help us make child sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation visible, so we can end it. Because every child is too valuable to be bought and sold!

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Critical Reflections on Religion and Child Sexual Exploitation
1. Critical Reflections on
Religion and Child Sexual
Exploitation
Dr Sukhwant Dhaliwal
Not to be reproduced without permission from the author
2. • Religious groups as part of community awareness raising.
• ‘Asian/Muslim’ perpetrators and ‘Asian/Muslim’ victims.
• Emergence of a range of ‘religious’ or ‘faith-based’ responses to CSE.
• The slide from Multiculturalism to Multifaithism – religion as the primary
signifier of difference.
• Transfer the learning - historical debates about religious leaders as
gatekeepers / the policing of sex and sexuality.
Background
3. • Two roundtable events - November 2014 / February 2015
• Same twenty participants at both sessions
• Participants – from the voluntary sector providing services
for children, young people and women
• A safe space to:
• Share experiences and thoughts re: possibilities or
limitations of engaging religious organisations
• Problem solve
• Develop framework for good practice
Aim and Method
4. • Extending social responsibility for tackling CSE
• They are part of the landscape of local areas
• They have authority?
• Access to potential perpetrators
• Challenge the abusive practices being sanctioned within those
communities
Why did they engage?
5. • Strong objection to the slide from multiculturalism to multifaithism
– to the privileging of religious identity and the strengthening of
religious leaders
• Religious leaders as power brokers – not passive, not
representative
• Religion does more harm than good – it’s simply not useful to
engage religion on issues to do with sex/sexuality
• ‘Triaging’ – what is the best way to utilise limited resources?
Why did they steer clear?
6. • Role of community and religious ‘leaders’ in tracing women
• Religious and cultural arguments used as justifications for
abuse
• Religious group responses as ‘tokenistic’
• Growth of academies, especially those of a religious ethos,
restrict or reduce spaces for preventative work
Alignment of concerns
7. • Religion or culture should not override children’s rights
• Children’s rights and human rights need to be at the forefront of
responses
• Women’s groups and children’s charities need to be at the
forefront of partnerships and responses
• Religious groups have diverse ‘interests’
• An ethical evaluation required that distinguishes between a
range of religious interventions
Looking Forward
8. Analysing the values base ?
Child centred
Victim centred
Pre-occupied with honour/shame of the ‘community’
or family
Empowering
Safeguarding
Focus on punitive actions
Accountability Impunity – excusing the behaviour of perpetrators
Participatory Being saved by guardians of the faith or community
Rights based frameworks:
Children have rights
Women have rights
Human rights framework
Every Child Matters framework
Traditional action – gains legitimacy from traditional
authority, reliant on the reproduction of memories,
tradition and ritual.
Framework of ‘displaced agency’
Egalitarian – based on principles of equality Discriminatory – in practice and/or ideological frame
that is premised on inequality
Authoritarian / absolutist worldview
Non-judgemental Moralistic / judgemental
