This guide is designed to assist UNICEF staff and partners, in establishing and
operating Child Friendly Spaces (CFS) in an emergency. It attempts to provide
readers with the main principles of a CFS and the processes on how to establish
one.
The overall aim is to improve the standards and capac...ity of field staff, by providing
the required knowledge to support the design and operations of child friendly
spaces.
It will facilitate an understanding of how to develop a CFS in contexts in which
children’s well-being are threatened or damaged as a result of conflict or natural
disasters. More specifically, this guide attempts to broaden and strengthen the
knowledge, skills and attitudes of protection officers/field staff so that they are able
to respond to the multi-faceted needs of children.

In this paper an attempt has been made to contextualize the ecological dimension of contemporary Catholic
social teaching. With this aim in mind, the authors discuss the merits of several theories and approaches
(political economy approaches, ecological moderni...zation theory, environmental justice theory, and social
constructionism) coming from environmental sociology and other disciplinary traditions in the social sciences.
After an analysis of relevant historical documents of Catholic social teaching with respect to the
environmental issues covered by them, the authors discuss the main lines of argument present in the recent
(2015) encyclical Laudato Si’ (Pope Francis) and interpret them in the aforementioned theoretical framework.
In conclusion, the usefulness of Catholic social teaching for the public dialogue between science and
other relevant stakeholders, as well as its main strengths and weaknesses have been discussed

Die Erfahrung zeigt, dass sexülle und geschlechtsspezifische Gewalt vorallem dort ein verbreitetes Phänomen ist, wo die Menschenrechte generellmissachtet werden. Sexülle und geschlechtsspezifische Gewalt ist zweifellos an sich eine Menschenrechtsverletzung. Fraün und Kinder, die dem Risiko, Opfe...r von Menschenrechtsverstoessen zu werden, am häufigsten ausgesetzt sind, zählen gleichzeitig zu jenen, die am stärksten unter sexüller und geschlechtsspezifischer Gewalt zu leiden haben.

There is no question that over the last thirty years environmentaldegradation and the ecological crisis have become in our day and age apredominant sign of the times. In response to this worrisome develop-ment official documents of the Roman Catholic Church, at various lev-els, have sought to addres...s the growing ecological concern from theperspective of Catholic social teaching. Consequently references to ecol-ogy and environmental issues have surfaced in papal encyclicals duringthe last fifteen years generating national and regional responses. In theUnited States, for example, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops hasissued two pastoral statements on environmental issues in 1991 and2001. Significantly, the Catholic Bishops of the Pacific Northwest, rep-resenting Canada and the U.S. have also issued a unique internationalletter focused on a particular ecological region—the Columbia RiverWatershed. What all of these efforts hold in common is the attempt toapply Catholic social teaching to a new and disturbing phenomenon inhuman experience. The result has been an expansion of Catholic socialthought. What was once the “social question” has now become the socialand “ecological question.” This development, the effort to address ecol-ogy and environmental issues as ethical problems, is the focus of thispaper. In particular this paper will link environmental and humanecology with the concept of sustainability, with the intention of propos-ing an interpretation of the common good and a definition of sustain-ability within Catholic social teaching.

Les mises à jour réalisées pour de nombreux pays ont permis d’estimer la faim dans le monde avec une plus grande précision cette année. En particulier, les données nouvellement accessibles ont permis de revoir l’ensemble des estimations annuelles de la sous-alimentation en Chine en remonta...nt jusqu’à 2000, ce qui a entraîné une importante révision à la baisse du nombre de personnes sous-alimentées dans le monde. Néanmoins, la révision confirme la tendance signalée dans les éditions précédentes: le nombre de personnes touchées par la faim dans le monde est en lente augmentation depuis 2014.

En una crisis de salud pública como la actual pandemia de COVID-19, cuando se implementan medidas de “distanciamiento social” para frenar la propagación de la infección, las personas que enfrentan cualquier tipo de violencia basada en género, como violencia de pareja íntima, violencia psico...lógica, física o sexual, pueden correr riesgos adicionales. Muchas de las personas sobrevivientes de violencia basada en género (VBG) se encuentran encerradas en los mismos espacios con los agresores durante períodos prolongados de tiempo, lo cual limita su privacidad y su capacidad de huir de la violencia y exacerba las amenazas a su vida, salud e integridad.
