TRATA DE PERSONAS EN RÍO GALLEGOS
COMUNICADO DE PRENSA DE LA COOP. LA ALAMEDA
ELLOS DISCUTEN EL ARBOL, NOSOTROS EL BOSQUE
Mientras el gobernador Peralta y su Ministro de Gobierno anuncian en todos los diarios de Santa Cruz que iniciarán una querella contra la Alameda por el video difundido por nuestra organización, la Alameda anuncia que el lunes hará una ampliación de la presentación penal ante la Procuración General de la Nación en la que se pide que se investigue al Gobernador, al Ministro de Gobierno y al Jefe de la Policia por su responsabilidad en el funcionamiento de las casitas de tolerancia de Rio Gallegos, aportando nuevos y escalofriantes datos y tomando textualmente los graves dichos que estos funcionarios han vertido en los medios durante la semana que pasó.El Gobernador Peralta está más preocupado por criminalizar a los denunciantes que por desmantelar las casitas que anoche funcionaron a pleno. Ellos están empeñado en discutir el árbol, nosotros seguimos discutiendo el bosque con la conciencia que sea cual fuese el árbol, se trata sin duda de un árbol podrido y vinculado al poder que confirma nuestra denuncia inicial.. Como siempre lo hacemos, de cara a la sociedad, va el texto completo de la denuncia penal para todos los medios de comunicación.

Crece el maltrato y violación sexual a mascotas en Argentina
por acqua1980,
El porqué del crecimiento y casos de maltrato, abandono y violación.
Crece el maltrato, abandono y violación sexual a mascotas en argentina.
Ciudad autónoma de buenos aires. Durante este semestre en varios distritos creció considerablemente el abandono y maltratos de animales en la calle.
Las personas por falta de conciencia y que concideran a un perrito o gatito como un objeto de entretenimiento cuando son jóvenes estos ultimos, son un problema, debido que, actualmente acompañado de la crisis económicas y del interés personal, prefieren destinar los fondos de sus mascotas hacia otros fines sin tener en cuenta que son unos seres vivo que sufren como una persona padeciendo hambre, golpes y hasta violaciones por seres sin sentimientos cuando se encuentran en las calles.
El modus operandi es desprenderse de estos animales tirándolo en las autopistas, atarlos con su correa en alguna reja o poste esperando que alguien los desate, o lo peor de todo inventan una denuncia para que lo lleven a un centro de zoonosis para su observación pero no lo buscan mas y dejando su vida al azar. Con respeto a maltratos, apedrear a animales por banditas o por personas por placer o porque no quieren que paren en esa zona, dejarlos atados al sol o la intemperie, no darles de comer o padeciendo la falta de agua por placer o porque así disminuyen sus desechos, fuertes golpes que algunos caso terminan quebrados por motivos injustificables, tirarles agua hirviendo porque muerde a sus crías o se pelea con otros, probar el filo de los cuchillos sobre sus cuerpos. Violaciones, últimamente también están creciendo, maniáticos agarran a perritos o perritas que las penetran, hasta en algunos caso los dejan golpeados y tirados con el preservativos en su genitales. A continuación, les detallo algunos casos relevantes que recibí.

Support the Gonzalez Sisters and their Mother
Dear Supporter of Indigenous Women's Rights,
The Comité Pro-Reparaciones para las Hermanas González de Chiapas, in coordination with the legal team of the Centro de Derechos de la Mujer de Chiapas (CDMCH), invite you and the organizations with which you work to join an Americas-wide campaign to pressure the Mexican government for justice and reparations for indigenous victims of military rape.
In 1994 Celia, Beatriz, y Ana González were raped by soldiers at a military checkpoint in Chiapas, Mexico. In 2001 the Organization of American States’ Inter-American Human Rights Commission held that Mexican State was responsible for this crime, yet the guilty parties have not been brought to justice nor have the sisters and their mother, a witness, been indemnified. This case is especially important because it is the first time the Inter-American System has recognized the indigenous identity of a rape victim.
Grassroots pressure has gotten this case moving forward after fifteen years of impunity. Now is a crucial time to pressure the Mexican government for justice—and stop growing generalized state violence against indigenous women in Mexico. In preparation for a letter writing campaign, in which we will request the participation of your organization, we are sending out links to a website where you can find more information on this and related cases, in English and Spanish, taken from legal, academic, and news documents. We will contact you again in the last week of May with a model letter, written in consultation with the CDMCH, and instructions on how to send it via fax to specific Mexican government and military offices.
For documents in English on the Hermanas González case, click here:
hermanasgonzalez.org/docs/en/
For documents in Spanish on the Hermanas González case, click here:
https://hermanasgonzalez.org/docs/es /
Please also sign up for an email list which will facilitate contact with your organization for the letter campaign. Note it is just an email list for this specific purpose and not a listserv.
https://hermanasgonzalez.org/email/e s/
We urge you to send this letter and the website link on to organizations within your networks and to contact us if there is any information on the case you need clarified. We are available for interviews or we can put you in contact with lawyers and activists in Mexico working on the case.
We look forward to collaborating with you as we launch our letter-writing campaign and we thank you for joining us in this effort to bring justice to the Hermanas Gonzalez and their mother.
In Struggle,
The Comité Pro-Reparaciones de las Hermanas González
Angela Hernandez, Caitlin Henry, Gloria Guadalupe Flores RuÃz, Jessica Schneider, Kate Percuoco, and Vivian Newdick

Thousands were raped in Irish reform schools
By Shawn Pogatchnik, Associated Press
A fiercely debated, nine-year investigation into Ireland's Roman Catholic-run institutions says priests and nuns terrorised thousands of boys and girls in workhouse-style schools for decades — and government inspectors failed to stop the chronic beatings, rapes and humiliation.

RIGHTS: Few Govts Serious About Human Trafficking, U.N. Finds
By Matthew Berger
UNITED NATIONS, May 14 (IPS) - The U.N. General Assembly discussed ways of taking stronger collective action to end human trafficking on Wednesday, with delegates debating the need for and form of a "global plan of action" to end this form of modern slavery.
"National and regional efforts are not enough to cope with this global problem," said Ecuadorian Minister of Justice and Human Rights Néstor Arbito Chica. "That’s why we call on the U.N. to take action."
The starting point for the debate was whether the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children, passed in Palermo, Italy, in 2000, is enough to stop this global problem.
"The protocol is not a sufficient tool for stopping human trafficking, and more than one-third of U.N. member states are not a party to it," said Valentin Rybakov, assistant to the president of Belarus. "The Palermo Protocol is, if you will, an aspirin which helps us to bring the fever down, but aspirin cannot cure us."
The need for a new global plan of action was echoed by the majority of speakers and delegates. The United States, however, felt otherwise: "We believe that the U.N. is already effectively leading the fight against global trafficking."
The U.S. representative’s concerns were that launching a global plan of action would strain the limited resources of the U.N. and, likewise, that the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime’s (UNODC) "financial and personnel resources would be severely stretched if it were to undertake such a plan of action."

Sign NOW!
President Obama will soon nominate a new Supreme Court justice, now that Justice David Souter has announced his retirement from the Court.
Please SIGN OUR PETITION urging him to name a woman like Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who is a proven advocate for equality and fair treatment under the Constitution.
Ginsburg said she can't help but wonder what people think when they visit the Court and see only one woman out of the nine justices."There I am all alone, and it doesn't look right," said Ginsburg, noting that women bring a life experience to the court that men can't.

República Dominicana Adopta Restricciones Draconianas al Aborto
Las Leyes restrictivas abocan al aborto clandestino a las más pobres
Madrid, Miércoles 20 de mayo de 2009, por Sharon L Camp y Fátima Juárez
Madrid. 20 mayo. Redacción AmecoPress.
Cuando la Asamblea Nacional de la República Dominicana votó en abril de 2009 modificar la constitución con el objetivo de incluir un derecho a la vida que comienza en el momento de la concepción, el país continuó con una tendencia preocupante que está teniendo lugar entre jurisdicciones latinoamericanas hacia la virtual eliminación del recurso de las mujeres a los servicios de aborto seguro. Según la ley dominicana, tanto los doctores que practican abortos como las mujeres que los obtienen tienen que hacer frente a severas condenas, incluyendo sentencias de prisión.
La enmienda fue introducida por el presidente Leonel Fernández y obtuvo un amplio apoyo de la asamblea nacional. La medida es un eco de otros cambios similares promulgados a nivel estatal en México, donde 12 estados han adoptado recientemente enmiendas constitucionales, declarando que la vida comienza en el momento de la concepción. Estas enmiendas—cuyo objetivo es obstruir cualquier liberalización de las leyes de aborto ya existentes y que incluso puedan llegar a prohibir abortos que antes eran legales, como en casos de violación—parecen ser una dura reacción contra la legalización del 2007 del aborto durante las primeras 12 semanas de embarazo en Ciudad de México.

Q&A: Uncertainty of Hope: Portrait of Survival
Shungu Sabeta interviews VALERIE TAGWIRA, author
Valerie Tagwira
DURBAN, May 20 (IPS) - Valerie Tagwira, a Zimbabwean doctor living in London, chose Operation Murambatsvina as the backdrop for her first novel, a painful story of domestic abuse, poverty and the fragility of survival in Zimbabwe's high-density suburbs.
In 2005, Zimbabwe's government unleashed Operation Murambatsvina ("clean out the filth" in Shona) on cities across the country. In less than a month, an estimated 700,000 people lost their homes, their livelihoods or both as goods were seized and structured deemed illegal demolished.
The operation fell hardest on urban neighbourhoods like Mbare in the capital Harare - often perceived to be sympathetic to the Movement for Democratic Change party that was then in opposition - and where deepening economic crisis had left millions to daily reinvent their survival, earning a living as best they could in the informal sector.
This is the setting for "Uncertainty of Hope", Tagwira's first novel, which centres on two friends and market women, Onai Moyo and Katy Nguni, struggling to make a life for themselves.
Shungu Sabeta spoke to Tagwira at the "Time of the Writer" festival in Durban, South Africa in March. Excerpts of the interview.

Q&A: Women Suffer 'Hidden Genocide' in Latin America
Natalia Ruiz Díaz interviews SUSANA CHIAROTTI, expert on violence against women in the Americas
Susana Chiarotti, coordinator of CEVI
Credit:Natalia Ruiz Díaz/IPS
ASUNCION, May 19 (IPS) - Counting cases of machista or sexist violence separately shows that "what is happening is practically a genocide, and a hidden one at that," says Susana Chiarotti, coordinator of the Committee of Experts on Violence (CEVI) which is following up on implementation of the Convention of Belém do Pará.
The Inter-American Convention on the Prevention, Punishment and Eradication of Violence against Women, adopted in the Brazilian city of Belém do Pará in 1994 by the 34 members of the Organisation of American States (OAS), defines all forms of gender-based violence as human rights abuses, and stipulates binding measures to eradicate it.
Chiarotti, an Argentine lawyer and long-time activist in the regional women’s rights movement, is also the coordinator of the non-governmental Latin American and Caribbean Committee for the Defence of Women's Rights (CLADEM), which is active in 17 countries.
During a visit to Asunción, the coordinator of CEVI, which is part of the OAS but works independently, spoke with IPS about the progress achieved in recent years and of how much remains to be done to eliminate violence against women at all levels of society in Latin America.

Amnesty International Press release
15 May 2009
Amnesty International today urged the Nicaraguan authorities to act upon the UN Committee against Torture call for Nicaragua to review its complete ban on abortion with a view to including exceptions to the total prohibition.
After reviewing the situation in Nicaragua against the obligations of the state under the Convention against Torture, the UN Committee concluded that the State Party should revise its legal framework in relation to abortion. The expert Committee observed that the complete ban gave them cause for profound concern, as it exposes women and girls to a constant threat of serious violations to their rights, particularly if continuation of the pregnancy posed a threat to their life, or for victims of rape.
“The Committee is sending a clear message to the Nicaraguan state: So long as the complete ban with no exceptions is in place, you will be in breach of your international legal obligations to protect human rights,” said Widney Brown, Senior Director, International Law and Policy at Amnesty International. “If this complete ban were to stay, women and girls would continue to be at risk of torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. Such inaction would show a cruel indifference to the physical pain, psychological anguish and lack of human dignity this law causes women and girls in Nicaragua to suffer by denying and thwarting their access to essential medical treatment during pregnancy.”
The criminal law imposes prison terms for doctors and women or girls for carrying out or seeking an abortion, regardless of the circumstances, such as if the life or health of the pregnant woman is at risk from continuation of the pregnancy.
“As noted by the Committee, the moment when doctors need to make vital decisions they are forced to violate their professional ethics, ignore best practice and protocols, placing the life and health of the patient at risk,” said Widney Brown. “Furthermore, rape victims who become pregnant as a result of the crime in Nicaragua are faced with an unconscionable choice: either continue the pregnancy to full term, regardless of the risks to her life, health or well-being or seek an unsafe backstreet abortion risking her life, health and possibly imprisonment. In a country where there are high rates of sexual abuse and at least 50% of rape victims are girls aged 18 or under, this is a particularly appalling situation.”
The complete ban has a chilling effect on the ability of doctors to respond quickly and decisively to women and girls suffering from complications during their pregnancy. The law denies pregnant women necessary medical care which in some cases would be life saving.
The UN Committee against Torture is the fourth UN treaty body to demand that the Nicaraguan government repeal the complete ban on abortion in all circumstances because this ban violates the rights of women and girls. The UN Human Rights Committee, the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the UN Committee on the Elimination of All forms of Discrimination Against Women have already highlighted to the Government of Nicaragua that this law breaches Nicaragua’s international legal obligations and places the lives and health of women and girls in jeopardy.
Amnesty International considers that the full ban on abortion in Nicaragua – including in cases where a woman’s health or life would be at risk if the pregnancy continues or where that pregnancy is a result of rape – is a violation of women's and girls' human rights, including the right not be subject to torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.
The organization is calling on the Nicaraguan authorities to repeal the full ban on abortions and ensure doctors are not prohibited from providing medically indicated treatment to women and girls in need.
Background information
Where women’s access to safe and legal abortion services and information is restricted, their fundamental human rights may be at grave risk. Amnesty International therefore calls on states to do the following to prevent and end grave abuses of women’s human rights in accordance with state obligations under international human rights standards: (a) repeal all laws which permit the imprisonment or imposition of any other criminal sanction on women for seeking or having an abortion and all other laws which provide for imprisonment or other criminal penalties solely for those providing information about or carrying out abortions; (b) provide access to medical services for complications arising from abortion to all women in need in any circumstance, regardless of the legal status of abortion; (c) take all necessary measures to ensure that safe and legal abortion services are available, accessible, acceptable and of good quality for all women who require them in cases of unwanted pregnancy as a result of rape, sexual assault or incest and pregnancy which poses a risk to the life or grave risk to the health of the woman. Amnesty International does not take a position on any other aspects of abortion.
The UN Committee against Torture is the expert body established by the UN Convention against Torture to monitor countries’ compliance with that treaty. It is composed of 10 independent, impartial members who are elected by the states parties to the treaty. Governments must submit periodic reports to the Committee which in turn make recommendations to further the State party’s implementation of the treaty.
Amnesty International briefed the Committee against Torture on the denial of access to essential medical services through legislation that imposes an absolute ban on the provision of abortion services and the criminalisation of abortion in Nicaragua. In addition, the organization attended the hearing in Geneva on 31 April and 1 May. Amnesty International also provided information to the Committee against Torture at this session regarding implementation of the Torture Convention by Israel.

Misión de Observación y Denuncia Internacional
Guatemala: violencia contra las mujeres, en franco ascenso
Por Gladis Torres Ruiz/enviada
Guatemala, Guat., 15 mayo 09 (CIMAC).- En lo que va de este año, en Guatemala 226 mujeres han sido asesinadas, 26 de ellas desmembradas, y entre 2000 y 2008 más de 4 mil 300 fueron asesinadas, lo que coloca al país en el tercer lugar a nivel latinoamericano en muerte contra mujeres, informaron organizaciones de mujeres guatemaltecas durante el Foro Todas Unidas Contra la Violencia.
El Foro se realizó ayer en la Universidad de San Carlos, en el marco de la “Misión de Observación y Denuncia Internacional contra la Violencia hacia las Mujeres en Guatemala”, jornada realizada por la organizaciones Red Petateras de Guatemala, en coordinación con Sinergia Noj, Radio Internacional Feminista (RIF), la Unión Nacional de Mujeres Guatemaltecas (UNAMG), Asociadas por lo Justo (JASS) y La Cuerda.
Las organizaciones coincidieron en que esta visita se da en un momento crítico en la historia política de Guatemala, por eso es tan importante, y ocurre luego del caso paradigmático del secuestro de la abogada Gladys Monterroso.
Monterroso, secretaria metropolitana del partido Encuentro por Guatemala y esposa del Procurador de los Derechos Humanos, fue secuestrada el 25 de marzo y posteriormente liberada. Durante su cautiverio fue golpeada y quemada con cigarros en distintas partes del cuerpo.

Observatorio Ciudadano Nacional del Feminicidio
Justicia y NOM-046 para víctimas de violencia sexual en Guanajuato
De la redacción
México DF, 15 mayo 09 (CIMAC).- El Observatorio Ciudadano Nacional del Feminicidio (OCNF) exigió al Gobierno de Guanajuato, en un desplegado publicado hoy en el periódico Correo de Guanajuato, garantizar a las mujeres el acceso a la interrupción legal del embarazo (ILE) producto de una violación sexual, a través del cumplimiento de la Norma Oficial Mexicana de Violencia Familiar, Sexual y contra las Mujeres. Criterios para la prevención y atención (NOM 046).
El Observatorio surgió en 2007 como una articulación de más de 43 Organizaciones de la sociedad civil de 17 estados de la República, que tiene como fin el monitoreo sistemático de los asesinatos de mujeres, su documentación y seguimiento en acciones de procuración e impartición de justicia, para aportar mecanismos civiles de prevención y erradicación del feminicidio.
La NOM-046, señala el Observatorio, es producto del compromiso que adquirió el Estado mexicano frente a la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (CIDH) en 2006, a raíz del caso Paulina, quien los 13 años fue víctima de violación sexual y cuyo derecho legal a interrumpir su embarazo fue negado por las autoridades del Partido Acción Nacional (PAN) que gobernaban el estado.
“Las instituciones de salud de Guanajuato están obligadas a cumplir la NOM 046, instrumento jurídico que sirve para la protección del acceso integral a la salud de las mujeres victimas de violencia sexual, señala el desplegado, prestando servicios de anticoncepción de emergencia e interrupción legal del embarazo por violación”.
“De no cumplir con este lineamiento, el gobierno de Guanajuato atentaría contra el acatamiento de los compromisos adoptados por el Estado mexicano en tratados, convenios y recomendaciones internacionales”, afirma.
La Reforma Constitucional aprobada en el Congreso del estado el pasado 8 de mayo, que protege la vida desde el momento de la concepción, señala el Observatorio, no se puede utilizar como excusa para no aplicar la NOM 046, debido a que el espíritu de esta norma es imperativo y su aplicación está por encima de la constitución estatal.
