バングラデシュでは、若い女性の多くが、主に貧困や貧困関連の理由で学校に通えなくなっている。しかし、学校に通い続けたいという強い気持ちが、この数年間でこうした状況に変化をもたらしつつある。
家父長制の慣行と、農村地帯の概して貧しい家庭では女の子が学校に通ったり仕事に出たりする必要はないとの旧来からの考え方があるにもかかわらず、バングラデシュの多くの地域で、若い女性たちが、そうした伝統に抗することが実際にはいかに自分たちの生活のためになるのかを証明してきた。
能力構築や職業技能の開発を呼びかけ、社会の主流から取り残された集団に属する人々によりよい生活の機会を提供する対話を意味する「ショングラップ」（Shonglap）によって、こうした若い女性たちに学習を促すよい効果が挙がっている。…
Analysis by Rodney Reynolds
ISTANBUL (IDN) – The first-ever World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul, which Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon proposed as far back as 2012, failed to meet its lofty expectations despite four years of consultations with 23,000 people in over 150 countries.
“This is a 21st century United Nations gathering,” Ban boasted to delegates in his opening remarks. But the two-day summit, which concluded May 24, did not generate any significant funding nor did it receive the whole-hearted political support of the UN’s Big Five – the UK, U.S., France, China and Russia – whose leaders were conspicuous by their absence.
Besides UK, U.S. and France, even the remaining G-7 leaders were missing in action: heads of government from Canada, Italy and Japan shied away from the summit. Only German Chancellor Angela Merkel was in Istanbul to represent the world’s seven industrialized democracies. (P11) JAPANESE TEXT VERSION PDF | PORTUGUESE

بھولا ( آئی ڈی این) – بنگلہ دیش گرین ہاؤس گیس (جی ایچ جی) کے اخراج سے ہونے والی موسمیاتی تبدیلی کے عالمی حرارت کے اثرات سے بدترین طور پر متاثرہ ممالک میں سے ایک ہے، جہاں پر شدید موسمی واقعات، ٹراپیکل طوفانی آندھی، شدید سیلاب، طوفانی بارش اور دریائی کٹاؤ، شدید گرمی کی لہریں اور وسیع رقبہ زمین میں غیر متوقع قحط سالی میں اضافہ ہوتا جا رہا ہے۔
اس ملک کے ساحلی علاقے سمندر کی بڑھتی ہوئی سطح، اونچی لہروں اور زمینی علاقہ میں بڑھتی ہوئی کاشتکاری کے مواقع کی تباہی کا سبب بننے والی نمکین پانی کی خلل اندازی جیسے سنگین مسائل سے دوچار ہیں۔
بنگلہ دیش کے ساحل پر گرین ہاؤس گیس کے اخراج کا اثر ظاہر ہو چکا ہے اور ماہرین اس بات کی پیش گوئی کررہے ہیں کہ اگر فوری طور پر مناسب اقدام نہ اٹھایا جائے تو اس کے نتیجہ میں یہ صورتحال تباکُن ثابت ہو سکتی ہے۔…

भोला (BHOLA) (आईडीएन) – बांग्लादेश जलवायु परिवर्तन के प्रभाव से होने वाली ग्लोबल वार्मिंग से सबसे बुरी तरह से प्रभावित देशों में से एक है जिसका कारण ग्रीनहाउस गैसों (जीएचजी) का उत्सर्जन है – मौसम की प्रतिकूल घटनाएं जैसे उष्णकटिबंधीय चक्रवात, भीषण बाढ़, तूफ़ान और नदी के कटाव, अत्यधिक गर्म हवा के झोंके और अप्रत्याशित सूखे की घटनाएं देश के काफी बड़े हिस्से में बढ़ रही हैं।
देश के तटीय क्षेत्रों को समुद्र के बढ़ते स्तर, उच्च ज्वार और खारे पानी के प्रवेश का सामना करना पड़ता है जो पहले से देश के भीतरी भाग में आगे बढ़ रहे हैं और कृषि के अवसरों को नष्ट करते जा रहे हैं।
बांग्लादेश के समुद्रतट के साथ ग्रीन हाउस गैस उत्सर्जन का प्रभाव पहले से स्पष्ट है और विशेषज्ञों का पूर्वानुमान है कि अगर अभी उचित कार्रवाई नहीं की गई तो यह “विनाशकारी” हो सकता है।…

NEW YORK (IDN) – The world’s indigenous peoples – estimated at over 370 million living across 90 countries and accounting for 15 percent of the poorest – remain isolated, both politically and geographically.
So, nearly a thousand participants from Asia, Africa, North America, Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean gathered together to air their grievances before the United Nations at a two-week long conference, which concluded May 20.
Their plea for inclusiveness was a reiteration of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s appeal to the international community on the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for a more humane and prosperous world for all – “leaving no one behind”. (P10) JAPANESE TEXT VERSION PDF | SPANISH…

GENEVA (IDN) – The aim of the World Humanitarian Summit organized by the United Nations in the words of the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is to see what should be done “to end conflict, alleviate suffering and reduce risk and vulnerability”.
Turkey is on the front lines of the consequences of armed conflict with nearly three million refugees from Syria and Iraq as well as its own attacks against Kurds. Turkey has entered into agreements with the States of the European Union concerning the flow of refugees through Turkey to Europe − agreements that have raised controversy and concern from human rights organizations.
Given the policies of the Turkish government, some non-governmental organizations have refused to participate in protest. Doctors Without Borders − one of the best-known of the relief organizations − has pulled out. However, the Association of World Citizens will participate while working for a settlement of Kurdish issues at the same time.…
Analysis by Naimul Haq
BHOLA (IDN) – Bangladesh is one of the world’s countries worst affected by the global warming impact of climate change caused by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions – extreme weather events such tropical cyclones, severe floods, rainstorms and river erosion, extreme heat waves and unexpected droughts on vast stretches of land are on the rise.
The country’s coastal regions face a rising sea level, higher tides and saline water intrusion which is already encroaching further inland and destroying agricultural opportunities.
The effect of greenhouse gas emissions along Bangladesh’s coast is already evident and experts predict it could be “catastrophic” if appropriate action is not taken now. (P09) HINDI | JAPANESE TEXT VERSION PDF | SPANISH | URDU …

BANGKOK (IDN) – Pointing out that three tiny South Pacific nations – Kiribati, Tuvalu and Marshal islands – are “destined to slip below the waves altogether”, feisty Fijian Prime Minister Josaia Bainimarama has appealed to the international community to help Fiji and the other South Pacific island states build resilience to the impact of climatic change, which he described as the “terror of the extreme weather events”.
Addressing the opening of the 72nd UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) sessions (May 17-19) as outgoing chair, Bainimarama said: “History will judge the industrial nations very harshly if they leave small and vulnerable nations to their fate without extending the appropriate helping hand. We have not caused global warming. They have.” (P08) INDONESIAN | JAPANESE TEXT VERSION PDF | TAGALOG | THAI
