Violence against women garment workers, gender subordination in IndiaOpenSpace
Violence against women workers in industries like garment manufacturing is rooted in gender inequality and power imbalances. Women face multi-layered risks as they are often migrants, from oppressed backgrounds, and the sole breadwinners for their families. They comprise 90% of factory workers but less than 5% of supervisors or managers. Low wages that are barely above minimum wage, long work hours, strict attendance policies, and lack of job security or benefits compound the exploitation women face. Unions that could advocate for better conditions are discouraged by factories. Comprehensive reforms are needed across government, industry, and civil society to establish fair wages, rights to organize, and mechanisms to prevent and address gender-based violence in the workplace.

A christian reflection on the freedom of expressionOpenSpace
This document discusses Christian perspectives on freedom of expression. It provides several examples where Christians have protested or called for bans of certain artistic works or depictions that they found offensive. The document argues that from a biblical perspective, Christians should embrace freedom of expression and tolerate differing viewpoints. It encourages viewing Christianity as a religion that promotes tolerance and sees Christ in all people, regardless of how they are depicted. The document concludes by advocating for upholding fundamental rights and freedoms for all.
A christian response to the right to educationOpenSpace
The document discusses the historical role of Christianity in promoting education and sharing of knowledge. It notes that Christianity helped democratize knowledge by translating the Bible and other texts into local languages and establishing schools. This opened up education beyond the elite. However, over time Christian schools lost their focus on values and came to mirror mainstream exclusionary practices. The RTE Act is seen as another opportunity to continue Christianity's pioneering role in promoting inclusion and universal access to education.

2. While Mendha faces issues like poverty and disputes common to many villages, it is unique in requiring consensus for all decisions rather than majority-rule. This has empowered villagers and led to positive changes in the village.
3. Through discussion and consensus, Mendha villagers have addressed issues like unsustainable forest use, women's participation, and liquor problems. They have also asserted control over local governance and resisted outside interference without permission.

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.
