  Description:    Fatmata Caulker Background about the case: Fatmata Caulker, a two and half year old child of Hendebu village went missing on the 5th of October 2008 in the Kori Chiefdom of Moyamba District, Southern part of Sierra Leone. According to the parents of the victim, Wilfred Caulker and Mami Caulker, the child was playing around the neighborhood and eventually got lost. The victim Fatmata Caulker was in an unknown location for three days. After several searches the victim remains undiscovered. With worries and stress, the parents made an official report to the village head man Mr. Mohamed Swaray and the matter was reported to the Section Chief from where they were asked to make a police report, eventually, an official report was made about the missing of the child at the Taiama police station from which statements were obtained from both the father and the mother of the victim. However, the village headman and the Section Chief hired the service of a native doctor to find the missing child. Mr. Ndovah who was hired as the native doctor gave his consent to find the child, and in the process the child was surprisingly located in an isolated bush striped naked with a small hoe hanging on her soldier and roots in her hands, a small wound on her forehead and arm was also discovered. The child was brought to the village and the perpetrator of this act “Sundima” was named by the native doctor who later attests to the fact that he was responsible for the act. The matter was taken to the police station were the alleged perpetrator was interrogated and statement was obtained from him and both his wife and daughter in the Taiama police station and the matter was later taken to the Moyamba police station being the District headquarter were both the parents of the victim and the alleged perpetrator and family was taken. After several investigations into the matter Fatmata Caulker was denied access to justice and the police commander dismissed the alleged perpetrator and the matter was left unabated, the parents of the victim became unsatisfactory and worried about the life of their child who has taken three days in the bush and need an assurance of their child’s life. Recent Abnormalities about the victim • Always scared to associate with other people except his parents, she is afraid to see the face of a man. • Fatmata Caulker convulses once on awhile and no medical attention had been given to her since the act was done. • Her psychological perception about relating with people has changed. Recent update. Conscience international have visited the home of the victim and have discovered detail information about the kidnapped child from the parents and local neighborhood. The matter is under investigation in collaboration with the Sierra Leone human right commission. Conscience International Sierra Leone is calling on all Human rights defenders and well wishers to fight and restore justice, liberty and dignity for Fatmata Caulker. Your assistance in any form will be appreciated to help rebuilding the already dilapidated psychological perception of this young child.

  Description:    Romanian version. The SCREAM programme offers a unique opportunity to engage a wide range of community actors and organizations in the promotion of social justice and universally recognized human and labour rights. http://www.ilo.org/ipec/Campaignandadvocacy/Scream/index.htm Munca copiilor este o form\ de exploatare a celor mai vulnerabili membri ai societ\]ii – copiii. Se [tie c\ exist\ în lume peste 246 de milioane de copii sub vârsta de 18 ani care muncesc. Aproape trei sferturi dintre ace[tia – aproape 180 de milioane – muncesc în condi]ii periculoase, care le pun via]a în pericol. Mul]i sunt priva]i de educa]ie [i sunt expu[i unor abuzuri fizice, sexuale [i afective. Unii dintre ei ajung s\ dobândeasc\ handicapuri fizice sau chiar s\ moar\ înainte de a deveni adul]i ca o consecin]\ direct\ a muncii lor. Al]ii r\mân cu grave traume afective pentru toat\ via]a. Pentru mul]i, munca copiilor este un fenomen invizibil, fie pentru c\ ace[tia au ocupa]ii ascunse, cum ar fi muncile în gospod\rie [i prostitu]ia, fie pentru c\ societatea este mult prea dispus\ s\ închid\ ochii. Prin m\rirea vizibilit\]ii copiilor care muncesc, societatea se va putea dezb\ra de atitudinea indiferent\ pe care o are fa]\ de situa]ia dificil\ a acestor copii. Prin intermediul Programului Interna]ional pentru Eliminarea Muncii Copiilor (IPEC), Organiza]ia Interna]ional\ a Muncii (OIM) este vârful de lance al luptei duse pe plan interna]ional pentru eliminarea muncii copiilor. Deoarece cauzele muncii copiilor sunt complexe [i multiple, problema trebuie s\ fie atacat\ pe mai multe fronturi, prin ratificarea [i aplicarea conven]iilor interna]ionale, derularea unor programe practice pe teren [i mobilizarea factorilor esen]iali din cadrul societ\]ii. Tinerii, în mod deosebit, au un rol important de jucat în promovarea con[tientiz\rii problemelor privind justi]ia social\ [i exercitarea unei influen]e asupra comunit\]ilor în sensul promov\rii schimb\rilor sociale. De[i copiii, adolescen]ii [i tinerii reprezint\ o parte important\ a popula]iei lumii, ace[tia nu prea au un cuvânt de spus despre modul în care este condus\ lumea. Pân\ când ating vârsta adult\, îi model\m într-o asemenea m\sur\ dup\ propriul nostru mod de a gândi, vedea [i face lucrurile, încât ajung s\ piard\ definitiv propria perspectiv\ pre]ioas\. Ajutându-i pe tineri s\ se afirme, responsabilizându-i [i recunoscând valoarea contribu]iei lor, sper\m s\ putem valorifica bogata lor creativitate [i angajamentul pe care îl pot pune în serviciul campaniei pentru eliminarea muncii copiilor. Prin urmare, IPEC a lansat o nou\ ini]iativ\ în domeniul educa]iei [i mobiliz\rii sociale, “SCREAM Opri]i munca copiilor”, pentru a veni în ajutorul educatorilor din toat\ lumea în promovarea în]elegerii [i con[tientiz\rii problematicii muncii copiilor în rândul tinerilor [i al comunit\]ilor în general. SCREAM (]ip\t) este acronimul denumirii proiectului în limba englez\, Supporting Children’s Rights through Education, the Arts and the Media (Ap\rarea Drepturilor Copilului prin Educa]ie, Art\ [i Mass Media), reflectând în acela[i timp suferin]a t\cut\ a copiilor care muncesc [i necesitatea de a li se face auzit\ vocea. Prin metode didactice creative [i inovatoare, programul SCREAM vizeaz\ informarea tinerilor despre lumea în care tr\iesc [i nedrept\]ile din ea, punând accent pe munca copiilor, astfel încât ei s\ poat\ vorbi la rândul lor în numele copiilor care muncesc din lumea întreag\. Programul pune pe umerii tinerilor aceast\ r\spundere [i îi ajut\ s\ formuleze reac]iile corespunz\toare. SCREAM se inspir\ în mare m\sur\ din artele vizuale, literatur\ [i teatru. Teatrul este un instrument foarte puternic în ceea ce-i prive[te pe tineri. Teatrul vorbe[te un limbaj universal care trece peste toate barierele geografice [i culturale [i care a fost utilizat de-a lungul istoriei ca vehicul al criticii sociale. Prin urmare, programul promoveaz\ teatrul ca mijloc cu ajutorul c\ruia tinerii î[i pot explora sentimentele, le pot exprima [i î[i pot transmite mesajul întregii comunit\]i. Pentru a în]elege cu adev\rat calvarul cotidian prin care trec copiii care muncesc, oamenii trebuie s\ fie mi[ca]i în adâncul fiin]ei lor. Cu ajutorul [i îndrumarea corespunz\toare, tinerii pot dobândi deprinderile [i încrederea necesar\ pentru a crea [i monta propria lor pies\ de teatru, ]inând seama de propriul lor mediu cultural [i social [i folosind propria limb\ sau propriul dialect. Mul]i dintre partenerii no[tri împ\rt\[esc deja cu noi speran]a c\ programul SCREAM va ajunge s\ fie utilizat pe scar\ larg\ în întreaga lume. În numele lor [i al milioanelor de copii care continu\ s\ fie exploata]i prin munc\, recomand\m programul SCREAM tuturor statelor membre, autorit\]ilor [colare, organiza]iilor cadrelor didactice, organiza]iilor patronale [i sindicale, ONG-urilor [i organiza]iilor comunitare, educatorilor [i profesorilor, precum [i tuturor organiza]iilor [i persoanelor care au ocazia de a interac]iona cu tineri în orice context educativ. Pe m\sur\ ce va fi utilizat, programul se va îmbun\t\]i [i se va consolida tot mai mult. Prin urmare, haide]i s\-l utiliz\m!

SCREAM ¡Alto al trabajo infantil! Defensa de los derechos del niño a través de la educación, las artes y los medios de comunicación

  Description:   El trabajo infantil es sinónimo de explotación de los seres más vulnerables de nuestra sociedad: las niñas y los niños. Sabemos que en el mundo hay más de 245 millones de niñas y niños menores de 18 años que cada día van a trabajar. Aproximadamente las tres cuartas partes –casi 180 millones– lo hacen en condiciones peligrosas que ponen en peligro su vida. En muchos casos, se les priva de educación y son víctimas de vejaciones físicas, sexuales y emocionales. A raíz del trabajo que hacen, algunos quedarán discapacitados físicamente o perecerán antes de llegar a la edad adulta. Otros sufrirán de traumas emocionales por el resto de su vida. Para muchos, el trabajo infantil es un fenómeno invisible ya sea porque se oculta, como en el caso del servicio doméstico o la explotación sexual con fines comerciales, o bien, porque la sociedad está demasiado predispuesta a hacer como que no ve. Dar visibilidad a las niñas y los niños que trabajan contribuirá a que la sociedad deje de ser indiferente al drama que viven. A través del Programa Internacional para la Erradicación del Trabajo Infantil, conocido por la sigla en inglés IPEC, la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) está a la vanguardia de los esfuerzos mundiales para terminar con este problema. Dado que las causas del trabajo infantil son numerosas y complejas, tenemos que abordar la cuestión en diversos frentes que van de la ratificación y aplicación de los convenios y convenciones internacionales a programas prácticos en el terreno, pasando por la movilización de sectores clave de la sociedad. Los jóvenes, en particular, pueden desempeñar un papel importante para concienciar* sobre cuestiones relativas a la justicia social y ejercer su influencia en las comunidades, promoviendo el cambio social. Niñas, niños y adolescentes y jóvenes representan una proporción significativa de la población mundial, pero se les dan muy pocas oportunidades de decir lo que piensan acerca de cómo va el mundo. De ahí que cuando llegan a la edad adulta, les hayamos inculcado nuestra manera de ver, de pensar y de actuar, a tal punto, que la valiosa perspectiva que podían aportar ha caído en el olvido. Capacitando a los jóvenes, atribuyéndoles tareas y reconociendo el valor de su aporte, esperamos encauzar el acerbo de creatividad y el empeño que pueden aportar a la campaña por la erradicación del trabajo infantil. Habida cuenta de lo antedicho, el IPEC lanzó la iniciativa ¡Alto al trabajo infantil! Proyecto SCREAM de formación y movilización social, para ayudar a docentes de todo el mundo a instruir y concienciar a los jóvenes acerca del trabajo infantil. SCREAM es la sigla en inglés de Supporting Children's Rights through Education, the Arts and the Media (Defensa de los derechos del niño a través de la educación, las artes y los medios de comunicación) y también traduce el sufrimiento que soportan en silencio los niños que trabajan y a quienes hay que dar voz. Utilizando métodos pedagógicos creativos e innovadores, se pretende informar a los jóvenes sobre el mundo en el que viven y las injusticias que existen, haciendo hincapié en el trabajo infantil, para que ellos, a su vez, sean portavoces de las niñas y los niños que trabajan en todas partes del mundo. A través de este proyecto, se les asignan tareas y se les apoya en la búsqueda de intervenciones apropiadas. El Proyecto SCREAM se inspira en gran medida de las artes plásticas, el arte dramático y la redacción creativa. El arte dramático es una herramienta idónea para llegar a los jóvenes. Su lenguaje es universal y trasciende las fronteras geográficas y culturales. A través de los módulos Escenificación y Arte dramático, el Proyecto SCREAM promueve la interpretación como medio de que los jóvenes exploren sus sentimientos, los expresen, y transmitan su mensaje al resto de la comunidad. Para comprender cabalmente el horror cotidiano del trabajo infantil, hay que llegar a la fibra más profunda del ser humano. Si se les brinda ayuda y orientación, los jóvenes adquieren las competencias y la confianza necesarias para crear y representar una obra de teatro acorde con su contexto sociocultural y en su propio idioma o dialecto. Muchos de nuestros asociados comparten nuestra esperanza de que el Proyecto SCREAM se utilice ampliamente en todas partes del mundo. En su nombre y en nombre de los millones de niños que siguen siendo explotados en el trabajo, lo recomendamos a Estados Miembros, autoridades de educación, organizaciones de docentes, organizaciones de empleadores, organizaciones de trabajadores, ONG y organizaciones comunitarias, maestros y educadores, así como a toda persona u organización que tiene contacto con niñas y niños en un contexto educativo. El Proyecto SCREAM crecerá mejor y con mayor vigor gracias a su utilización, entonces, ¡usémoslo!

Stop female foeticide & infanticide

Submitted By:   Anupreet
Committers:  22
Date Created:  2008-04-10

Description: Female foeticide is an extreme manifestation of violence against women. Female foetuses are selectively aborted after pre-natal sex determination, thus avoiding the birth of girls.Girl children are undesirable in many regions of the world. In fact, due to the high occurrence of foeticides, infanticides, including newborn neglect and abandonment, the world is currently deprived of over 100 million women. China and India alone are responsible for 80 million missing females. Let us pledge to put an end to this cruel practice, for girls have the right to life!
