Crisis humanitaria en ENEZUELAV

Hiperinflación y crisis económica

La hiperinflación sume en la miseria a millones de venezolanos. El pasado julio el presidente Nicolás Maduro anunció que quitaría cinco ceros a la moneda nacional que pasará a ser el 'bolívar soberano'. La hiperinflación que padece el país ha provocado que hacer la compra con dinero en e ectivo uera casi imposible. La situación económica actual dificulta el acceso a productos de primera necesidad. La asolina, sin embar o, es prácticamente ratis: con un céntimo de dólar daría para 1,796 alones de asolina, el equivalente a repostar 40 litros de asolina a la semana durante más de tres años.

La selección emenina de EE.UU. pide i ualdad en el útbol.

El equipo nacional de útbol emenino de los EE.UU. demandó a la Federación

de Fútbol el pasado 8 de marzo -Día Internacional de la Mujer- en una corte ederal por discriminación por énero institucionalizada.

De acuerdo al New York Times, existe una ran brecha salarial entre el salario y los bonos que reciben los equipos masculino y emenino. Por ejemplo, en caso de anar la Copa Mundial el equipo masculino recibe 521% más por ju ador que el equipo emenino. Esta situación es inaceptable, particularmente en EE.UU. donde el equipo emenino con tres Copas Mundiales y un Oro Olímpico es el mejor del mundo y el equipo masculino es mediocre.

by JADYN and SIENA SMITH

La cuestión de la brecha salarial debe abordarse no sólo porque a ecta a las vidas de las mejores atletas emeninas de nuestro país, sino porque es un tema central de derechos humanos.

Estas atletas y su lucha nos proporcionan modelos y motivación para se uir sus pasos. Nos muestran que si queremos convertirnos en ju adoras del equipo nacional al ún día, necesitamos continuar su lucha para cerrar la brecha salarial. También nos enseña a luchar por lo que sabemos que es justo y este es un mensaje importante que las niñas y mujeres de todo el mundo deben escuchar.

Los miembros del equipo nacional de útbol emenino de EE.UU. no solo luchan por la i ualdad en el campo de útbol, sino por la i ualdad para todas las mujeres. Es esencial apoyar su causa y trabajar por un mundo más i ualitario, esto es, un mundo más justo.

Freedomo Expression: WhyitMustbeProtected

Freedom o Expression plays a key role in a ree society. It is important to be able to express our own views without ear o censorship or retaliation. The Universal Declaration o Human Ri hts (UDHR) protects this ri ht in Article 19 “Everyonehasthe ri htto reedomo opinionand expression;thisri htincludes reedomtoholdopinionswithout intererenceandtoseek,receiveand impartinormationandideasthrou h anymediaandre ardlesso rontiers.”

The case o Emilio Gutierrez shows how reedom o the press can expose overnment scandals and help ensure elected officials’ accountability. As a journalist in Mexico, Gutiérrez’s investi ative reports exposed corrupt schemes between cartel activity and overnment officials. One ni ht, members o the Mexican military broke into his house and threatened him and his amily. At that point, Gutierrez knew he had to flee the country.

In 2015, the University o Chica o issued a statement on the risks o curtailin reedom o speech: “O course,theideaso different memberso theUniversitycommunity willotenandquitenaturallyconflict. Butitisnottheproperroleo the Universitytoattempttoshield individuals romideasandopinions theyfindunwelcome,disa reeable,or evendeeplyoffensive.”

Freedom o speech must be protected at all costs. Ideas must be allowed to be discussed and debated. Bein exposed to views that differ rom our own widens our perspective o the world and, ultimately, helps us understand each other.

ASYLUM RE THINKING

Crossin an international border to seek asylum is le al. International re u ee law -which the U.S. helped create in the wake o World War II- reco nizes the reality that re u ees o ten aren’t in a position to ollow re ular procedures.

For that reason, the 1951 Re u ee Convention prohibits states rom penalizin asylum seekers based on their manner o entry. Moreover, several human-ri hts or anizations have documented systemic turn-backs at official U.S. ports o entry. In other words, even when asylum seekers have made their way to an official U.S. border crossin and asked or asylum, officials have turned them back into Mexico, in violation o both U.S. treaty obli ations and U.S. law.

"While the administration is sayin people should come here le ally and ollow a le al process, it's makin it impossible to do so," said the IRC's director o Ol a Byrne.

Written by Me an Polom @Man oLan ua es

The written word can convey new ideas, inspire movements, and ampli y otherwise unheard voices. It is or these reasons, amon others, that certain books have sparked passionate debates throu hout history.

Persepolis:TheStoryo aChildhood

Throu h this autobio raphical raphic novel, author Marjane Satrapi tells her story o rowin up in Iran durin the Islamic Revolution. Since its ori inal French publication in 2000, Persepolis has become a cross-cultural hit, translated into multiple lan ua es and hailed by critics around the world. But even with all its critical acclaim and success, Satrapi’s memoir has aced

controversial censorship in schools across the U.S. and is banned in the author’s native country o Iran or its political viewpoint.

Bi River,Bi Sea-UntoldStorieso 1949

Written in Mandarin by Taiwanese author and cultural critic Lun Yin -tai, Bi River, Bi Sea - Untold Stories o 1949 lends a voice to the stru les o amilies torn apart by the Chinese Civil War. Lun , whose previous works were considered instrumental to Taiwan’s democratization, spent ten years travelin and researchin or this collection

o historically revealin tales. While the author insists that her intention was to tell a story without bias or political motivations, the book was banned in mainland China a ter its 2009 publication.

“When the tanks rolled in, my sweet dau hter, I ran as ast as I could.”

My riend, a Beijin native, si hed as she recounted her ather’s story about the massacre in 1989. Thirty years a o in the Tiananmen Square, an estimated 10,000 Chinese students were brutally massacred by their own overnment or protestin peace ully or a more ree, more democratic China.

It all started when Hu Yaoban, a controversial General Secretary, died shortly a ter his removal rom his position in the Communist Party, in April 1989. He was known to be an incorruptible official who led re orms to make the Chinese Government more transparent and open to all.

Students, both saddened and hi hly suspicious o Hu’s sudden death, athered in troves at the ates o Tiananmen to mourn his death and call or democratic re orm. Slowly throu h the next seven weeks, the number o pro-democracy protests swelled to almost a million in the Square. Holdin daily vi ils and chants, and pressin democratic re orm throu h indefinite hun er strikes, the students started drawin attention rom the world.

In response, the Chinese overnment deployed troops and tanks in Tiananmen and fired indiscriminately at the crowds o students on June 4, 1989, effectively endin the demonstrations.

We mi ht never know the complete truth as the Chinese overnment heavily censors any internet discussions or in ormation concernin the incident. In act, criticism can even land someone in jail or indefinite time.

As the thirtieth anniversary o the massacre looms closer, overnment censorship has been heavier than ever. We can’t allow this oppression to o any urther at the risk o becomin enablers o the brutality o the Chinese overnment.

The hands o Human Ri hts Las manos de los Derechos Humanos

Remarks on the UN Human Rights Council

by Mike Pompeo, US Secretary o State.

The only thin worse than a council that does almost nothin to protect human ri hts is a council that covers or human ri hts abuses and is there ore an obstacle to pro ress and an impediment to chan e. The Human Ri hts Council enables abuses by absolvin wron doers throu h silence and alsely condemnin those who have committed no offense. A mere look around the world today demonstrates that the council has ailed in its stated objectives.

Its membership includes authoritarian overnments with unambi uous and abhorrent human ri hts records, such as China, Cuba, and Venezuela.

There is no air or competitive election process, and countries have colluded with one another to undermine the current method o selectin members.

And the council’s continued and well-documented bias a ainst Israel is unconscionable. Since its creation, the council has adopted more resolutions condemnin Israel than a ainst the rest o the world combined.

El Consejo de

Humanos -HumanRi htsCouncil- es el or anismo inter ubernamental dentro del sistema de las Naciones Unidas responsable de ortalecer la promoción y protección de los derechos humanos en todo el mundo, abordar situaciones de violaciones de derechos y hacer recomendaciones.

The United States has no opposition in principle to multilateral bodies workin to protect human ri hts. We desire to work with our allies and partners on this critical objective that reflects America’s commitment to reedom.

But when or anizations undermine our national interests and our allies, we will not be complicit. When they seek to in rin e on our national soverei nty, we will not be silent.

“Les écosystèmes, les espèces, les populations sauva es, les variétés locales de plantes et les races locales d’animaux domestiques diminuent, se réduisent ou disparaissent.

Rosalía

by MAGGIE WOLF

El MalQuerer no es un disco cualquiera. La artista española,

Rosalía, interpreta la música Flamenco de la mano del Trap. El resultado de esta mezcla entre tradicional y moderno es un sonido innovador.

Rosalía basó su álbum en “Flamenca”, una novela rancesa del si lo XIII. Esta novela trata de una relación amorosa que acaba con la mujer encerrada en una torre por los celos de su esposo.

Cada canción del disco está acompañada de una ima en del artista Filip Custic. Este mundo visual creado por Custic está llena de símbolos que reflejan el lado oscuro del amor.

La ima en de la izquierda acompaña al Capítulo 2: boda - “QUE NO SALGA LA LUNA”. Este homenaje a Frida incluye símbolos sobre el amor y las relaciones.

Por ejemplo, los relojes simbolizan el paso del tiempo en un momento que los novios quieren vivir por siempre. La cadena, como unión entre las dos personas y las llaves de oro y plata como entre a de sus corazones. Por último, el Sol que da luz a los novios e ilumina su camino.

Cada símbolo creado por Custic en atiza la intención de Rosalía de reinventar la historia clásica de amor y mostrar el empoderamiento de la mujer. Su disco acaba en el capítulo. 11: poder - “A NINGÚN HOMBRE”

There are many re u ees around the world, some estimates place the number at 25,400,000. Amon them there are Somali re u ees in U anda. I was a Somali re u ee in U anda or ei ht years. The camp was called Nakivale; it is ound in the Eastern part o A rica. I arrived in U anda in 2010. I le t my country because o civil wars and no education system.

Li e is very hard when you are a re u ee. There is no ood, no shelter, no education, and no security. Ima ine how you would eel i you ran away rom your country and came to another country as a re u ee when you are not a citizen o that country. There are a lot o thin s you eel. Fear was the common one. You eel like you mi ht be kidnapped or raped when you are walkin around.

I immediately enrolled in one o the ew primary schools in the camp; we used to have our classes under a tree. We missed school i it had heavily rained. All the lessons were in En lish, except or our courses in U andan, as dictated by the U andan curriculum.

Throu hout my primary education, I rarely heard about my home country. Most o my history classes were about U anda and when we learned about East A rica, Somalia was a side note. I can list all the different tribes in U anda and list the country's history and political system, but I know almost nothin about the people, history, and politics o my native soil. We memorized the U andan national anthem. I or ot the one o my motherland.

Now that I am in the United States o America, I eel educated, sa e, and protected.

The concept o justice was at the center o many o our national debates in the past year: racial justice, social justice, criminal justice, economic justice. In any conversation about these topics, the question o just what exactly we mean when we use the term justice is relevant, and part o the discussion.

Justice has varied meanin s that do a lot o work in the lan ua e, meanin s that ran e rom the technical and le al to the lo ty and philosophical. For many reasons and or many meanin s, one thin ’s or sure: justice has been on the minds o many people in 2018.
