Les Principes De JOGJAKARTA

Tous les êtres humains naissent libres et égaux en dignité et en droits. Tous les droits humains sont universels, interdépendants, indivisibles et intimement liés. L’orientation sexuelle et l’identité de genre font partie intégrante de la dignité et de l’humanité de toute personne et ne doivent pas être à l’origine de discriminations ou d’abus.

Les Principes de Jogjakarta (Principes sur l’application de la législation internationale des droits humains en matière d’orientation sexuelle et d’identité de genre) affirment les normes juridiques internationales obligatoires auxquelles les États doivent se conformer. Ils promettent un futur différent, où tous les êtres humains, nés libres et égaux en dignité et en droits, pourront jouir de ces précieux droits acquis lors de leur naissance même.

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. All human rights are universal, interdependent, indivisible and interrelated. Sexual orientation and gender identity are integral to the dignity and humanity of every person and should not be a basis for discrimination or abuse.

The Yogyakarta Principles (Principles on the Application of International Human Rights Law in relation to Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity) affirm binding international legal standards to which states must adhere. They promise a different future, one in which all human beings, born free and equal in dignity and rights, will be able to enjoy these precious rights acquired at birth itself.

WHO Simulation Exercise Manual

A simulation exercise is a form of practice, training, monitoring or evaluation of capabilities involving the description or simulation of an emergency, to which a described or simulated response is made.

Simulation exercises enable people to practice their roles and functions and can help to develop, assess and test functional capabilities of emergency systems, procedures and mechanisms to respond to outbreak and public health emergencies. They are used to identify gaps and enhance preparedness capacity for response before an actual emergency occurs.

This manual provides an overview of the different simulation exercise tools and guidelines developed and used by WHO.

    My Hero is You, How Kids can Fight COVID-19!

    This is a new story book that aims to help children understand and come to terms with COVID-19 has been produced by a collaboration of more than 50 organizations working in the humanitarian sector, including the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children’s Fund, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and Save the Children.

    With the help of a fantasy creature, Ario, “My Hero is You, How kids can fight COVID-19!” explains how children can protect themselves, their families and friends from coronavirus and how to manage difficult emotions when confronted with a new and rapidly changing reality.

    The book – aimed primarily at children aged 6-11 years old – is a project of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee Reference Group on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings, a unique collaboration of United Nations agencies, national and international nongovernmental organizations and international agencies providing mental health and psychosocial support in emergency settings.

    During the early stages of the project, more than 1700 children, parents, caregivers and teachers from around the world shared how they were coping with the COVID-19 pandemic. The input was invaluable to script writer and illustrator Helen Patuck and the project team in making sure that the story and its messages resonated with children from different backgrounds and continents.

    In order to reach as many children as possible, the book will be widely translated, with six language versions released today and more than 30 others in the pipeline. It is being released as both an online product and audio book.

          COVID-19 Global Risk Communication and Community Engagement Strategy

          There is an unprecedented need to elevate the role risk communication and community engagement (RCCE) plays in breaking the chains of transmission and mitigating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

          Until biomedical tools such as vaccines or treatments are developed and widely available, people’s behaviour and their willingness to follow public health and social measures remain the most powerful tools to stop the spread of the virus.

          The COVID-19 Global Risk Communication and Community Engagement Strategy, December 2020 – May 2021 provides an important update for member states and supporting partners. The updated strategy is underpinned by a socio-behavioral trends analysis and builds on the learnings from the response to-date. The shift presented in the document is towards the community engagement and participatory approaches that have been proven to help control and eliminate outbreaks in the past.

          The overarching goal of the strategy: That people-centred and community-led approaches are championed widely – resulting in increased trust and social cohesion, and ultimately a reduction in the negative impacts of COVID-19.
