deafblindness is a handicap minorities and Kenya, there are 10 specialized centers only. Edwin Osundwa written on the steps that are performed to make education more inclusive
In the coming months, a new program will be implemented in 10 blind Kenyan education in special schools units. This is the result of a collaboration between the Kenya Institute of Education (KIE), which will hopefully lead to a better quality of education for deaf-blind children in the country Kenya Sense and international.
Many specialized teachers struggled without a curriculum. Classes can be chaotic, lack of management and teachers have asked us what they could do to ensure good ground is covered and how to measure children's progress.
The result KIE approached to ask if they wanted to work with us to create a new national program for children who are deaf and blind. In the coming months, we worked with KIE bring us a lot of practical experience working with deaf-blind children and their families and the desire to create a program that would improve the quality of education for children and allow us to measure their progress.
also organized for parents of deaf-blind children and teachers to share their views on what should be included in the new program. Parents often have their own vision of the skills a child deaf-blind need help around the house or that your child has found most useful to learn at school. Was essential that were included in the process.
One of the biggest challenges we face at work was the level of bureaucracy that had to be forded to introduce the new program. This ranged from delays in the approval of certain sections of the curriculum for small repairs that take a long time. Teachers with whom we work are often frustrated by the time required for the new curriculum to make, hoping to see results sooner rather than later. There was also a general election during which meant some idle while new leaders have taken aspects. As with any major project, disputes over money for the resources available has also been a difficult and remains a challenge.
However, the hard work has paid off and the resulting new program will ensure that students receive constant blind education that meets your needs and can help you prepare for life after school.
There are about 17,000 deafblind people in Kenya, without the intervention and support that many of them are short and lonely lives. The school and the possibility of a formal education is not always an option for these children. For some families, the distance to an appropriate educational placement is too much or too high cost of boarding fees. In Tanzania, the government pays for, and we encourage the Kenyan government to adopt a similar policy. The next big project for us is the development of a standard program for those who are educated at home to ensure that they receive the same benefits that children in schools. We have received funding for this work and will start in September AusAID.

An investigation into the death of Mubenga this week recorded a verdict of unlawful killing. Emine Saner talks to his widow Adrienne Kambana about a battle won and lost a husband
AdriennePolice Makenda Kambana called from the phone to her husband. Their number had blinked and she ran to him, thinking it was the call he promised to his arrival in Angola, after losing a long battle against deportation. When he heard the unknown voice on the phone, saying he was the police, he dropped in shock.
She knew that something terrible had happened, and she was afraid. He asked his brother-in-law to come, he called the police for her. All they said was that they had to talk to Adrienne, and he said, was when she learned that her husband was dead.
few hours earlier, Jimmy Mubenga was put on a plane, accompanied by three G4S private security contractors, the multinational that seems to shake notorious scandal to another - after the failure of last year G4S to meet the contract to provide security guards for the Olympic Games, it was announced this week face an investigation by the Serious Fraud Office for allegedly overcharging the Department of tens of millions of pounds of justice in their contracts Electronic marking. Worse still are the accusations of racism, and the use of force, including children and a pregnant woman, according to a report last year.
We meet in the London offices of the investigation of the organizing campaign, Adrienne supported in its efforts to discover what happened to her husband aboard a British Airways plane on Tuesday, October 2010 a night and was scheduled to take off. It is a dignified elegant woman. She speaks in halting phrases. When eye contact is rare, I can see who is on the verge of tears.
An investigation into the death of Mubenga ended this week with a jury returned a verdict of unlawful killing. They heard that there was a struggle and Mubenga had been severely limited by the guards for about 35 minutes, his hands cuffed behind his back. Bent forward in his seat - the guards had claimed he was - Mubenga wept, saying he could not breathe. When it was quiet and it was something that was not obvious, the plane, then taxi to the runway, returned to base and paramedics were called.
president of the jury, said: "Based on the evidence we have heard, we find that Mr. Mubenga was pushed or held by one or more of the guards, which makes breathing is difficult The guards ... in our opinion, would have known that would have caused Mr. Mubenga wrong with their actions, but a serious injury. "
eight weeks of research highlighted a number of problems with evictions and private security companies contracted to carry out: the restraint methods, even if they are known to carry deadly risks The alleged lack of training, such as private security guards are paid according to the eviction is executed successfully or not, the nature of the people who work as guards (two of the three escorting Mubenga is found to have a large number of very racist texts on their phones).
Adriennenot give details on how her husband died. At some point, he said Mubenga must have had a heart attack, which seems unlikely since he was 46 years old and a strong and fit man. "I could not believe he was dead," he said quietly. "Like what?" His children - five years, the oldest now 19 years old and the youngest of three - had returned home the day the police called to find her crying. Everything she said, again and again, is: ".. They were shocked Shocked"
A week later, she could see her body. "It looked like he was sleeping. The children wanted to go, but I said no." She and Mubenga had known in Angola in 1992 and have been together for nine months before marrying. "She was a good person. Tranquilo. S 'Why I liked it. "She hesitates to talk about what led them to come to the United Kingdom in 1994, but the lawyer Mubenga previously said he was a student leader in a country plagued by civil war, which had received death threats. Adrienne first came in March, during pregnancy. She gave birth to her first child, two months later, and arrived in June Mubenga his new family and life.
eventually settled in Ilford, two were granted exceptional leave to remain in 2000 (Adrienne is now a British citizen). Mubenga worked as a truck driver, and she was a hair and beauty course at the university. It describes Mubenga as a devoted father, trying to organize their movements so that they can pick up the kids at school almost every day. "Parents at the school, they do not know me," he said, smiling. "They see me once a week. 10 minutes before would talk to other parents. "

family planning services require real political will to defend the rights of women, not only in cash
Lately, almost every week someone asks me when I'll have children. Sexist? A little. Boring? Many.
if or when to have children is a very personal decision that changes your life. Fortunately, I have all the tools you need to decide for myself. I have access to family planning methods, and income to pay for them. More importantly, I have the power in my relationships, my family and my country to choose to use them, without too much pressure (as well as subtle hints of the mother).
I am a victim of sexual assault or domestic violence, so I feel safe at home. I know that, for now, I'll have an income, even if I'm pregnant, and I will be eligible for benefits through work or social insurance. I do not have health insurance. I know if I have a daughter, she will be very well received in our family. I have 10 children if I want to - and if I choose to have no, that's fine too. Millions of women and girls do not have that chance.
A year ago, on July 11, governments and donors gathered for a World Summit on Family Planning in London. They pledged to spend $ 2.6 billion on family planning in developing countries. Following this initiative, more than two dozen governments are working on plans to include family planning in their health programs. This is an incredible feat. But do you really give women control over their family size? Human Rights Watch and many other organizations, including the Center for Reproductive Health and Amnesty International has expressed concern that the summit did little to defend the rights of women and girls.
"We need to look at the access [women] the point of view," said Melinda Gates, one of the driving forces behind the summit and a major donor initiatives reproductive health. " Can every woman who wants to get contraceptives without coercion or discrimination? "
There is still very little is done to deal with the laws and practices that make coercion and reinforce discrimination. It is politically much more difficult to treat than the mere opening of other health centers or increase contraceptive products. Our work has shown that when health initiatives are not based on the human rights of women, do not offer. Here are two ways not adequately undermining efforts to improve family planning.
Landmark decision of the Supreme Court did not resolve the problems faced by couples in states where gay marriage is not legal
After half a decade pretending to be a friend, roommate, and in a military hospital after the birth of her first son, the sister of his longtime partner, Ashley finally Broadway was recognized by the U.S. government and the U.S. military as his legal spouse.
Broadway, a teacher, and Lieutenant-Colonel Heather Mack, logistics manager, the repeal of the marriage law of Defense (Doma) of the Supreme Court last week was an important step in his long personal struggle for equality. They and their two children are now eligible for the same benefits that the Department of Defense provides to opposite-sex couples, including including health insurance, severance and separation from family access to military installations. Mack Army records will change from single to married.
this will continue throughout the Mack military career, no matter where it is published, even if it is a state or a country where the marriage between persons of the same sex is not legal . But when the couple, who married in Washington DC, the basic step outside Fort Bragg, North Carolina, where Mack is parked, will be reconsidered again in foreign-regular situation.
Broadway, 39, a teacher who successfully fought for the official club partner membership after being released earlier this year, said the repeal Doma: "It is a big, big time, because, ultimately, in the eyes of the federal government and the army, which is considered the husband of Heather. God forbid, if something would happen to him when deployed, but if I did not have to meet all the legal issues are not recognized as a spouse.
"But the reality is that we live in North Carolina. North Carolina and treats me like her roommate."
North Carolina is one of 37 states without marriage equality, so that even if the federal government recognizes same-sex marriage, the state does not. North Carolina is among 31 states that go beyond, with amendments to the state constitution that defines marriage between a man and a woman.
is ironic that the military, forcing Mack Broadway and live in the shadows for years, the policy of do not ask, do not tell - a rule repealed in October 2011, which prohibited openly gay members to serve - now gives the couple a network of financial and legal security, however, the outside world, leaving large holes.
If you have a living and married in Massachusetts, but then moved to Pennsylvania, where I live couple have been married for a while, then stops. If then moved to Iowa, they were married again by magic.
living or traveling if states without marriage equality, Broadway said, can be full of hidden dangers. Experience has shown that the order of President Obama despite prohibits hospitals that accept Medicare and Medicaid funds to refuse visits or requests or proxy for same-sex couples, not all the staff of the hospital are aware. The couple always deliver a file of legal documents such as wills, powers of attorney and medical information, they hope to ensure that they are treated the same as any other married couple. Broadway had it with her when Mack and her newborn son, Carson, had to be moved to other hospitals intensive car.
When the Department of Defense will begin issuing benefits to same-sex couples, Broadway is $ 500 per month better off, since you can go Mack insurance. Mack biological children, Carson and Carley are automatically granted the same rights as children of heterosexual marriages, as dependents. They can participate in programs and Fort Bragg military schools.
But the law of the State is that the North Carolina Broadway, who left his job to take care of the children full time, which has no moral voice in their care. It does not recognize second-parent adoptions, making it unable to legally adopt them. She's afraid that if something happened to Mack could lose custody of their children.

The case has highlighted the need to integrate reproductive rights more firmly in international politics
Outrage
Treating a pregnant woman to 22 years in El Salvador, which has repeatedly denied potentially life-saving medical care because of the absolute prohibition of abortion in the country caused through world.
The woman known as Beatrice, has lupus and kidney disease and her fetus, a part of his skull and brain missing, which poses a real threat to your life. However, Beatriz has been waiting 14 weeks Salvadoran Supreme Court has repeatedly rejected the authority to terminate her pregnancy, although it could save your life. Salvadorans that under intense pressure from the European Court of Human Rights have expressed Inter found a loophole allows doctors to perform emergency cesarean Beatriz, after which the dead fetus.
Plight
Beatriznot uncommon severe prohibition of abortion in El Salvador, which does not allow women to terminate a pregnancy, even in cases of rape, incest or when the fetus and abnormalitiy their health or life is in danger. Women who reach the hospital bleeding are often accused of trying to have an abortion, and the judiciary is short prayer for women up to 30 years in prison for crimes they did not commit.
International law has long established that the denial of reproductive health services to women in life-threatening situations is a violation of human rights. If this is the case, then why countries like El Salvador still get away with it?
In large part, this is because there is not enough accountability for those countries that deny women their fundamental rights.
Sunday, delegates from the United Nations, governments and civil society will meet in The Hague for a four-day conference to try to advance this issue. The event is part of an overall process that takes place at the United Nations before the 20th anniversary of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), held in September 2014. The objective is to review and evaluate progress towards the goals to ensure the reproductive rights of women.
When the ICPD in Cairo in 1994, it was the first time the country came together to say that reproductive rights are human rights, and that states have the obligation to respect, protect and fulfill these rights for all citizens. These 179 countries are committed to reproductive autonomy of women and to provide women with the resources they need to choose the number and spacing of their children.
Nearly 20 years later, 222 million women who want to avoid pregnancy are unable to obtain modern contraceptives and rely on traditional techniques such as abstinence or methods based calendar . In 29 countries, legislation criminalizing abortion could not have explicit exceptions, even when the woman's life is in danger.
