التمييز على أساس الجنس في القوانين المتعلقة بالعنف يُعرِّض النساء والفتيات لمخاطر أكبر

الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية، نيويورك، 23 تشرين الثاني/ نوفمبر 2022 – لمنع العنف القائم على النوع الاجتماعي ومحاسبة الجناة، من الضروري وجود إطار قانوني وسياساتي قويٍ يُنفّذ بشكلٍ جيد. ومع ذلك،  تُحرَم النساء والفتيات من نفس الحقوق القانونية التي يتمتع بها الرجال والفتيان في العديد من البلدان، بما في ذلك بلدان  منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال إفريقيا. تُسلِّط ورقة السياسات  الجديدة  التي تنشرها منظمة Equality Now – أقوالٌ وأفعال: محاسبة الحكومات في عملية مراجعة بيجين +30 – التمييز على أساس الجنس في القوانين المتعلقة بالعنف –  الضوء على القوانين المتعلقة بالعنف ضد النساء والفتيات، وكيف تتواصل الانتهاكات بسبب انعدام المساواة المدوَّنة في القوانين، ما يؤدي إلى غياب وسائل الردع وتمكين الجناة من الإفلات من العقاب.

تقوم منظمة Equality Now  بمراجعة عيّنة من القوانين التي تُميّز صراحةً على أساس الجنس واصدار التقارير حولها. في اليوم العالمي للقضاء على العنف ضد المرأة في 25 تشرين الثاني/ نوفمبر، ندعو مرةً أخرى إلى التعديل أو الإلغاء الفوري لجميع التشريعات المتحيّزة على أساس الجنس.

تشير تقديرات منظمة الصحة العالمية إلى أن 30% من النساء في مختلف أنحاء العالم قد تعرّضن خلال حياتهن للعنف الجسدي و/ أو الجنسي من الشريك الحميم أو العنف الجنسي من غير الشريك. يتفاقم هذا الرقم المذهل بسبب عدم المساواة، والتمييز، والعنف المسموح به ضمن بعض القوانين.

في منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال إفريقيا، يمنح العراق الأزواج حقًا قانونيًا في معاقبة زوجاتهم ضمن حدود معينة يُمليها القانون أو العُرف. بينما تسمح مصر بعقوبةٍ أخف للرجال الذين يقتلون زوجاتهم عند ضبطهن في حالة زنا.

تُميِّز قوانين الاغتصاب عندما تُقِرُّ استثناءاتٍ لظروف معينة بشكلٍ متعمّد، مثل الاغتصاب في إطار الزواج، أو عندما تسمح للمغتصبين بتجنب الملاحقة الجنائية من خلال الزواج من ضحاياهم. الكويت وليبيا من بين البلدان التي توفر ثغراتٍ قانونية عبر نهج “تزوّجي مغتصبَكِ”.

لا يزال لدى العديد من البلدان تعريفات قانونية للاغتصاب على أساس القوة، أو التهديد باستخدام القوة، بدلاً  من تعريفه على اساس انعدام الموافقة او غيابها. غالبًا ما يتعين على الضحايا إثبات أنهن قاومن الهجوم جسديًا، ويتطلب ذلك عادةً تقديم أدلة على إصاباتٍ إضافية سبّبها المعتدي. لا يستوعب هذا النهج الطرق المتنوعة التي تستجيب بها الضحايا للاغتصاب. فهو يترك العديد من القضايا بلا عقاب ويعزز ثقافة سوء المعاملة.

يحدث العنف ضد النساء والفتيات أيضًا عبر الإنترنت، ولكن لا يوجد معيار عالمي لإنهاء الاستغلال والاعتداء الجنسيين عبر الإنترنت. النظام الأبوي وكراهية النساء اللذان يزدهران في العالم الواقعي ينعكسان ويتكرسان عبر الإنترنت، ويجب على القوانين معالجة ذلك في المجال الرقمي.

على الجانب الإيجابي، تم إلغاء أو تعديل بعض القوانين التي كان تقريرنا لعام 2020 قد سلّط الضوء عليها، أو توجد مشاريع قيد الإعداد لقوانين جديدة أو قوانين أفضل. على سبيل المثال، أُلغِيَ قانون في سوريا كان يعفي الرجال تماماً من العقوبة في حال قتلوا أقاربهم من النساء بدافع “الشرف”، وبذلك أُزيل عذرٌ مُخفِّف كان يقضي بعقوبةٍ أخف بكثير في جرائم “الشرف”.

تقول أنطونيا كيركلاند من منظمة Equality Now: “يُعدّ وجود إطار قانوني وسياساتي قوي وشامل وبيئة مؤاتية أموراً ضرورية لحماية النساء والفتيات من العنف. ينبغي صياغة القوانين من منطلق فهمٍ نسوي تقاطعي عالمي لديناميات القوى وانعدام المساواة التي تعزز العنف القائم على النوع الاجتماعي وتحُول دون وصول النساء والفتيات إلى العدالة”.

Multimillion-dollar boost for small business as more African countries join MultiChoice Africa Accelerator Programme

Johannesburg, Nov. 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — November 2022 – Following the success of the MultiChoice Africa Accelerator Programme, which secured $16 million (USD) of funding for six emerging businesses last year, the programme has been expanded to eight more countries across Africa.

Many more small businesses in Africa’s technology sector now have the chance to benefit from the 2023 programme, which provides the skills and opportunities needed to attract transformative business funding.

“We’re really excited to be expanding the MultiChoice Africa Accelerator Programme to more African countries,” said Calvo Mawela, MultiChoice Group CEO, announcing the launch. “It’s part of our long-term commitment to growing and multiplying Africa’s technology potential, which is critical to our future growth.”

The MultiChoice Africa Accelerator Programme, which kicked off during Global Entrepreneurship Week,  is aimed at established start-ups and small enterprises in specific technology sectors – healthtech, agritech, fintech, edutech, the circular economy and the creative industries.

“There is such incredible business talent across Africa,” said Mawela. “MultiChoice Africa Accelerator is an opportunity for investors and small enterprise to collaborate to multiply the impact of this talent and scale it across Africa.”

Having started in South Africa in 2021, the MultiChoice Africa Accelerator is expanding to Ivory Coast, Senegal, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Zambia, Angola and Ethiopia. The initiative equips emerging entrepreneurs to secure funding and scale up their businesses, and also provides opportunities to pitch to international investors.

African Development Bank President Dr Akinwumi Adesina has previously noted that, “the private sector is Africa’s growth accelerator”, and several African nations have backed small-business development as part of their economic strategy. The MultiChoice Africa Accelerator dovetails with these development objectives.

The MultiChoice Africa Accelerator Programme is an initiative of the MultiChoice Innovation Fund, in collaboration with Dubai-based business incubator Companies Creating Change (C3), which gives entrepreneurs access to the tools, skills and financial support to grow their business. MultiChoice has also partnered with EOH, a tech services company who will bring their expertise to the table especially in terms of tech advisory, development sprint and technical support.

The first phase of the MultiChoice Africa Accelerator Programme sees public and private-sector partners in each country nominating businesses or entrepreneurs for the programme. From there, 29 of the start-ups embark on an intensive virtual training course. The initiative is aimed at established businesses that are already operating and looking to scale up by attracting further investment.

“Start-up founders get to learn everything from how to properly research your business sector and your market, to how to create a niche for your business,” says Boitumelo Monageng, of Swypa, one of last year’s finalists. “During the workshops we were encouraged to dig deeper and I realised that we have the potential to compete on a much larger scale.”

The virtual training course takes place over several weeks, teaching start-up owners media skills, how best to market their businesses to investors, how to create attractive business plans, and to know what investors are looking for.

Later, the entrepreneurs will come together at a finals event, where 11 start-ups will be selected for the final pitch phase. They will attend a dedicated C3 boot camp to learn how to shape their story for international investors, and to get “pitch ready” before their big presentations.

“We believe SMEs in the technology, sustainability and creative sectors will be fundamental to the next phase of Africa’s growth,” says Mawela. “The MultiChoice Africa Accelerator is geared to finding the most promising start-ups, and empowering them to play this critical role.”

Korea Red Ginseng Promoted in the Middle East

  • The aT Center Successfully Completes Korean Ginseng Seminar in the UAE with favorable reviews
  • Red Ginseng’s Medicinal Benefits, Including Immunity Boost, Fatigue Relief, and Safety, are introduced

DUBAI, UAE and SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The Korean Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation (aT) held a seminar on November 10 (local time) at the Vida Hotel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, under the theme of “Healthy Food and Happy Future.” About 100 visitors from the healthcare industry, including doctors and pharmacists, were in attendance at the international Korean ginseng seminar.

The aT Center Successfully Completes Korean Ginseng Seminar in the UAE with favorable reviews.

In the seminar, Dr. Choi Kwang-tae, formerly president of the Korean Society of Ginseng, presented the excellent properties of Korean ginseng. Dr. Choi showed research results on the features and effects of Korean ginseng and red ginseng, such as memory enhancement, anti-cancer, antioxidant, immunity boosting, blood circulation improvement, fatigue relief, and anti-diabetes under the theme of “Korean ginseng for human health.” He also introduced the research results on the antiviral effect of red ginseng against viruses such as AIDS and COVID-19.

Dr. Ahmed Kaml, a local doctor who attended the seminar, said, “I was impressed with the research results that Korean ginseng, which is generally known to be good for recovering one’s strength, is also effective for enhancing immunity and improving memory for old people. Given the incidence of diabetes is rising steadily in the UAE due to increasing obesity, the interest in ginseng’s antidiabetic effect is high.”

Currently, there are about 200 locations of 10 chain pharmacies, including Boots and Medicina, in the UAE, carrying CheongKwanJang, the most well-known red ginseng brand of Korea Ginseng Corporation(KGC) in their stores. Of these, 50 have a separate special section dedicated to the brand, attracting the attention of local residents.

aT Center stated that this conference will serve as a platform for exchange between the UAE and Korea and a bridgehead for us for widening sales channels. Added that it will be continued to work hard to develop markets in the Middle East in the future, where entry barriers are high, in terms of complicated product registration procedures, and to expand the export base by promoting the excellence of Korean ginseng products.

The second Korean ginseng seminar will be held on November 30 at an Abu Dhabi hotel in the UAE.

Nimo TV Launches World-Class Football Game Themed Programs to Further Explore Pan-Entertainment Genre

Nimo TV Expands Live Streaming Presence in Southeast Asia and MENA Regions

GUANGZHOU, China, Nov. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — To share the excitement of the football tournament with fans, Nimo TV, Huya’s international business, is launching several new interactive events during the time of the exciting world-class football game event hosted in Qatar, which include Football Night, Football Girl Competition and Football Game Interactive Competition with a focus on timely game updates, pregame predictions and interactions with the audience.

The launch of the themed programs, including the above-mentioned activities, is seen as a new growth path for Nimo TV, and is expected to provide a “shot in the arm” for the leading live streaming platform. In addition to growing its presence in the game live streaming market, Nimo TV also plans to diversify the platform content that focuses more on pan-entertainment, and accelerate its growth in Southeast Asia and the MENA regions, with the aim of providing consumers with more immersive and localized interactive experiences.

Nimo TV Launches World-Class Football Game Themed Events

Nimo TV has rolled out several new entertainment programs and football game competitions with the intent to ignite the passion of fans, including Football Night, where popular broadcasters will be invited to discuss hot topics about the Qatar event online, participate in football knowledge quizzes and offer their predictions of game results. The program will be broadcasted in Vietnam on each Friday, Indonesia on each Wednesday, and the MENA region on a daily basis.

Regarding the Football Girl Competition program, broadcasters on the platform will compete to win the title of “Football Girl”. And apart from that, in Vietnam, the contest is also open to the public, where entrants vie for the “Football Girl” title through a combination of a talent competition and voting by fans. The winning Football Girl will have the opportunity to become a signed host on Nimo TV.

In the “Couples Battle” event, Nimo TV’s top game streamers will connect with entertainment streamers during the football competition and cheer for the teams they support. In addition, the platform will organize a football e-sports event in Indonesia, where top professional e-sports players will interact with football fans and share their experiences and opinions on e-sports.

While joining in the discussions and the quizzes, fans can send football cup-themed special effect gifts. They can also write posts and discuss the Qatar event, interact with other fans, and win prizes in the Nimo TV community.

Deeply Rooted in Emerging Markets, Nimo TV Expands Further into Pan-Entertainment Genre

It can be seen that besides the game live streaming content, Nimo TV has recently expanded the content genre on the platform to pan-entertainment as well. In the meanwhile, after Huya announced its third quarter 2022 financial results, Huya management said at the conference call that beginning in April, Huya strategically adjusted the international business to allocate resources to key areas. Li Meng, Senior Vice President of Huya, said that “we will continue to move forward with our international business, and allocate advantageous resources to Vietnam, Indonesia and the MENA markets. In addition to game live streaming content, we will also provide users with more pan-entertainment content.”

A recent report by mobile intelligence firm Sensor Tower* showed that the revenue from global mobile live streaming apps have seen impressive growth since 2020, with the compound annual growth rates reaching 92.2% and 21.2% in 2020 and 2021, respectively, generating revenue of more than $2 billion in 2021. For the first half of 2022, Saudi Arabia and Turkey in the Middle East region ranked the third and fourth place, respectively, in terms of revenue generated from global live streaming apps. During the same period, with regard to global live streaming app installs, three Southeast Asia countries including Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam are among the top 10 countries globally with largest live streaming app downloads.

It is widely believed that the rapid growth of the pan-entertainment market in the MENA and Southeast Asia is driven by the rapid growth of the digital sector, enhancement of network infrastructure, increasing adoption of smartphones, growing user base and higher willingness to pay among the regions.

Facing the new opportunities in the pan-entertainment field, Nimo TV has embraced market trends by adjusting its business focus. Take the important Vietnamese market as an example, rather than only develop game live streaming content, the platform’s core operation in the country has transitioned to the twin-engine development of game live streaming and pan-entertainment content, which means to increase the content proportion of entertainment and leisure live streaming categories covering sports, board games, karaoke, anime and travel challenges, etc.

Amie Lam, head of Nimo TV Vietnam said, “we look forward to more outstanding content creators joining the Nimo TV family, with each making a contribution to the platform in their own unique way. We will also strengthen partnerships with game publishers as well as global and local brands, to organize online & offline events from time to time. In addition, we plan to upgrade our interactions across sectors to promote cultural exchanges and economic development.”

In Indonesia, Nimo TV is inviting multi-talented live streaming hosts for categories of live shows, and chess and board games. The platform’s offerings in the country include outdoor live streaming, social networking, Just Chatting and voice room, among others. In addition to improving the user experience, Nimo TV also aims to become Indonesia’s leading pan-entertainment live streaming brand.

In the MENA market with high user engagement, the platform has become concentrated on Arabic-based content of Arabic culture. And building on the Arabic content, Nimo TV plans to create an ecosystem that focuses on the Gulf states to promote Arabic culture on its platform.

In the future, Nimo TV will further explore user preferences, promote more localized activities to bring more diversified experiences for users. For content creators, Nimo TV will launch more incentive policies and inspire them to unlock potential and deliver even more compelling content. With these efforts, Nimo TV intends to become a leading live streaming platform with comprehensive pan-entertainment and game content coverage.

Sex discrimination in violence laws are putting women at risk, Reveals New Report by Equality Now

BEIRUT, Lebanon, Nov. 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — To prevent gender-based violence and hold offenders to account, a strong and well-implemented legal and policy framework is essential. And yet, in many countries, including in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), women and girls are denied the same legal rights as men and boys. A new policy briefing by Equality Now – Words & Deeds: Holding Governments Accountable to the Beijing +30 Review Process – Sex Discrimination in Violence Laws – highlights laws relating to violence against women and girls, and how violations are being perpetuated due to inequality written within the law, resulting in a lack of deterrents and impunity for perpetrators.

Equality Now has been tracking and reporting on a sampling of explicitly sex-discriminatory laws. For International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on November 25, we are advocating for the immediate amendment or repeal of all sexist legislation.

The WHO estimates 30% of women worldwide have experienced physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime. This staggering number is exacerbated by inequality, discrimination, and permitted violence found within some laws.

In the MENA, Iraq gives husbands a legal right to punish their wives within certain limits prescribed by law or custom. While Egypt allows a lesser punishment for men who kill their wives on discovering them in an act of adultery.
Rape laws discriminate when they deliberately make exceptions for certain circumstances, such as rape within marriage, or when they allow rapists to avoid criminal prosecution by marrying their victims. Kuwait and Libya are among countries that provide “marry-your-rapist” legal loopholes.
Many countries still have legal definitions of rape based on force, or the threat of force, instead of a lack of consent. Victims often have to prove they physically resisted an attack, and this commonly requires submitting evidence of additional injuries caused by the assailant. Such an approach fails to understand the varied ways that victims respond to rape. It leaves many cases unpunished and fosters a culture of abuse.

Violence against women and girls also occurs online, but there is no universal standard for ending online sexual exploitation and abuse. The patriarchy and misogyny that flourishes in the physical world are being replicated and exacerbated online and laws must address this in the digital realm.

On a positive note, some laws highlighted in our 2020 report have been repealed or amended, or bills are in the works for new or better laws. For example, a law in Syria that completely exempted from punishment men who killed female relatives for “honor” has been repealed, removing the mitigating excuse for crimes of “honor” which sanctioned a much lesser penalty.

Equality Now’s Antonia Kirkland says, “A strong, comprehensive legal and policy framework and environment is essential to protect women and girls from violence. Laws need to be drafted from a universal, intersectional feminist understanding of the power dynamics and inequality that underpin gender-based violence and lack of access to justice for victims.”

علاوة على ذلك ، فالمبدد الحراري المصنع من الألومنيوم المصقول بالأبيض والأسود والمدمج في الوحدة يوفر وسيلة شاملة قادرة على تبديد الحرارة السلبية بنسبة تصل إلى 10٪.

CRAS C730 – تخطي الجميع

تم تصميم CRAS C730 على واجهة PCIe Gen 3×4 المدعومة بتقنية NVMe 1.3، وهو مقبس مناسب لجميع العلامات التجارية. تستهدف اللوحة المستخدمين العاديين، وتتفوق على العلامات التجارية المنافسة بما بها من مميزات ووظائف عالية الجودة أكثر من ثمنها بكثير.

يعد التخزين المؤقت لذاكرة DRAM والرصد الذاتي والتحليل وتقنية إعداد التقارير (S.M.A.R.T.) وخوارزمية الخنق الحراري بعض النقاط البارزة الجديرة بالذكر هنا، والتي تجعل CRAS C730 أفضل حل تخزين قوي الأداء ومنخفض التكلفة في الأسواق.

يمكن للمستخدمين الاختيار من بين مساحات تخزين 512 جيجابايت و1 تيرابايت و 2 تيرابايت مع معدلات قراءة تسلسلية مذهلة تصل إلى 3700 ميجابايت/ثانية بسعة 2 تيرابايت.
