UNICEF: Summer youth camps promote peace in Northern Caucusus

MOSCOW, Russia, 24 September 2007 -- Tolerance, peace and living in a multi-ethnic society were the themes of five summer camps organized by UNICEF and local authorities in four of Russia's North Caucasian republics -- Ingushetia, Dagestan, North Ossetia and Kabardino-Balkaria. Over 500 children took part in the programme this year. Since the early 1990s, each republic in the North Caucasus has been touched by ethnic and military conflicts. Hostilities between the Ossetians and the Ingush, for example, left thousands dead and tens of thousands displaced. "While we also teach tolerance and peace in schools, at the camps children have practical experience about what this means," explained UNICEF's Head of Office in the North Caucasus, Rashed Mustafa. "They come into contact with their peers from other nationalities, and this strengthens their belief that tolerance is both needed and is possible."

NEW YORK, USA, 13 September 2007 -- The world has reached an important milestone on child survival. For the first time in modern history, the number of children dying before the age of five has fallen below 10 million per year. New survey figures reported by UNICEF today show solid progress, with worldwide child deaths at a record low of 9.7 million per year -- down from almost 13 million in 1990. UNICEF Executive Director Ann M. Veneman called the new figures "historic" but also stressed the work that remains to be done. "The loss of 9.7 million young lives each year is unacceptable," she said. "Most of these deaths are preventable and, as recent progress shows, the solutions are tried and tested."

NEW YORK, USA, 1 August 2007 – The results of a study conducted in Ghana show that breastfeeding babies as early as within the first hour of birth can save hundreds of thousands of infants’ lives in developing countries. “The very first milk mothers secrete immediately after birth contains a great deal of substance, which no infant formula can provide,” explained UNICEF Chief of Nutrition Werner Schultink. “It contains a specific amount of carbohydrates, fats and proteins – ideal for the newborn. The protective factor of the breast milk is so unique, it’s basically the first immunization the child gets in his or her life.” To read the full story, visit: http://www.unicef.org/nutrition/index_40463.html

Wearing a lot of diamonds is known nowadays as ‘blinging.’ In the world of hip-hop, diamonds are a sign that you’ve arrived. No one knows this better than the people featured in the new documentary, ‘Bling: A Planet Rock’. ‘Bling’ was produced as part of the VH1 music network’s Rock Docs franchise, in cooperation with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and its Diamonds for Development initiative, which aims to accelerate development at the local level starting with diamond production zones and governance reform. ‘Bling’ also traces the relationship between diamonds and poverty, and the influence of hip-hop music on global culture. “It’s just ironic that what made black people feel so empowered was completely demoralizing and destroying other black people,” Grammy Award-winning rapper Kanye West notes in the film.

"In Malaysia, more than 37 per cent of the group who are currently infected with HIV are between the ages of 13 and 29," said Gaye Phillips, UNICEF Representative in Malaysia and Special Representative to Singapore and Brunei. "That's a serious population group that we need to look at. Because it shows us that young people are not being well informed." In partnership with UNICEF, the Football Association of Malaysia and the Association for the International Exchange of Students of Economics and Commerce (AIESEC) are working to make youth more aware of the dangers of HIV -- and what they can do to avoid it. The programme complements UNICEF's strategic approach to HIV prevention amongst youth through life skills-based education, youth centres in rural areas and harm reduction for injecting drug users.

Jamila, 12, goes door to door every day selling vegetables. It has been four years since she had to quit school. Jamila is one of many girls from poor families who have been forced to leave their education behind in northern Nigeria, where 40 per cent of school-aged children are not in school. To help face the mounting challenge, the Government of Nigeria, UNICEF and other partners have launched the Girls' Education Project here. Its goals: to get more children to school and reduce gender disparities in primary and secondary education. With $50 million committed by the United Kingdom, the project has had a head start and is quickly gaining momentum.

UNICEF: Summer youth camps promote peace in Northern Caucusus
09/27/07

MOSCOW, Russia, 24 September 2007 -- Tolerance, peace and living in a multi-ethnic society were the themes of five summer camps organized by UNICEF and local authorities in four of Russia's North Caucasian republics -- Ingushetia, Dagestan, North Ossetia and Kabardino-Balkaria. Over 500 children took part in the programme this year. Since the early 1990s, each republic in the North Caucasus has been touched by ethnic and military conflicts. Hostilities between the Ossetians and the Ingush, for example, left thousands dead and tens of thousands displaced. "While we also teach tolerance and peace in schools, at the camps children have practical experience about what this means," explained UNICEF's Head of Office in the North Caucasus, Rashed Mustafa. "They come into contact with their peers from other nationalities, and this strengthens their belief that tolerance is both needed and is possible."
