As a result, the inclusive language was included in the last edition adopted by the General Assembly. The suggestion of using the word human in place of a male word was by Dr. Hansa Mehta, the Indian Ambassador.

• Decision for eradication of discrimination against women, 1967: Due to efforts to strengthen the standards on women’s rights, the General Assembly requested the Commission (CSW) to draft this manifesto on the status of women.

Hansa Mehta, in 1946, led the rights of Indian women, at the All India Women’s Conference (AIWC).

In this, with gender equality, there was a demand for the civil rights of women in India and justice for them.

Many provisions of this women’s rights charter, in the Indian Constitution, became the basis of many gender fair provisions.

Dr. Hansa Mehta was a member of the committee that prepared the draft of the Indian Constitution, as well as a member of the Advisory Committee on Fundamental Rights.

Doctor Hansa Mehta Smriti Dialogue has a 2025 theme – “Global South and Women Leadership: Hansa Mehta Framework for inclusive diplomacy”.

Razidant Coordinator and Humanitarian Coordinator Clementen Nuetta-Salami has expressed deep concern over the news of the destruction of homes and livelihoods in North Darfur.

“Common citizens are paying its price. It is almost impossible to reach the Zamzam camp, at a time when people need the most support. We need a humanitarian path unrelauded to provide life saving help. “

Sudan has a violent conflict between the armed forces and the paramilitary force (RSF) since April 2023, causing a large -scale humanitarian crisis in the country. The Zamzam camp, built for the displaced, is located about 15 km from the city of Al Fashar, the capital of North Darfur province.

Last week, UN Food Program (Wfp) It was said that children are already dying in this camp and thousands of people can be victims of hunger in the coming weeks. Due to heavy bombing, it has been forced to stop humanitarian aid here.

Enemies became a partner

On 15 April 2023, there was a barrier in the process of restoring civil rule in Sudan, and violent conflicts between the armed forces and paramilitary forces (RSF) would begin, while the first two sides had mutual cooperation.

The Sudani Army has control over the northern and eastern regions, while RSF militia and its associate groups have occupied Darfur provinces and parts of the south located in the western region.

This life -saving assistance has been released in Africa, Asia and Latin America, to deal with the world’s 10 lowest funded and neglected crises.

More than 30 million people worldwide need immediate humanitarian aid, but due to decrease in the assistance every year, this amount is expected to reach a record low level.

Tom Flature, the under-general secretary of human affairs and emergency relief coordinator, has said, “For countries struggling with war, climate change and economic upheaval, a huge deduction in money does not mean that human needs will end.”

“This emergency fund allocation, resources will be able to reach the most needy places fast.”

One third of this emergency money allocation will be of Sudan and neighboring Chad.

The report expressed concern that a woman or girl is being killed by a family member or intimate partner every 10 minutes.

Sexual disparities have deepened in the digital world, promoting harmful trends on artificial intelligence and social media platforms, while women and girls do not get proper representation in digital and technology sector.

In the last decade, the number of women and girls who has been hit by violent conflict has increased by 50 percent, women rights activists are suffering harassment and cases of personal attacks and killing them have increased.

According to the UN agency, not only the progress is slowing down due to crises like Kovid-19, rising food and fuel prices and democratic institutions, but the direction of progress recorded so far is also reversing.

Beijing +30, progressed so far

From the perspective of women’s rights in the year 2025, there is a 30th anniversary of the important Beijing manifesto, which is a veteran roadmap to carry forward their rights. According to the latest report, it is important to understand the progress made under it.

UN general secretary While informing journalists in New York on Thursday, Anantonio Guterres spokesman Stephan Dujrik said that more than half of the population in Afghanistan, that is, about 2.3 crore people need humanitarian assistance.

From the point of view of the number of needy in the world -affected countries around the world, Afghanistan is second after Sudan. About three crore people in Sudan need help and protection.

After the establishment of the Taleban in August 2021 on the power of Afghanistan, there is a crisis for human rights in the country and the situation for women is particularly bad. The level of food security and malnutrition is very bad.

According to an analysis, about 1.5 crore people, ie one in every three, is suffering from high levels of food insecurity during the first quarter of this year.

About 35 lakh children under the age of five, more than 10 lakh pregnant and breastfeeding women are at risk of getting a victim of early malnutrition.

Explosive material is spread in many areas of the country, which is a deadly threat to the local population. Every month, due to the grip of these Ordnance residues, more than 50 children are casualties, most of which are children.

In these circumstances, United Nations agencies have maintained their presence in the country and have ensured various types of services and assistance for the needy.

Challenge for support efforts

Due to the cut in human assistance funds, the challenge stems for efforts to help the most needy. During the last one month, more than 200 health centers have been closed, which has deprived of 18 lakh people, essential health services.

Malnutrition treatment services for children have also been affected. According to the UN Humanitarian Office, the reduction in the help of aid will affect the lives and livelihoods and the progress in the development sector will be weak.

The United Nations, with its partner organizations, is giving shape to its new priorities, so that the needy communities and areas can be reached.

Under this, it will also be important to make necessary preparations to increase the number of people returning to Afghanistan from neighboring countries, preparations according to the requirements produced by floods and heavy rains.

Meanwhile, the Central Emergency Response Fund (Cerf) Surrounded by a horrific crisis, but allocated a assistance of $ 11 million for the victims of neglect. There is also Afghanistan in these countries, for which $ 1.9 million has been provided.

Apart from this, an additional amount of $ 300 million will be provided under the Afghanistan Humanist Fund, so that support for life saving priorities in the country can be provided.

The UN Health Agency said on Wednesday that necessary prevention, investigation and treatment services are collapsing, causing millions of people to risk.

The most affected areas include Africa, South-East Asia and Western Pacific, as in these countries, the national TB programs, most depend on international aid.

Who “Any obstacles related to financial, political or operational in TB services can lead to disastrous and often fatal consequences for millions of people around the world,” said Tareza Kasaiwa, director of global TB and lung health programs, said, “Tareza Kasaiwa said.

United Nations Secretary -General Antonio Guteresh Last week, expressing concern over the assistance cuts in health programs, it was feared to have a direct impact on diseases like HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and cholera.

Serious blow

In the last two decades, more than 7.9 crore people have been saved through global programs to deal with TB. Only last year, about 36.5 lakh people have left death from death.

Financial assistance given by the US government has played an important role in this success. About 20 to 25 million dollars of financial assistance has been provided by the US every year, which is about one-fourth of the total international finance assistance.

The United States has been the largest bilateral donor so far in the fight against TB.

However, under the new executive orders issued by the new government of America, the new finance deductions declared for 2025, at least 18 high-loving countries are likely to have a devastating effect on TB Karvai.

89 percent of American aid was allocated to take care of patients in these countries.

This will have the most impact on Africa, where treatment of treatment and removal of employees, can lead to a huge increase in TB infection rate.

Heavy burden

The initial news received from TB affected countries shows that already lack of financial resources, the necessary health services are weakening.

The most serious concerns include the removal of health workers from work and employment, lack of drugs and obstacles in supply beams, collapse of data and monitoring systems, and obstacles in TB research and funding.

Doctor Tareza Kasayeva warned, “If action is not taken immediately, the progress obtained against TB will be in danger.”

“Our collective response should be fast, strategic and fully resourceful so that the weakest people can be protected and the pace towards ending TB.”

Appeal for immediate action

WHO reiterated its commitment to support governments and global partners in the fight against TB.

The agency said, “In these challenging circumstances, the national governments, civil society and global partners are fully committed to cooperate in ensuring sustainable financing and integrated solutions to protect the health and welfare of the most sensitive people towards TB.”
