Epilepsy is one of the world’s most common chronic neurological disorders. Roughly 50 million people
suffer from it, 5 million of them in the Region of the Americas . Nevertheless, it is estimated that over
50% of these people in Latin America and the Caribbean have no access to services. Furthe...rmore,
the stigma attached to people with epilepsy is a barrier to the exercise of their human rights and social
integration.

Dieses Handout erklärt, was ein psychisches Trauma ist, beschreibt mögliche Folgen einer Traumatisierung und gibt wichtige Hinweise, was beim Umgang mit traumatisierten Menschen zu beachten ist – von der respektvollen Haltung (etwa: Betroffene sollen und dürfen selbst entscheiden, welche Hilfe ...sie annehmen wollen!) über hilfreiche Verhaltensweisen der Helfenden (etwa: Gesprächsangebote machen - nicht abwiegeln, aber auch nicht drängeln) bis hin zu Dingen, die man nicht tun sollte (z.B. alles ganz genau wissen wollen). Das Handout geht auch knapp darauf ein, wie Helfende sich vor potentiellen Überforderungen schützen können

The health-care system collapse underway in Venezuela is a cause of utmost concern for its people and, increasingly, for the wider region. Declines in provision of basic services, such as ...childhood immunisation, malaria control, water, sanitation, and nutritional support, have led to increasing morbidity and mortality rates from an array of preventable diseases, including malaria, measles, and diphtheria. Secondary and tertiary care have also been greatly affected, due to declining investment, out-migration of providers, and spiralling hyperinflation that has driven the country and its people into poverty.1 As is so often, and so tragically, the case, the most affected populations have been the most vulnerable: infants and children, their mothers, the poor (now the great majority of the populations), and indigenous people

Prioritise education in conflict-affected areas:
Across the world 28 million1 primary school-age children living in conflict-affected countries are
out-of-school, and they form half of the world’s total out-of-school population. During conflict,
infrastructure assets such as schools are damaged... or completely destroyed during fighting. Children
may choose to stay away from school due to their and their family’s safety fears in the midst of
conflict, or the need to supplement their family’s income amidst conflict-related financial loss.
Children who are internally displaced by conflict face a particularly challenging task accessing
education due to the specific conditions created by their displacement, such as loss of livelihoods
making school fees hard to find, and discrimination from host communities. Children caught in
conflict are being deprived of their right to education2 and denied the opportunity to benefit from the
protective and life-sustaining mechanisms of education.
