Ensuring women's leadership to tackle climate change stressed

 

Human Rights Report:
The global women leaders today adopted a declaration demanding to ensure the women's and girl's leadership in tackling the climate change issues successfully. "We believe that the fight against climate change must be closely connected to the fight against gender inequality, and agree that ensuring women's and girls' leadership is vital if global efforts to tackle climate change are to succeed," they said. The declaration "Glasgow Women's Leadership on Gender Equality and Climate Change," was adopted at the High-level Panel on Women and Climate Change, held in the sideline of the COP26 World Leaders' Summit at Scottish Pavilion in Glasgow. The Scottish authority and the UN Women hosted the event to discuss the importance of women's leadership in addressing the climate change and its gendered impacts.
Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, UN Under-Secretary-General and UN Women Executive Director Sima Sami Bahous, Estonian Prime Minister KajaKallas, Tanzanian President SamiaSuluhu and Iceland Prime Minister KatrinJakobsdottir, among others, were present in the event. In the declaration, the women leaders said, "Climate change is an urgent human rights issue posing a serious risk to the fundamental rights to life, health, food, water and sanitation, decent work and an adequate standard of living of individuals and communities across the world. Climate change exacerbates existing inequalities, including gender inequality."
They believe that the fight against climate change must closely be connected to the fight against gender inequality, and agree that ensuring women's and girls' leadership is vital if global efforts to tackle climate change are to succeed, they said. They opined that the women and girls are commonly disproportionately affected by the climate change and face greater risks and burdens from its impacts, particularly in situations of poverty. "Despite increased vulnerability to climate impacts, we recognize that women and girls have been creating and leading innovative climate solutions at all levels. One of the great injustices of the climate crisis is that the people and countries who are worst affected are those who have contributed at least to its causes," they said.
They continued: "We therefore call for all climate actions to recognize the differentiated impact of climate change by factors such as age, gender, disability and location, and ensure women's and girls' voice and agency and their full and effective participation and leadership in policy and decision - making at community, national and international levels, and increase ambition in all sectors."
 

Rohingyas in Bangladesh camps in fear after spate of murders

Human Rights Report:
Bloodstains still mark the spot where killed Mohib Ullah, a leading voice for the 850,000 Rohingyas living in fear in different camps in Bangladesh, was brutally killed by unidentified killers.
In the weeks since the murder, another senior member of the now-shellshocked volunteer group that Mohib Ullah headed has received phone calls telling him he'll be the next. And he's not alone.
'They can hunt you down the way they have brazenly shot dead our leader and so many people,' Noor, too frightened to give his real name or be filmed, told AFP.
'They', he believes, are members of the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army, an insurgent group fighting the Myanmar military but also thought to be behind a wave of killings and criminal activity in the camps.
Most of the Rohingya have been in the camps since 2017 when they fled a brutal military offensive in Buddhist-majority Myanmar, where the predominantly Muslim minority are reviled and seen as illegal immigrants. Refusing to go back until they are assured of security and equal rights, the Rohingyas remain stuck in bamboo-and-tarp shacks with no work, poor sanitation and little education for their children.
Overflowing latrines fill narrow mud lanes with excrement in monsoon season, and fires can rip through the flimsy homes in minutes during the hot summers. By day the Bangladesh authorities provide some security. But at night the camps become the domain of gangs - allegedly linked to ARSA - that traffic millions of dollars worth of methamphetamine from Myanmar. 'The scenario is different as soon as the sun sets,' Israfil, a Rohingya who goes by one name, told AFP.
'The dark time is the long hours when they do whatever they want to do,' he added. Working among the chaos and unease in the camps, Mohib Ullah and his colleagues quietly documented the crimes that his people suffered at the hands of the Myanmar military, while pressing for better conditions.
The former schoolteacher shot to prominence in 2019 when he organised a protest of around 100,000 people in the camps to mark two years since their exodus.
That year he met United States president Donald Trump in the White House and addressed a UN meeting in Geneva. But his fame appears to have gone down badly with ARSA.
They saw Mohib Ullah as threatening their place as the sole voice representing the Rohingya - one who was opposed to their violence, his colleagues and rights activists say.
'He became a thorn in ARSA's side,' said Nur Khan Liton, a top rights activist in Bangladesh.
'ARSA was also frightened by his enormous popularity.'
Three weeks after Mohib Ullah's murder in late September, gunmen and machete-wielding attackers slaughtered seven people in an Islamic seminary that had allegedly refused to pay protection money to ARSA.
'The brutal carnage bore all the marks of ARSA. The group previously slaughtered at least two top Islamic clerics because they didn't back ARSA's violent struggle,' said a top expatriate Rohingya activist.
'ARSA has carried out the murders to establish its full control in the camps.

Migrants in spotlight for pope's eastern Mediterranean trip
 

Human Rights Report:

Since becoming the head of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis has sought to hammer home his philosophy on migrants: 'Welcome, protect, promote, and integrate'.
In returning to the Greek island of Lesbos this week, Francis hopes to refocus the world's attention on an unresolved migrant crisis, which has become one of his highest priorities.
The pontiff used his weekly Angelus prayer on Sunday to express his pain over the recent drowning of 27 migrants in the English Channel and those blocked in desperate conditions at the border between Belarus and Poland.
In a video message a day earlier, he said the Mediterranean had become a 'huge cemetery' for migrants, deploring that refugees in Europe receive not 'hospitality but hostility and even exploitation'.
The pope, himself from a family of Italians who settled in Argentina, has since the beginning of his mandate in 2013 advocated welcoming thousands of 'brothers and sisters', whether for religious, economic or political reasons.
On December 5, Francis is set to return to Lesbos, where in 2016 he made the unprecedented move of bringing back on his plane three Syrian Muslim families whose homes had been bombed.
He may repeat the gesture in Cyprus.
According to the Cypriot government, negotiations are underway with the Vatican to organise the transfer to Rome of migrant families currently on the Mediterranean island.

US, 6 allies seek arms boycott of Myanmar
 

Human Rights Report:
Myanmar junta sacks generals, threatens jail for buyers of bonds
Agence France-Presse . Washington | Published: 00:12, Nov 28,2021
Fearing 'future atrocities' in Myanmar, the United States and six allies Friday urged the military junta to end all violence in the country, while pressing other states to halt military aid to Yangon.
'We reiterate our grave concern over reports of ongoing human rights violations and abuses by the Myanmar Security Forces across the country,' said the joint statement, also signed by Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway and South Korea. 'We call on the international community to suspend all operational support to the military, and to cease the transfer of arms' as well as any 'technical assistance' to Myanmar forces, the statement added.
It cited 'credible reports of sexual violence and torture, especially in Chin State' in western Myanmar, as well as in the central regions of Sagaing and Magwe.
'In Chin State,' the statement said, 'it is reported the military has burned homes, churches and an orphanage in Thantlang village, and has targeted humanitarian organisations.'
The seven countries expressed concern 'about allegations of weapons stockpiling and attacks by the military, including shelling and airstrikes, use of heavy weapons, and the deployment of thousands of troops' in ostensible 'counterterrorism operations, which are disproportionately impacting civilians.'
