Trẻ bị nhiễm HIV vẫn không được đi học đầy đủ

“Theo Luật Phòng chống HIV/AIDS, trẻ nhiễm HIV có quyền được học hành và không bị phân biệt đối xử.”

Tuy nhiên, trên thực tế, quyền lợi của trẻ bị nhiễm HIV lại bị xâm phạm. Trẻ không được học hành đầy đủ và không được đón nhận tại nhiều trường học. Phần lớn phụ huynh cũng không đồng ý cho con em mình học chung với trẻ có HIV vì sợ bị lây nhiễm.

HIV là bệnh không lây nhiễm khi tiếp xúc và hoàn toàn có thể kiểm soát. Việc để trẻ nhiễm HIV bị kỳ thị khi đến lớp là điều không thể chấp nhận được.

Chính sách khuyến sinh bằng tiền thưởng vẫn khó làm người dân muốn sinh con

“Dân số Việt Nam đã vượt mốc 100 triệu người vào năm 2025, tuy vậy sự sụt giảm mức sinh đi kèm với tuổi thọ tăng đang đẩy nhanh quá trình già hóa” (Trích).

Trước lo ngại về vấn đề già hóa dân số và thiếu hụt lực lượng lao động trong tương lai, VN đang đề ra biện pháp hỗ trợ tài chính và tăng nghỉ thai sản nhằm khuyến khích người dân sinh con. Tuy nhiên, chính sách khuyến sinh sẽ khó đạt hiệu quả khi đang vô tình tạo thêm áp lực sinh con cho phụ nữ và làm tăng định kiến xã hội với những cặp vợ chồng hiếm muộn.

The crime of killing baby girls – Female infanticide in India and China

gendercide.org

Female infanticide does not only occur in India and China, but in this case study we will focus on those two countries, two of the most populous countries in the world.

Note: China does not longer have a one-child policy. It was replaced with a two-child policy in 2015, and a three-child policy in 2021. This is expected to greatly decrease the prevalence of female infanticide and sex-selective abortions in China.

Introduction

In this article, female infanticide is the sex-selective killings of newborn female children due to a preference for male children. It typically results from, and is a reflection of, the low status of females in the surrounding culture, where males – and therefore also boys – are seen as more valuable than women and girls.

Findings from 18 years of a Global Study with Girls from Birth to Adulthood – Landmark study shows global gains for girls, but threats to progress loom

reliefweb.int 26 Feb 2026

Studied Countries: Vietnam, Benin, Brazil, Cambodia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, the Philippines, Togo, Uganda

Groundbreaking research from Plan International that has documented girls from birth for eighteen years reveals that globally, girls’ lives have improved significantly over the past two decades but identifies these gains are now at risk with the next wave of challenges approaching.

With improved access to education, girls are dreaming bigger and new laws protecting them from child marriage means they have broader choices in shaping their futures. But significant barriers – including widespread gender-based violence and the ever-worsening impacts of climate change – still stand in the way of equality.

Làm sao để nâng vị thế phụ nữ Việt trong khoa học?

Tại VN, phụ nữ làm việc trong lĩnh vực khoa học vẫn phải đối mặt với nhiều khó khăn và rào cản. Việc các nhà khoa học nữ thiếu cơ hội phát triển nghề nghiệp và khẳng định năng lực lãnh đạo phản ánh định kiến giới còn tồn tại trong lĩnh vực khoa học – công nghệ cũng như trong xã hội nói chung.

VN sẽ khó có thể bứt phá mạnh mẽ nếu trí tuệ của phụ nữ – vốn được xem là một nửa nguồn lực quý giá của xã hội – bị lãng phí. Vì vậy, Nhà nước cần tạo điều kiện thuận lợi để phụ nữ nâng cao năng lực trong lĩnh vực khoa học cũng như mọi lĩnh vực nghề nghiệp khác. Bởi đây là bước đi đúng đắn, góp phần thúc đẩy bình đẳng giới và đưa đất nước đi lên.

Dress Codes: Why don’t women get as many pockets as men?

By Jacqui Palumbo, CNN

Editor’s Note: Examining clothes through the ages, Dress Codes investigates how the rules of fashion have influenced different cultural arenas — and your closet.CNN — 

It’s a familiar exchange to many women: “I love your dress.” “Thanks, it has pockets!”

So coveted is the spacious inset pouch in womenswear that when they exist, they are likely to attract attention. Take Dua Lipa’s look at the 2023 Met Gala — a vintage, cream-colored Chanel gown with pockets she was able to slip her hands inside, to the delight of many internet users, or Emma Stone’s decision to stuff the exaggerated hip pockets of her red Louis Vuitton dress with popcorn at Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary celebration.

Usable pockets seem like an obvious feature to include in ready-to-wear garments, but that is far from the case. It is standard for dresses and skirts to be pocketless, and when pockets do exist in slacks and blazers, they can be deceptively small. Other times, they’re just deceptive: see the fake pockets that come as a shallow lip over a disappointing seam on a pair of jeans, or a jacket with flaps but no actual opening beneath it.

Yet the demand for pockets is clear. Online, fantasies for pocket space find a like-minded audience, from designer Nicole McLaughlin’s hyperfunctional creations made from upcycled materials (chip-and-dip work vest, anyone?) to Y2K throwback creator Erin Miller cramming childhood paraphernalia into her old JNCO jeans, Mary Poppins-style. The question is rinsed and repeated in forums and on social media: Why don’t women get as many pockets as men?

How the climate crisis fuels gender inequality

The climate crisis may be a collective problem, but its impacts do not fall equally. Women and girls often bear the heaviest burdens.

November 30, 2023

Editor’s note

This story is part of As Equals, CNN’s ongoing series on gender inequality. For information about how As Equals is funded and more, check out our FAQ.

Climate change acts as a threat multiplier, finding existing injustices and amplifying them. Women and girls already grapple with gender inequality, but when extreme weather devastates a community, the UN found that inequalities worsen: Intimate partner violence spikes, girls are pulled from school, daughters are married early, and women and girls forced from their homes face a higher risk of sexual exploitation and trafficking.

“When we look at who’s affected worse, who’s on the frontlines of the climate crisis, it’s primarily women — women in poor and vulnerable countries,” Selwin Hart, UN Special Adviser to the Secretary-General on Climate Action and Just Transition, told CNN. “And unfortunately, our policies or strategies are really not geared to address this challenge.”

To explore the complex links between gender and climate change, CNN worked with seven women photojournalists who spent time with women and girls in seven countries across the Global South to document the challenges they face.

This visual project gives a snapshot of the myriad ways the human-induced climate crisis is upending their lives, but also shows how they are fighting back. Every image shows both struggle and survival, the battle to live a decent life in a swiftly changing climate.

Girls’ education in Nigeria

The Center for Girls’ Education runs a series of programs in Nigeria to help girls stay in school. One in every five of the world’s children who are out of school is in Nigeria, according to UNICEF, and it is girls who are impacted the most.

Photographs by Taiwo Aina for CNN

More than 10 million children between 5 and 14 years old are absent from classrooms across Nigeria, according to UNICEF. For girls, the statistics are even bleaker: In states in the northeast and northwest of the country, fewer than half attend school.

This education crisis is the result of a tangle of factors, including poverty, geography and gender discrimination, the UN agency adds. But against the backdrop of these individual factors is the broader context of the climate crisis.

Nigeria is growing hotter and dryer, and extreme weather such as flash floods and landslides are becoming fiercer and more frequent. Climate disasters can make schools inaccessible and classrooms unsafe. Communities struggling to cope with extreme weather sometimes turn to their children to help or to earn extra money to support the family. And girls, whose attendance at school is already discouraged in some communities, are often most affected.

For every additional year the average girl attends school, her country’s resilience to climate disasters can be expected to improve by 3.2 points on an index that measures vulnerability to climate-related disasters, according to estimates from the Brookings Institution.

There are efforts to support girls’ education and equip them with the resources to cope with a fast-changing climate. The Center for Girls’ Education in the northern Nigerian city of Zaria runs programs to help girls stay in school and offers training on how to cope with the impacts of extreme weather.

“I feel when we give the girls education on climate change, how to mitigate it, it will go a long way in helping the girls in how to support themselves in times of difficulties, and even help them prepare for it,” said Habiba Mohammed, director of the Center for Girls’ Education.

Only 0.5% of neuroscience studies look at women’s health

Neuroscience has Underserved Women. That’s Changing

A symmetrical pattern of brains are shown against a light-blue background.

Neuroscientists are making strides in mapping and understanding the human brain, but like many other scientific fields, neuroscientific research has suffered from gender bias: men have been studied far more than women.

Since it came on the scene, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), where a magnetic camera looks through the skull and captures pictures of a living brain, mountains of neuroimaging studies have been made by scientists eagerly delving into the most complex organ we have. It’s led to amazing discoveries and insights, and revolutionised our understanding of how we function.

But the neuroscientific investigation into brain health in relation to conditions only affecting women, girls, and people who have or have had menstrual periods, has been comparably pitifully small.

My name’s Livia. I’m a freelance science writer and journalism student, and I found myself diving into this as I wondered why hormonal birth control, several decades after its invention, still causes negative effects on many users’ moods and well-being. Shouldn’t somebody have looked into how our brains get affected when we go on the pill — and created something better?

It turns out that this large neuroscience knowledge gap leaves billions of people in the dark about the organ that creates their lived experiences, affects drug development, and is bad for science, generally.

It’s time for neuroscience to catch up.

The deadly truth about a world built for men – from stab vests to car crashes

theguardian.com

Crash-test dummies based on the ‘average’ male are just one example of design that forgets about women – and puts lives at risk

Caroline Criado PerezSat 23 Feb 2019 08.59 GMTShare822

When broadcaster Sandi Toksvig was studying anthropology at university, one of her female professors held up a photograph of an antler bone with 28 markings on it. “This,” said the professor, “is alleged to be man’s first attempt at a calendar.” Toksvig and her fellow students looked at the bone in admiration. “Tell me,” the professor continued, “what man needs to know when 28 days have passed? I suspect that this is woman’s first attempt at a calendar.”

Women have always tracked their periods. We’ve had to. Since 2015, I’ve been reliant on a period tracker app, which reassures me that there’s a reason I’m welling up just thinking about Andy Murray’s “casual feminism”. And then there’s the issue of the period itself: when you will be bleeding for up to seven days every month, it’s useful to know more or less when those seven days are going to take place. Every woman knows this, and Toksvig’s experience is a neat example of the difference a female perspective can make, even to issues that seem entirely unrelated to gender.

For most of human history, though, that perspective has not been recorded. Going back to the theory of Man the Hunter, the lives of men have been taken to represent those of humans overall. When it comes to the other half of humanity, there is often nothing but silence. And these silences are everywhere. Films, news, literature, science, city planning, economics, the stories we tell ourselves about our past, present and future, are all marked – disfigured – by a female-shaped “absent presence”. This is the gender data gap.

These silences, these gaps, have consequences. They impact on women’s lives, every day. The impact can be relatively minor – struggling to reach a top shelf set at a male height norm, for example. Irritating, certainly. But not life-threatening. Not like crashing in a car whose safety tests don’t account for women’s measurements. Not like dying from a stab wound because your police body armour doesn’t fit you properly. For these women, the consequences of living in a world built around male data can be deadly.

The gender data gap is both a cause and a consequence of the type of unthinking that conceives of humanity as almost exclusively male. In the 1956 musical My Fair Lady, phoneticist Henry Higgins is baffled when, after enduring months of his hectoring put-downs, his protege-cum-victim Eliza Doolittle finally bites back. “Why can’t a woman be more like a man?” he grumbles.

Love Man Love Woman – Chuyện thày Đức

A film by Nguyễn Trinh Thi (2007).

In this documentary, the filmmaker follows Master Luu Ngoc Duc, one of the most prominent spirit mediums in Hanoi, and his vibrant community through their rituals and everyday life. The film explores how effeminate and gay men in homophobic Vietnam have traditionally found community and expression in the country’s popular Mother Goddess Religion, Đạo Mẫu.
