30.11.2007 When Nicholas Negroponte unveiled an idea for bridging the technology divide between rich nations and the developing world in 2005, it was captivating in its utter simplicity. The idea was to design a $100 laptop and get it into the hands of 150 million of the world's poorest schoolchildren.

Manifestazione dei NATs in Perù - da Selvas.org
29.11.2007 La scorsa settimana, in occasione del 18esimo anniversario della convenzione Onu sui Diritti del Bambino si è tenuta in diversi paesi dell'America Latina una grande mobilitazione dei movimenti sociali per i diritti dell'infanzia. "Noi bambini esigiamo di vivere senza la guerra!", "Esigiamo il diritto al lavoro in condizioni dignitose per i bambini e adolescenti lavoratori NATs". Sono alcuni titoli dei manifesti colorati e degli slogan gridati in Piazza Bolivar a Bogotà, davanti al Parlamento, da un centinaio di bambini e adolescenti che si sono riuniti a livello nazionale. "Come a Bogotà anche a Lima (Perù), a Ciudad del Este (Paraguay) e a Cordoba (Argentina) i movimenti sociali NATs (Niños y Adolescentes Trabajadores) dell’America Latina hanno organizzato varie iniziative e manifestazioni in tutto il continente grazie anche alla cooperazione italiana" - riporta Cristiano Morsolin di Selvas.org.

Mappa dell'Aids nel mondo - da Unaids
21.11.2007 Un rapporto pubblicato nei giorni scorsi dall'agenzia Onu Unaids corregge le stime precendenti sul numero di persone affette dal virus dell'Aids, da quasi 40 milioni a 33 milioni di cui 2,5 milioni sono bambini. Il calo è legato soprattutto alla revisione delle stime in India dove l'agenzia aveva stimato 5,7 milioni di malati, dato che ora ha più che dimezzato portandolo a 2,5 milioni. "Ma con oltre 6.800 nuove infezioni e oltre 5.700 morti al giorno per l'Aids, dobbiamo intensificare gli sforzi contro la diffusione della malattia" - afferma Unaids. Ad una settimana dalla Giornata Mondiale della lotta all’Aids, ActionAid invita i governi "a non abbassare la guardia e anzi a raddoppiare gli sforzi per mantenere le promesse per assicurare il raggiungimento dell’Obiettivo dell’accesso universale alle terapie entro il 2010".

Giornata mondiale per i diritti dell'infanzia 2007 - da Unicef
20.11.2007 A 18 anni dall'entrata in vigore della Convenzione Onu sui diritti dell'infanzia rimangono impressionanti le cifre diffuse oggi dall'Unicef in occasione della "Giornata internazionale per i diritti e l'infanzia e dall'adolescenza". Nel mondo ogni anno muoiono 9,7 milioni di bambini la maggior parte per denutrizione. I minori sono le prime vittime dei conflitti armati e preoccupante è il bilancio delle mine e delle "cluster bombs" che causano morte o menomazione permanente a migliaia di bambini. Il presidente di Unicef-Italia, Antonio Sclavi, in occasione della Giornata ha voluto sottolineare che "Per chi come noi si occupa di diritti umani è fondamentale ribadire con forza che 'sicurezza' ha un significato ampio, non significa soltanto "pubblica sicurezza", ossia l'attività della pubblica amministrazione diretta alla tutela dell'ordine pubblico, ma anche sicurezza sociale: misure, cioè, che garantiscano diritti quali l'istruzione, la salute, l'accesso ai servizi sociali".
