O Protocolo de Vigilância Epidemiológica e Sanitária de Eventos Adversos Pós-Vacinação (EAPV), é o documento de referência nacional para a vigilância das vacinas COVID-19. Além disso, complementará, com os demais protocolos definidos pelo Ministério da Saúde, as ações empreendidas par...a o enfretamento da pandemia de Covid-19 no país.
O desenvolvimento e a operacionalização do Protocolo obrigam à definição clara de uma estrutura de liderança, coordenação e harmonização, bem como à identificação das entidades com responsabilidades no planejamento, na execução e na avaliação das atividades estabelecidas nas três esferas de gestão do Sistem Unico de Saude. Para tanto, este Protocolo preconiza o fortalecimento da integração dos atores do SUS, bem como de segmentos da sociedade brasileira, envolvidos direta ou indiretamente com a minimização de riscos e monitoramento de EAPV.
Este documento apresenta orientações gerais estruturantes e procedimentos para o funcionamento eficiente do sistema de farmacovigilância/vigilância de eventos adversos pós-vacinação (VEAPV) nas diferentes esferas de gestão do Sistema Unico de Saude, especificamente quanto as questões de segurança e queixas técnicas de vacinas.

This document adopts a health determinants framework for examining the evidence related to women’s poor mental health. From this perspective, public policy including economic policy, socio-cultural and environmental factors, community and social support, stressors and life events, personal behavio...ur and skills, and availability and access to health services, are all seen to exercise a role in determining women’s mental health status. Similarly, when considering the differences between women and men, a gender approach has been used. While this does not exclude biological or sex differences, it considers the critical roles that social and cultural factors and unequal power relations between men and women play in promoting or impeding mental health. Such inequalities create, maintain and exacerbate exposure to risk factors that endanger women’s mental health, and are most graphically illustrated in the significantly different rates of depression between men and women, poverty and its impact, and the phenomenal prevalence of violence against women.

La présente étude a permis, non seulement de mieux connaître les différents acteurs
de la ville de Cotonou sur la thématique du handicap, mais également de mettre en lumière
les actions qu’ils mènent. La problématique du handicap est mal connue dans la ville de
Cotonou : pas de statist...iques fiables (le dernier recensement national fait état de 2,55% de
personnes handicapées au sein la population nationale). Cependant, plus de 180
associations de personnes handicapées sont recensées sur le territoire national. Et bien que
le bénin soit signataire de nombreuses conventions et accords internationaux sur la
protection et la promotion des droits des personnes handicapées, il n’existe pas de
législation nationale spécifique, relative aux personnes handicapées. Il y a (trop !) peu de
campagnes officielles de sensibilisation sur les causes et la prévention du handicap, et les
commémorations conventionnelles passent souvent inaperçues. L’étude a permis de jeter
un regard sur les relations qu’ entretiennent les acteurs publics et associatifs entre eux.

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.

In the last five years, i.e. how old turned the Campaign “Indifesa” (Defenceless) in 2016, that was launched by Terre des Hommes in 2012, the world has become smaller. One can actually say that the derangements following the Arab Spring in 2011 reshuffled what is stable and what produces instabi...lity; between those, who live in a peaceful world, and those, who try to survive in areas affected by violence. All that significantly reduced the distance between those, who live there, along the Mediterranean cost, and those, who live here. Such deep disorder made even more acute, visible and tangible also for the so called developed world all the serious violations of the human rights suffered by little girls and girls: on the one hand the widespread political instability and violence made even more precarious the little girls and young women’s conditions on the Mediterranean southern coast, where they were already fragile; and on the other hand the migration flows further worsened them, matching at the same time the conditions of those young and very young migrants to those of the European girls of the same age.

This assessment is the first of its kind to be conducted in the south-eastern region of Myanmar. It is an important contribution to ensuring the full inclusion of women and children in Myanmar’s political, social, and cultural systems, with a specific focus on the issue of gender-based violence (G...BV) and its impact on these groups in south-eastern Myanmar. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is grateful for the participation of women, men, boys and girls from Mon, Kayin and Kayah States for sharing their views and experiences during the study.
