“They Treated Us in Monstrous Ways”.
Since the Syrian conflict began in March 2011, men and boys and transgender women have been subjected to rape and other forms of sexual violence by the Syrian government and non-state armed groups, including the extremist armed group Islamic State (also kno...wn as ISIS). Heterosexual men and boys are vulnerable to sexual violence in Syria, but men who are gay or bisexual—or perceived to be—and transgender women are particularly at risk.

La Perspectiva Mundial sobre la Diversidad Biológica (PMB) es la principal publicación del Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica (CDB). Se trata de un informe periódico que resume los datos más recientes sobre la situación y las tendencias de la biodiversidad y extrae conclusiones pertinentes... para la aplicación ulterior del Convenio.
La GBO-5 ofrece un resumen global de los progresos realizados en la consecución de las Metas de Aichi para la Diversidad Biológica y se basa en una serie de indicadores, estudios de investigación y evaluaciones (en particular la Evaluación Mundial de la Diversidad Biológica y los Servicios de los Ecosistemas de la IPBES), así como en los informes nacionales presentados por los países sobre su aplicación del CDB. Los informes nacionales proporcionan una rica información sobre las medidas adoptadas en los países de todo el mundo en apoyo de la conservación de la biodiversidad, el uso sostenible y el reparto justo y equitativo de los beneficios. Este conjunto de información proporciona una gran cantidad de información sobre los éxitos y los desafíos en la aplicación del Plan Estratégico para la Diversidad Biológica 2011-2020 y en la consecución de las Metas de Aichi para la Diversidad Biológica.
Esta Perspectiva se basa en las lecciones aprendidas durante las dos primeras décadas de este siglo para aclarar las transiciones necesarias si queremos hacer realidad la visión acordada por los gobiernos del mundo para 2050, "Vivir en armonía con la naturaleza".

Sudan recorded the first COVID-19 case on 13 March 2020 and, at the beginning of July, the Federal Ministry of Health had confirmed that nearly 10,000 people had contracted the virus, including over 600 who died from the disease across the country. Although more than 70 per cent of the confirmed cas...es are in the Khartoum area, COVID-19 has spread throughout the country, with the highest numbers recorded in the central and eastern states. With extremely low testing capacity — around 800 samples per day, the lowest in the region — the official figures of confirmed cases likely underestimate the extent of the pandemic and the actual situation is unknown.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the inadequacy of investments in public health, the persistence of profound economic and social inequalities and the fragility of many key global systems and approaches.
Poor sanitary conditions in disaster-stricken areas result in higher risk for diarrheal illness in vulnerable populations, especially children. This disease negatively impacts the nutritional status of affected children and causes significant morbidity and mortality. Early di...agnosis and treatment are thus essential to reduce the impact of diarrheal diseases on people affected by disasters. Early identification of cases allows the implementation of measures needed to prevent or lessen outbreaks that can occur in displaced populations in this context. The use of primary care management tools, such as the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) strategy is highly important.This module will first discuss diarrheal diseases and their management, and dehydration and its treatments.
