Women with Disabilities in the Europe and Eurasia Region

Women with Disabilities in the Europe and Eurasia Region

socialtransitions.kdid.org –

The USAID E&E Bureau’s Social Transition Team is pleased to release the new publication, Women with Disabilities in the Europe and Eurasia Region. Across the E&E region, the socialist legacy of treatment of people with disabilities (PWD) has created a largely invisible segment of the population, confined to their homes or hidden away in institutions. Regardless of where they reside, the majority of people with disabilities live on the margins of society. They are socially isolated, more...

Domestic Violence in Europe and Eurasia, 2012 Update

socialtransitions.kdid.org –

The E&E Team is pleased to announce the release of a new report, Domestic Violence in Europe and Eurasia, 2012 Update. Despite the stress of the world economic collapse on individuals and institutions alike, progress has been made during the past six years in most countries in the E&E region toward addressing domestic violence (DV). However, domestic violence data remain notoriously difficult to confirm and compare; DV continues to be underreported at every level. This report more...

Disourse on prostitution and human trafficking

lastradainternational.org –

This study focuses on the themes of sex work, sex tourism and human trafficking in the UEFA EURO 2012 host countries, Poland and Ukraine. The study expressly aims to help prevent sensationalist media reporting that might lead to a deterioration of the working and living conditions of sex workers. It also opposes the portrayal of UEFA EURO 2012 as a cause of violations of women’s rights, such as abduction, trafficking and rape.

Resource flows and levels of spending for the response to HIV and AIDS in Belarus

Resource flows and levels of spending for the response to HIV and AIDS in Belarus

biomedcentral.com –

Whereas Belarus has a focused HIV epidemic concentrated among injecting drug users, female sex workers and men who have sex with men, this paper argues that, until 2008, Belarus had no way of evaluating HIV spending priorities. This comprehensive National AIDS Spending Assessment (NASA) analyses HIV spending priorities. The authors used the NASA approach to 'follow the money' from the funding sources to agents and providers, and eventually to beneficiary populations. Belarus spent the majority more...

socialtransitions.kdid.org –

The Europe and Eurasia Bureau’s Social Transition Team is pleased to announce the release of a new publication -- The Other Side of the Gender Equation: Gender Issues for Men in the Europe and Eurasia Region.

No justice for journalists in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia

No justice for journalists in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia

The report documents impunity for violence and disappearances of journalists from Belarus, Russia and Ukraine over the last decade. Examinations of a number of cases of journalists who have disappeared and/or been killed in connection with their work have shown that the lack of effective investigations leads to a climate of impunity with a detrimental effect on freedom of expression.

In comparison, from January 2010 till January 2011 Belarusian internet population grew by 16%, gaining almost half a million internet users (according to gemiusAudience study).
