El objetivo de esta guía es brindar recomendaciones prácticas al personal de salud que se hace cargo de las actividades de preparación y respuesta a las enfermedades contagiosas para asegurar que se mantenga el acceso a servicios de aborto seguro (SAS) cuando surja un brote de enfermedades contag...iosas. Es una guía operativa que puede servir para apoyar a los actores de la salud para que los SAS se mantengan durante los brotes y asegurar que las consideraciones necesarias de SAS se integren dentro de la respuesta al brote; no es una guía clínica. El enfoque centrado en la ubicación de este documento se dirige a los asentamientos frágiles y de ayuda humanitaria; sin embargo, las recomendaciones pueden aplicarse a brotes de enfermedades contagiosas a cualquier población con escasez de recursos. Esta guía busca complementar el trabajo llamado La salud sexual y reproductiva y los derechos durante los brotes de enfermedades contagiosas: Guía operativa para escenarios frágiles y de ayuda humanitaria.

Die Europäische Kommission gegen Rassismus und Intoleranz (ECRI) wurde vom Europarat ins Leben gerufen. Sie ist ein unabhängiges Gremium, das über die Einhaltung der Menschenrechte wacht, wenn es um die Bekämpfung von Rassismus, Diskriminierung (aufgrund von „Rasse", ethnischer/nationaler Herk...unft, Hautfarbe, Staatsangehörigkeit, Religion, Sprache, sexüller Orientierung und Geschlechtsidentität), Fremdenfeindlichkeit, Antisemitismus und Intoleranz geht. Die Mitglieder der Kommission sind unabhängig und unparteiisch. Sie werden aufgrund ihrer moralischen Autorität und ihres anerkannten Sachverstands in Fragen von Rassismus, Fremdenfeindlichkeit, Antisemitismus und Intoleranz ernannt. Im Rahmen ihres satzungsmässigen Auftragserstellt ECRI für jedes Land Länderberichte, in denen die Situation in Bezug auf Rassismus und Intoleranz in jedem Mitgliedstaat des Europarates analysiert und Vorschläge zur Loesung der aufgezeigten Probleme unterbreitet werden.

Colombia is characterized by a fragile and prolonged humanitarian context marked by recurrent multi-hazards affecting its territories and combined with severe structural and systemic challenges within the health system. Recent shocks, including the
COVID-19 pandemic, growing violence within the Col...ombian territories and along the border with Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of), and repetitive hydro-meteorological disasters over the last 12 months aggravate such chronic challenges.
In 2022, the number of people in need of humanitarian assistance increased by 300 000 due to deteriorating indicators of maternal and child mortality, pregnancy in adolescent girls, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), suicides, sexually transmitted
infections (STIs), gender-based and sexual violence, and communicable diseases. increasing population trends, primarily due to mass migration movements and the persistence of armed conflicts, create access barriers to essential health services, mobility restrictions, and forced displacement, further impacting the health, lives, and well-being of populations in vulnerable situations. In many territories, geographical distance to health facilities and attacks against medical missions hinder providing appropriate healthcare.

COVID-19 has triggered the deepest global recession since the 1930s. Extreme poverty has risen for the first time in 22 years, and unemployment has increased dramatically. Women and young people aged 15 – 29 working in the informal sector are being hit the hardest. School closures have affected 91... per cent of students worldwide.
Political conflicts are more intense and taking a heavy toll on civilians, disproportionately affecting children. Women and girls are at increased risk of conflict-related sexual violence. Attacks against aid and health workers persist. For the ninth consecutive year, more than 90 per cent of casualties from explosive weapons in populated areas were civilians.
The last decade saw the highest-ever number of people internally displaced by conflict and violence, with many locked in a state of protracted displacement. There are an estimated 51 million new and existing IDPs, and the number of refugees has doubled to 20 million.

This handbook is designed to act as a ready reference for Law Enforcement Officials and prosecutors to understand cyber crimes against children. Cyber Crimes are generally defined as those crimes in which a computer resource is either the target or is used as tool for committing the crime. These may... even include cases where traditional crimes are facilitated by digital technologies as will become clear through the course of this handbook.
The handbook focusses on presenting a clear picture of cyber crimes committed against children and when cyber crimes have been perpetrated by them. It also helps Investigating Officers to understand the application of special legislation like the Information Technology Act, Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POSCO) Act and Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection) Act to such instances.

We created a dataset to generate estimates of donor-reported ‘official development assistance’ and private grants (ODA+) to reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health (RMNCH) by donor, recipient country and activity type over the period 2003–2013. We collected disbursement information fr...om the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Creditor Reporting System (CRS) in January 2015. All 2.1 million records across all sectors were coded based on donor name, project title, short and long descriptions, and CRS code describing the purpose of the disbursement. We classified records according to the degree to which they would promote attainment of Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5 (reproductive and sexual health, maternal and newborn health, and child health). We also classified records according to whether they supported prenatal and neonatal health (PNH). The dataset includes project funding as well as allocating shares of general budget support, health sector support and basket funding. The data can be used to analyse resource flows to RMNCH or to other purposes or beneficiaries of ODA+.

Russia began an all-out invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, carrying out extensive military operations marked by war crimes and other violations of international humanitarian law. Using indiscriminate weapons such as cluster munitions in populated areas, including in cities such as Kharkiv and ...Chernihiv, Russian forces have killed civilians and demolished residential structures, including apartment blocks. The hardest-hit city of all has been Mariupol, where relentless Russian attacks have left many areas in ruins. In Bucha and other towns northwest of Kyiv, Russian soldiers have extrajudicially executed civilians and looted civilian property. More than 14 million people have been uprooted by the conflict, with close to six million fleeing to neighbouring countries as refugees. Sexual crimes have been reported.
There are reports that Ukrainian forces have operated out of residential areas, drawing Russian fire there and endangering the civilian population. There is also compelling evidence to indicate that both Russian and Ukrainian forces have mistreated prisoners of war.

The purpose of this guide is to provide practical advice for health staff undertaking infectious disease preparedness and response activities to ensure that access to safe abortion care (SAC) is maintained when an infectious disease outbreak occurs. It is an operational guide which can serve to supp...ort health actors to maintain SAC services during outbreaks and ensure that necessary SAC considerations are integrated within outbreak responses; it is not a clinical guide. The locational focus of this document is humanitarian and fragile settings; however, recommendations may apply to infectious disease outbreaks in all low-resource populations. This guide is intended to complement Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights During Infectious Disease Outbreaks: Operational Guidance for Humanitarian and Fragile Settings.

becoming children with disabilities, being
trafficked or, worse, experiencing several
of these at the same time (CPMS).

Le VIH/SIDA apparaît aujourd’hui comme l’une des pandémies les plus meurtrières au plan
mondial. Il touche particulièrement la zone subsaharienne de l’Afrique qui n’abrite guère plus
de 10% de la population mondiale mais qui possède près de deux tiers du total des personnes
infect...es par le VIH. Au Bénin la prévalence du VIH s’était stabilisée autour de 2% de 2002 à
2005 avant de passer en 2006 à 1,2% selon l’EDSB III. Cette prévalence faible présente des
disparités régionales et sociales. Les tendances épidémiologiques récentes révèlent que
l’affection du VIH/SIDA touche une population de plus en plus jeune et de plus en plus
féminine. Mais quelle est la situation des jeunes scolaires de 15-24 ans ? C’est là la principale
préoccupation prise en compte par cette communication qui vise à analyser l’influence de
l’environnement scolaire sur les risques en termes de sexualité des jeunes de 15-24 ans.

La deuxième Enquête sur la prestation des services de soins de santé du Rwanda (EPSR-II), réalisée en 2007, est une enquête représentative au niveau national au cours de laquelle un échantillon de 538 établissements de santé ont été enquêtés. L’enquête a couvert les ôpitaux, les ce...ntres de santé, les dispensaires et les postes de santé et a inclus tous les établissements publics, qu’ils appartiennent au secteur gouvernemental ou Agréé, et la plupart des établissements privées. L’EPSR-II a collecté des informations sur les capacités des
établissements à fournir des services de qualité ainsi que sur l’existence de systèmes effectifs garantissant des services de qualité, par le biais d’interviews effectuées auprès des prestataires de santé et des patients ainsi que par le biais d’observations de consultations de patients ; ces informations concernent essentiellement l’infrastructure d’ensemble de l’établissement ainsi que les services de santé maternelle, infantile, de santé de la reproduction, de tuberculose, du paludisme, des infections sexuellement transmissibles (IST) et du VIH/sida. L’objectif de cette étude est, d’une part, d’évaluer les forces et faiblesses de l’infrastructure et des systèmes de support de ces services et, d’autre part, d’évaluer le niveau d’adhésion des prestataires aux standards de prestation des services.
