UNITED NATIONS, Oct 9 2006 (IPS) – A 113-page landmark U.N. study on gender violence says women continue to be victims of sexual harassment, human trafficking and blatant discrimination worldwide.
Violence against women persists in every country in the world as a pervasive violation of human rights and a major impediment to achieving gender equality, says the first-ever in-depth report on gender violence released Monday by U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
Such violence is unacceptable whether perpetrated by the state and its agents or by family members or strangers, in the public or private sphere, in peacetime or in times of conflict.
The study, which is critical of U.N. member states that have failed to adopt laws criminalising violence again…

UNITED NATIONS, Nov 13 2006 (IPS) – When mortars and rockets fall silent in the world s battle zones, the killings do not necessarily end with ceasefires and peace talks.
The reason? Myriads of unexploded ordnance including deadly cluster bombs, booby traps and anti-personnel landmines left behind by warring parties.
According to the United Nations, up to one million pieces of unexploded ordnance are leftovers from the war in southern Lebanon last August. And, so far, more than 58,000 cluster bomblets have been cleared and destroyed.
The death toll from cluster munitions more than three months after the conflict is 22, six of them children, while 134 injuries have been reported from all types of unexploded ordnance.
Wars do not always end …

DADELDHURA, Dec 10 2006 (IPS) – While women in the capital Kathmandu fight for representation on the political bodies designing the new Nepal , in the remote western region Bhakti Oli has just claimed her right to health care after more than 35 years.
It was after her third child was born at her home in Ganeshpur village that Oli suffered a uterine prolapse. Everything came out, she says at a mobile health camp where she has finally sought treatment. Everybody knew it but there was no hospital so I put it back in myself.
Oli, 65, has just had a pessary ring inserted in her vagina to stop her uterus from descending. Suffering from third degree prolapse, the most severe form, she might have been a candidate for surgery to remove the uterus, but a doctor at …

BANGKOK, Jan 29 2007 (IPS) – International health experts are warning Burma s neighbours that they face more threats from the spread of HIV along the porous borders that they share with the military-ruled country.
The record number of HIV cases in two of India s north-eastern provinces that have Burma as a neighbour offers a troubling sign of what lies ahead, says Dr. Tom Lee, co-director of the Global Health Access Programme (GHAP), based in Los Angeles. Nagaland and Manipur are two states with the highest HIV prevalence rates in India. It is eight percent among women tested at clinics along the border, while it is normally 1 to 2 percent across the rest of the area.
China is also facing a similar crisis along the stretches where its shares Burm…

SANTO DOMINGO, Feb 21 2007 (IPS) – Lack of vitamin A is associated with the deaths of 350 people a year in the Dominican Republic, where some 400 babies are born annually with brain and spinal cord defects caused by folic acid deficiency, according to official statistics. In addition, many women are at risk of serious complications during childbirth due to iron deficiency anaemia.
On Feb. 15 the Public Health Ministry, with the cooperation of international organisations, launched a national food fortification programme aimed at dramatically reducing the rates of iron and vitamin A deficiency in women and children.
The project will enable all wheat flour milled for human consumption to be fortified with iron, folic acid and other B-complex vitamins, whil…

BUDAPEST, Apr 2 2007 (IPS) – Hungary s plans to host a NATO radar are being met with stiff resistance by locals who cite health and environmental fears. But their municipal representatives are seemingly yielding to government pressure.
The radar station is to be built in Southern Transdanubia, on a site called Tübes Hill.
The radar would be integrated into the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) early warning defence system. NATO officially says it is indifferent to the exact location, as long as Hungary fulfils its obligations as a member state.
Citizen groups are warning that the radar and the radiation it produces will endanger nearby natural habitats, human health and the water supply, and hurt tourism.
The planned radar was …
