SUMMARY:#LiteracyDay / Dag van de Geletterdheid / Dag voor de bestrijding van laaggeletterdheid 2024
DESCRIPTION:The 8th of September was proclaimed International Literacy Day by UNESCO in 1966 to remind the international community of the importance of literacy for individuals\, communities and societies\, and the need for intensified efforts towards more literate societies. \nThe issue of literacy is a key component of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The UN’s Sustainable Development Agenda\, adopted by world leaders in September 2015\, promotes universal access to quality education and learning opportunities throughout people’s lives. Sustainable Development Goal 4 has as one of its targets ensuring all young people achieve literacy and numeracy and that adults\, who lack these skills are given the opportunity to acquire them. Since 1967\, UNESCO International Literacy Prizes have rewarded excellence and innovation in the field of literacy. Over 500 projects and programmes undertaken by governments\, non-governmental organizations and individuals around the world have been recognized. Through these prestigious Prizes\, UNESCO seeks to support effective literacy practices and encourages the promotion of dynamic literate societies. Each year the prizes are announced on 7 September. \nLinks:\nLiteracy Day

SUMMARY:Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances / Dag voor de Slachtoffers van Gedwongen Verdwijningen 2024
DESCRIPTION:Enforced disappearance has frequently been used as a strategy to spread terror within the society\, the feeling of insecurity generated by this practice is not limited to the close relatives of the disappeared\, but also affects their communities and society as a whole. \nEnforced disappearance has become a global problem and is not restricted to a specific region of the world. Once largely the product of military dictatorships\, enforced disappearances can nowadays be perpetrated in complex situations of internal conflict\, especially as a means of political repression of opponents. Of particular concern are: \n\n    the ongoing harassment of human rights defenders\, relatives of victims\, witnesses and legal counsel dealing with cases of enforced disappearance;\n    the use by States of counter-terrorist activities as an excuse for breaching their obligations;\n    and the still widespread impunity for enforced disappearance.\n\nSpecial attention must also be paid to specific groups of especially vulnerable people\, like children and people with disabilities. \nOn 21 December 2010\, by its resolution 65/209 the UN General Assembly expressed its deep concern about the increase in enforced or involuntary disappearances in various regions of the world\, including arrest\, detention and abduction\, when these are part of or amount to enforced disappearances\, and by the growing number of reports concerning harassment\, ill-treatment and intimidation of witnesses of disappearances or relatives of persons who have disappeared. By the same resolution the Assembly welcomed the adoption of the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance\, and decided to declare 30 August the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances\, to be observed beginning in 2011. \nLinks:\nDay of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances – 30 August \nEnforced disappearance (Amnesty International)

SUMMARY:I Have a Dream (1963) 2024
DESCRIPTION:I Have a Dream (Nederlands: Ik heb een droom) is de titel van een beroemde rede die Martin Luther King hield op 28 augustus 1963. \nDe rede van bij elkaar 17 minuten hield King voor het Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. De woorden van King inspireerden niet alleen de bezoekers ter plekke\, maar ook elders in de wereld en in latere tijden. De rede hield hij ter gelegenheid van de mars naar Washington die die dag in de stad was aangekomen\, ten overstaan van een publiek van meer dan 250.000 mensen. Van de rede werd rechtstreeks verslag uitgebracht op televisie. De rede hield hij voor een publiek van meer dan 200.000 mensen ter gelegenheid van de mars naar Washington die die dag in de stad was aangekomen. Met de mars wilde de Amerikaanse burgerrechtenbeweging de weg vrijmaken voor meer arbeidsplaatsen\, vrijheid en gelijkheid\, in het bijzonder voor de Afro-Amerikanen in de Verenigde Staten. De mars werd georganiseerd door zes mensenrechtenorganisaties die The Big Six genoemd werden. Van de rede werd rechtstreeks verslag uitgebracht op televisie en ze kende een uitgebreidere media-aandacht dan welke gebeurtenis ook sinds de inauguratie van John F. Kennedy als president van de Verenigde Staten op 6 januari 1961. \nLinks:\nMartin Luther King’s first I Have a Dream speech recording unearthed \nFull text at the BBC \nVideo of “I Have a Dream” speech – LearnOutLoud.com \n“I Have a Dream” – AmericanRhetoric.com \n“I Have A Dream” speech – Dr. Martin Luther King with music by Doug Katsaros \nI Have a Dream Summary (Class 12)

SUMMARY:Tanzania heeft het stemrecht van Masai-burgers ontnomen / Laat de Masai stemmen! - petitie
DESCRIPTION:Tanzania heeft het stemrecht van 100.000 Masai-burgers ontnomen omdat ze weigeren het land van hun voorouders te verlaten. \nDe overheid heeft al duizenden Inheemse Masai met vuurwapens en traangas van hun land verdreven om plaats te maken voor safaritoerisme. Maar nu gaan ze nog een stap verder door de moedige Masai die weigeren uit het Ngorongoro-district te vertrekken hun stemrecht te ontnemen. De Tanzaniaanse overheid probeert dit geheim te houden om te voorkomen dat internationale financiers hun steun intrekken — maar met een wereldwijde oproep van onze beweging kunnen we dit in de schijnwerpers plaatsen\, financiers dwingen om een grens te trekken en de Masai helpen hun stemrecht terug te krijgen. \nLinks:\nLaat de Masai stemmen! \nTanzania: stop de uitzetting van de Masai – petitie

SUMMARY:World Youth Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:International Youth Day (IYD) is an awareness day designated by the United Nations\, the purpose of the day is to draw attention to a given set of cultural and legal issues surrounding youth. \nIYD is observed annually on August 12. It is meant as an opportunity for governments and others to draw attention to youth issues worldwide. During IYD\, concerts\, workshops\, cultural events\, and meetings involving national and local government officials and youth organizations take place around the world. The World Conference of Ministers Responsible for Youth adopted a resolution to proclaim August 12 as International Youth Day at its first session in Lisbon\, Portugal\, from 8 to 12 August 1998. The recommendation was later endorsed by the General Assembly of the United Nations on December 17\, 1999\, with the adoption of Resolution 54/120. \n2024 IYD Theme: ‘From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development‘. Digitalization is transforming our world\, offering unprecedented opportunities to accelerate sustainable development. Digital technologies such as mobile devices\, services\, and artificial intelligence are instrumental in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Data generated from digital interactions supports evidence-based decision-making. With profound impact across economic\, social and environmental dimensions\, digital technologies and data contribute to at least 70 per cent of the 169 SDG targets while potentially reducing the cost of achieving these goals by up to USD 55 trillion. Young people are leading the charge in digital adoption and innovation\, with three-quarters of those aged 15 to 24 using the internet in 2022\, a rate higher than other age groups. However\, disparities persist\, particularly in low-income countries and among young women\, who often have less access to the internet and digital skills compared to their male counterparts. While there is an urgent need to enhance digital inclusion\, youth are largely recognized as “digital natives\,” using technology to drive change and create solutions. As the 2030 deadline for the SDGs approaches\, the role of young people in digital innovation is essential for addressing global issues. By celebrating the digital contributions of youth\, we can inspire further innovation and collaboration towards achieving sustainable development. \nLinks:\nWorld Youth Day

SUMMARY:#Childfree #InternationalChildfreeDay Non-Parents Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:International Childfree Day is celebrated annually on 1 August\, it was created in 1973 in the United States by the National Alliance for Optional Parenthood\, at the time the National Organisation for Non-Parents (N.O.N.)\, under the name of Non-Parents’ Day. \nThe day is aimed at celebrating people who voluntarily choose not to have children and to foster acceptance of the childfree choice. It has also been described as “a day of celebration worldwide for those couples who have faced criticism\, ridicule\, and rejection because they chose to be Childless by Choice.” The initiative\, resurrected in 2013 by author Laura Carroll\, also bestows annual Non Parent of the Year Award\, which initially consisted of a male and a female. As of 2018\, the ‘male’ and ‘female’ categories were replaced by Childfree Person of the Year (a person of any gender identification) and Childfree Group of the Year (a couple\, duo\, trio\, or a group\, whether childfree romantic partners\, social media groups\, forum leaders\, or website founders). Winners include Belgian writer Théophile de Giraud and American author Jennifer Thorpe-Moscon in 2013. The 2020 winners were Elizabeth Hintz\, an American doctoral candidate who “has dedicated her professional career to understanding and normalizing childfree experiences”\, and the Russian internet community “Childfree”\, which “has helped so many people to find a point of support in so pro-child\, so patriarchal Russian society.” \nLinks:\nChildfree Day / Non-Parents Day

SUMMARY:UN report: Palestinian detainees held arbitrarily and secretly\, subjected to torture and mistreatment / Detention in the context of the escalation of hostilities in Gaza - publication
DESCRIPTION:The UN Human Rights Office published a report on arbitrary\, prolonged and incommunicado detention by Israeli authorities\, affecting thousands of Palestinians from 7 October 2023 until 30 June 2024. \nThe report also covers allegations of torture and other forms of cruel\, inhuman and degrading treatment\, including sexual abuse of women and men. Since 7 October\, thousands of Palestinians – including medical staff\, patients and residents fleeing the conflict\, as well as captured fighters – have been taken from Gaza to Israel\, usually shackled and blindfolded. Thousands more have been detained in the West Bank and Israel. They have generally been held in secret\, without being given a reason for their detention\, access to a lawyer or effective judicial review\, the report states. At least 53 Palestinian detainees are known to have died in Israeli military facilities and prisons since the horrific attacks by Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups against Israeli civilians on 7 October. \nThe staggering number of men\, women\, children\, doctors\, journalists and human rights defenders detained since 7 October\, most of them without charge or trial and held in deplorable conditions\, along with reports of ill-treatment and torture and violation of due process guarantees\, raises serious concerns regarding the arbitrariness and the fundamentally punitive nature of such arrests and detention\, said UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk. In Gaza\, mostly men and adolescent boys have been detained. Many have been taken into custody while sheltering in schools\, hospitals and residential buildings\, or at checkpoints during their displacement from north to south\, the report finds. The Israeli military does not usually explain publicly the basis for taking Palestinians into custody in Gaza\, although it has in some cases alleged affiliation with Palestinian armed groups or their political wings. Israel has also not provided information regarding the fate or whereabouts of many of those detained\, and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has been denied access to facilities where they are held. \nConditions in military-run detention facilities appear worse\, the report states\, adding children were among those held\, in some cases jointly with adults. Detainees said they were held in cage-like facilities\, stripped naked for prolonged periods\, wearing only diapers. Their testimonies told of prolonged blindfolding\, deprivation of food\, sleep and water\, and being subjected to electric shocks and being burnt with cigarettes. Some detainees said dogs were released on them\, and others said they were subjected to waterboarding\, or that their hands were tied and they were suspended from the ceiling. Some women and men also spoke of sexual and gender-based violence. Accounts of hostages taken by Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups last October also described appalling conditions of captivity\, including lack of food\, water and poor sanitary conditions\, and lack of fresh air and sunlight. \nSome described being beaten while being taken into Gaza\, or seeing other hostages being beaten while in captivity; receiving surgery or stitches without anaesthetic. There were also reports of sexual and gender-based violence in captivity. In addition\, the report criticises the Palestinian Authority for continuing to carry out arbitrary detention and torture or other ill-treatment in the West Bank\, reportedly principally to suppress criticism and political opposition. The High Commissioner reiterated his call for the immediate release of all hostages still held in Gaza. All Palestinians arbitrarily detained by Israel must be released. He also called for prompt\, thorough\, independent\, impartial and transparent investigations into all incidents that have led to serious violations of international law; ensure that perpetrators are held accountable and that all victims and their families are provided with their right to remedy and reparations. \nLinks:\nUN report: Palestinian detainees held arbitrarily and secretly\, subjected to torture and mistreatment \nVN-Rapport: waterboarding en honden ingezet tegen Palestijnse gevangen

SUMMARY:#HumanTrafficking #EndHumanTrafficking World Day Against Trafficking in Persons / Werelddag tegen Mensenhandel 2024
DESCRIPTION:Human trafficking is a crime that exploits children\, men and women for numerous purposes including forced labour and sex. \nTrafficking in persons is a serious crime and a grave violation of human rights. Every year\, thousands of men\, women and children fall into the hands of traffickers\, in their own countries and abroad. Almost every country in the world is affected by trafficking\, whether as a country of origin\, transit or destination for victims. UNODC\, as guardian of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC) and the Protocols thereto\, assists States in their efforts to implement the Protocol to Prevent\, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons (Trafficking in Persons Protocol). The Protocol to Prevent\, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons defines Trafficking in Persons as the recruitment\, transportation\, transfer\, harbouring or receipt of persons\, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion\, of abduction\, of fraud\, of deception\, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person\, for the purpose of exploitation. Exploitation shall include\, at a minimum\, the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation\, forced labour or services\, slavery or practices similar to slavery\, servitude or the removal of organs. The World Day against Trafficking in Persons was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly\, in its resolution A/RES/68/192.

SUMMARY:One Name\, Two Lists - publication
DESCRIPTION:How reliable are the death tolls from the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza? \nIt has been one of the enduring questions of the war\, with the MoH producing the widely used figure of more than 38\,000 Palestinians killed to date. Israeli officials have repeatedly disputed the civilian toll – highlighting the MoH’s Hamas connections and publicly claiming its numbers are false. US President Joe Biden also initially said he had “no confidence” in the death tolls. In response\, the ministry has periodically released lists of names and IDs of Palestinians killed. In the largest and most in-depth public analysis of the MoH data yet\, Airwars used open source monitoring to independently identify nearly 3\,000 full names of civilian victims killed in the first 17 days of the war. Every name is listed below\, linked to individual reports detailing where and how they died. Where possible the reports include personal stories of lives lost. By comparing those victims’ names with the first list produced by the MoH\, this investigation found a high correlation between the official MoH data and what Palestinian civilians reported online – with 75% of publicly reported names also appearing on the MoH list. The research only relates to the initial weeks of the war – and evidence suggests the MoH figures have become less accurate as Gaza’s health infrastructure has been decimated by the war. Yet it adds to the growing consensus that the MoH figures are broadly reliable\, while strengthening trust that Palestinians posting on social media are not exaggerating the civilian toll\, said Mike Spagat\, a professor specialised in casualty figures at Royal Holloway\, University of London and chair of Every Casualty Counts. \nLinks:\nOne Name\, Two Lists \nEen zeer indringend stuk van Simon van Teutem over de inmiddels meer dan 39.000 dodelijke slachtoffers van de oorlog in Gaza \nOnderzoek geeft duizenden Palestijnse burgerdoden namen en gezichten \nDe levens achter de ruim 40.000 doden in Gaza

SUMMARY:Israël gebruikt watergebrek als oorlogswapen in Gaza / Oxfam rapport Water War Crimes - publicatie / publication
DESCRIPTION:Door het afsluiten van de watertoevoer naar Gaza door Israël\, de systematische vernietiging van watervoorzieningen in Gaza en het opzettelijk tegenhouden van hulp om de watervoorzieningen te herstellen\, is het beschikbare water in Gaza met 94% afgenomen. \nPer persoon is er nog maar 4\,74 liter per dag beschikbaar om te drinken\, te wassen of te koken. Deze hoeveelheid is minder dan een derde van de aanbevolen 15 liter per persoon per dag als minimum in noodsituaties. Dit blijkt vandaag uit het nieuwe Oxfam-rapport Water War Crimes: Sinds het begin van de oorlog op 7 oktober 2023 vernietigen Israëlische militaire aanvallen elke drie dagen vijf locaties van de water- en sanitaire infrastructuur in Gaza. Sinds 26 mei 2024 is de waterproductie in Gaza met 84% gedaald als gevolg van de vernietiging van de waterinfrastructuur en invoerbeperkingen voor brandstof\, elektriciteit en reserveonderdelen voor water en sanitaire voorzieningen in Gaza. De externe leveringen van het Israëlische nationale waterbedrijf Mekorot aan Gaza daalden met 78%. Israël heeft 70% van alle rioolpompen en 100% van alle afvalwaterzuiveringsinstallaties vernietigd\, evenals de belangrijkste laboratoria voor het testen van de waterkwaliteit in Gaza. Ook heeft Israël de levering van watertestapparatuur door Oxfam naar Gaza ingeperkt. Gaza Stad is bijna al haar waterproductiecapaciteit verloren: 88% van de waterputten en 100% van de ontziltingsinstallaties zijn beschadigd of vernietigd. Oxfam Novib roept op tot een onmiddellijk en permanent staakt-het-vuren door alle strijdende partijen en vrijlating van alle gegijzelden; moet Israël de levering van noodhulp mogelijk maken en faciliteren\, en dient Israël – als bezettende macht – de kosten voor de wederopbouw van de water en sanitair-infrastructuur in Gaza te betalen. \nLinks:\nIsraël gebruikt watergebrek als oorlogswapen in Gaza

DESCRIPTION:According to the Italian Competition Authority\, in some cases the companies may have used supplies from laboratories employing workers who would receive inadequate wages and they would work hours in excess of the legal limits and in inadequate health and safety conditions\, in contrast to the boasted levels of production excellence. \nThe Italian Competition Authority\, also as a result of the activity carried out by the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Court of Milan which has been widely published by the press\, has opened investigation proceedings against some companies in Armani Group (Giorgio Armani S.p.A. e G.A. Operations S.p.A.)\, and separate investigation proceedings against some companies in Dior Group (Christian Dior Couture S.A.\, Christian Dior Italia S.r.l. e Manufactures Dior S.r.l.) for possible unlawful conducts in the promotion and sale of clothes’ items and accessories\, in violation of the provisions of the Consumer Code. In both cases\, the companies may have issued untrue statements about their ethics and social responsibility\, in particular with regard to working conditions and compliance with the law by their suppliers. Moreover\, the companies emphasised craftsmanship and quality. However\, in order to make certain articles and clothing accessories the companies allegedly used supplies from workshops and factories employing workers who would receive inadequate wages. In addition\, such workers would work hours in excess of the legal limits and in inadequate health and safety conditions\, in contrast to the production excellence levels the companies pride themselves. Authority’s officials\, with the support of the Special Antitrust Unit of the Italian Financial Police (Guardia di Finanza)\, carried out inspections at the premises of the companies Giorgio Armani S.p.A. and G.A.

SUMMARY:#SkillsRightNow #WorldYouthSkillsDay Wereld Jonge Talentendag / Werelddag van Vaardigheden van Jongeren 2024
DESCRIPTION:In 2014\, the United Nations General Assembly declared 15 July as World Youth Skills Day\, to celebrate the strategic importance of equipping young people with skills for employment\, decent work and entrepreneurship. \nSince then\, World Youth Skills Day events have provided a unique opportunity for dialogue between young people\, technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions\, firms\, employers’ and workers’ organizations\, policy makers and development partners. Participants have highlighted the ever-increasing significance of skills as the world is embarking on a transition towards a sustainable model of development. Education and training are central to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda. The vision of the Incheon Declaration: Education 2030 is fully captured by Sustainable Development Goal 4 “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”. Education 2030 devotes considerable attention to technical and vocational skills development\, specifically regarding access to affordable quality. \nTechnical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET); the acquisition of technical and vocational skills for employment\, decent work and entrepreneurship; the elimination of gender disparity and ensuring access for the vulnerable. In this context\, TVET is expected to address the multiple demands of an economic\, social and environmental nature by helping youth and adults develop the skills they need for employment\, decent work and entrepreneurship\, promoting equitable\, inclusive and sustainable economic growth\, and supporting transitions to green economies and environmental sustainability. \nTVET can equip youth with the skills required to access the world of work\, including skills for self-employment. TVET can also improve responsiveness to changing skill-demands by companies and communities\, increase productivity and increase wage levels. TVET can reduce access barriers to the world of work\, for example through work-based learning\, and ensuring that skills gained are recognised and certified. TVET can also offer skills development opportunities for low-skilled people who are under- or unemployed\, out of school youth and individuals not in education\, employment and training (NEETs). World Youth Skills Day 2021 will again take place in a challenging context due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. World Youth Skills Day 2021 will pay tribute to the resilience and creativity of youth through the crisis. Participants will take stock of how TVET systems have adapted to the pandemic and recession\, think of how those systems can participate in the recovery\, and imagine priorities they should adopt for the post-COVID-19-world. \n \nLinks:\nWorld Youth Skills Day

SUMMARY:‘On this journey\, no one cares if you live or die’ Abuse\, protection and justice along routes between East and West Africa and Africa’s Mediterranean Coast: A route-based perspective on key risks Volume 2 – publication
DESCRIPTION:The mixed movement of refugees and migrants on the African continent is often reduced to its more\nmediatized aspect – the perilous crossings of the Mediterranean Sea to Europe. \nWhile some of the movements take root in North Africa\, many include multiple legs through several countries in an attempt to reach safety and/or better opportunities. The protection risks and extreme forms of violence and exploitation refugees and migrants are confronted with on land are much less documented. The International Organization for Migration (IOM)\, the Mixed Migration Centre (MMC) and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) decided to work together to map them out and have an updated and more precise understanding of where these risks and different forms of violence are perceived to be more acute and who are reported to be the perpetrators. To do so\, many different sources of information were employed including 4Mi interviews with over 31\,000 refugees and migrants between 2020 and 2023 by the MMC\, the Missing Migrants Project and Counter Trafficking Data Collaborative of IOM\, and UNHCR Protection Monitoring. \nThe first edition of this report issued in 2020 uncovered patterns of widespread human rights violations and abuses along the routes from East and Horn of Africa and West Africa to North Africa. It highlighted the gap between smugglers’ narratives and the dramatic realities people faced on these dangerous journeys\, where human life is just the mere subject of a commercial transaction. It provided clear data for States and their partners to enable them to design routes-based solutions and move services and prevention/response mechanisms to where protection problems occurred. Unfortunately\, three years later\, the findings of the first report are reconfirmed and in some places surpassed. As the data suggest\, the risks and the list of unimaginable horrors people face in some countries along the route have not disappeared\, on the contrary. New conflicts erupted in the Sahel\, bringing the displaced population to almost 5 million\, double from the time of the previous report. In the East and Horn of Africa\, droughts and floods generated by climate change are having a dramatic impact on new and protracted emergencies\, while the number of displaced people due to the conflict in the Sudan reached 8.8 million as of May 2024. \nThe deteriorating situation in many countries of origin and host countries is leading an increased number of individuals to embark on dangerous onward journeys towards the southern shores of the Mediterranean Sea\, with many of them ending up in extremely vulnerable situations. While there are no comprehensive statistics on land arrivals across the many countries of transit and initial destination\, evidence points to an increased number of refugees and migrants moving to North Africa. In Tunisia for instance\, UNHCR registered 209 per cent more refugees and asylum-seekers in 2023 than it did in 2020. During this post-COVID period\, the presence of refugees and migrants in a number of countries was also politically instrumentalized\, leading to more visible expressions of racism\, generating protection incidents and fear among refugees and migrants and consequent onward dangerous movements\, including across the Mediterranean Sea. \nDespite some progress\, this second report “On this journey\, no one cares if you live or die’ Abuse\, protection and justice along routes between East and West Africa and Africa’s Mediterranean Coast: A route-based perspective on key risks” suggests a degraded protection environment along the Central Mediterranean routes with insufficient protection-centred responses. Unfortunately\, experience has taught us that increased risks will not prevent refugees and migrants from moving irregularly. The increased risks will continue to be downplayed by smugglers and traffickers\, and people will resort to what they think might be the most effective individual risk mitigation strategy. As a young Somali refugee named Saeed said: “They [the smugglers] lie to the youth. They have workers everywhere and make tahriib [the journey to Europe] look easy […]\, but you will wake up when you face the dangers.” \nSadly\, this second version of the report may not be the last documenting violations and abuses of human rights of refugees and migrants along these routes. Critical protection safety nets remain lacking in key areas as highlighted by the second iteration of a report mapping protection services along the routes that will be published in 2024. In addition\, many interlocutors have become accustomed to the prevalence of protection risks\, abuses and the inexorable erosion of hope\, as if nothing can be attempted to address them. A dangerous sense of resignation has paralysed States-led response along these routes despite the commitment to save lives and address vulnerabilities they have assumed under international law and other instruments\, such as the Global Compact on Refugees and the Global Compact for Safe\, Orderly and Regular Migration. \nAs data depend on access to refugees and migrants\, gaps exist for some locations\, especially for the Sahara Desert\, and may distort part of the analysis. However\, many ultimately move out from these out-of-reach places and tell their story. They include the tens of thousands of refugees and migrants who told their stories upon which this report is based. Accordingly\, we will no longer be able to say that we did not know about the extreme and unacceptable forms of violence they face. We hope\, and expect\, that this report will help to inform increased and concrete routes-based protection responses to reduce the suffering associated with the desperate journeys refugees and migrants undertake. We also hope it will generate a push to address the root causes of displacement and drivers of irregular migration through positive action on peace\, climate change\, governance\, inequality and social cohesion\, as well as the creation of safe migration pathways. We should never accept or get used to the horrors experienced by refugees and migrants nor leave unquestioned the significance of the grossly negative human rights indicators emerging from the countries where violations and abuses occur. These violations and abuses will continue to represent a stain on our collective conscience that we cannot afford to ignore. \nLinks:\nDe reis van migranten: woestijn twee keer dodelijker dan zee

SUMMARY:Sonya Massey shooting / VS: Politieagent schiet zwarte vrouw dood
DESCRIPTION:On July 6\, 2024\, Sonya Massey\, a 36-year-old Black American woman\, was shot and killed in her home by a deputy of the Sangamon County Sheriff’s Office in Springfield\, Illinois. \nThe shooting followed a 911 call that Massey herself placed in reference to a “prowler.” After (now former) deputy Sean Grayson\, the shooter\, and another unidentified deputy entered Massey’s home following a search of the immediate vicinity\, the three engaged in brief conversation surrounding Massey’s driver’s license and a vehicle in her driveway. After Grayson directed Massey to check on the boiling pot of water on her stove\, the exchange quickly escalated\, both deputies drew their service pistols\, and Grayson shot Massey three times\, killing her. Following the shooting\, Grayson was fired from the Sangamon County Sheriff’s office and charged with three counts of first-degree murder\, among other charges. \nLinks:\nVideo shows Illinois police fatally shoot woman in her home \nAgent schiet zwarte vrouw dood: beelden ‘schokken heel Amerika’ \nList of unarmed African Americans killed by law enforcement officers in the United States \nDood van George Floyd / Death of George Floyd (2020)

SUMMARY:Niet meer\, maar schoner water nodig in strijd tegen waterschaarste / Water quality management could halve future water scarcity cost-effectively in the Pearl River Basin - publicatie / publication
DESCRIPTION:Waterschaarste wordt wereldwijd een steeds groter probleem\, de benadering van een internationaal team van onderzoekers focust op de kwaliteit van water eerder dan enkel de kwantiteit\, dat belooft een aanzienlijke vermindering van de waterschaarste in de toekomst. \n\nMeer dan de helft van de wereldbevolking leeft in gebieden waar water beperkt is of te vervuild om veilig te consumeren. De vraag is op die plekken vaak groter dan het aanbod\, en dat stelt de internationale gemeenschap voor uitdagingen en leidt tot economische risico’s in de sectoren die veel water nodig hebben zoals energie\, landbouw\, gewone gezinnen en de industrie. Het probleem van de watervervuiling – zoals bijvoorbeeld verhoogde stikstofniveaus – kan dan weer leiden tot ernstige gezondheidsproblemen. Het beheer van bestaande waterbronnen op een duurzame manier is daarom cruciaal en daar kan de digitale transformatie een verschil maken. Nieuwe technologieën zoals slimme irrigatie en sensoren op afstand maken monitoring en efficiënter watergebruik mogelijk. Maar er zijn nog steeds hiaten in de financiering voor zulke technologische hoogstandjes: volgens het World Economic Forum ontvangt de watersector minder dan 1 procent van de investeringen in klimaattechnologie. De uitdaging ligt in het effectief beperken van waterschaarste en het garanderen van voldoende water van goede kwaliteit om duurzame ontwikkeling mogelijk te maken volgens Taher Kahil\, leider van een onderzoeksgroep over waterveiligheid bij The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA). Hun aanpak introduceert een nieuw model om de effecten van zaken zoals klimaatverandering en menselijke activiteiten op het land op een specifieke manier te benaderen. Hun onderzoek in Nature Communications benadrukt dat er tot nu toe te veel werd gekeken naar de waterkwantiteit in plaats van naar de kwaliteit. Ze keken voor hun onderzoek naar het bekken van de Parelrivier in China\, een gebied dat sterk onder druk staat door zowel waterschaarste als vervuiling. De resultaten laten zien dat de toekomstige waterschaarste in 2050 naar verwachting met een factor vier zal toenemen in de meeste delen van de Parelrivier\, in een scenario met hoge economische ontwikkeling en opwarming van de aarde. Als er maatregelen worden genomen voor een beter beheer van de waterkwaliteit\, kan dat de  toekomstige waterschaarste in het rivierbekken halveren. \nLinks:\nNiet meer\, maar schoner water nodig in strijd tegen waterschaarste

SUMMARY:Het Buitenspeelalarm 03-07-2024
DESCRIPTION:Jantje Beton\, een organisatie die zich inzet voor jeugdvoorzieningen in Nederland\, organiseert de campagne ‘Het Buitenspeelalarm’ op iedere eerste woensdag van de maand. \nHiermee wil Jantje Beton wij een krachtig signaal afgeven tegen de dreigende ‘binnenzitgeneratie’. Niet buitenspelen zorgt namelijk voor meer overgewicht\, slechtziendheid\, depressiviteit en slapeloosheid onder kinderen. Dit moet veranderen! Méér dan 400.000 kinderen in Nederland spelen nooit buiten. Er ontstaat een hele generatie aan binnenzitters. Dat is niet gezond. Jantje Beton maakt zich grote zorgen en slaat alarm! Vind jij buitenspelen ook superbelangrijk? Meld je dan aan voor het Buitenspeelalarm. Iedere eerste woensdag van de maand ontvang jij een extra herinnering om samen met je kind naar buiten te gaan of je kind naar buiten te sturen! Het alarm is niet alleen een melding\, maar je ontvangt ook leuke tips\, speelplekken en allerlei andere zaken om lekker naar buiten te gaan! \nLinks:\nHet Buitenspeelalarm

SUMMARY:#KetiKoti #Slavernij afgeschaft in NL (1863) / Dag der Vrijheden / Emancipation Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:De vrijmaking van slavernij wordt jaarlijks op 1 juli gevierd als KetiKoti (ketenen verbroken)\, voorafgaand aan deze dag wordt in juni de KetiKoti-maand gehouden\, waarin aandacht wordt gevraagd voor het slavernijverleden. \nSlavernij of lijfeigenschap is een vorm van onvrijwillige dienst waarin een persoon wordt behandeld als het eigendom van een ander persoon. De persoon die het bezit is\, wordt slaaf genoemd\, naar het Balkanvolk (Slavische volkeren) dat na de oudheid eeuwenlang de belangrijkste leverancier was van slaven. Op 1 juli 1863\, dertig jaar na het voorbeeld van de Britten\, klonken 21 kanonschoten in Paramaribo en werden de slaven vrije mensen. Het zou nog 10 jaar (1873) duren voor de slavernij daadwerkelijk in de praktijk werd afgeschaft. De Nederlandse regering betaalde een schadevergoeding van 300 gulden per slaaf aan de eigenaars ter compensatie voor het verloren eigendom. Slavenhouders maakten vlak voor de afschaffing extra jacht op weglopers om zoveel mogelijk compensatiegeld op te strijken. Slavernij komt nog steeds op veel plekken in de wereld voor\, hoewel het vrijwel overal illegaal is. Naar schatting 100 miljoen mensen leven nog in een situatie waarin ze gedwongen worden tewerkgesteld. \nLinks:\nKeti Koti Festival \nNiNsee \nHerdenkingsjaar Slavernijverleden\n\n2020-06-10\, Lief dagboek – Black Lives Matter \nJuneteenth \nIk zet een stap / Dialoogsessies Slavernijverleden \nAdvies Dialooggroep Slavernijverleden ‘Ketenen van het Verleden’ \nHalsema biedt excuses aan voor slavernijverleden \nExcuses voor het slavernijverleden van Amsterdam \n1 juli moet een feest en herdenkingsdag worden! – petitie / Ik neem vrij op 1 juli (en roep mijn werkgever op dit ook te doen)! / #1JuliVrij 1 juli vrij-campagne1 juli vrij-campagne \nPetitie: Martin Bosma (PVV) NIET welkom tijdens Herdenking Slavernijverleden op 1 juli \nPROTESTBRIEF | Martin Bosma (PVV) NIET welkom tijdens Herdenking Slavernijverleden op 1 juli 2024 \nKamervoorzitter Bosma niet bij slavernijherdenking\, uitnodiging ingetrokken  \nDit slavernijmonument reist deze week door het Zeeuwse Walcheren \nLiveblog Keti Koti – AT5

SUMMARY:Stonewall-rellen / Stonewall riots / Stonewall Uprising (1969) - herdenking 2024
DESCRIPTION:De Stonewall-rellen (Stonewall riots) vonden eind juni 1969 plaats in de wijk Greenwich Village in New York bij de ontruiming van de homobar Stonewall Inn door de Metropolitan Police. \nNa jaren van treiterijen en geweldplegingen door de politie besloot het bezoekende publiek van mensen binnen de lgbt-gemeenschap terug te vechten. Deze opstand vormt een scheidslijn in de geschiedenis van de holebi-beweging\, daar nooit eerder homo’s en travestieten in zulke grote aantallen hardhandig weerstand boden tegen de op hun gemeenschap gerichte vernederingen door de politie. De optochten die ter herdenking van deze rellen gehouden werden kregen als Gay Pride Parades wereldwijd navolging en in de VS werd juni de Pride-maand. In 2013 noemde president Barack Obama Stonewall in zijn inaugurale toespraak als een van de belangrijke momenten in de strijd voor gelijke rechten. \nLinks:\nStonewall: A riot that changed millions of lives \nStonewall Veterans Association \nStonewall Uprising – PBS

SUMMARY:Uitgesloten: Palestijnen in de Nederlandse asielprocedure - publicatie
DESCRIPTION:Het is voor Palestijnse vluchtelingen moeilijk om een veilige toekomst op te bouwen; in Gaza\, in landen in de regio én in Nederland. \nIn het rapport Uitgesloten van VluchtelingenWerk wordt ingegaan op de muren waar zij tegenaan lopen in de Nederlandse asielprocedure en draagt VluchtelingenWerk oplossingen aan. De asielprocedure voor Palestijnen in Nederland is onnodig ingewikkeld gemaakt. Dat komt door internationale\, maar ook nationale keuzes. Met de wijziging van het landenbeleid wordt het Vluchtelingenverdrag beter toegepast en wordt erkend dat de situatie in Gaza zo onveilig is dat alle Palestijnen die daar vandaan komen bescherming nodig hebben. Maar er zitten meer knelpunten in het beleid\, zoals: \n1. Onvoldoende oog voor vervolging Palestijnen\nPalestijnen uit Gaza en de Westelijke Jordaanoever zijn nog altijd niet aangemerkt als bijzondere groep in het landenbeleid. Nederland heeft daarmee nog altijd onvoldoende oog voor de daadwerkelijke vervolging van Palestijnen door de Israëlische autoriteiten. Uit de landeninformatie blijkt echter dat de grote willekeur in de behandeling\, de zware beperkingen in de bewegingsvrijheid en de slechte mensenrechtensituatie daar specifiek van toepassing zijn op Palestijnen. Discriminerende maatregelen tegen de Palestijnen\, zoals bijvoorbeeld de inbeslagname van land of de ontzegging van toegang tot voorzieningen\, kunnen tot vervolging in de zin van het Vluchtelingenverdrag leiden als deze ernstig van aard zijn. \nOplossing: benoem Palestijnen uit Gaza en de Westbank als risicoprofiel. Hiermee wordt recht gedaan aan de zeer kwetsbare positie van Palestijnen in alle bezette Palestijnse gebieden. \n2. Een bureaucratische impasse\nNederland erkent de Palestijnse staat niet en daarmee ook de Palestijnse nationaliteit niet. Zonder erkende nationaliteit is het zeer moeilijk om in aanmerking te komen voor asiel. Hun asielaanvraag wordt getoetst aan een land waar zij hebben verbleven\, maar niet dezelfde rechten hebben als daadwerkelijke onderdanen. Terwijl zij in veel landen door hun kwetsbare positie geen bescherming kunnen krijgen van de lokale autoriteiten\, kan hun asielaanvraag toch worden afgewezen op basis van de algemene veiligheidssituatie. \nOplossing: Houd bij de beoordeling van Palestijnse asielaanvragen expliciet rekening met de kwetsbare positie als niet-onderdaan in het land waar zij hebben verbleven. \n3. Terugsturen naar dichte grenzen\nBij de beoordeling van Palestijnse asielaanvragen wordt niet gekeken naar het verblijfsrecht in het land waar zij hebben verbleven en weegt ook de vraag of het mogelijk is om terug te keren niet mee. Afgewezen Palestijnen terugsturen naar landen waar zij geen verblijfsrecht hebben is zo goed als onmogelijk. Hierdoor komen zij vaak in slopende\, uitzichtloze procedures terecht. \nOplossing: Weeg problemen met toegang en toelating tot een land mee in de beoordeling van Palestijnse asielaanvragen. \nLinks:\nNieuw beleid Palestijnse gebieden: grote stap vooruit\, maar er is meer nodig

SUMMARY:World Day in Support of Victims of Torture / Werelddag voor steun aan slachtoffers van foltering 2024
DESCRIPTION:Torture seeks to annihilate the victim’s personality and denies the inherent dignity of the human being.\n\nDespite the absolute prohibition of torture under international law\, torture persist in all regions of the world. Concerns about protecting national security and borders are increasingly used to allow torture and other forms of cruel\, degrading and inhuman treatment. Its pervasive consequences often go beyond the isolated act on an individual; and can be transmitted through generations and lead to cycles of violence. The United Nations has condemned torture from the outset as one of the vilest acts perpetrated by human beings on their fellow human beings. Torture is a crime under international law. According to all relevant instruments\, it is absolutely prohibited and cannot be justified under any circumstances. This prohibition forms part of customary international law\, which means that it is binding on every member of the international community\, regardless of whether a State has ratified international treaties in which torture is expressly prohibited. The systematic or widespread practice of torture constitutes a crime against humanity. On 12 December 1997\, by resolution 52/149\, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 26 June the United Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture\, with a view to the total eradication of torture and the effective functioning of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel\, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. 26 June is an opportunity to call on all stakeholders including UN Member States\, civil society and individuals everywhere to unite in support of the hundreds of thousands of people around the world who have been victims of torture and those who are still tortured today. \nLinks:\nDay in Support of Victims of Torture – 26 June\n \nInternational Day in Support of Victims of Torture\, 26 June \n26 June Virtual Brochure
