| Presentan informes sobre Salud Sexual y Reproductiva en el Colmex
Permanece alto el nivel de Muerte Materna en México
Por Gladis Torres Ruiz
México, D.F 2 sep 10 (CIMAC).- En México la razón de Muerte Materna (MM) es cinco veces mayor a la de países industrializados; en 2009 se registraron 818 muertes por cada 100 mil nacidos vivos, y el 90 por ciento de esas muertes eran prevenibles; por lo que el Objetivo del Desarrollo del Milenio (ODM) de reducir la MM a más de la mitad para 2015, no va a ser alcanzado, afirmaron especialistas.
En el Colegio de México (Colmex); José Luis Palma Cabrera, director general de Investigación en Salud Demográfica (Insad), afirmó que a pesar de que la MM ha disminuido de manera constante desde la década de los años 50, el nivel permanece alto y se exacerba en la región menos desarrollada del país.
Es decir, en los estados de Guerrero, Oaxaca, y Chiapas, donde la razón es de 93.7 MM por cada 100 mil nacidos vivos, es cerca del doble a la observada a nivel nacional, debido a la distribución desigual de los recursos y de los proveedores de salud, mismos que se concentran en zonas urbanas como el Distrito Federal.
Durante la presentación de los informes: “Las Necesidades de Salud Sexual y Reproductiva de las Adolescentes en México: retos y Oportunidades” y “Barreras para la Maternidad Segura en México”; las y los especialistas coincidieron en que si bien se ha trabajado para disminuir la MM, los esfuerzos han sido insuficientes.

Pentagon declined to investigate hundreds of purchases of child pornography
By John Cook
A 2006 Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigation into the purchase of child pornography online turned up more than 250 civilian and military employees of the Defense Department -- including some with the highest available security clearance -- who used credit cards or PayPal to purchase images of children in sexual situations. But the Pentagon investigated only a handful of the cases, Defense Department records show.
The cases turned up during a 2006 ICE inquiry, called Project Flicker, which targeted overseas processing of child-porn payments. As part of the probe, ICE investigators gained access to the names and credit card information of more than 5,000 Americans who had subscribed to websites offering images of child pornography. Many of those individuals provided military email addresses or physical addresses with Army or fleet ZIP codes when they purchased the subscriptions.
In a related inquiry, the Pentagon's Defense Criminal Investigative Service (DCIS) cross-checked the ICE list against military databases to come up with a list of Defense employees and contractors who appeared to be guilty of purchasing child pornography. The names included staffers for the secretary of defense, contractors for the ultra-secretive National Security Agency, and a program manager at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. But the DCIS opened investigations into only 20 percent of the individuals identified, and succeeded in prosecuting just a handful.

Women's group wants public inquiry into Pickton murders
'Apologies are not good enough'
Dave White
VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Vancouver's Rape Relief and Women's Shelter is slamming the VPD's report into the Robert Pickton murders, saying apologies and hindsight aren't good enough. It's renewing a demand for a public inquiry into the Downtown Eastside's missing women.
The group's Lee Lakewood accuses Vancouver Police of having a systemic bias against women and Aboriginals. She says a public inquiry, encouraged by all levels of government, is the only way to get the ball rolling on policy changes in the criminal justice system and getting rid of prejudice in prostitution laws.
Lakewood feels last week's apology by the VPD isn't going to fix anything. "There are still men driving into the Downtown Eastside and now driving up and down Kingsway, picking up women and they are being ignored by the police at this hour."
She argues an internal police investigation has barely scratched the surface in learning what really went wrong on the Downtown Eastside.

ESPECIAL IV INFORME DE GOBIERNO
Graves violaciones a DH en últimos 4 años: activistas
Crímenes y violencia contra las mujeres, distinguen al gobierno
Por Anayeli García Martínez
México, D.F., 2 sep 10 (CIMAC).- La persistencia y aumento del hostigamiento a defensores de Derechos Humanos, (DH) crímenes contra periodistas, y violencia contra las mujeres, reflejan que el Programa Nacional de Derechos Humanos (PNDH), implementado por Felipe Calderón “es una herramienta que no ha logrado avances significativos”.
De acuerdo con un balance hecho por Karime Suri, coordinadora del Área política, social y de DH de Incide Social, Organización No Gubernamental (ONG) con amplio trabajo en la investigación y capacitación en políticas y desarrollo social de derechos humanos, indica que hasta ahora no se ha cumplido con el objetivo de favorecer las políticas públicas en materia de DH.
Mencionó que mientras las organizaciones de la sociedad civil han pugnado por establecer mecanismos y estándares en materia de DH, el anterior secretario de Gobernación, Fernando Gómez Mont, se dedicó a descalificar el trabajo de las y los defensores.
Un hecho grave, consideró, si se toma en cuenta que esa dependencia tiene a su cargo la Unidad Para la Promoción y Defensa de los Derechos Humanos (UPDDH).

La economía de la violencia
“Prefiero que me llame Madame”, me dijo Soraya, la tratante de mujeres y adolescentes en Bangkok, cuando le pregunté cómo se define quien, como ella, entrena y controla a las mujeres sometidas a la industria del sexo comercial en la capital de Tailandia. Es una filipina bajita y delgada de 40 años, viste un sarong de seda y maquillaje recargado. Los ojos vacíos de emociones contrastan con las manos que se mueven mientras argumenta los beneficios de la industria del turismo sexual.

California Governor Signs AB 1050!
(Requires family courts, if child wishes, to allow child over 14 to give testimony re custody, visitation)
for text of law see: www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/asm/ab_1001-1050/ab_1050_bill_20100827_chaptered.html
BREAKING NEWS: Last Friday, Governor Schwarzenegger signed AB 1050 into law! This historic legislation took over 18 months to reach the Governor's desk. We couldn't have passed this bill without your help sending letters, faxes, and making phone calls to legislators and the Governor! This is a great victory for children and protective parents across the state.
AB 1050 will allow children 14 and older to testify in family court, giving them a much needed voice in proceedings that greatly impact their lives. This is a first-of-its-kind measure and will change the limitations on children testifying, once it becomes effective on January 1, 2012.
For the past 18 months, CJE, CPPA and our allies worked closely with Assemblywoman Fiona Ma and her Legislative Director Eric Dang to guide this bill through the legislative process, working to build a broad-based coalition of support to ensure the bill's passage. Thank you to everyone who contributed their efforts to ensure that AB 1050 reached the Governor's desk and that he signed this historic bill into law. We needed to compromise in order to get this bill passed, so we see it as a starting point, and we anticipate pushing for future improvements to the law as we are able to.

Reproductive Rights
A First Look Back at the 2010 State Legislative Session
Every year, anti-choice state legislators propose measures intended to restrict women's access to abortion, including mandatory delays, biased counseling provisions and other burdensome and unnecessary requirements. On average, more than six hundred bills are proposed annually and dozens are passed, making it increasingly difficult for women in many states to access abortion.
This year has been one of the most challenging state legislative sessions for women's access to abortion in many years. States considered and enacted some of the most extreme restrictions on abortion in recent memory, as well as passing laws creating dozens of other significant new hurdles. At the same time, pro-choice legislators, advocates and governors continued to stand up for women's health and rights and in many cases defeated harmful legislation.
As we begin to assess the impact of the 2010 session on women's access to reproductive healthcare, the Center offers this preliminary recap of some of the major trends and most onerous laws enacted this session.

Feminists on the Frontline: Case Studies of Resisting and Challenging Fundamentalisms
This collection of case studies is a testament to the women and men around the world who have stood up to reject the imposition of norms and values in the name of religion as well as to expose and challenge the privileged position given to religion in public policies.
In 2008 AWID launched a call for proposals to document the strategies of women's rights activists confronting religious fundamentalisms. The final 18 case studies presented here are drawn from a wide range of religious and geographical contexts, and cover various fields of activism.
We hope that this collection will inspire, inform and encourage discussion and debate. Please visit this page again for updates, as finalized case studies and a brief summary of each case study will be posted on a rolling basis. We will also soon be posting a paper that introduces the trends and themes that are threaded through the various case studies.

Training
Prosecuting Crimes of Sexual Violence
Successfully prosecuting crimes of sexual violence requires specialized knowledge and the ability to analyze and explain complex legal, medical, and scientific issues while overcoming myths about sexual assault and sexual assault victims. The National Institute on the Prosecution of Sexual Violence II (NIPSVII) is a three and one-half day advanced training course designed to provide prosecutors who have previously attended the original NIPSV or NIPSVI with the training, resources, and skills necessary to overcome emerging legal issues and challenges to successfully prosecute these difficult cases. NIPSVII delves more deeply into the concepts addressed during NIPSVI and integrates such complicated dynamics as campus sexual assault, sexually exploited victims, and victims with disabilities.
NIPSVII utilizes a highly interactive team format to engage and challenge prosecutors while providing them the opportunity to collaborate with their peers to develop more effective prosecution strategies. Attendees will also work closely with expert faculty including prosecutors, advocates, and other national experts to examine and promote the application of promising practices being implemented by other jurisdictions across the country. In addition to victim-centered, offender-focused prosecution practices, participants will enhance their understanding of criminalistics, DNA, and computer forensics as they work through complex case files based on actual cases. Attendees will also be encouraged to develop unique strategies and policies to increase victim participation and overcome defense tactics devised to bias juries and judges. Participants will leave NIPSVII prepared to engage in local multidisciplinary training and encourage innovative system-wide approaches while implementing more effective case evaluation, investigation, and preparation techniques to achieve justice in sexual violence cases.

GUATEMALA - COMMUNITY-BASED WOMEN WORKERS ADDRESS
GENDER VIOLENCE, FEMICIDE, RIGHTS, HEALTH, EDUCATION
The Problem
Guatemala is facing epidemic levels of violence against women. Over the past decade, almost 4,000 women and young girls have been murdered. Many of them were raped and mutilated, their bodies discarded in public places. Despite the high prevalence of femicide (the gender-based murder of women) and gender-based violence in Guatemala, little has been done to counter it. These attacks are rarely investigated and fewer than one percent of cases have been brought to trial.
Neo-liberal economic policies have lined the pockets of agribusinesses and have driven farmers and small-business owners into low-paying, high-risk jobs at maquilas (sweatshops) in the cities. Without the protection of unions, Guatemala's 80,000 maquila workers suffer deplorable conditions and earn subsistence wages. The massive exodus from the countryside has also forced families to live in impoverished settlements on the outskirts of Guatemala City, where people lack access to basic human rights such as clean drinking water, sanitation and health care.

Consumir prostitución, ¿un crimen?
Valeria Perasso
BBC Mundo, Argentina
Las cifras dan señal de alarma: en menos de dos años, 700 jóvenes y niñas desaparecieron en el entramado de presuntas redes de proxenetismo en Argentina. Un promedio de dos por día, en un país que se ha convertido, a la vez, en lugar de tránsito y destino para la prostitución ilegal.
Redes inextricables de dinero y poder, de corrupción y connivencia, de esclavitud y dominación. Según la Organización de Naciones Unidas, la trata es el tercer comercio ilegal global después del narcotráfico y la venta de armas. Y va en aumento.
Para revertirlo, el Congreso argentino debate cómo modificar la vigente Ley de Prevención y Sanción de la Trata de Personas, que no por nueva –fue sancionada en abril de 2008- parece estar a tono con la época, según denuncian organizaciones no gubernamentales que trabajan en la materia.
El debate incluye una propuesta polémica: sancionar el consumo de prostitución como un modo de frenar la captación forzada de mujeres. Más precisamente, penalizar a los clientes que entreguen "dinero o bienes" a cambio de servicios sexuales.

Hundreds of others face charges or disciplinary action as the government attempts to modernize the force and eliminate corruption, part of its war against drug cartels.
Reporting from Mexico City —
About 3,200 Mexican federal police officers, nearly a tenth of the force, have been fired this year under new rules designed to weed out crooked cops and modernize law enforcement, officials said Monday.

Esperan reparación miles de andinas y quechua hablantes
Dramática lentitud de justicia peruana para víctimas de violación
De la redacción
México, D.F 27 ago 10 (CIMAC).- De las 893 mujeres víctimas de violación sexual, entre 1980 y el 2000, reconocidas por el gobierno Peruano, 146 han muerto sin alcanzar la justicia y reparación del daño, ya que ninguno de sus agresores, en su gran mayoría militares, han sido juzgados y sancionados, denunció Diana Portal, abogada de la organización: Estudio para la Defensa y los Derechos de la Mujer (Demus).
En un comunicado, la abogada afirmó que esta es la consecuencia más dramática de la falta de voluntad política del gobierno por atender esta violencia perpetrada contra miles de peruanas durante los tiempos del conflicto armado interno que sacudió el país.
“Los tiempos de la justicia son demasiado lentos. ¿Cuánto más tenemos que esperar para que las mujeres vulneradas en su integridad sexual puedan recibir una reparación integral que contemple la atención a su salud mental, montos económicos y acceso a la educación para sus hijas e hijos?”, dijo.

Clinton Condemns Mass Rape Of Women, Children In Congo; U.N. Investigation Continues
Friday, August 27, 2010
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday condemned the mass rape of women and children in the Democratic Republic of Congo and vowed U.S. help, Reuters reports (Allen, 8/26).
"This horrific attack is yet another example of how sexual violence undermines efforts to achieve and maintain stability in areas torn by conflict but striving for peace," Clinton said in a statement released by the State Department. "Sexual violence harms more than its immediate victims. It denies and destroys our common dignity, it shreds the fabric that weaves us together as humans, it endangers families and communities, it erodes social and political stability, and it undermines economic progress. These travesties, committed with impunity against innocent civilians who play no role in armed conflict, hold us all back" (8/25).
In October 2009, Clinton presided over the U.N. Security Council Session where the U.N. passed a resolution that condemned sexual violence and noted "the importance of preventing and responding to sexual violence as a tactic of war against civilians," Reuters adds.
"Clinton said it was now time for member-nations to go beyond that resolution with specific steps to protect civilians from sexual violence and prosecute those who committed them," RTTNews reports. "She vowed the United States would do everything it could to work with the U.N. and the DRC government 'to hold the perpetrators of these acts accountable, and to create a safe environment for women, girls, and all civilians living in the eastern Congo,'" the news service adds (8/26).

Estados Unidos: Práctica sistemática, de violación y abusos sexuales en centros de detención de emigrantes
Denuncia de Human Rights Watch
México, DF., 27 ago. 10. AmecoPress/Cimac.- Ante los múltiples casos de violación y abuso sexual de mujeres y niños migrantes en centros de detención de Estados Unidos, Human Rights Watch (HRW) dirigió 14 recomendaciones al gobierno de ese país, para garantizar que estos hechos no se repitan.
Entre las recomendaciones, que HRW señala en su informe “Detenidas y en riesgo: Abuso sexual y acoso en los centros de detención de inmigrantes de Estados Unidos”, destaca que las autoridades de esa nación deben aprobar normas de detención que sean obligatorias y se apliquen en todos los centros de detención de personas migrantes.
