Advancing women’s empowerment contributes to national stability, says DSRSG Walpole at International Women’s Day celebration
Baghdad, 07 March 2019 – International Women’s Day was celebrated today at an event organized by the Directorate for the Empowerment of Iraqi Women at the Council of Ministers.
The event, which was supported by UN Women and the International Medical Corps, was attended by senior Iraqi government officials, including the two Deputy Speakers of the Council of Representatives, human rights activists, civil society representatives, the international community and many others.
Deputy Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General (DSRSG) Alice Walpole addressed the meeting, along with Dr. Mahdi Al-Allaq, Secretary-General of the Council of Ministers, who represented the Prime Minister; Dr. Thikra Alwash, Mayor of Baghdad and Chair of the Standing Committee on the Advancement of Women; UN Women’s Representative, Ms. Dina Zorba and UNFPA Representative, Dr. Oluremi Sogunro; as well as the Director-General of the Directorate for the Empowerment of Iraqi Women, Dr. Ibtisam Aziz.
In her remarks, DSRSG Walpole welcomed the upcoming discussions in Parliament on updating the Anti-Domestic Violence Law. “We need to acknowledge that domestic violence diminishes and shames all of society; it is a threat not just to women but to society itself,” she emphasised.
Reflecting on the challenges facing displaced women across Iraq, DSRSG Walpole noted that “They continue to suffer the brutal consequences of the recent conflict”.
“Female-headed households should be prioritised in accessing public services,” she said, and called on the Ministries of Defence and Interior, and the National Operations Command, to “to ensure that secure clearance mechanisms are coordinated among security actors to minimize re-screening of individuals already screened; and to consider removing security clearance requirements for civilians who have not been charged with a criminal or terrorism-related offence, so they do not face obstacles in accessing public services, including civil registries and courts”.
DSRSG Walpole also noted the high unemployment rate amongst young women, which is double that of men. She called on the government to “offer small business grants to female entrepreneurs to help them into the business arena, in particular to women returnees in the liberated areas, and those heading households”.
“Advancing women’s economic empowerment in this way will contribute to the government’s efforts to achieve national stability,” she noted.

A big thank you to everyone for coming on board and contributing directly towards our whale shark research and conservation efforts!
For our research, Jen did a plankton tow to understand more about whale sharks and the food they eat. Jess and Sandy used the GoPro stereo camera frame, which is used to measure the whale sharks and understand more about the role they play for other fish at Ningaloo. Jess also collected information on the fish associated with coral Porites bommies in the Ningaloo lagoon for her Honours research. The whole team took photographs for our marine biodiversity database for Ningaloo!
One of the best ways to support us is to write a positive Trip Advisor review so that we can build up momentum for our research and conservation projects!! www.tripadvisor.com.au/Attract ion_Review-g488342-d3139329...

Night of Excellence celebrated excellence in athletics and the arts as we honored these four groups of students for their exemplary accomplishments.
Marching Band
Elizabeth Public Schools is dedicated to recognizing the excellence of those who continually contribute to the district’s vision of becoming one of the best school systems in America. The Night of Excellence Ceremony was created to honor students who have performed at a prestigious level through demonstrating exceptional dedication, determination, and perseverance.
The next group of talented, dedicated young men and women and the professionals who lead them in their high caliber performances have achieved not only a State championship title but also a National championship title. They are now the three-time defending state and national champions in US Bands Group 5A after winning the state and national championships in 2013! They have also gone undefeated in three consecutive seasons!
If that isn’t excellent enough, they were also the only high school group to be selected to perform at Super Bowl 48 here in New Jersey this past February. How big of a deal was it for this group to perform at the Media Day and Gameday events for Super Bowl 48? The game was watched by 112.2 million people in the United States, the largest television audience in United States history.
Alexander Hamilton Preparatory Academy
The next group of students are part of the school that was ranked among the best high schools in New Jersey and America by The Washington Post and U.S. News & World Report. This school was ranked Number 11 in New Jersey and Number 613 in America by The Washington Post and Number 30 in New Jersey and Number 836 in America by U.S. News & World Report. In its performance on state assessments, the school attained the rankings of ‘Very High Performing’ in Academic Achievement in a peer comparison and ‘High Performing’ in a statewide comparison, while achieving a ‘High Performing’ ranking in College and Career readiness when compared to its peer schools.
Elizabeth High School
Next, we want to recognize another one of our high schools that was ranked among the best in New Jersey and America by The Washington Post and U.S. News & World Report. This school was ranked Number 1 in New Jersey and Number 34 in America by The Washington Post and Number 11 in New Jersey and Number 221 in America by U.S. News & World Report. This school has a 96% graduation rate with a total enrollment of 769 students and it has attained an impressive 99% proficiency or advanced proficiency on the High School Proficiency Assessment. Lastly, this school was recently identified by the State of New Jersey as ‘Very High Performing’ in the category of Academic Achievement in both peer and statewide comparisons.
Terence C. Reilly School No. 7
Last, but not least, is a school that was one of 59 throughout the country to be nationally recognized as a National Title I Distinguished School for exceptional student achievement in 2013. This designation is awarded in honor of the efforts of schools across the country in making significant improvements for their students. The program has been in place since 1996, highlighting the success of hundreds of schools in the categories of exceptional student performance for two or more consecutive years and closing the achievement gap between students.

Nearly a decade in the works; Uprise and Quiksilver joined together to develop a concept into product. This concept was inspired by a vision of true blue-collar quality product, centered on the standard Blue Collar -- Beach City Clean Up Crew Uniform. What was once only a concept, only a vision, became the most authentic product collaboration between two of the skateboard industry's most prestigious brands.

Christian Koloko contributed 17 points, 13 rebounds, six assists and five blocked shots in a stellar all-around performance to help No. 1 seed Arizona sail to an 87-70 victory over Wright State on Friday in a South Regional first-round game at San Diego.
Bennedict Mathurin scored a team-best 18 points and Dalen Terry added 16 points and seven rebounds for the Wildcats, who will face ninth-seeded TCU (21-12) in Sunday's second round. The Horned Frogs routed eighth-seeded Seton Hall 69-42.
Azuolas Tubelis had 13 points and Pelle Larsson added 11 for Arizona (32-3), which overcame 19 turnovers during the wire-to-wire victory.
"I think they were fine," Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd said of his players to truTV. "Wright State is a good team and they have a lot of pride and they have no quit in them. We had them on the ropes a couple times and they battled back."
Grant Basile registered 21 points and three blocked shots for Wright State (22-14). Trey Calvin scored 16 points, Tim Finke had 15 points, six rebounds and four steals, and Tanner Holden had just 12 points.
Holden was just 3 of 11 from the field two nights after pouring in 37 points on 11-of-15 in shooting in a 93-82 win over Bryant in the First Four at Dayton, Ohio.
Kerr Kriisa (ankle) missed his third straight game for Arizona.
The Wildcats shot 55 percent from the field, including 11 of 20 from 3-point range. Arizona held a 46-25 rebounding edge to offset their turnovers.

Although the U.S. Air Force provided the largest number of aircraft, U.S. Navy, Marine and Army aviation, along with UN partners and the budding South Korean Air Force, also contributed to the fight in Korea.
South Korea, the U.S. and 15 other nations contributed military forces to the UN command in Korea. The U.S. force consisted of aviation units from the USAF, Navy, Marines and Army. The small South Korean Air Force started the war unable to contribute combat forces, but with USAF assistance and equipment, fielded combat forces as the war progressed. Great Britain, Australia and South Africa sent combat air units, while Greece, Canada, Thailand and the Philippines sent airlift units to Korea. Moreover, some of these countries sent aircrews to fly in USAF units on exchange duty.

The March Of The Wooden Soldiers came to Elizabeth Avenue for the Elizabeth Avenue Partnership’s (EAP) Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony at Union Square Plaza on Tuesday, November 28. Located on Elizabeth Avenue between First Avenue and High Street, the “Square” as it is known was adorned with 15 wooden toy soldiers, created by the Thomas A. Edison Career and Technical Academy Wood Shop and painted by art classes in 15 district schools.
“Elizabeth Public Schools has always emphasized the importance of arts education as part of developing well-rounded students,” said Elizabeth Public Schools Superintendent Olga Hugelmeyer. “We are excited and proud that the excellent work of our art students and teachers will be prominently displayed in the city throughout the holiday season.”
The number 15 is also significant since the Minuteman Statue located at the “Square” embodies the 15 brave soldiers who held off the British in time for George Washington and his Continental Army to march from Springfield to Elizabeth to defeat the British troops, almost 5,000 in number during the Revolutionary War Battle of 1780. These 15 wooden soldiers were placed around the Minuteman statue, fittingly so, as if to be protecting it.
The partnership between the EAP and Elizabeth Public Schools is the first of its kind, linking students with the business district in the town in which they live and attend school, creating a sense of community pride, according to Dave Strochak, EAP Executive Director. “Elizabeth Avenue comes alive during the holiday season and this year even moreso than ever with these colorful wooden soldiers. The Art Classes at these 15 schools and the Edison Tech Woodshop should be commended, under the direction of Art Director Tracy Monteiro, for an amazing job. We are really excited to be working with the talented students and teachers in our great Elizabeth school system.”
The ceremony was attended by local dignitaries including Elizabeth Mayor J. Christian Bollwage, members of the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders, members of Elizabeth City Council, and members of the Elizabeth Board of Education; students and art teachers who helped create the toy soldiers; and families throughout the greater Elizabeth community.
"I would like to thank the staff and students for doing such a great job on this project working with the EAP to decorate Elizabeth Avenue with these Toy Soldiers and on behalf of myself and the Board of Education I would like to wish you all a safe and happy holiday season." Elizabeth Board of Education President Stan Neron said to the tree lighting attendees.
Elizabeth Board of Education Vice President Maria Carvalho was happy that Elizabeth Public Schools was able to further unite with the community by contributing to the ceremony.
“The tree lighting and toy soldier unveiling is a great event that brings Elizabeth families together in the spirit of the holiday season,” said Elizabeth Board of Education Vice President Maria Carvalho. “As we officially kick off the holiday season by lighting the tree and unveiling the remarkably detailed toy soldiers that were painted by our students, we as a community are reminded that it is our children who are so inspiring and make these moments truly special.”
