SUMMARY:World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
DESCRIPTION:Addressing Elder Abuse\nBetween 2019 and 2030\, the number of persons aged 60 years or over is projected to grow by 38%\, from 1 billion to 1.4 billion\, globally outnumbering youth\, and this increase will be the greatest and the most rapid in the developing world\, and recognizing that greater attention needs to be paid to the specific challenges affecting older persons\, including in the field of human rights. \nElder abuse is a problem that exists in both developing and developed countries yet is typically underreported globally. Prevalence rates or estimates exist only in selected developed countries — ranging from 1% to 10%. Although the extent of elder mistreatment is unknown\, its social and moral significance is obvious. As such\, it demands a global multifaceted response\, one which focuses on protecting the rights of older persons. \nApproaches to define\, detect and address elder abuse need to be placed within a cultural context and considered along side culturally specific risk factors. For example\, in some traditional societies\, older widows are subjected to forced marriages while in others\, isolated older women are accused of witchcraft. From a health and social perspectives\, unless both primary health care and social service sectors are well equipped to identify and deal with the problem\, elder abuse will continue to be underdiagnosed and overlooked. \n\nAddressing Gender-Based Violence in Older Age Policy\, Law and Evidence-based Responses\nIn the context of last year’s commemoration of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD)\, the World Health Organization in partnership with Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA)\, Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR)\, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)\, UN WOMEN and with support from the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA)\, published Tackling abuse of older people: five priorities for the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing 2021–2030. The resource outlined key priorities to prevent and respond to abuse of older persons and\, hence\, contribute to improving their health\, well-being and dignity. This year\, the commemoration will provide an update on the implementation of the priorities. \nAhead of the milestone of the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)\, this year’s commemoration of WEAAD will also connect with the year-long campaign to promote and recognise the 75th anniversary. As the month of June of the campaign will focus on showcasing the UDHR by raising awareness on its legacy\, relevance and activism as relates to women’s rights\, the theme of the 2023 WEAAD commemoration in the United Nations Headquarters in New York is entitled Closing the Circle: Addressing Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in Older Age – Policy\, Law and Evidence-based Responses. \n\nDid you know?\n\n\nAround 1 in 6 people 60 years and older experienced some form of abuse in community settings during the past year.\nRates of elder abuse are high in institutions such as nursing homes and long-term care facilities\, with 2 in 3 staff reporting that they have committed abuse in the past year.\nRates of elder abuse have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic.\nElder abuse can lead to serious physical injuries and long-term psychological consequences.\nElder abuse is predicted to increase as many countries are experiencing rapidly ageing populations.\nThe global population of people aged 60 years and older will more than double\, from 900 million in 2015 to about 2 billion in 2050.\n\n\nAgeism affects how we think\, feel and act towards others and ourselves based on age. It imposes powerful barriers to the development of good policies and programmes for older and younger people\, and has profound negative consequences on older adults’ health and well-being. Launched by World Health Organization\, the Combatting Ageism Campaign aims to change the narrative around age and ageing and help create a world for all ages. \n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:International Albinism Awareness Day
DESCRIPTION:What is albinism?\nAlbinism is a rare\, non-contagious\, genetically inherited difference present at birth. In almost all types of albinism\, both parents must carry the gene for it to be passed on\, even if they do not have albinism themselves. The condition is found in both sexes regardless of ethnicity and in all countries of the world. Albinism results in a lack of pigmentation (melanin) in the hair\, skin and eyes\, causing vulnerability to the sun and bright light. As a result\, almost all people with albinism are visually impaired and are prone to developing skin cancer. There is no cure for the absence of melanin that is central to albinism. \nWhile numbers vary\, it is estimated that in North America and Europe 1 in every 17\,000 to 20\,000 people have some form of albinism. The condition is much more prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa\, with estimates of 1 in 1\,400 people being affected in Tanzania  and prevalence as high as 1 in 1\,000 reported for select populations in Zimbabwe and for other specific ethnic groups in Southern Africa. \n\nHealth challenges of people living with albinism\nThe lack of melanin means persons with albinism are highly vulnerable to developing skin cancer. In some countries\, a majority of persons with albinism die from skin cancer between 30 and 40 years of age. Skin cancer is highly preventable when persons with albinism enjoy their right to health. This includes access to regular health checks\, sunscreen\, sunglasses and sun-protective clothing. In a significant number of countries\, these life-saving means are unavailable or inaccessible to them. Consequently\, in the realm of development measures\, persons with albinism have been and are among those “left furthest behind.” Therefore\, they ought to be targeted for human rights interventions in the manner envisioned by the Sustainable Development Goals. \nDue to a lack of melanin in the skin and eyes\, persons with albinism often have permanent visual impairment. They also face discrimination due to their skin colour; as such\, they are often subject to multiple and intersecting discrimination on the grounds of both disability and colour. \n\n\nDid you know?\n\n\n\nAlbinism is a genetic condition inherited from both parents that occurs worldwide\, regardless of ethnicity or gender.\nThe common lack of melanin pigment in the hair\, skin and eyes of people with albinism causes vulnerability to sun exposure\, which can lead to skin cancer and severe visual impairment.\nAs many as 1 in 5\,000 people in Sub-Saharan Africa and 1 in 20\,000 people in Europe and North America have albinism.\nIn some countries people with albinism suffer discrimination\, poverty\, stigma\, violence and even killings.\nIn some countries\, women who give birth to children with albinism are repudiated by their husbands\, and their children abandoned or the victims of infanticide.\nThe movie industry has seldom portrayed people with albinism accurately\, preferring to depict them as villains\, demons or freaks of nature.\nViolence against people with albinism is largely met by social silence and indifference\, and is seldom followed by investigations or the prosecution of perpetrators.\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:World Day Against Child Labour
DESCRIPTION:Social Justice for All. End Child Labour!\nObserved on June 12th\, World Day Against Child Labour is intended to serve as a catalyst for the growing worldwide movement against child labour. Emphasizing the link between social justice and child labour\, the slogan for the World Day in 2023 is ‘Social Justice for All. End Child Labour!’. \nOur joint experience in tackling child labour over the course of the last three decades has demonstrated that child labour can be eliminated\, if the root causes are addressed. More than ever\, it is urgent for all of us to contribute to bringing solutions to people’s daily problems\, and child labour is – possibly – the most visible of these problems. \nWe therefore consider the 2023 World Day Against Child Labour to be a moment for all of us who are committed to ending child labour to demonstrate that change can be achieved when will and determination come together and provide a momentum for efforts to be accelerated in a situation of great urgency. \nThis World Day Against Child Labour\, June 12\, 2023 we are calling for \n\nReinvigorated international action to achieve social justice\, particularly under the envisaged Global Coalition for Social Justice\, with child labour elimination as one of its important elements;\nUniversal ratification of ILO Convention No. 138 on Minimum Age\, which\, together with the universal ratification of ILO Convention No. 182 on Worst Forms of Child Labour achieved in 2020\, would provide all children with legal protection against all forms of child labour;\n\nEffective implementation of the Durban Call to Action. \n\nPrevalence of child labour\nSince 2000\, for nearly two decades\, the world had been making steady progress in reducing child labour. But over the past few years\, conflicts\, crises and the COVID-19 pandemic\, have plunged more families into poverty – and forced millions more children into child labour. Economic growth has not been sufficient\, nor inclusive enough\, to relieve the pressure that too many families and communities feel and that makes them resort to child labour. Today\, 160 million children are still engaged in child labour. That is almost one in ten children worldwide. \nAfrica ranks highest among regions both in the percentage of children in child labour — one-fifth — and the absolute number of children in child labour — 72 million. Asia and the Pacific ranks second highest in both these measures — 7% of all children and 62 million in absolute terms are in child labour in this region. \nThe Africa and the Asia and the Pacific regions together account for almost nine out of every ten children in child labour worldwide. The remaining child labour population is divided among the Americas (11 million)\, Europe and Central Asia (6 million)\, and the Arab States (1 million). In terms of incidence\, 5% of children are in child labour in the Americas\, 4% in Europe and Central Asia\, and 3% in the Arab States. \nWhile the percentage of children in child labour is highest in low-income countries\, their numbers are actually greater in middle-income countries. 9% all children in lower-middle-income countries\, and 7% of all children in upper-middle-income countries\, are in child labour. Statistics on the absolute number of children in child labour in each national income grouping indicate that 84 million children in child labour\, accounting for 56% of all those in child labour\, actually live in middle-income countries\, and an additional 2 million live in high-income countries. \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation
DESCRIPTION:Ending Female Genital Mutilation by 2030\nFemale genital mutilation (FGM) comprises all procedures that involve altering or injuring the female genitalia for non-medical reasons and is recognized internationally as a violation of the human rights\, the health and the integrity of girls and women. \nGirls who undergo female genital mutilation face short-term complications such as severe pain\, shock\, excessive bleeding\, infections\, and difficulty in passing urine\, as well as long-term consequences for their sexual and reproductive health and mental health. \nAlthough primarily concentrated in 30 countries in Africa and the Middle East\, female genital mutilation is a universal issue and is also practiced in some countries in Asia and Latin America. Female genital mutilation continues to persist amongst immigrant populations living in Western Europe\, North America\, Australia and New Zealand. \nOver the last three decades\, the prevalence of FGM has declined globally. Today\, a girl is one-third less likely to undergo FGM than 30 years ago. However\, sustaining these achievements in the face of humanitarian crises such as disease outbreaks\, climate change\, armed conflict and more could cause a rollback of progress toward achieving gender equality and the elimination of FGM by 2030. \nMore than 200 million girls and women alive today have undergone female genital mutilation. This year\, nearly 4.4 million girls will be at risk of this harmful practice. This equates to more than 12\,000 cases every day. \nWith seven years remaining in this decade of action\, our collective actions must be centered around creating environments where girls and women can exercise their power and choice\, enjoying full rights to health\, education\, and safety. And this is possible through investments in initiatives led by survivors of female genital mutilation who are challenging harmful gender and social norms. Their voices and actions can transform deeply rooted social and gender norms\, allowing girls and women to realize their rights and potential in terms of health\, education\, income\, and equality. \nTo promote the elimination of female genital mutilation\, coordinated and systematic efforts are needed\, and they must engage whole communities and focus on human rights\, gender equality\, sexual education and attention to the needs of women and girls who suffer from its consequences. \n\n2024 Theme: Her Voice. Her Future\nInvesting in Survivors-Led Movements to End Female Genital Mutilation\nIn 2012\, the UN General Assembly designated February 6th as the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation\, with the aim to amplify and direct the efforts on the elimination of this practice. \nFor more than a decade\, the Joint Programme has supported survivors of FGM\, prioritizing investments in survivor-led initiatives\, centered around empowerment\, agency and access to essential services. \nThere is an urgent need for even more targeted\, coordinated and sustained and concerted efforts if we are to achieve our common goal of ending female genital mutilation by 2030. Every survivor’s voice is a call to action\, and every choice they make in reclaiming their lives contributes to the global movement to end this harmful practice. \nJoin us on 6 February 2024 in our call to action. Share with the world how you support #HerVoiceMatters in leading the #EndFGM movement. \nUN Action\nAlthough the practice has been around for more than a thousand years\, ending female genital mutilation within this generation is still possible if we accelerate our progress 10 time faster. That is why the United Nations strives for its full elimination by 2030\, following the spirit of Sustainable Development Goal 5. \nSince 2008\, UNFPA\, jointly with UNICEF\, leads the largest global programme to accelerate the elimination of female genital mutilation. The Joint Programme currently focuses on 17 countries in Africa and the Middle East and also supports regional and global initiatives. \nOver the years\, this partnership has seen significant achievements. As of last year\, the Joint Programme supported more than 11\,000 organizations\, of which 83 per cent were grassroots organizations partnering with coalitions and survivor-led movements\, advocating for changes in policies and laws\, and championing changes to social and gender norms. [source: 2022 Annual Report on FGM). \n#EndFGM \n\n\nDid You Know?\n\n\n\nThere are over 200 million girls and women alive today who are survivors of FGM.\nGirls are today one third less likely to be subjected to FGM compared to 30 years ago; however\, progress needs to be at least 10 times faster to meet the global target of FGM elimination by 2030.\nIn 2024\, nearly 4.4 million girls – or more than 12\,000 each day – are at risk of female genital mutilation around the world.\n1 in 4 survivors underwent female genital mutilation by a health worker.\nDaughters of FGM survivors are at significant higher risk to undergo FGM compared to daughters of women who have not undergone FGM.\nThe financial cost of health care for FGM survivors is USD 1.4 billion every year.\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:World Interfaith Harmony Week
DESCRIPTION:Uniting for peace\nWorld Interfaith Harmony Week is an annual event observed during the first week of February\, since the General Assembly designation in 2010. The General Assembly pointed out that mutual understanding and interreligious dialogue constitute important dimensions of a culture of peace and established World Interfaith Harmony Week as a way to promote harmony between all people regardless of their faith. \nRecognizing the imperative need for dialogue among different faiths and religions to enhance mutual understanding\, harmony and cooperation among people\, the General Assembly encourages all States to spread the message of interfaith harmony and goodwill in the world’s churches\, mosques\, synagogues\, temples and other places of worship during that week\, on a voluntary basis and according to their own religious traditions or convictions. \nOrigin and history\nWorld Interfaith Harmony Week (WIHW)\, conceived to promote a culture peace and nonviolence\, was first proposed by King Abdullah II of Jordan at the United Nations in 2010. This was quickly adopted by the UN General Assembly (resolution A/RES/65/5)\, declaring the first week of February each year as World Interfaith Harmony week\, calling on governments\, institutions and civil society to observe it with various programs and initiatives that would promote the aim of the WIHW objectives. \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:The S in ESG
DESCRIPTION:About This Event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSocial metrics are an important indicator of ESG performance. In Part 3 of our Comprehensive ESG Masterclass series\, our ESG experts will take a closer look at the ‘Social’ pillar in ESG and explore the social factors that can affect a company’s ESG performance – from the gender composition of your workforce to the health and safety implications of your product and human rights practices across your supply chain. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHowever\, not all inputs for social metrics can be quantified and data under the social pillar needs to be compiled from across multiple enterprise-wide sources. Join us as we explore how you can identify the social metrics material to your organization\, set KPIs to evaluate social performance\, and leverage digital tools to seamlessly connect diverse sources of social data in your organization and bring them onto a single enterprise-wide platform. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://twitter.com/BM_ESG_Gensuite\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:2nd Asia Pacific Environmental Human Rights Defenders Forum
DESCRIPTION:Environmental human rights defenders (EHRDs) are at the forefront of the triple planetary crises of pollution\, biodiversity loss\, and climate change. All EHRDs\, as individuals and groups who\, in their personal or professional capacity and in a peaceful manner\, strive to protect and promote human rights relating to the environment\, including water\, air\, land\, flora\, and fauna1\, play an essential role in protecting the environment\, supporting the rights of communities to participate in environmental decision making and calling out unsustainable development practices and illegal actions causing environmental harm. Their role is central to realizing the right to a clean\, healthy and sustainable environment: a right that has recently been given universal recognition. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFollowing a landmark resolution adopted at the Human Rights Council in 20212\, on 28 July 2022 the United Nations General Assembly recognized\, for the first time\, that a clean\, healthy\, and sustainable environment is a universal human right3. The General Assembly resolution affirms the importance of a clean\, healthy and sustainable environment for the enjoyment of all human rights\, and calls upon States\, international organizations\, business enterprises\, and other relevant stakeholders to scale up efforts to ensure a clean\, healthy\, and sustainable environment for all. There is no time more critical to support and champion the role of EHRDs than now\, to ensure that the right to a healthy environment is implemented for everyone everywhere. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnvironmental defenders continue to be at the forefront of environmental protection\, holding governments and businesses to account for environmental harms and upholding the rights of those most affected by environmental degradation. Environmental defenders fill a vital gap in spotlighting the inaction of primary duty-bearers. Despite the crucial contribution from environmental human rights defenders\, they are rarely recognised and often neglected as significant drivers of sustainable and just social and environmental progress. Instead of lauding the actions of EHRDs\, they are instead frequently subject to violent attacks and reprisals\, stigmatization\, arbitrary detention\, and lawsuits. Environmental defenders who may be activists\, journalists\, Indigenous peoples\, and members of local communities\, who are at the forefront of sustainable development and good environmental governance\, are often targeted and harassed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmong the 615 human rights defender attacks linked to Business and Human Rights tracked in 2021\, nearly 70% were against climate\, land\, and environmental rights defenders4. Data demonstrated that while attacks against EHRDs happen in every region of the world\, Asia Pacific was the most affected region in 2021 with 247 cases. Most attacks occurred in India (49) and the Philippines (44). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by UNEP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:Ending Poverty in Central Asia: Navigating Uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:Before Central Asia could recover from the impacts of COVID-19 and return to pre-pandemic levels of poverty reduction\, the world was plunged into more uncertainty given the war in Ukraine and rising food and fuel prices.

Speakers will address: \n\n\n\nHow resilient are Central Asian households in the current climate? \n\n\n\n2. How are poverty trends changing and what can the region expect in the near future? \n\n\n\n3. What policies should be prioritized to support the poorest and most vulnerable in Central Asia? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us to learn more and share your views on what it will take to push forward on ending poverty in Central Asia through these difficult times.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by WorldBank\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
