This presentation exposes the problem of orphans in our world. Even though Nigeria serves as the main targetted country, one still finds other regional and global details which are very informative.
Education is Empowerment - Contemporary Social Issues Media Project200253049
Girls in developing countries face barriers to education such as child marriage, motherhood, violence, and poverty. When girls are educated, they gain independence and economic opportunities. Organizations like 1GOAL and Malala Yousafzai advocate for girls' education to empower girls and boost countries' economies. Educating girls has wide-ranging benefits including improved health, delaying marriage and childbearing, and allowing girls to determine their own futures.
70% of the world's poor are women, who receive 30-40% less pay than men and head 80-90% of poor families. Over a billion people live on less than $1 per day, and each day over 30,000 children die from preventable causes like malnutrition and disease. Meeting the needs of those in extreme poverty requires a large-scale effort to match the magnitude of the global problem. Changing ourselves can help address poverty by changing how we think and helping others.
Three key points from the document:
1) Children in Yemen face severe malnutrition and lack access to adequate food, with the average household consuming significantly less grains, meat, and eggs compared to previous monitoring periods. Over 45% of households reported family members going to bed hungry.
2) Child protection is a major concern, with over 38% of children afraid to play outside due to non-political murder cases increasing fear. This number rose sharply in Hodeida where 55% of children now feel afraid.
3) Basic indicators of food security and nutrition for Yemen's children are alarmingly low and deteriorating further, with protein intake for children under 5 almost non-existent in rural areas. The humanitarian crisis
The document discusses the plight and power of girls around the world. It notes that millions of girls face barriers to survival and development simply because they are girls. The document outlines some of the challenges girls face, such as lack of access to education, health care, and discrimination. However, it also discusses the power girls have to uplift themselves and their communities when they reach their full potential. The document proposes plans to help empower girls through initiatives focused on nutrition, water, health, education, microfinance, and maternal/child health. It promotes the International Day of the Girl as an opportunity to advocate for girls' rights globally.
The document discusses efforts to close the immunization gap and fully immunize children worldwide against preventable diseases. It notes that while vaccines have immunized 80% of children globally, 20% remain unprotected. In the 1980s, UNICEF and partners launched a major drive to vaccinate children in developing countries, increasing coverage from 20% to 80%. However, over 6 million children still die each year from preventable causes. The document outlines strategies to achieve vaccine coverage targets and end epidemics by 2030, noting that taking vaccines to remote, marginalized communities is key to closing the immunization gap.
This document discusses the importance of educating girls globally. It notes that many girls in Sub-Saharan Africa and South/West Asia lack access to education due to direct and indirect costs as well as social and health barriers. Educating girls empowers them, reduces risks like sex trafficking, and allows communities to benefit from lower disease rates and population growth. International efforts aim to reduce barriers to girls' schooling and leverage education to advance public health goals.
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is committed to providing development assistance that improves the lives of women, men, and children around the world. USAID has a special interest in the advancement of women worldwide. Women’s health, education, economic opportunity and human rights are at the core of successful, stable societies and economic growth.
One of the fundamental principles of the Department of State/USAID strategic plan is that “all citizens, men and women, are vital to meeting the critical challenges of today and reaching the goals of equality, peace and security.” USAID’s commitment to the full inclusion of women dates back to 1973, when the United States Congress passed the “Percy Amendment” to the Foreign Assistance Act, requiring that particular attention be given to integrating women into national economies to improve the status of women and to assist the overall development effort.
Today, USAID embraces this goal, and seeks to understand the different needs of men and women, to improve the efficiency and overall impact of its programs, and to ensure that both women and men have equitable access to development activities and their benefits. This document profiles USAID efforts to address barriers to full access to opportunity for women and men throughout the developing world. The success stories are a testament to the progress women and men have made. The selected examples illustrate the many efforts made by the USAID field missions, the Office of Women in Development, and other operating units in USAID to fully integrate women into development programs and policies throughout USAID. It is important to note that women’s leadership is not treated as a separate category in this report, but is reflected in all the examples.
Women are becoming political leaders, grassroots leaders, leaders in their professions, leaders in their communities, and heads of households, especially in regions ravaged by HIV/AIDS and conflict, and are growing into leaders in many other ways. As a result, all USAID efforts to support women’s skills, opportunities and rights contribute to “women’s leadership.” WOMEN, MEN AND DEVELOPMENT 1
The document discusses the declining child sex ratio in India from 1991 to 2011, defined as the number of girls per 1000 boys aged 0-6. This decline from 945 to 918 is alarming and indicates discrimination against girls. It is caused by both pre-birth sex selection and post-birth discrimination. The government has launched the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao initiative across 100 districts to ensure the survival, protection, and empowerment of the girl child through a multisectoral approach.

There are approximately 42 million people living with HIV/AIDS globally, with 19 million being women. 70% of women ages 30-34 and men ages 40-44 in some areas have HIV/AIDS. There are currently 14 million AIDS orphans in Africa, and that number is projected to rise to 15 million by 2010. Fighting AIDS in Africa is difficult due to lack of funding for prevention methods like condoms and treatment for those infected.
The document discusses the importance of caring for the girl child starting from pregnancy and throughout childhood. It notes that a girl's body has specific nutritional needs and requires more calcium, iron, and other nutrients during its development. Taking care of a girl child's physical, mental, and emotional health is crucial for her future health and ability to care for others. The Indian government has implemented various policies and programs aimed at improving the status of the girl child, including financial incentives for families with girls, educational scholarships, and national nutrition and health policies. However, female literacy rates in India remain among the lowest in Asia, highlighting the ongoing need to prioritize girls' education.
Fahri Musliu, a correspondent from Belgrade for Kosovo media for over 30 years, discusses the challenges of his job. He faced significant difficulties reporting from 1987-1989 as anti-Albanian sentiment in Serbia increased. He had trouble finding official sources to interview until 2000. Kosovo media are still interested in Belgrade news, but some editors feel certain facts are unimportant. Musliu believes accurate reporting from Belgrade remains important for Kosovo.
Culture of Poverty in the Philippines [REPORT]Shooger
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.
Hussain carries his younger brother in a village near the Somalia border in southeastern Ethiopia. Communities in this region are becoming increasingly food insecure due to failed rains over the last four months. While attention has been on Somali refugees, needs are growing rapidly in Ethiopia as well. Every day, 300 children die from malnutrition, though this crisis can be solved. Ensuring all children achieve adequate living standards through access to education, health care, and protection is key to a sustainable world.
This document discusses global poverty statistics from multiple countries. It notes that in 2010, 15.1% of Americans lived in poverty, which was the highest rate since 1993. It also discusses that over 1 billion people live on less than $1 per day, and 80% of humanity lives on less than $2 per day. Poverty leads to millions of child deaths each year from diseases that could otherwise be prevented. Poverty remains a barrier to education and full human potential for many children worldwide.
This document discusses the issue of female foeticide in India. It defines female foeticide as aborting a female fetus after sex determination testing. It notes that the practice is fueled by social, economic and religious factors like the caste system, denial of property rights to women, and social stigma. Statistics are presented showing declining child sex ratios over time and a more severe problem in rural areas. Several slides call for ending this cruelty against girls and saving the disappearing girl child in order to strengthen the nation.
Poverty is a widespread problem in Africa for several reasons. It is defined as not having enough money to cover basic needs like food, clothing, and education. War, famine, disease, and lack of resources have contributed to rising poverty rates. Over 40% of children in sub-Saharan Africa lack safe drinking water, and poverty is linked to problems like poor health, lack of education, and increased risk of death. While information on the scope and impacts of poverty in Africa was illuminating, the document raises additional questions about its historical causes and geographic distribution across the continent.

1) Poverty reduction begins with investing in children's education as it offers the best path to equitable and sustainable human development.
2) Over 1 billion people live on less than $1 per day, with illiteracy and lack of primary education rates remaining high globally and in poor countries like Nicaragua.
3) Non-profits like Empowerment International are helping put children in school in Nicaragua for just $100 per child per year, helping them attain an education that can break the cycle of poverty.
5 dangers girls face in disasters | Plan InternationalSandra Dudley
Adolescent girls are one of the groups most at risk when disasters strike. Girls whose needs are catered for can go on to be leaders for response and recovery within their communities. Those whose needs are not considered face consequences that may affect them for the rest of their lives. This slideshow shares 5 dangers girls face in disasters.
The document discusses the devastating impacts of poverty in Africa. It describes how poverty means going without food and watching family members die from preventable illnesses or hunger. The document provides statistics on the millions of African children who are orphaned, out of school, engaged in armed conflicts, or suffering from malnutrition, disease, and lack of access to clean water and sanitation. It characterizes poverty as a violent and man-made problem that takes innocent lives.
This press release announces a protest by UNICEF to stop child violence taking place on December 10th in front of the parliament building in Albania. According to UNICEF statistics, half of Albanian children experience physical violence at home and one third experience it at school, while 13.3% of school children experience sexual abuse. Violence against children has increased in recent years. The press release cites alarming global statistics on issues facing street children like drug use, AIDS, arrests, and mistreatment in prisons. It stresses that children must be protected from abuse, have their basic needs met, access to education, and a loving family environment to develop normally. More than 33 million children die from a lack of vitamin A and
Putting Children First: Session 1.2 Jane Mariara - Who and where are the poor...The Impact Initiative
The document summarizes key information about child poverty globally. It finds that while the share of the global child population is declining, the absolute number of children in poverty is increasing, particularly in Africa. Over half of the world's extremely poor children live in Africa, where nearly half of all children experience extreme poverty. While global child poverty is projected to decrease by 2030, it will likely persist in Africa. Measures of child multidimensional deprivation show the highest rates in Africa as well. Identifying and targeting assistance to poor children is challenging due to mismatches between monetary and multidimensional definitions of poverty, as well as potential intra-household inequalities.
The document discusses issues related to protection and development of girl children in India. It provides statistics showing declining sex ratios and highlights various social problems faced by girls such as female infanticide, malnutrition, lack of education and child marriage. It also outlines initiatives by NGOs and the government to promote girls' education and raise awareness about girls' rights through campaigns, sponsorship programs, and celebrating important days. Comprehensive action is needed across various sectors to ensure equitable development and empowerment of girls in India.

Researchers have developed new genome editing techniques that allow for rewriting genetic code with precision and efficiency similar to word processing. They demonstrated this by replacing codon instances in E. coli genomes. The techniques aim to add new functions, prevent cross-contamination of modified organisms, and establish viral resistance. Separately, other researchers have improved techniques for producing blood cells from human stem cells, achieving blood cell markers in 84% of cells using optimized growth conditions mimicking natural development. These techniques could enable new stem cell therapies for cancer, immune disorders, and other conditions.

This document discusses vulnerable groups including orphaned and vulnerable children, people with disabilities, and the elderly who care for orphaned children. It provides statistics on the large numbers of orphans worldwide and children affected by issues like poverty, exploitation, and lack of access to education. Specifically in South Africa, it notes the high percentage of orphans due to HIV/AIDS and challenges they face living in child-headed households or being cared for by grandparents. Addressing the needs of these vulnerable groups is important for achieving the UN's Millennium Development Goals.
The document discusses adolescent pregnancy worldwide. It notes that approximately 14 million adolescent girls give birth each year, while 4.4 million have abortions. Adolescent pregnancy can lead to social exclusion, greater health risks for both mother and child, and increased risk of living in poverty. Successful prevention programs involve collaborative community efforts and educating youth on contraception and safe sex. Education is key to reducing adolescent pregnancy rates globally.

The AMOR Kasese Maternity Hospital in Malawi opened in 2009 to address the high rates of maternal mortality in the country. Since opening, the hospital has seen 2371 births and reduced the HIV transmission rate from mother to child from 25% to 11%. The hospital provides prenatal, delivery, and postnatal care to about 300,000 people in the surrounding area. Additional funding is needed to continue providing medical services and supplies to mothers and children in the region.
Teenage pregnancy has negative consequences for girls' lives and development. Teenage mothers face higher risks of medical complications during pregnancy and childbirth. Their infants also have a 50% higher risk of stillbirth or death in the first year of life compared to infants of mothers aged 20-29. Teenage pregnancy often results in school dropouts which can limit educational and career opportunities, leading to lower productivity and increased risk of poverty. Empowering girls through sexuality education and access to reproductive healthcare can help them delay pregnancy and pursue their full potential.
Aids knowing no boundaries in 3 rd world countriestuikings
The document discusses the global impact of HIV/AIDS, particularly in Africa and other developing regions. It provides statistics on HIV prevalence, transmission methods, symptoms, and impact. Key points include:
- HIV/AIDS has had a devastating impact in sub-Saharan Africa and is a potential disaster in Papua New Guinea. Prevalence rates in Africa soared from 1988 to 2003.
- The virus is primarily spread through sexual contact, mother-to-child transmission, and shared needles. Common symptoms include headaches, night sweats, and diarrhea.
- HIV/AIDS weakens populations and economies by primarily affecting young, working-age adults. It exacerbates issues like poverty, crime and lack of
Educational achievement is a significant indicator of children’s wellbeing and future life opportunities. It can predict growth potential and economic viability of a country. While this is an ideal situation for all children, the case may be different for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) due to the psychosocial challenges they go through on a daily basis. It is even worse for children attending public primary schools in Kenya. This paper aims to advance a debate on the relationship between psychosocial support and educational support provided for OVC through a critical engagement on the challenges experienced and the intervention measures to be taken in Kenyan public primary schools context. The study is based on the critical review of related literature materials. Findings suggest that, although the Kenyan government has put mechanisms in place to support OVC attain basic education, numerous challenges are found to be hindering some OVC from attaining quality education. Based on the findings, the paper recommends that there is need for various interventions to address psychosocial needs of orphans and children attending primary schools.

How Africa turned AIDS around By Michel Sidibé Celebrating 50 Years of Africa...Dr Lendy Spires
Michel Sidibé Executive Director UNAIDS At the May 2013 African Union Summit celebrating the 50 years of African unity, a new commission will be launched to explore HIV and global health in the post-2015 debate. “The UNAIDS and Lancet commission: from AIDS to sustainable health” will be co-chaired by Malawi President Joyce Banda, African Union Commission Chairperson Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Director Peter Piot.
The pace of progress is quickening in Africa. Nowhere have we seen this more clearly than in the AIDS response. Fewer people are dying from AIDS. The number of HIV infections is coming down, with young Africans leading the prevention revolution. There is true hope that in a matter of years, Africa will reach an AIDS-free generation. It has taken a massive shift in how we work together. It has required leaders to show immense courage, passion and action from all sectors. It has taken a united Africa. I am not saying it has been easy— but it has happened. We have a shared vision of zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths.
And today there is an African Union endorsement of a new Roadmap to accelerate progress in HIV, Tuberculosis and Malaria—through shared responsibility and global solidarity. Given the extraordinary history of the AIDS response in Africa—in terms of both galvanizing political support and mobilizing resources and communities—the Roadmap sees AIDS as a pathfinder for tuberculosis, malaria and other diseases affecting the continent that require African-sourced solutions. Leadership, it turns out, was that elusive magic bullet. It is the “disruptive innovation” that has irrevocably changed the course of AIDS and now can do even more. As we look to our future goals, I am confident that African leadership can be UNAIDS | Special report with vision and action we can change the world
This document is a special report from UNAIDS highlighting progress and challenges in the AIDS epidemic in Africa. It features statistics and facts about the status of the AIDS epidemic in different African countries, profiles of individuals living with HIV, and articles on various topics related to the AIDS response in Africa, including innovations, the role of the private sector, using sports to raise awareness, and challenges and successes in preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
The document discusses several issues facing girl children in India, including female infanticide and foeticide, child marriage, inadequate nutrition, disparities in education, trafficking, sexual harassment, and lack of safety. It notes that the practice of eliminating female fetuses has led to millions of missing girls. Child marriage violates girls' rights and can lead to health risks. Girls often receive inferior nutrition compared to boys. Fewer girls receive education due to factors like early marriage and household responsibilities. Trafficking disproportionately affects girls for exploitation and crimes against women are very common in India. The government has implemented various policies and programs to promote girls' welfare and development.
There are approximately 900 million adolescent girls and young women in the world who face significant challenges. Many have low primary school completion rates, high rates of child marriage, health risks from early pregnancy, and high risk of contracting HIV/AIDS. They also face threats of violence, trafficking, and harmful practices. However, investing in girls through education and health interventions has significant social and economic benefits, including increased incomes, lower infant mortality, slower population growth, and greater gender equality. The UN has adopted various frameworks and initiatives to promote and protect the rights of girls and empower the most vulnerable.
The document discusses HIV and AIDS, providing information on:
1. What HIV and AIDS are and how they are transmitted between people.
2. The global and local impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, including statistics on infection rates and numbers of deaths.
3. The effects of HIV/AIDS on communities, including impacts on healthcare systems, education, orphaned children and food security.
4. Strategies for preventing the spread of HIV, caring for infected individuals, and supporting children and families affected by the disease.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
