Der Ukraine-Krieg zwingt auch viele Heim- und Waisenkinder zur Flucht. Damit sie in Deutschland schneller eine Unterkunft finden und möglichst in Gruppen zusammenbleiben können, gibt es eine neue Melde- und Koordinierungsstelle.
Aktuell fliehen hunderttausende Menschen, vor allem Frauen und Kinder aus der Ukraine in Nachbarländer. Besonders alleinreisende Frauen und Kinder sind in dieser gefährdeten Situation angreifbar und ein Ziel für Menschenhändler*innen.
Viele Menschen sind an der ukrainischen Grenze, um solidar...isch Hilfe anzubieten. Es gibt jedoch auch Menschen, die persönlich Profit aus dem Schicksal anderer schlagen wollen. Wenn Helfer*innen einen Transport oder eine Unterkunft anbieten und versuchen, Flüchtende zu überzeugen, das Angebot anzunehmen und nicht davon abrücken, ist das ein eindeutiges Warnsignal. Ebenfalls ist es ein Warnsignal, wenn für die angebotene Hilfe eine Gegenleistung erwartet und dies kommuniziert wird.

This guideline aims to improve the quality of essential, routine postnatal care for women and newborns with the ultimate goal of improving maternal and newborn health and well-being. It recognizes a “positive postnatal experience” as a significant end point for all women giving birth and their n...ewborns, laying the platform for improved short- and long-term health and well-being. A positive postnatal experience is defined as one in which women, newborns, partners, parents, caregivers and families receive information, reassurance and support in a consistent manner from motivated health workers; where a resourced and flexible health system recognizes the needs of women and babies, and respects their cultural context.
This is a consolidated guideline of new and existing recommendations on routine postnatal care for women and newborns receiving facility- or community-based postnatal care in any resource setting.

Cascading risks from rising prices and supply disruptions, April 2022.
Global resource markets are still reeling from the impacts of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine; the two countries are major suppliers of energy, food and fertilizers. Supply disruption and the sudden imposition, in response to the... crisis, of unprecedented economic sanctions, trade restrictions and policy interventions have caused prices of commodities to skyrocket.
Before the conflict, demand for global resources already exceeded supply and drove up prices as economies rebounded after the COVID-19 pandemic. This gave rise to a global cost-of-living crisis, characterized by increasing levels of energy and food poverty. This situation is likely to become much worse as a consequence of the war in Ukraine, and poses a threat to human security, particularly among low-income and vulnerable populations.
