Back in 2016 the Francophinie summit was held in Madagascar and the ministry of population just decided to clean up the street to hide the poverty from being seen. They loaded an entire truck of homeless each night. Those human have been treated like a herd of zebu before being taken into a hangar. They were not allowed to go out during certain day and they were not given food.
"...be thou so steadfast in My love that thy heart shall not waver, even if the swords of the enemies rain blows upon thee and all the heavens and the earth arise against thee."
I am allways amazed from the incredible moral and even physicl strenght of african women.
Women’s rights around the world are an important indicator of understanding global well-being.

Bolivia, 2013: A miner pushes an ore-filled rail cart up a slope at the Pailaviri Mine in the city of Potosí, capital of Potosí Department. Despite a low unemployment rate, poverty in the country remains high. To support their struggling families, some Bolivians have no choice but to work in hazardous jobs – such as mining. Children, too, sometimes work in dangerous conditions in the country’s harshest jobs to help their families survive.

On Wednesday, July 05th, 2023, upon awakening, I discovered an envelope discarded at the distant corner of my Placard on the pavement with no prior notification. Fortunately, I noticed it before it blew away.
It contained a letter in Greek. I am unfamiliar with the language, and the Google translation of it was inaccurate. In the end, the only useful information gleaned from it was that I needed to be at the Evelpidon Court on July 13th for a deposition.
In the Court I was deliberately being kept waiting for several hours before I was eventually given an audience and it was only in the chamber of the Judge that the purpose of their subpoena was revealed to me. It was pertaining to the occurrences that transpired at the Syntagma Police Station on August 18th, 2021. I had been called in to testify again about those incidents.

Niger, 2012: The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) – the world’s most endorsed human rights treaty – celebrates its twenty-third anniversary on 20 November 2012. The CRC expresses in international law the rights due every child, including the poorest and most marginalized. All children have the right to grow “in the spirit of peace, dignity, tolerance, freedom, equality and solidarity,” advises the CRC’s Preamble. A girl leads donkeys to fetch water in Maradi Region.

Say NO to violence against women and girls! SPREAD THIS CAMPAIGN.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Worst of all, violence against women and girls continues unabated in every continent, country and culture. It takes a devastating toll on women’s lives, on their families and on society as a whole. Most societies prohibit such violence -- yet the reality is that, too often, it is covered up or tacitly condoned." (UN SECRETARY-GENERAL in International Women’s Day 2007 Message.)
“Almost every country in the world still has laws that discriminate against women, and promises to remedy this have not been kept.” (UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on the eve of International Women's Day 2008)
According to one United Nations estimate, 113 to 200 million women are “demographically missing” from the world today. That is to say, there should be 113 to 200 million more women walking the earth, who aren’t. By that same estimate, 1.5 to 3 million women and girls lose their lives every year because of gender-based neglect or gender-based violence and Sexual Violence in Conflict.
In addition to torture, sexual violence and rape by occupation forces, a great number of women and girls are kept locked up in their homes by a very real fear of abduction and criminal abuse. In war and conflicts, girls and women have been denied their human right, including the right to health, education and employment. “Sexual violence in conflict zones is indeed a security concern. We affirm that sexual violence profoundly affects not only the health and safety of women, but the economic and social stability of their nations” –US Secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice, 19 June 2008 (Read more about UN Action against Sexual Violence in Conflict www.stoprapenow.org/ ).
Millions of young women disappear in their native land every year. Many of them are found later being held against their will in other places and forced into prostitution. According to the UNICEF ( www.unicef.org/gender/index_factsandfigures.html ),Girls between 13 and 18 years of age constitute the largest group in the sex industry. It is estimated that around 500,000 girls below 18 are victims of trafficking each year. The victims of trafficking and female migrants are sometimes unfairly blamed for spreading HIV when the reality is that they are often the victims.
According to the UNAIDS around 17.3 million, women (almost half of the total number of HIV-positive) living with HIV ( www.unaids.org ). While HIV is often driven by poverty, it is also associated with inequality, gender-based abuses and economic transition. The relationship between abuses of women's rights and their vulnerability to AIDS is alarming. Violence and discrimination prevents women from freely accessing HIV/AIDS information, from negotiating condom use, and from resisting unprotected sex with an HIV-positive partner, yet most of the governments have failed to take any meaningful steps to prevent and punish such abuse.
United Nations agencies estimated that every year 3 million girls are at risk of undergoing the procedure – which involves the partial or total removal of external female genital organs – that some 140 million women, mostly in Asia and Africa, have already endured.
We can point a finger at poverty. But poverty alone does not result in these girls and women’s deaths and suffering; the blame also falls on the social system and attitudes of the societies.
India alone accounts for more than 50 million of the women who are “missing” due to female foeticide - the sex-selective abortion of girls, dowry death, gender-based neglect and all forms of violence against women.
Since the late 1970s when the technology for sex determination first came into being, sex selective abortion has unleashed a saga of horror in India and other Asian countries. Experts are calling it "sanitized barbarism”. Worryingly, the trend is far stronger in urban rather than rural areas, and among literate rather than illiterate women, exploding the myth that growing affluence and spread of basic education alone will result in the erosion of gender bias. The United Nations has expressed serious concern about the situation.
The decline in the sex ratio and the millions of Missing Women are indicators of the feudal patriarchal resurgence. Violence against women has gone public – whether it is dowry murders, the practice of female genital mutilation, honour killings, sex selective abortions or death sentences awarded to young lovers from different communities by caste councils, rapes and killings in communal and caste violence, it is only women’s and human rights groups who are protesting – the public and institutional response to these trends is very minimal.
Millions of women suffer from discrimination in the world of work. This not only violates a most basic human right, but has wider social and economic consequences. Most of the governments turn a blind eye to illegal practices and enact and enforce discriminatory laws. Corporations and private individuals engage in abusive and sexist practices without fear of legal system.
More women are working now than ever before, but they are also more likely than men to get low-productivity, low-paid and vulnerable jobs, with no social protection, basic rights nor voice at work according to a new report by the International Labour Organization (ILO) issued for International Women’s Day 2008. Are we even half way to meeting the eight Millennium Development Goals?

Gaza suffers under Israeli blockade
The one-and-a-half million Palestinians in Gaza are struggling to cope amid power cuts as Israel continues its fuel blockade of the territory.
The shutdown of Gaza's only power plant has prompted fears of a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
Moaiya Hassanain, a health ministry official, said: "We have the choice to either cut electricity on babies in the maternity ward or heart surgery patients or stop operating rooms."
Gaza City awoke on Monday to find bread shops and petrol stations closed.
----------------------------------------------
This, and the killings of other Palestinians during the week, plus the closures, "raise very serious questions about Israel's respect for international law and its Commitment to the peace process", Dugard said. He said it violates the strict prohibition on collective punishment contained in the Fourth Geneva Convention, and one of the basic principles of international humanitarian law: that military action must distinguish between military targets and civilian targets.
let us all be with gaza in its darkeness and suffer......till this have an end

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg is a masterpiece! Architecturally, it's world class, stunning, moving, deep. The information and displays have just the right balance of academic depth, human interest, interesting artifacts, and visual appeal. The areas are separated by ramps, just long enough to de-stress and contemplate what you've read, then get ready for the next set. While not perfect, Canada is a world leader in recognizing human rights and taking action. Nonetheless, this should be mandatory viewing for every Canadian, and for every visitor to the area, DO NOT miss this one!

After being fired for missing a week of work while she was searching for her daughter Fátima, aged 17, who had gone missing, Nidia Ivonne Muñoz Gavaldón sits before Chihuahua’s State Attorney’s Office to claim truth and justice. USAID/Mexico’s Human Rights Activity (EnfoqueDH) has provided technical support to Chihuahua’s State Attorney’s Office to improve the investigation of gross human rights violations and supports the National Prosecutor General’s Office to review and update the Investigation Protocols for the Crime of Femicide and for Sexual Violence. It is expected that these protocols will contribute to more adequately investigate cases like those of Fátima and thousands of others who have disappeared or been murdered in the state of Chihuahua.

On days 69th and 70th of my 4th Hunger Strike outside the #UNHCR office in #Athens, Greece respectively on Thursday and Friday last week I had once again sought to reach the organization in order to plea for urgent help.
Since I could not enter the building, I tried speaking with the employees of the organization while they were entering or exiting. This is what happened:
One of them disrespectfully pushing me around, enjoying my suffering and laughing at me without ever listening to me.
Another one mockingly saying she would transfer my message to the guard rather than the responsible people at the UNHCR.
And another one saying I would be speaking with the High Commissioner’s representative without specifying exactly when.
However, in the end no one addressed the issue.

Since my dire situation in #Greece seems to be to the liking of the countries from which I have been asking for help so far; I decided to plea with other countries as well if not for anything at least for urgent humanitarian relief and mediation in resolving this ongoing hostage-taking and my complete deprivation in this country.
#Japan is one of those countries. But the treatment I was given at their embassy in Athens last Thursday was not so different from what I have been experiencing in particular at the U.S. and Australian Embassies for all these years.
Because they also called the Police and I was eventually taken to the district Police Station where they held me in Custody for nearly 3 hours before I was being let go again, without ever being able to see anyone from Japan’s Embassy.
