Idris is a pimp and makes no bones about it. Because of the way the sex industry works in Nigeria's northern city of Kano, he and the women he pimps have a co-dependant relationship – they exploit each other.

Kano's history dates back 1,400 years as an iron-working centre that adopted Islam in the 14th century and grew on the back of the trans-Saharan caravan trade.

Outside the old city walls is a quarter known as the sabon gari, where "foreigners" traditionally lived, segregated from the Hausa-speaking indigenous population. With sharia law applicable in Kano, it is in the bars and hotels of the sabon gari - where Islamic jurisprudence does not reach - that Idris does his business.

He works with a group of Hausa-speaking women from all over the north who live in a dingy, nameless hole-in-the-wall hotel, whose anonymity seems deliberate. Quarrelsome, poor, with some clearly on something narcotic, these are women at the edge of society.

As they prepared for the evening, applying henna to their hands and feet, cleaning their rooms, getting stoned, Idris explained that his role was to guide the "big fish" to the establishment, and sometimes act as muscle. He gets tipped by the women, maybe gets fed if they feel sorry for him, or he has a girlfriend among them, but the money they make is theirs alone.

It is not that much. They pay N450 (US$4) a night for the rooms and share blocked toilets downstairs, having to burn incense to cover the smell, and charge around N300 (US$2.60) for sex – an amount whispered out of earshot of Idris and the other pimps. While a "big fish" in the capital, Abuja, or the commercial metropolis, Lagos, might shell out N150,000 (US$1,300), here a serious score would be N15,000 (US$130) – and it doesn't happen often.

"There is a religious/cultural dimension; they are outcasts from their families and find succour in drugs: ruffies [Rohypnol, a date-rape drug], Benzedrine [an amphetamine], cough syrup," explained Salamatu Da'u, behaviour change communication coordinator in Kano of the Society for Family Health (SFH), a Nigerian AIDS service organisation that had just begun working at the hotel.

The way you change a car is the way you change a wife in Kano.
Kano, Nigeria's second largest city, has an HIV prevalence rate of 3.4 percent - just below the national average of 4.4 percent - but among brothel-based sex workers it hits 49.1 percent. In a six-state behavioural survey by the federal ministry of health, Kano's brothel-based sex workers were the least able to correctly identify ways of preventing HIV transmission, and the least likely to use condoms with their customers.

The stories of the women working out of the brothel in the sabon gari were almost identical: divorced, or running away before being forced into marriage, hoping one day to find somebody to settle down with. "I come from a religious family and I know what I am doing is a sin, but I pray every day for God to create an opportunity for me to leave this business; not just me, but all the girls," said Fatima Danjuma*.

Married young

In the north, the pressure on girls to get married begins almost as soon as they start menstruating, said Da'u. "Ï grew up with it. The idea is sold to you from six or eight; it's a way of life. The girls see it as a rite of passage: 'soon I'll be on my own', independent, grown up." But the sacrifice is education, and the chance of real independence that it can deliver.

According to the Population Council, an international reproductive health organisation, 45 percent of girls in northern Nigeria are married by the age of 15, and 73 percent by age 18. The "vast majority" of child marriages are arranged by families, to husbands 12 years older than their wives on average.

"Men made the vast majority of decisions in the household, regarding not only major life issues such as large purchases, but also more mundane matters such as daily purchases and meals. Sexual debut was often unwanted and traumatic for these young brides," the Population Council's website noted.

The vulnerability of the girls is magnified by the high divorce rate in Kano, a commercial city where a new bride can be a status symbol for a man. "A girl can be married at 12 and divorced at 18, with children to support," said Da'u. "The way you change a car is the way you change a wife in Kano. You give birth to a few children and you can find yourself divorced for the slightest excuse."

That creates a class of young women who are likely to have limited schooling, possibly living at home again - with all the tension that entails after running their own household - and expected to earn an income. Typically, this means petty trading on the streets, selling food, cosmetics or small items, while waiting for suitors; but it can also shade into sex work, in a region where condom use is exceptionally low.

"The north is a very traditional place; to make inroads you must work with traditional religious leaders," said Kene Eruchalu, SFH's national head of behaviour change communication. "What we don't have yet is many traditional leaders coming out to promote condoms. A number of them have come to terms with the fact that people are having sex, and we're thankful that we've had some kind of silent support which hasn't opposed the intervention."

Sheikh Zachery Adam says he is "deeply involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS" and, through a local association that meets one a month, supports the use of condoms for men who cannot abstain from sex or remain faithful to their wives. "I don't jump to conclusions, only God will judge who goes to hell or heaven," he told IRIN/PlusNews.

Kamalu Ibrahim, head of the local Koranic school, politely waited until the sheikh had left the room before offering his opinion. "Islamic laws are rigid, no matter the situation. There can be no sexual intercourse unless you are married; [rather than using condoms] the only solution [to sexual urges] is to marry young."

* Not her real name

HIV has hit our lives, our families, our economies; it also shapes the way we talk. IRIN/PlusNews looks at how the virus and its impact translates into everyday speech from the streets of Lagos to the townships of Johannesburg, and finds that despite the billions of dollars spent on positive communication strategies, the word on the street remains decidedly negative.

In Zimbabwe's Shona language, spoken by about 80 percent of the population, slang is called chibhende. According to Dr Robert Muponde, a senior lecturer in English studies at South Africa's University of the Witwatersrand, the expression speaks volumes about how HIV is understood and accommodated.

"Chibhende means speaking obliquely of something, in order not to blow its cover, or in order to speak about it more comfortably," he told IRIN/PlusNews.

In Zimbabwe, HIV is often spoken about as a thief (matsotsi). If you are HIV-positive, people might say you've been mugged, or Akarohwa nematsotsi in Shona, Muponde said. The phrase gives an idea of how the virus is perceived – as a sneak attack – but it also creates a space for discussion that otherwise might not exist.

"Sex is difficult to handle in a shy language like Shona," Muponde said. "Slang gives the unspeakable street value by making it look accessible and banal."

Felicity Horne, who studies AIDS and language at the University of South Africa, agreed, saying that while many communities struggled to break the silence about HIV and AIDS formally, informal or slang terms for the epidemic were proliferating and were beginning to construct a response to the pandemic.

"Language can neither be separated from our thoughts and feelings, nor from the social context in which it is used," she said. "Words and images create different conceptual realities of the phenomenon."

Organisations like SAfAIDS, a southern African HIV/AIDS information dissemination service based in Zimbabwe, argue that the slang used to describe the virus – which is almost uniformly negative – reinforces the stigma and fatalism that has proved so difficult to erase over the past 25 years of advocacy.

There is no explicit gay scene in Nigeria, but in the Ibiza bar in the capital, Abuja, the action on the packed dance floor seems a little more exclusively guy-on-guy, a little bit raunchier than may be considered "normal".

According to Oliver Okem*, a smart and trendily bespectacled AIDS activist, when the mood and the music is right, he and his friends can strut their stuff at Ibiza, Excelsior, or a couple of other gay-tolerant clubs in Abuja. Sometimes, though, it becomes advisable to "straighten up; rough-looking guys can stare at you, wondering what's up, and maybe whispering among themselves".

Being gay in Nigeria is hard: homosexual sex is illegal, but there is also the sanction contained in a rising tide of religious fundamentalism, and with cultural traditions that generally abhor same-sex coupling.

In a country - especially in the south - where marriage and children are seen as sacred, there is the added pressure from parents who expect their offspring to settle down and deliver grandchildren. Being gay means becoming invisible and, as a result of that secrecy, much more vulnerable to HIV/AIDS.

A behavioural surveillance survey by the ministry of health in 2007 found that, after sex workers, men who have sex with men (MSM) were the group most at-risk of HIV infection, with a prevalence rate of 13.4 percent – three times the national average of 4.4 percent. There was considerable variation in three cities surveyed, but in the commercial capital, Lagos, prevalence hit 25 percent.

The circumstances of MSM vulnerability are not unique to Nigeria. As in the rest of the world, some MSM do not regard themselves as gay and are in heterosexual relationships, making it difficult for orthodox AIDS campaigning to reach them.

"A lot of stigma is associated with the moral aspect [of homosexuality]. It drives people into the closet – they don't want to come out, which means they can't access [AIDS] services," said one senior HIV researcher, who asked not to be named as he did not have clearance to talk to the media.

Okem said it was a little more complicated. "The vast majority of MSM believe you cannot contract STIs [sexually transmitted infections] from anal sex. In Nigeria we don't talk about anal sex, and all the [AIDS] interventions are targeted at heterosexuals and vaginal sex. The perception of gay people not using condoms is not because we don't want to, but because we are not well informed."

The internet, with social networking websites like Facebook, and the more discreet clubs provide enough opportunities to hook up. "Very few relationships are formed, most of it is about the sex or the benefits," said Okem.

"The majority of 'passive' [recipient] gay men have accepted their sexuality ... some 'actives' may have done it once or twice and liked it – but wouldn't agree they are gay. There is a financial exchange then, but more usually it is actives that take money for sex."

Getting organised

Gays and lesbians are beginning to organise: at least 10 groups have been formed in Nigeria and are pressing for better representation in the AIDS response, which the government seems ready to grant. Alliance Rights Nigeria, one of the oldest, was set up in 1999 in response to the toll of AIDS deaths among MSM, who were "dying in ignorance", said the group's executive director, Ifeanyi Orazulike.

Unlike Okem, who has not told his parents or ruled out getting married, Orazulike is open about his sexuality and feels attitudes are beginning to change. "People are coming to the realisation that there are gays in Nigeria," he told IRIN/PlusNews. "There is a level of toleration."

In the Muslim north there has historically been a cultural acceptance of "Dan Daudu" – men who live as women – despite the contradiction to traditional Islamic teaching. But even in the south, with its avowedly macho outlook on life, Orazulike said he had never been confronted with anti-gay aggression. That could be a testament both to his discretion, and to the innocent incredulity with which many Nigerians regard homosexuality.

"We don't intend to rub people's faces in it, otherwise they are forced to react; just live your life," Orazulike explained. That approach is likely to guide Nigeria's AIDS response to the gay and lesbian community, where a little tact may be required to avoid the attention of the national assembly and some of the more conservative elements in government.

"There will be no specific intervention response that targets this group," said the researcher, who works for a major funding agency. "It will be a package to address the most at-risk groups, and we'll reach them that way, but not as a population cohort themselves."

Petrol tankers parked nose-to-tail line the five-kilometre stretch of road from the southern Nigerian town of Eleme to its refinery, waiting to fuel up and begin their long journey home.

If the trip runs smoothly, a tanker leaving the big cities of the north at dawn should arrive at Eleme, in the troubled oil-rich delta region, by early evening. The following day the fuel company's representative fights to get a "ticket" for the driver, authorising the consignment. With the allotted load on board, the gear-grinding exhaust-belching trucks nudge their way out of the depot and into the traffic.

But because things do not usually go to plan, there is a thriving roadside service industry taking care of stalled truckers, refinery workers, fuel dealers and anybody else looking for accommodation, banks, butchers, bars, mechanics, places of worship, restaurants, laundry services, film halls, cell phone kiosks – and sex.

More than 100 women from all over Nigeria work out of the tiny wooden shacks at the heart of the community. They pay N300 (US$2) a day for their rooms - not much bigger than the space taken by a single mattress, without electricity or running water - and charge a minimum of N300 for sex.

Eleme, on the southern rim of Rivers State, one of the four core delta states, is one of the largest of a string of eight truck stops along the 800km route into the north where commercial sex is available.

Rivers has an HIV prevalence rate of 5.4 percent, above the national average of 4.4 percent, but not the worst result in the country; that position is held by the state of Benue, in central Nigeria, with an infection rate of 10 percent.

Rivers, however, is at the centre of delta militancy, in which armed young men have proved themselves willing and able to take on the armed forces of the federal government to press their demands for a fairer sharing of Nigeria's wealth, almost exclusively derived from the oil and gas of the region.

AIDS and insecurity

Dr C. Okeh, head of the State Action Committee on HIV/AIDS in Rivers, worries that the unrest will have an impact on the fight against the virus. At the very least, "a crisis situation means that you don't have time to listen to [AIDS] messages – you're thinking of your immediate survival," he told IRIN/PlusNews.

Queen Henry is the peer educator for the sex workers in Eleme, part of a community-based organisation supported by the Society for Family Health, Nigeria's largest AIDS service provider. For her, the most pressing concern is the insecurity in the area.

Soldiers based at the nearby river jetty, where cargo ships take on fuel pumped from the refinery through a bundle of pipes, each the width of a man's waist, have decreed an unofficial 9 p.m. curfew on the sex trade. Enforcing it has meant regular raids on the shacks, kicking out customers and beating women not inside their rooms.

But the AIDS message is sinking in, condoms are cheap and available, and the sex workers are organised. Henry has no doubt that all the women she reaches know in theory the importance of protection. "But the problem is you're not in the room with the girls when they are alone with a customer," she explained. "If eager for money, you do it [without a condom]; if you want to protect your life, you don't," was her matter-of-fact assessment.

That triggered a mini-debate among the women gathered outside her small kiosk, where she sells tonics and douches. "Two thousand naira [roughly US$17, what some women charge for sex without a condom] cannot cure the sickness inside my body [as a result of HIV]. I have seen money [had a lot of it]; I'm too young to die. It's not because of [greed that] I'll go and mess up my life," said Patience Orkah, wearing black hot-pants and a lot of make-up.

All the women agreed, except Charity Ekiti. "All I know is I [get the] money, I f***," she chipped in. "If I [don't die as a result of AIDS], I still go die. I only know God [won't] let that happen." Loud and outrageous, it was hard to tell if she was serious. But what she made clear was that she did not bother using condoms with her boyfriend: "It's not sweet like that."

Why condoms are still an issue is because of men like Umoru, 36, who has a wife in the north but works from Eleme as a tanker driver hauling fuel to the southern cities. He visits his wife every three months or so, and in the interim – "just two or three times" - calls on sex workers and offers double the normal rate not to use a rubber. "They tell me [to wear one] but I no fit do am [I can't do it] with condom."

He said some of the women would refuse bareback sex, "even if you give them one million naira". But he knows some who are less fastidious, and they are his regular partners. "I fear [but everything that happens] is through God" was how he rationalised the risk.

Chinenye Imoh sits at a table under an umbrella all day, handing out information pamphlets to truckers for the Arewa Society Against HIV/AIDS, a community-based organisation. She has heard all the excuses before, especially by drivers from the more conservative Muslim north, where discussion about sex is less open, literacy is low, and girls often quit school and marry early.

"Some say people [in the past also became] emaciated and died. Others say, 'no sickness wey no get medicine' [every ailment has a cure] ... but we're trying," was her upbeat message.

UN discusses new global plan for children

THE United Nations is meeting today in New York to deliberate on efforts to better the lot of children across the world and review progress made in the past years.

Chief Communication Media and External Relations Director of UNICEF in Nigeria, Christine Jaulmes, said the parley will review progress made and develop a new plan of action for the next decade called "A world Fit for Children."

The statement reads in part: "Heads of State and other dignitaries have gathered at the United Nations Headquarters in New York today for a landmark conference to review progress towards "A World Fit for Children," a plan of action to improve the lives of children created by governments in 2002."

UNICEF Executive Director Ann Veneman said the forum would provide a platform for discussing an ideal world fit for children.

"Five years ago, world leaders pledged to promote healthy lives; to provide quality education; to combat HIV and AIDS; and to protect children against abuse, exploitation and violence. Now, we are taking stock to see where we need to push further and faster to build a world that is truly fit for children," she said. In 2006, for the first time since global data has been collected, deaths of children under age five fell below 10 million. More children are in school today than ever before, especially girls. More children are registered at birth and there is a greater focus on protecting children from violence, abuse and the worst forms of child labour, the organisation stated.

UNICEF observed that 9.7 million children under age five continue to die each year and, as the world prepares for the International Year of Sanitation, nearly 900 million children lack access to this most basic service.

The special General Assembly high-level meeting, known as A World Fit for Children +5 (WFFC+5), will examine advances and setbacks in child well-being since the 2002 Special Session on Children. The assembly is expected to adopt a declaration reaffirming global and national commitments to the goals set in 2002.

In addition to heads of state and government, some 130 high-level national delegations will be present, including more than 40 government ministers. Twenty children will participate in the conference as members of their national delegations. Hundreds of NGOs will also gather in New York for discussions and advocacy on children's issues.

To promote ownership of the occasion, more than 90 children from around the world have been meeting for two days in New York to prepare for "A World Fit for Children +5."

The highlight of the Forum was a live satellite link-up between seven of the children in New York, selected by their peers, and members of the new global entity called 'The Elders', including Graca Machel, Desmond Tutu and Mary Robinson, who were gathered in Cape Town.

Nigeria will be represented at this Session by the Minister of Women Affairs. The President and the Speaker of the Children's Parliament will also attend the event.

Meanwhile, there is growing concern that close to one billion people will never receive a formal education because governments around the world are not living up to pledges to provide free primary schooling for all by 2015.

At a meeting in Senegal's capital Dakar in 2000, governments from 164 countries had agreed on goals including the provision of good quality, free primary education for all and a 50-percent improvement in adult literacy by the middle of next decade.

According to a report by Reuters, halfway to that deadline, the world's richest nations are failing to live up to pledges to help the poorest and the goals remain elusive, according to the Global Campaign for Education (GCE), a grouping of thousands of teachers' unions and civil society groups including Save the Children and Oxfam.

"At current performance rates, close to a billion people won't receive education in their lifetime, let alone in the next seven years as promised," said Nelida Cespedes, a GCE board member from Peru.

Universal primary education by 2015 is also one of the eight UN Millennium Development Goals agreed by world governments.

The campaign group said in a report that 72 million children were still not attending primary school and that 774 million adults - or one in five - were illiterate. Although many of them were in Africa, the study said several African governments had made marked improvements in providing schooling.

The report coincided with a meeting in Dakar of ministers and educational specialists from around the world, hosted by Senegal's President Abdoulaye Wade and the Director General of U.N. cultural and education agency UNESCO, Koichiro Matsuura.

"More than 18 million new teachers will be needed by 2015, nearly four million in sub-Saharan Africa alone," Matsuura told the summit, attended by hundreds of school children.

UNESCO said in a report last month that good progress was being made, with primary school enrolment rising by 36 percent in sub-Saharan Africa and by 22 percent in South and West Asia between 1999 and 2005.

But it said external foreign aid for education was "far short of the $11 billion required annually" and was not targeted enough at Africa or at primary school education.

L'ONU discute le nouveau plan global pour des enfants que

les Nations Unies se réunit aujourd'hui à New York pour délibérer sur des efforts d'améliorer le sort d'enfants à travers le monde et le progrès de revue a fait en dernières années.

Directeur de médias de communication en chef et de relations extérieures de l'UNICEF au Nigéria, Christine Jaulmes, a dit que la conférence passera en revue le progrès accompli et développera un nouveau plan d'action pour la décennie suivante appelée « un monde adapté pour des enfants.  »

Le rapport lit en partie : Les « chefs d'Etat et d'autres honorables se sont réunis aux siège des Nations Unies À New York aujourd'hui pour qu'une conférence de borne limite passe en revue le progrès vers « un monde adapté pour des enfants, » un plan d'action pour améliorer les vies des enfants créés par des gouvernements en 2002. « 

Directeur exécutif Ann Veneman de l'UNICEF a dit que le forum fournirait une plateforme pour discuter un monde idéal adapté pour des enfants.

Il y a « cinq ans, les chefs du monde ont mis en gage pour favoriser les vies saines ; pour fournir l'éducation de qualité ; pour combattre HIV et le SIDA ; et pour protéger des enfants contre l'abus, l'exploitation et la violence. Maintenant, nous prenons des actions pour voir où nous devons pousser plus loin et construire plus rapidement un monde qui est vraiment adapté pour des enfants, « elle a dit. En 2006, pour la première fois puisque des données globales ont été rassemblées, les décès des enfants sous l'âge cinq sont tombées en-dessous de 10 millions. Plus d'enfants sont à l'école aujourd'hui que jamais avant, particulièrement des filles. Plus d'enfants sont enregistrés à la naissance et il y a un plus grand foyer sur les enfants protecteurs de la violence, de l'abus et des plus mauvaises formes de travail des enfants, l'organisation indiquée.

L'UNICEF a observé que 9.7 millions d'enfants sous l'âge cinq continuent à mourir tous les ans et, comme le monde se prépare à l'année internationale de l'hygiène, presque 900 millions d'accès de manque d'enfants à ce service le plus fondamental.

La réunion à niveau élevé spéciale de l'Assemblée générale, connue sous le nom de monde adapté pour les enfants +5 (WFFC+5), examinera des avances et des reculs dans le bien-être d'enfant depuis la session 2002 spéciale sur des enfants. On s'attend à ce que l'assemblée adopte une déclaration réaffirmant des engagements globaux et nationaux aux objectifs fixés en 2002.

En plus des chefs d'Etat et le gouvernement, environ 130 délégations nationales à niveau élevé seront présentes, y compris plus de 40 ministres de gouvernement. Vingt enfants participeront à la conférence comme membres de leurs délégations nationales. Les centaines d'O.N.G.s recueilleront également à New York pour des discussions et la recommandation sur les questions des enfants.

Pour favoriser la propriété de l'occasion, plus de 90 enfants de partout dans le monde s'étaient réunis pendant deux jours à New York pour se préparer « à un monde adapté pour les enfants +5.  »

Le point culminant du forum était un lien satellite de phase entre sept des enfants à New York, choisi par leurs pairs, et les membres de la nouvelle entité globale ont appelé « les aînés », y compris Graca Machel, Desmond Tutu et Mary Robinson, qui ont été recueillis au Cap.

Le Nigéria sera représenté à cette session par le ministre des affaires de femmes. Le président et l'orateur du Parlement des enfants assisteront également à l'événement.

En attendant, là accroît le souci qui de près d'un milliard de personnes ne recevra jamais un enseignement conventionnel parce que les gouvernements autour du monde ne vivent pas jusqu'aux engagements pour fournir instruire primaire libre pour tous d'ici 2015.

Lors d'une réunion à Dakar capital du Sénégal en 2000, les gouvernements de 164 pays avaient convenu sur des buts comprenant la fourniture de bonne qualité, l'éducation primaire libre pour tous et une amélioration de 50 pour cent d'instruction d'adulte par le milieu de la décennie prochaine.

Selon un rapport par Reuters, à mi-chemin à cette date-limite, les nations les plus riches du monde ne vivent pas jusqu'aux engagements pour aider le plus pauvre et les buts pour demeurer évasifs, selon la campagne globale pour l'éducation (GCE), grouper des milliers des syndicats des enseignants et les groupes civils de société comprenant économiser les enfants et l'Oxfam.

« Aux taux d'utilisation des ressources courants, près d'milliard de personnes ne recevra pas l'éducation dans leur vie, encore moins en sept années à venir comme promis, » a dit Nelida Cespedes, un membre du conseil de GCE du Pérou.

L'éducation primaire universelle d'ici 2015 est également l'un des huit buts de développement de millénium de l'ONU convenus par des gouvernements du monde.

Le groupe de campagne a dit dans un rapport que 72 millions d'enfants ne allaient toujours pas à l'école primaire et que 774 millions d'adultes - ou un dans cinq - étaient illettrés. Bien que bon nombre d'entre eux aient été en Afrique, l'étude dite plusieurs gouvernements africains avait apporté des améliorations marquées de fournir instruire.

Le rapport a coïncidé avec une réunion à Dakar des ministres et des spécialistes éducatifs de partout dans le monde, accueilli par le Président Abdoulaye Wade et le directeur général du Sénégal d'U.N. l'UNESCO culturel et d'éducation d'agence, Koichiro Matsuura.

« Plus de 18 millions de nouveaux professeurs seront nécessaires d'ici 2015, presque quatre millions seule en Afrique sous-saharien, » Matsuura ont dit le sommet, occupé par des centaines d'écoliers.

L'UNESCO a dit dans un rapport le mois dernier que le bon progrès était accompli, avec l'inscription scolaire primaire se levant par 36 pour cent en Afrique sous-saharien et par 22 pour cent en Asie du sud et occidentale entre 1999 et 2005.

Mais il ladite aide étrangère externe pour l'éducation était « loin sous peu des $11 milliards exigés annuellement » et n'a pas été visé assez chez l'Afrique ou à l'éducation d'école primaire.

La O.N.U discute el nuevo plan global para los niños que

los Naciones Unidas están satisfaciendo hoy en Nueva York para deliberar en esfuerzos de mejorar a la porción de niños a través del mundo y el progreso de la revisión hizo en los últimos años.

Director de la Unicef en Nigeria, Christine Jaulmes de los principales medios de comunicación y de las relaciones exteriores, dijo que el parley repasará el progreso hecho y que desarrollará un nuevo plan de la acción para la década próxima llamada “un mundo cabido para los niños. ”

La declaración lee adentro la parte: Los “jefes de estado y otros dignatarios han recolectado en las jefaturas de Naciones Unidas en Nueva York hoy para que una conferencia de la señal repase progreso hacia “un mundo cabido para los niños,” un plan de la acción para mejorar las vidas de los niños creados por gobiernos en 2002. “

Director ejecutivo Ana Veneman de la Unicef dijo que el foro proporcionaría una plataforma para discutir un mundo ideal cabido para los niños.

Hace “cinco años, los líderes del mundo prometieron para promover vidas sanas; para proporcionar la educación de la calidad; para combatir el VIH y el SIDA; y para proteger a niños contra abuso, la explotación y la violencia. Ahora, estamos tomando la acción para ver donde necesitamos empujar más lejos y más rápidamente construir un mundo que se cabe verdad para los niños, “ella dijo. En 2006, por primera vez puesto que se han recogido los datos globales, las muertes de niños bajo edad cinco bajaron debajo de 10 millones. Más niños están en escuela hoy que siempre antes, especialmente las muchachas. Colocan a más niños en el nacimiento y hay un mayor foco en niños de protección de la violencia, del abuso y de las formas peores de trabajo de niño, la organización indicada.

La Unicef observó que 9.7 millones de niños bajo edad cinco continúan muriendo cada año y, como el mundo se prepara por el año internacional del saneamiento, casi 900 millones de accesos de la carencia de los niños a este servicio más básico.

La reunión de alto nivel especial de la Asamblea General, conocida como mundo cabido para los niños +5 (WFFC+5), examinará avances y reveses en bienestar del niño desde la sesión especial 2002 sobre niños. Se espera que la asamblea adopte un declaración que reafirma comisiones globales y nacionales a las metas fijadas en 2002.

Además de los jefes de estado y gobierno, unas 130 delegaciones nacionales de alto nivel estarán presentes, incluyendo más de 40 ministros del gobierno. Veinte niños participarán en la conferencia como miembros de sus delegaciones nacionales. Los centenares de NGOs también recolectarán en Nueva York para las discusiones y la defensa en las ediciones de los niños.

Para promover la propiedad de la ocasión, más de 90 niños de alrededor del mundo han estado satisfaciendo por dos días en Nueva York para prepararse para “un mundo cabido para los niños +5. ”

El toque de luz del foro era una conexión basada en los satélites viva entre siete de los niños en Nueva York, seleccionado por sus pares, y los miembros de la entidad global nueva llamaron “a ancianos”, incluyendo Graca Machel, Desmond Tutu y Maria Robinson, que fueron recolectadas en Ciudad del Cabo.

Nigeria será representado en esta sesión por el ministro de los asuntos de las mujeres. El presidente y el locutor del parlamento de los niños también atenderán al acontecimiento.

Mientras tanto, está creciendo el preocupación que cerca de un mil millones personas nunca recibirá una enseñanza convencional porque los gobiernos alrededor del mundo no están viviendo hasta compromisos para proporcionar enseñar primario libre para todos antes de 2015.

En una reunión en Dakar capital de Senegal en 2000, los gobiernos a partir de 164 países habían convenido en metas incluyendo la disposición de la buena calidad, la educación primaria libre para todos y una mejora de 50 por ciento en la instrucción del adulto por el centro de la década próxima.

Según un informe de Reuters, a medio camino a ese plazo, las naciones más ricas del mundo no están pudiendo vivir hasta compromisos para ayudar al más pobre y a las metas para seguir siendo evasivas, según la campaña global para la educación (GCE), agrupar de millares de las uniones de profesores y los grupos civiles de la sociedad incluyendo excepto los niños y el Oxfam.

“En las tarifas de funcionamiento actuales, cerca de mil millones personas no recibirá la educación en su curso de la vida, aún menos en los siete años próximos según lo prometido,” dijo Nelida Cespedes, miembro del Consejo de GCE de Perú.

La educación primaria universal antes de 2015 es también una de las ocho metas del desarrollo del milenio de la O.N.U convenidas por gobiernos del mundo.

El grupo de la campaña dijo en un informe que 72 millones de niños todavía no atendían a la escuela primaria y que 774 millones de adultos - o uno en cinco - eran analfabetos. Aunque muchos de ellos estaban en África, el estudio dicho varios gobiernos africanos había llevado a cabo mejoras marcadas en el abastecimiento de enseñar.

El informe coincidió con una reunión en Dakar de ministros y de especialistas educativos de alrededor del mundo, recibida por presidente Abdoulaye Wade y el director general de Senegal de U.N. la UNESCO cultural y de la educación de la agencia, Koichiro Matsuura.

Il NU discute il nuovo programma globale per i bambini che

le Nazioni Unite stanno venendo a contatto di oggi a New York per riflettere sugli sforzi migliorare il lotto dei bambini attraverso il mondo ed il progresso di revisione ha fatto durante gli anni scorsi.

Il direttore del UNICEF in Nigeria, Christine Jaulmes di mezzi di comunicazione principali e di relazioni esterne, ad esempio che il parley rivedrà i progressi realizzare e svilupperà un nuovo piano d'azione per la decade prossima chiamata “un mondo misura per i bambini. „

La dichiarazione legge in parte: “I capi di stato ed altri dignitaries hanno riunito oggi alle sedi di Nazioni Unite a New York affinchè un congresso del limite rivedano il progresso verso “un mondo misura per i bambini,„ un piano d'azione per migliorare le vite dei bambini generati dai governi in 2002. “

Il direttore esecutivo Ann Veneman del UNICEF ha detto che la tribuna fornirebbe una piattaforma per la discussione del mondo ideale misura per i bambini.

“Cinque anni fa, i capi del mondo hanno impegnato per promuovere le vite sane; per fornire formazione di qualità; per combattere HIV ed il AIDS; e per proteggere i bambini da abuso, da sfruttamento e dalla violenza. Ora, stiamo prendendo le azione per vedere dove dobbiamo spingere più ulteriormente e più velocemente costruire un mondo che allineare misura per i bambini, “ha detto. In 2006, per la prima volta poiché i dati globali sono stati raccolti, le morti dei bambini sotto l'età cinque sono caduto inferiore a 10 milioni. Più bambini sono oggi a scuola che mai prima, particolarmente ragazze. Più bambini sono registrati alla nascita e ci è un fuoco più grande sui bambini di protezione dalla violenza, dall'abuso e dalle forme più difettose del lavoro del bambino, l'organizzazione dichiarata.

Il UNICEF ha osservato che 9.7 milione bambini sotto l'età cinque continuano a morire ogni anno e, come il mondo si prepara per l'anno internazionale di risanamento, quasi 900 milione accessi di mancanza dei bambini a questo servizio più fondamentale.

La riunione ad alto livello speciale dell'assemblea generale, conosciuta come un mondo misura per i bambini +5 (WFFC+5), esaminerà gli avanzamenti e le battute d'arresto nel benessere del bambino dalla sessione speciale 2002 sui bambini. Il complessivo si pensa che adotti una dichiarazione che riafferma gli impegni globali e nazionali agli obiettivi regolati in 2002.

Oltre che i capi di stato ed il governo, circa 130 delegazioni nazionali ad alto livello sarà presente, compreso più di 40 ministri di governo. Venti bambini parteciperanno al congresso come membri delle loro delegazioni nazionali. Le centinaia dei NGOs inoltre riuniranno a New York per le discussioni e l'avvocatura sulle edizioni dei bambini.

Per promuovere la proprietà dell'occasione, più di 90 bambini intorno al mondo stanno venendo a contatto di per due giorni a New York per prepararsi per “un mondo misura per i bambini +5. „

Il punto culminante della tribuna era un collegamento satellite in tensione fra sette dei bambini a New York, selezionato dai loro pari ed i membri di nuova entità globale hanno chiamato “i Elders„, compreso Graca Machel, Desmond Tutu e Mary Robinson, che sono stati riuniti a Città del Capo.

La Nigeria sarà rappresentata a questa sessione dal ministro degli affari delle donne. Il presidente e l'altoparlante del Parlamento dei bambini inoltre assisteranno all'evento.

Nel frattempo, sta sviluppando la preoccupazione che vicino ad un miliardo genti non riceverà mai un'educazione scolastica perché i governi intorno al mondo non stanno vivendo fino agli impegni per fornire l'istruzione primaria libera per tutti entro 2015.

Ad una riunione a Dakar capitale del Senegal in 2000, i governi da 164 paesi avevano accosentito sugli obiettivi compreso la misura di buona qualità, la formazione primaria libera per tutti e un miglioramento di 50 per cento nel literacy dell'adulto dalla metà della decade prossima.

Secondo un rapporto da Reuters, a metà strada a quella scadenza, le nazioni più ricche del mondo non stanno riuscendo a vivere fino agli impegni per aiutare il più povero e gli obiettivi per rimanere evasivi, secondo la campagna globale per formazione (GCE), un raggruppamento delle migliaia dei sindacati degli insegnanti ed i gruppi civili della società compreso risparmi i bambini e il Oxfam.

“Ai tassi di prestazioni correnti, vicino ad miliardo genti non riceverà la formazione nel loro corso della vita, e tanto meno durante i sette anni futuri come promesso,„ ha detto Nelida Cespedes, un membro di bordo di GCE dal Perù.

La formazione primaria universale entro 2015 è inoltre uno degli otto obiettivi di sviluppo di millennio di NU accosentiti dai governi del mondo.

Il gruppo di campagna ha detto in un rapporto che 72 milione bambini ancora non stavano assistendo alla scuola primaria e che 774 milione adulti - o uno in cinque - erano illetterati. Anche se molti di loro erano in Africa, lo studio detto parecchi governi africani aveva apportato i miglioramenti notevoli nel fornire l'istruzione.

Il rapporto ha coinciso con una riunione a Dakar dei ministri e degli esperti educativi intorno al mondo, ospitata dal presidente Abdoulaye Wade ed il Direttore Generale del Senegal di U.N. Unesco di formazione e culturale dell'agenzia, Koichiro Matsuura.

“Più di 18 milione nuovi insegnanti saranno necessari entro 2015, quasi quattro milioni in Africa sub-Saharan da solo,„ Matsuura hanno detto alla sommità, assistita a dai centinaia degli scolari.

L'Unesco ha detto in un rapporto ultimo mese che i buoni progressi stavano realizzare, con l'iscrizione di scuola primaria che aumenta di 36 per cento in Africa sub-Saharan e di 22 per cento in Asia del sud ed ad ovest fra 1999 e 2005.

Ma sussidio straniero esterno detto a formazione era “lontano bruscamente dei $11 miliardo richiesto annualmente„ e non è stato designato abbastanza all'Africa o a formazione della scuola primaria.

Vor „fünf Jahren, versprachen Weltführer, um gesunde Leben zu fördern; Qualitätsausbildung zur Verfügung stellen; HIV und AIDS bekämpfen; und Kinder gegen Mißbrauch, Ausnutzung und Gewalttätigkeit schützen. Jetzt nehmen wir Vorrat, um zu sehen, wo wir weiter drücken müssen und, eine Welt schneller zu errichten, die wirklich für Kinder gepaßt wird, „sie sagte. 2006 zum ersten Mal, da globale Daten gesammelt worden sind, fielen Todesfälle der Kinder minderjähriges fünf unter 10 Million. Mehr Kinder sind in der Schule heute als überhaupt vor, besonders Mädchen. Mehr Kinder werden an der Geburt registriert und es gibt einen grösseren Fokus auf schützenden Kindern von der Gewalttätigkeit, vom Mißbrauch und von den schlechtesten Formen der Kinderarbeit, die angegebene Organisation.

Nigeria zal bij deze Zitting door de Minister van de Zaken van Vrouwen worden vertegenwoordigd. De voorzitter en de Spreker van het Parlement van de Kinderen zullen ook de gebeurtenis bijwonen.

Ondertussen, is er groeiende zorg die bijna één miljard mensen nooit een officieel onderwijs zal ontvangen omdat de overheden rond de wereld niet beloften naleven om het vrije primaire scholen voor allen tegen 2015 te verstrekken.

Op een vergadering in hoofdDakar van Senegal in 2000, waren de overheden van 164 landen akkoord gegaan met doelstellingen met inbegrip van de voorziening van goede kwaliteit, vrij primair onderwijs voor allen en een 50 percentenverbetering van volwassen geletterdheid door het midden van volgende decennium.

Volgens een rapport door Reuters, halverwege aan die uiterste termijn, slagen de rijkste naties van de wereld beloften naleven er niet in om slechtst en de doelstellingen ontwijkend te helpen, volgens de Globale Campagne voor Onderwijs (GCE) blijven, een groepering van duizenden de vakbonden van leraren en burgerlijke de maatschappijgroepen met inbegrip van sparen de Kinderen en de Oxfam.

Het universele primaire onderwijs tegen 2015 is ook één van de acht Doelstellingen van de Ontwikkeling van het Millennium van de V.N. die door wereldoverheden worden goedgekeurd.

De campagnegroep zei in een rapport dat 72 miljoen kinderen nog geen primaire school bijwoonden en dat 774 miljoen volwassenen - of één in vijf - ongeletterd waren. Hoewel veel van hen in Afrika waren, zei de studie verscheidene Afrikaanse overheden duidelijke verbeteringen van het verstrekken van het scholen hadden gemaakt.

Het rapport viel met een vergadering in Dakar van ministers en onderwijsspecialisten samen van rond de wereld, die door President Abdoulaye Wade van Senegal en de Directeur -generaal van de V.N. wordt georganiseerd. Unesco van het culturele en onderwijsagentschap, Koichiro Matsuura.

„Meer dan 18 miljoen nieuwe leraren zullen tegen 2015, bijna vier miljoen in sub-Saharan alleen Afrika worden vereist,“ Matsuura vertelden de top, die door honderden schoolkinderen wordt bijgewoond.

Unesco zei vorige maand in een rapport dat goede vooruitgang werd geboekt, met primaire schoolinschrijving die met 36 percenten in sub-Saharan Afrika en door 22 percenten in Zuid- en van West- Azië tussen 1999 en 2005 toeneemt.

Maar het zei de externe buitenlandse hulp voor onderwijs „veel plotseling van $11 jaarlijks vereiste miljard“ was en niet genoeg in Afrika of bij primaire schoolonderwijs werd gericht.
