Wanafunzi 5,000 watimuliwa kwa ujauzito


Na Hellen Ngoromera
WANAFUNZI 5,157 wa sekondari wamefukuzwa shule mwaka 2011 kutokana na kugundulika kupata ujauzito.
Hayo yalielezwa jana jijini Dar es Salaam na mratibu wa mafunzo ya jinsia kutoka Wizara ya Elimu na Mafunzo ya Ufundi, Winifrida Rutaindurwa katika semina ya waandishi wa habari kuhusu changamoto zinazowakabili watoto wa kike.
Akizungumza katika semina hiyo iliyoandaliwa na Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia Watoto (UNICEF), alisema idadi hiyo ambayo ni sawa na asilimia 6.8 ni ndogo ikilinganishwa na ya waliobainika kupata ujauzito na kufukuzwa mwaka 2010 ambao walikuwa 5,346 sawa na asilimia 8.1.
Kwa mujibu wa mtaribu huyo, katika utafiti wao wamebaini kwamba vyanzo vikuu vya tatizo hilo ni ukosefu wa usafiri wa uhakika kwa wanafunzi hao hali inayowafanya wengi wao hasa wanaosoma mijini kushawishika na lifti.
Vyanzo vingine ni umbali wa shule na maeneo wanayoishi, ukosefu wa mabweni kwa wanaosoma shule za kutwa na nyingine, matumizi mabaya ya teknolojia ikiwemo televisheni, mitandao ya kijamii kama face book, twiter na vingine.
Alisema ili kuepuka matatizo hayo, ni vyema jamii ikatambua kwamba watoto wa kike pia wanapaswa kupewa fursa kama walivyo watoto wa kiume hasa katika masomo.

Mushikiwabo to UN: Enhance civilian protection

By Eugene Kwibuka Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation has urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to invest more energy in the prevention of conflicts for better protection of civilians living in conflict-torn areas. Rwanda’s Foreign minister, Louise Mushikiwabo Louise Mushikiwabo made the call during an open debate on the protection of civilians in armed conflict which the UNSC held in New York on Tuesday. “Rwanda’s core message today is that enhancing the protection of civilians in armed conflict requires action before a conflict starts. The proliferation of non-state armed groups makes civilian protection both more urgent, and harder to achieve,” she said. For better protection of civilians in armed-conflict areas, the minister emphasised the need to increase investments in professionalising the military and police forces through adequate training. “Only when the leadership of armed forces shares the international...

He was 75. The death, from complications from sepsis, was confirmed by his manager, Tom Goldfogle. Mr. Brown had been hospitalized for pneumonia.

Like a DJ blending records, Mr. Brown used nonstop percussion to stitch songs together and keep the crowd on the dance floor, resulting in marathon performances that went deep into the night. Mr. Brown said the style got its name because “the music j...
