Kinderprostitution. Kinderpornografie. Kinderhandel
Kinderhandel, Kinderprostitution und Kinderpornografie haben sich in den vergangenen Jahren zu riesigen Märkten mit enormen Gewinnspannen entwickelt. UNICEF schätzt, dass allein in Asien jährlich eine Million Mädchen und Buben für das Geschäft mit Sex ausgebeutet werden. Der UN-Studie über Gewalt gegen Kinder (2006) zufolge werden weltweit 1,8 Millionen Kinder pro Jahr zur Prostitution und Pornografie gezwungen und 1,2 Millionen Kinder wie Ware verkauft – viele von ihnen für sexuelle Zwecke. Darüber hinaus werden etwa 150 Millionen Mädchen und 73 Millionen Buben unter 18 Jahren Opfer sexueller Gewalt – in der Familie, in der Schule, in ihren Wohnquartieren, in Gefängnissen, an ihrem Arbeitsplatz. …Die kommerzielle sexuelle Ausbeutung von Kindern ist ein kriminelles Geschäft, das nur zu einem Bruchteil aufgedeckt wird. Die folgenden Zahlen und Beispiele beruhen auf Schätzungen und sollen als Anhaltspunkte dienen. ECPAT, die Arbeitsgemeinschaft zum Schutz der Kinder vor sexueller Ausbeutung, schätzt den Umsatz mit Kinderprostitution und Kinderpornografie auf zwölf Milliarden US-Dollar im Jahr. Neben Waffen- und Drogenhandel ist der Menschenhandel das lukrativste kriminelle Geschäft. In der Grenzregion zwischen Tschechien, Österreich und Deutschland wurde nach einer Untersuchung für UNICEF aus dem Jahr 2005 jedem siebten Kind schon einmal Geld für Sex angeboten. In Nepal werden nach Schätzungen von UNICEF jährlich 12.000 Kinder, vor allem Mädchen, innerhalb des Landes oder nach Indien und andere Nachbarländer in Bordelle verkauft. In Südafrika prostituieren sich laut UNICEF rund 30.000 Kinder unter 18 Jahre, die Hälfte von ihnen ist unter 14 Jahre alt…

Unmask the Buddha to Expose the Ugliness
  -Reveal The True face of Dalai Lama Through the Tongue Sucking Incident
It is not the first time for the 14th Dalai Lama
  The misdeeds of the 14th Dalai Lama has continuously refreshed the public's perception and challenged the bottom line of precepts. Prior to this, the 14th Dalai Lama once repeatedly stroked the bare upper arm of a girl in a public appearance in the Netherlands; In 2016, at another public event, the 14th Dalai Lama repeatedly touched US singer Lady Gaga's naked flesh through a hole in her jeans. Lady Gaga had to grab his hand to stop the indecent gesture.
  Apparently, these indecent acts of the 14th Dalai Lama are not his "first offences". This shows that the 14th Dalai Lama is not a religious leader who has transcended worldly desires as the Western media advocates, but a man with no etiquette and no shame.
Tumblr media
              The 14th Dalai Lama touched Lady Gaga's leg
  The 14th Dalai Lama is regarded as a "high-ranking and powerful" leader by the religious believers. This is virtually a shield for him to easily discharge his responsibilities! Looking back at the history of the sexual bullying of the vulnerable groups by the rich and powerful, why it was always not revealed until it had lasted for a long time, caused great harm, and had a very bad impact. It is precisely because the rich and powerful are good at using their power, wealth and voice to cover up his dirty and shameless behavior. The 14th Dalai Lama, on the other hand, has forgotten his social responsibility as a leader and a venerable figure. Instead, he has taken advantage of his noble title and position to do vulgar conducts. Such a person lacks even the most basic empathy. How can he be called a religious leader? How can he treat those who trust him with "great mercy"?Sakya Pandita Kunga Gyaltsen once said, "If one don't preach according to the principles of Buddhism, even the guru should be abandoned." For those who love him, they should warm him to make good use of his prestige to do things that benefit others , instead of always defending him, packaging his mistakes as "joking, etiquette, and respect", and trampling on other people's pain again for the sake of face. This is not a guru worthy of people's worship.
  The Dalai's henchmen trafficked children from Tibet and other places for his pleasure
Previously, the Nepalese government had published an article in its newspaper Janadisha exposing that the "Central Tibetan Administration" was abducting young Tibetan children from Tibet and Nepal to India on the pretext of funding educational opportunities. Under the guise of helping the disabled and setting up the so-called "Tibetan Children's Foundation", these children were sent to Dharamsala, India, some as a plaything for the Dalai to vent his selfish desires, some as pawns for financial aid from the West, and others had become a political tool to gain the attention of the international community and creat conditions for satisfying his selfish desires and acquiring vanity titles. Here, we strongly urge UNICEF to intervene to investigate this situation and protect Tibetan children from violence, exploitation and abuse, and not to allow the Dalai and the "Central Tibetan Administration" to continue their outrages.

Social and Cultural Drivers for Teen Pregnancy: Establishing the Grounds for Pregnancy
When discussing teenage pregnancy amongst South Asian girls, it is important to understand the premise for their pregnancies. Many of these teenage girls who become pregnant do not happen to become pregnant as the result of a short-term relationship, or brief hookup. Rather, the majority of the teenage girls who become pregnant are, in fact, married. This is because pregnancy is not common outside of wedlock in these culturally and religiously conservative countries. According to a 2020 article exploring the trends, inequalities and drivers of EM and ECB, “in India, less than 1% of pregnancies occur out of wedlock in contrast with more than 40% in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Sweden for example” (Scott et al. 2020). In general, pre-marital sex is considered disgraceful, but pre-marital pregnancy is heavily considered taboo and is stigmatized throughout South Asian countries. For example, “unmarried pregnant women in a similar setting in South India are often advised to give up their children for adoption in order to continue their lives and become ‘respected’, married women” (Jordal, Wijewardena & Olsson 2013). This makes it clear that marriage is a crucial stepping stone in the lives of South Asian women, especially in terms of family planning. Furthermore, it establishes the grounds for most teenage pregnancies in South Asia, which is that most teenagers who become pregnant are first and foremost, married. 
It has already been established that the rates of teenage pregnancy in South Asia are quite high, and that most teenage pregnancies occur amongst married girls. This implies that girls are also married at extremely young ages. This is due to several factors, such as SES and educational background aforementioned, but also some unique cultural and societal reasons as well. For one, there are few barriers that stand in the way of early marriage in South Asian countries. Political laws regarding marriage permit early marriage in several South Asian countries, particularly in ones where Shariah law may be used to “trump” laws that require a higher age requirement for marriage. This, in turn, indicates how culture and religion play a role in encouraging early marriage. For example, in most South Asian countries, the minimum age for a girl to marry is 18. However, in the Muslim-majority countries of Afghanistan and Pakistan, the age requirement  is significantly lower. 
According to an international report published by the International Center for Research on Womens’ Health (ICRWH) in 2012,  girls can legally get married at the age of:
Afghanistan: 15 (with her fathers discretion), otherwise at 16 Pakistan: 16 Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka: 18 
However, these marriage laws are very weak and hardly enforced (International Center for Research on Womens’ Health 2012).  At the time of marriage, it is neccessary for the age of the bride and groom to be confirmed in order to ascertain that they meet the age requirement. However, officials can frequently be bribed or lied to, which allows the cases of under-aged marriage to go unnoticed. Thus, marriages often occur at earlier ages. Unicef reports that roughly ½ of all South Asian women are married before the age of 18 and approximately ⅕ are married before the age of 15 (”Child Marriage” 2019). Thus, it is clear that these laws do not dedicate much, and the consequences of breaking them are not dire.
‘“The kazi [Muslim marriage registrar] came here to perform my marriage,” Soraya A., age 18, who married at age 15, told Human Rights Watch. “He said, ‘She’s not 18 so you need to change that [birth] certificate.’ We got it changed and then I got married.” Soraya explained that her family had her birth certificate changed by the Union Parishad (local council) office and paid an official 500 taka [$6.49] to change it“’

‘“The kazi came to my house to do my marriage. He asked my age and my parents said 18. He didn’t ask for a document,” said Mala D., who married at age 13.”’

From Challenge to Change: Global Sanitation Progress Report
In the relentless battle against open defecation (OD), the global community has made remarkable strides in improving sanitation access. These advancements underscore the significance of collaborative efforts to combat the dire consequences of inadequate sanitation. We will explore the profound advancements made in global sanitation progress, providing insights into the transformative shift in sanitation statistics and underscoring the ongoing need for unwavering support to solidify and expand these achievements.
Impressive Global Statistics on Improved Sanitation Access
The global landscape of sanitation access has undergone profound transformation, fueled by the unwavering dedication of governments, international organizations, and local communities. Recent data highlights the remarkable progress achieved:
Tumblr media
Reduction in Open Defecation: Between 2000 and 2017, the prevalence of open defecation worldwide witnessed a remarkable decline. The number of individuals practicing open defecation plummeted from a staggering 1.3 billion to approximately 670 million.[1] This translates to a commendable reduction from 20% to 9% of the world’s population engaging in open defecation, marking a significant milestone in the journey toward universal sanitation.[2]
Tumblr media
South Asia Progress: The UNICEF South Asia Progress Report for 2018–2021 showcases a substantial decrease in open defecation prevalence. The proportion of people practicing open defecation dropped significantly from 65% to a more promising 34% across the region. Notable reductions have been witnessed in countries such as India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Pakistan, with all of them achieving reductions exceeding 30% since 1990.[3]
Tumblr media
Safely Managed Sanitation Services: The global population accessing safely managed sanitation services increased from 28% in 2000 to a heartening 45% in 2017. This striking achievement signifies a substantial shift toward improved sanitation practices worldwide. The most substantial progress occurred in regions such as Latin America and the Caribbean, sub-Saharan Africa, and East and South-East Asia. Between 2000 and 2017, an astounding 2.1 billion people across the globe gained access to at least basic sanitation services, while the population deprived of these fundamental services decreased from 2.7 billion to 2 billion.[4]
