This project is implemented by Jarkyn Shadymanova and SERC “Bilim Bakcha” in Kyrgyzstan. The project is an awareness raising project for rural women in Kyrgyzstan. Kyrgyzstan is known by its bride kidnapping practices. This kind of forced marriages caused unregistered marriages. Women in unregistered marriages can be among the most disadvantaged group in society, and many confront barriers as a direct result of their limited rights in the marriages. They are a subjected of violence and abuse, and have more difficulties ending an abusive relationship due to lack of support and legal protection. Ignorance may pose challenges, while existing gender stereotypes and discriminatory attitudes in the society is limited their rights. Women in the rural places are poorly informed or not educated about their rights. This project aims to inform and train women about their human rights in rural places in Kyrgyzstan.

Persistent Gender Inequality in Iraq Calls for Coordinated Efforts in Developing 2nd National Action Plan on Implementing Resolution 1325
Baghdad, Iraq, 3 October 2018 – Gender inequality continues to prevail in Iraq with worrisome signals that it is deepening, requiring intensified efforts and coordination in developing a new action plan on implementing UN Security Council resolution 1325, UN Representative to Iraq Ján Kubiš said today at the high-level consultation meeting on the development of the 2nd National Action Plan. Although he was encouraged to see progress in the protection pillar and dedicated efforts to strengthen the participation pillar in the National Action Plan, the legacy of the conflict with the terrorist Da’esh continues to hamper steps forward and there are other worrying signs of women being targeted.
Mr. Kubiš condemned the recent attacks against women, including the assassination of two women and the sudden death of two others in the past month, all of them active in political and social spheres. Other civil society activists including women are targeted by social media and political threat campaign, among others for their contacts with foreign embassies. This is unacceptable.
“Only once politically and socially active women are protected and safe, Iraq can claim to be making real progress towards women’s equality and empowerment,” he said.
The development of a new NAP with all the diversity and complexity of issues will require continuous coordination and collaboration across sectors, in particular involving civil society, and drawing from the lessons learned from the previous plan, the Special Representative said.
“By making your deliberations open to the society, by publicly broadcasting them you could mobilise even broader support for your objectives,” Mr. Kubiš said.
The Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Iraq noted with disappointment that political forces that negotiate the formation of the government do so, again without the participation of women. “We all need to ask: “when the political leaders intend to deliver on their pledges to empower women and advance their rights as a part of the democratic entitlement of all Iraqis thus strengthening equal representation and inclusiveness? The time is now. Otherwise, all the exclamations about commitment to equality of women and values of democracy continue to sound hollow.”
Mr. Kubiš outlined UN efforts in support of women empowerment, noting that UNAMI supports women parliamentarians in their quest to establish a cross-political women’s parliamentary caucus. UNAMI will continue to impress on Political Parties who are key to advancing the participation of women in all processes to include women in their leadership structures, urging men advocates to assume a more prominent role, and parliamentarians to consider gender responsive budget in the next budget law to enhance the implementation of the NAP. The UN will also continue to advocate for the establishment of a dedicated institution in the next government structure with budget and authority to coordinate the implementation of the NAP and national frameworks and policies on WPS.
The UN in Iraq will also mobilise support of the broader international community, including through the International Gender Group from among embassies here in Baghdad, Mr. Kubiš concluded.

Prosperidad Social implementará convenios con organizaciones sociales y juntas de acción comunal (JAC) para los proyectos de infraestructura social y hábitat, que financia y ejecuta en los municipios más pobres del país. La directora de la entidad, Cielo Rusinque Urrego, lo anunció este viernes en el Congreso Nacional de Municipios, organizado por la Federación Nacional de Municipios en Cartagena de Indias.
“Tenemos capacidad legal para hacer estos convenios solidarios, en compañía con el ente territorial. Acompañaremos técnicamente lo que requieran, de acuerdo con la complejidad de las obras y la capacidad que haya en el territorio. Vincular a estas organizaciones beneficiará la economía popular y garantizará la participación de la comunidad”, explicó. Recordó que el Gobierno Nacional pretende fortalecer a las organizaciones sociales y comunitarias y fomentar su participación en los procesos de desarrollo territorial.
Las JAC integrarán el comité que seleccionará los proyectos de infraestructura. Serán priorizados de acuerdo con una clasificación que cruza criterios, entre esos, los índices de desnutrición, riesgo de victimización y pobreza multidimensional. El comité estará conformado por representantes de las JAC, el Ministerio de la Igualdad, la Consejería de Regiones, el ICBF, la Unidad para las Víctimas y Prosperidad Social.
La entidad tiene 500.000 millones de pesos destinados a la ejecución de obras de infraestructura social y hábitat durante este año. “100.000 millones de pesos están destinados a la subsanación de los proyectos pendientes de vigencias anteriores. El resto están destinados a obras en territorios que podamos apoyar, de acuerdo con las necesidades y con la aplicación del enfoque diferencial territorial”, informó Rusinque.
En el escenario del congreso de alcaldes, el subdirector de Programas y Proyectos de la entidad, Carlos Chinchilla, y el director de infraestructura, Eduardo Mesa, atendieron a alcaldes de municipios en los que hay proyectos suspendidos de vigencias anteriores, para acordar la realización de las mesas técnicas en las que revisarán la posibilidad de agilizarlos.
Desde noviembre pasado, la entidad organiza estas mesas técnicas para revisar la viabilidad de los proyectos de infraestructura social con mayor impacto en las condiciones de las poblaciones más vulnerables: con mayor incidencia de hambre y pobreza, y riesgos o consecuencias por el invierno. Desde entonces, ha logrado destrabar cerca de setenta obras en más de sesenta municipios del país. Algunas de estas obras fueron entregadas este mes durante una jornada nacional.
“Recibimos una ejecución del presupuesto del 5 %. En pocos meses, al finalizar el año, la llevamos a la ejecución de más del 75 %, mediante el acompañamiento en mesas técnicas para viabilizar y ejecutar los proyectos”, recordó Rusinque este viernes.

Cuenca.- Con el objetivo de apoyar a la población en situación de vulnerabilidad y conocer los protocolos de seguridad que han implementado las industrias para continuar laborando durante la emergencia, el vicepresidente Otto Sonnenholzner visitó tres cantones de Azuay.
En estos recorridos también participaron el ministro de Inclusión Economía y Social, MIES, Iván Granda, el gobernador Xavier Martínez y varios representantes locales.
En Cuenca, las autoridades estuvieron en la empresa familiar de productos lácteos Nutrileche, que durante la emergencia sanitaria continuó trabajando con más de 175 trabajadores. Para ello, han implementado medidas, como el uso de uniformes de bioseguridad, toma de temperatura, entre otros aspectos de higiene y desinfección.
Así mismo, recorrieron la línea de producción Ecoline de Fibroacero, industria de fabricación de cocinas, cocinetas, tanques de gas y congeladores.

Todos laboran con el equipamiento de seguridad necesario, además se les ha proporcionado un instructivo para sus familias frente a la pandemia y kits de mascarillas, gel, alcohol y cloro.
El Vicepresidente destacó que “sirven como ejemplo para laborar cuidando la salud del personal. Necesitamos rápidamente reactivar algunos sectores para mantener el empleo y generar ingresos”, aseguró.
Además, con el objetivo de analizar estrategias para la reactivación económica y evaluar las acciones tomadas hasta el momento, el segundo mandatario mantuvo una reunión con los presidentes de la Cámara de Comercio de Cuenca, Fernando Romero; de la Cámara de Industrias, Producción y Empleo, Diego Malo y de la Cámara de la Pequeña Industria del Azuay, Fernando Romero.
“Ha sido una reunión productiva, es momento de trabajar en esta nueva normalidad arrimando todos el hombro, por ello ratificamos nuestro apoyo”, manifestó Malo.
Actualmente, en el Parque Industrial de esta ciudad, más de 100 empresas volvieron a laborar manteniendo cerca de 12 mil puestos de trabajo, confirmó, por su parte, Romero.
El gobernador Xavier Martínez dio a conocer que “se han coordinado las acciones interinstitucionalmente para iniciar nuevamente con las actividades productivas y continuar entregando víveres a los ciudadanos”.
La jornada continuó junto a las brigadas de los ministerios de Salud e Inclusión, quienes brindan atención integral a las familias más vulnerables en todo el país. Esta vez, llegaron a Gualaceo, en el sector Bullcay, barrio El Asentamiento y Antonio Vera Guanaco, donde se entregaron 800 kits de alimentos; otros 500 se destinaron a familias de Jardines de Paute y 700 a los habitantes de Los Pinos Altos en Cuenca.

“Estamos acompañando a las brigadas de salud y alimentación para revisar que la ciudadanía esté bien y darles una ayuda para que puedan sostener el aislamiento por más tiempo”, enfatizó el vicemandatario. Además, escuchó las necesidades de los habitantes, “entendemos la situación porque es difícil mantenerse en aislamiento, pero tenemos que seguir avanzando, cumpliendo las medidas y con la certeza de que el principal enemigo es el COVID-19”, explicó.
En este contexto, el ministro Granda comentó que desde el Gobierno se han implementado varias estrategias, “hemos atendido a los ecuatorianos con bonos de asistencia social que ampliaron su cobertura y beneficia a cerca de 1.950 mil familias y la protección del empleo. En este tema, Cuenca ha sido constante y emprendió un proceso ordenado para lograr un equilibrio entre productividad y bioseguridad, 118 comercios cuencanos están reiniciando sus actividades”, dijo.
Una de las beneficiarias, Blanca Tigre, manifestó su agradecimiento por la ayuda entregada, “estamos contentos con la llegada del segundo mandatario, me dio valor para realizarme la prueba. Pedimos que se cuide para que siga luchando contra la pandemia”, finalizó.

The scene behind this mining implement is actually a glacier! The main body of the glacier, high in the mountains, moves about 100 feet per year, grinding off chunks of the mountains as it passes through. The rubble is deposited on the surface of the icy glacier, hidden beneath. AND...if you look carefully, you can see a perfectly round tunnel behind and a little to the right of center of the 'implelment'. We were told by a couple of fellows who hiked out to it, that it is a natural ice bridge or tunnel, but not formed by water flowing through it.
Innovations In My City (IIMC) is all about creating photo-stories which document social issues as well as successful implementations of innovations and entrepreneurship across the world:

Hand Pumps for Community Water Supply
Location: Moradani Village, Mir Pur Sakro District Thatta Sindh.
Project Duration: July 2015- September 2015
Cost of pumps financed by: Mr. Afroz Hussaini
Implementing Partners: Lodhie Foundation & Shaan Technologies Private Limited
Total Pumps Installed: 10
Beneficiaries: 465 Household with an estimated population of 3600 Peoples.
Pakistan is one of the most water stressed countries in the world where total actual renewable water resources have been decreasing day by day. Presently water resources in Pakistan decreased from 5000 cubic meters per capita in 1951 to 1100 cubic meters in last year.
Currently, over 35 percent of Pakistan’s population does not have access to safe drinking water. The quality of drinking water supply is poor, with bacterial contamination, arsenic, fluoride and nitrate being the factors of major concern. Province of Sindh is one of the highly water scarce province of Pakistan. Deterioration in water quality and contamination of lakes, rivers and groundwater aquifers has resulted in increased waterborne diseases and other health impacts.
Coastal belt of Sindh is one of the highly effected areas where decreased inflow in Indus river delta is resulting in salt water intrusion from sea. This reduced water inflow destabilized eco system as well as made drinking water availability a major problem for the people especially women.
Mirpur Sakro is one of the water scarce area near coastal belt of Sindh. It is 90 kilometers away from Karachi. Since last 2 years Lodhie Foundation is providing relief to the community through installing hand pumps is this area. Lodhie Foundation is very grateful to Syed Afroze Hussaini for his generous support for the installation of 10 hand pumps in Village Mora Dani and surrounding areas located in Mirpur Sakro district Thatta Sindh.
Pumps Installation was started in Mid of August 2015 and finished in 3rd week of September 2015. Before the installation of pumps near their houses, women are used to travel 1 to 5 Kilometers to fetch a pot water for their families and cattle.
At the completion time of Hand pump installation nearly 465 households of village MoraDani and surrounding areas were enjoying clean water near their houses. Earlier they were dependent on open reservoirs, canals or open wells for drinking water. Women have to walk quiet a distance to fetch water and multiple rounds are performed to collect sufficient amount of water for their daily usage. Before the installation of hand pumps women have to walk 1 to 5 km, to fetch water which need 1 to 3 hours. Now the
condition has been improved drastically as, water is available near their homes which is a blessing for families and their cattle. Pump water is used for domestic purpose and drinking.
Availability of spare parts for repair and maintenance is not easy in remote areas. To overcome this problem each pump is supplied with necessary spares to keep it maintain without any delay.
