In Armenia, women are more likely than men to hold higher education degrees, yet they have a much lower presence in government, both locally and nationally.
One organic way of getting women into politics is by starting at the local level. UNDP’s Women in Local Democracy programme has been working since 2012 to promote equality between women and men, including equal representation of women in decision-making processes.

Village Bijulia, Samho Block, Dist. Begusarai, Bihar, INDIA. .Sanjay Kumar, Vaccine Courier, handsover vaccine carrier to Ritu Rani, Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM), and Anita Kumar, ASHA worker at Anganwadi centre in Begusarai, Bihar. Social Mobilisation Network (SMNet), a UNICEF-supported initiative which mobilizes the community at every level village, block, district, region, state to get their children immunized from basic diseases as part of the governments routine immunization programmes. SMNet was started essentially in the 2000s as part of the government's anti-Polio campaigns. SMNet officers thus operate at every level, starting from the village level (where there's a Community Mobilisation Coordinator, typically belonging to the village), to the block, district, sub-region, and region, where there are corresponding mobilizing coordinators for every block, district, sub-region etc. SMNet is premised on the idea that people from within the community are the best ones to mobilize others in their people be it their village, their block or district. But this is where officers such as Bijay Ranjan prove that familiarity is merely an added advantage to the mobilizing process: the real trick lies in effective communication. It is this that made SMNet successful to the extent that SMNET Bihar officers have gone on mobilization drives to other states such as Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh etc. Although SMNet started as a tool to fight Polio campaign, over the years it has transcended its original definition, and become a pool of human resource that can be realigned to any other social/developmental goal. In fact, as of 2015, exactly a year after the WHO declared India as Polio Free, the SMNet is busy tackling diarrhea, malnutrition, hygiene and breast-feeding, all of which are critical to keeping Polio at bay. Immunization in India continues to be an ongoing challenge.

Community Mental Health for Older People is the perfect resource for mental health workers as it discuses the ageing population, within the context of community mental health. It provides a comprehensive overview of the important issues and clinical practices that influence mental health care for older people. Written from a multidisciplinary perspective it is suitable for all health workers in community mental health teams (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workers, clinical psychologists, consumer representatives, medical practitioners, occupational therapists, registered nurses, social workers, etc) as it incorporates the use of case studies to aid in the application of evidence-based practice.
This text covers issues relevant to the mental health of older people within a community context in Australia and New Zealand. Issues include population health and the clinical management of the major concerns experienced with the diverse clinical presentations by older people. The mental health care of older people is now considered a specialist area with older person’s mental health services being key components of the mental health service framework. The publication is primarily aimed at health workers in community mental health teams (registered nurses, clinical psychologists, medical practitioners, social workers, occupational therapists, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workers etc), but would incorporate those trainee health professionals involved in relevant undergraduate and postgraduate studies.

I just had to meet Joe.....
I have seen Joe in this pose for many years, sitting on his portable stool playing his stop sign while waiting to assist a student crossing Mortimer Avenue.
I had my camera with me and as I approached him I thought I should chat with him so I parked my car and left my camera there for the time being. I went over and we chatted for about ten minutes and there weren't any surprises here. Joe is a retired Social Worker and loves to come out each morning. It gets him out of the house. He LOVES music, you can see the wires in his chest pocket, he took them off when we talked. Joe told me that many motorists wave to him as they are passing by and as he crossed me back to the other side a motorist beeped at him and made the motion for him to play. I explained the 100 Strangers project and asked if I could take his picture and he allowed me. What a wonderful and cheery man Joe is.
Did you notice his stop sign has been worn out by him strumming it all this time?
This is #26 in my 100 Strangers Project. Find out more about the project and see more photographs by other photographers at www.100 strangers.com

Red Ribbon express: AIDS awareness, an exhibition train, which travels across India. A project of the Indian government supported by UNICEF
A national campaign to create awareness and the issues of HIV/AIDS.
P. Sridevi (in a blue sari) worked in SHIP Positive Network PPPTCT + ve project as outreach worker. At present she is working as Family Case Manager in Bala Sahayoga project.
During 2006 to 2009 May in PPTCT +ve project she worked as ORW. When Red Ribbon express reached Guntur Station on May 1st, 2nd and 3rd of May, 2008 , Ms Sridevi took responsibility to provide information to the visitors who approach information box .She felt happy that she contributed in orienting people through information box towards prevention of epidemic.
That incident motivated her to involve more into similar kind of activities. She started follow up of pregnant women in referring them to ICTCs, if they found positive then continuous follow up till 9th month, counseling the spouse and ensuring their HIV test, use of condom, supporting them for institutional delivery, ensuring nevirapine prophylaxis etc.
Till now Ms Sridevi followed up 100 +ve mothers. As a Family Case Manager, now she is doing the follow up of families of positives. Orienting the HIV positives on Services available, encouraging them to access the services, ensuring the drop out children of positives to join the schools, supporting them to cope up with the stigma and discrimination through counseling the total family.
The strong reason behind her work for positives is .......She is positive and she feels that nobody should become positive like her.

These scans come from my rather large magazine collection. Instead of filling my house with old moldy magazines, I scanned them (in most cases, photographed them) and filled a storage area with moldy magazines. Now they reside on an external harddrive. I thought others might appreciate these tidbits of forgotten history.
Please feel free to leave any comments or thoughts or impressions... They are happily appreciated!
In a world that is constantly telling you who to be, be bold, be yourself! 💪💚
