Bambini - da Save the Children
25.05.2006 I bambini scomparsi in Italia nel 2005 sono stati circa 2.000, alcuni ritrovati. Ma tutt'oggi nell'Unione Europea non č possibile ottenere statistiche esaurienti relative ai bambini scomparsi e sfruttati a scopo sessuale: la raccolta dei dati č raramente organizzata a livello nazionale, le informazioni disponibili sono difficilmente accessibili. "Il fenomeno dei bambini scomparsi č una vera tragedia, purtroppo sempre pił diffusa e che i paesi dell'Unione Europea non possono accettare" - ha sottolineato il vicepresidente della Commissione europea, Franco Frattini, in occasione della 'Giornata internazionale per i bambini scomparsi' che si celebra oggi. Per rispondere a questa terribile piaga la Commissione europea intende proporre di attivare un numero di soccorso unico in tutta l'Ue (forse il 116) e un sito internet europeo di facile consultazione a cui potranno far ricorso tutti i minorenni e che serva anche a sensibilizzare l'opinione pubblica sul grave fenomeno. Intanto le associazioni che aderiscono al 'Coordinamento per i diritti dell'infanzia e dell'adolescenza' chiedono al Governo italiano che le competenze in materia di infanzia e adolescenza vengano ricondotte ad un unico dicastero.

13.05.2006 Amnesty International teme che durante i Mondiali di calcio, in programma in Germania dal 9 giugno al 9 luglio, vi sarą un aumento della tratta di donne e ragazze a scopo di sfruttamento sessuale. L’organizzazione per i diritti umani chiede alle istituzioni e ai governi europei di fare tutto quanto č in loro potere per impedire che ciņ avvenga. Nelle 12 cittą che ospiteranno le partite (Berlino, Colonia, Dortmund, Francoforte, Gelsenkirchen, Amburgo, Hannover, Kaiserlautern, Lipsia, Monaco, Norimberga e Stoccarda) si prevede l’affluenza di oltre un milione di tifosi. L’Assemblea parlamentare del Consiglio d’Europa teme che tra 30.000 e 60.000 donne e ragazze potrebbero essere vittime di tratta per soddisfare l’aumento delle richieste di prestazioni sessuali. Amnesty International chiede agli Stati europei di firmare e ratificare la Convenzione del Consiglio d’Europa sull’azione contro la tratta di esseri umani, e all’Unione europea di assicurare che tutte le misure vigenti e di prossima attuazione relative alla tratta di esseri umani prevedano come minimo gli stessi standard di protezione contenuti nella Convenzione: ad oggi, la Convenzione č stata firmata da 25 dei 46 Stati membri del Consiglio d’Europa ed entrerą in vigore alla decima ratifica.

12.05.2006 On kulunut jo vuosi siitä kun Uzbekistanin armeija avasi tulen aseettomia mielenosoittajia vastaan Andizhanin kaupungissa. Ketään ei ole asetettu tuomiolle tapahtumasta, jossa sadat ihmiset menettivät henkensä. Ihmisoikeusjärjestö Human Rights Wach perää kansainväliseltä yhteisöltä tiukkoja otteita kriisin selvittämiseksi.

10.05.2006 In a statement to Dawn Amna, who had recently spearheaded a revolt against the widespread vani tradition in Mianwali, said: “It seems that we are being punished for crying out against the cruelty. Hopes for justice kindled with the intervention of the Supreme Court have been snuffed out as lower courts are constantly denying bails to my (imprisoned) uncles, while the people of rival family have been released after serving only a short stint in the lock-ups”. Nadeem Saeed reports.
