Es la primera vez que Merkel figura en la lista.
|
La jefa de gobierno de Alemania,
Angela Merkel, superó a la secretaria de Estado de Estados Unidos,
Condoleezza Rice, como la mujer más poderosa del mundo, afirmó la revista
Forbes.
El poder cambió de manos después de dos años en los que
se impuso Rice, quien en esta ocasión quedó en segundo puesto en la lista
que ordena a las cien mujeres con más influencia en el mundo.
La ministra de Relaciones Exteriores del Reino Unido,
Margaret Beckett ocupa el puesto 29, mientras que Cherie Blair, esposa del
primer ministro británico Tony Blair, desapareció de la lista después de
haber estado en el puesto 62.
Para elaborar esta lista, Forbes toma en cuenta la
visibilidad en los medios así como su impacto económico.
Las más nuevas
Cabe señalar que Merkel no calificó en el listado de
2005, al igual que la presidenta de Chile, Michelle Bachelet y sus
homólogas surcoreana y liberiana. Todas ellas aparecen este año por
primera vez.

FORO DE MUJERES DEL MERCOSUR
FORO DE MUJERES |
|
La ciudad bonaerense de La Plata será el escenario de
un foro regional de mujeres donde se analizarán distintas cuestiones
políticas y sociales, abordadas desde una perspectiva de género.
|
|
Buenos Aires, agosto de 2006 (RIS- Argentina)
Para debatir sobre el diseño de estrategias que impulsen la integración de
la mujer en la región se realizará el 7 y 8 de septiembre el XII Encuentro
Regional del Foro de Mujeres del MERCOSUR, en la ciudad bonaerense de La
Plata. |
|
La integración con responsabilidad social es el lema del
encuentro en el que se debatirán temas como alianzas estratégicas para la
integración, medioambiente, Responsabilidad Social Empresaria (RSE) y
recuperación de la relación entre la ética y la economía, entre otros.
También se disertará sobre equidad de género en la región, impacto de los
procesos de integración económica, generación de acciones en pos de un
verdadero proceso de integración y relaciones culturales en el Mercosur.
La iniciativa es organizada por el Foro de Mujeres del MERCOSUR,
una organización social creada en 1995, e integrada por mujeres que se
desempeñan en sectores políticos, empresariales, sindicales y del campo de
la educación y la cultura, y que a su vez forman parte de instituciones
sociales de Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay y Brasil.
Elisa Schuster,
miembro de la comisión organizadora, señaló que a través del encuentro
“buscamos la integración de la mujer. Avanzamos mucho en ese sentido, pero
no es suficiente. Queremos formar parte de las decisiones, que se tome en
cuenta y se instale la mirada de la mujer, la discusión, la participación
y el aporte de todos los sectores sobre la base de nuestra necesaria
presencia en el Mercosur”, remarcó.
La actividad tendrá lugar en
el Hotel Howard Johnson Inn Corregidor, ubicado en la calle 6 número 1026,
en La Plata. Una de las misiones principales del foro será fortalecer la
capacidad y las oportunidades del liderazgo femenino en la región. En ese
sentido, en forma periódica la organización elabora proyectos y desarrolla
actividades de capacitación. Uno de los logros que obtuvo la entidad fue
que el órgano ejecutivo del Mercosur creó, en 1998, la Reunión
Especializada de la Mujer y nombró al Foro de Mujeres del Mercosur como su
organismo asesor. |

El Estad Mundial de la Infancia de este
año defenderá que uno de los principales obstáculos para el cumplimiento de los
derechos de la infancia y el logro de los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio es
la discriminación que sufre la mujer.
El informe señalará dos cuestiones:
1. Que hay una doble discriminación: las
sociedades que discriminan contra la mujer discriminan también contra los niños.
2. Que cuando se habilita a la mujer para que tome decisiones, ésta
tiene una mayor capacidad para lograr que se hagan realidad sus propios derechos
y para apoyar los derechos de la infancia.
Con el objetivo de que nos ayuden a expresar el
papel importante que desempeña la mujer en el bienestar de la infancia nos
gustaría que nos envíen la fotografía de una mujer clave en tu vida - tu madre,
tu hermana, tu maestra, una amiga - que haya sido una fuente de inspiración y
apoyo especialmente importante.
Las fotos deben incluir una explicación de 250
palabras donde se indique quién es la mujer y cómo te ha inspirado. Incluye
también tu nombre, edad, dirección postal y dirección de email si es posible.
Aceptaremos las presentaciones en voy@unicef.org o en La Juventud Opina, Room
1004, 3 UN Plaza, New York City, NY 10017 hasta el viernes 8 de septiembre
2006.

Rep. Democrática del Congo: Violencia Sexual
Aun en los lugares de la República Democrática del Congo donde ha cesado la
lucha, la violencia sexual sigue lastimando a los niños, las niñas y las
mujeres
Prensa UNICEF/Patagonia Ciber Fem
 |
© UNICEF video |
Selina, de 12 años de edad, es una de las
víctimas de la violencia sexual. A pesar de que su historia es
estremecedora, no se trata de un caso excepcional. Se calcula que en la
República Democrática del Congo cientos de miles de mujeres, niñas y niños
han sido víctimas de violaciones
sexuales. |
Por David McKenzie
En el informe La infancia en peligro: La República
Democrática del Congo, UNICEF pone de relieve las consecuencias que han tenido
para los niños y niñas de ese país los largos años de conflicto y desorden. Se
trata del último de tres informes especiales de la serie La infancia en peligro
elaborados por David McKenzie, corresponsal de UNICEF.
KISANGANI, República Democrática del Congo, 4 de agosto de 2006 - Más allá de
la bruma y los densos bosques que cubren las orillas del Río Congo, en la
localidad de Kisangani acampan miles de milicianos y efectivos del ejército
gubernamental. Se trata de un osado experimento, cuyo objetivo consiste en
integrar pacíficamente a esos antiguos enemigos, lo que constituye un paso
fundamental para garantizar la paz futura.
Sin embargo, la presencia de esos ex combatientes es motivo de dolor para las
mujeres y los niños y niñas de la región.
"La violencia sexual es aquí cosa de todos los días", afirma Michel Magayane,
un trabajador social. "Todos los días ocurren nuevos casos". El Sr. Magayane
dice que los culpables pertenecen, en su mayoría, a las fuerzas militares, y
cree que en más de un 70% de los casos se trata de violaciones de niños y niñas.
La víctima más joven tenía cuatro años de edad.
A pesar de que en Kisangani ya no se combate con las armas, la violencia
sexual sigue siendo un terrible legado de la guerra en la República Democrática
del Congo.
La violación como arma de
guerra
Selina, una niña de 12 años de edad que hoy luce un vestido
color rosa con vivos blancos, está sentada en un cuarto en penumbras. Las
heridas que sufrió a manos de su agresor todavía son evidentes, así como el
dolor que siente la niña al contar lo que le sucedió.
"Estaba recogiendo agua cuando sentí que alguien se acercaba por detrás",
recuerda. "Noté que se trataba de alguien de uniforme. El hombre cogió una
piedra, me la metió en la boca y me arrastró hasta que quedamos ocultos por la
maleza". Ninguna de las personas que pasaba por un camino cercano escuchó los
gritos de Selina mientras el soldado la violaba. Cuando alguien finalmente
acudió en su ayuda, el violador ya había huido.
Aunque la historia de Selina resulte estremecedora, no se trata de un caso
excepcional. Se calcula que cientos de miles de mujeres, niños y niñas han sido
violados en la República Democrática del Congo, una nación lacerada por la
violencia sexual.
"Durante la guerra, las violaciones se usaban como arma para humillar a las
mujeres y fracturar a las familias", afirma la profesora Pierra Kalala, una
psicóloga que ha trabajado en las regiones del país más afectadas por ese
flagelo. "La mayoría de las mujeres viven hoy en un estado de temor".
 |
© UNICEF video |
Michel Magayane, trabajador social,
juega con una niña de nueve años de edad que fue víctima de una violación.
Tras dos meses de convalecencia en un hospital, la niña se ha recuperado
físicamente, pero aún teme a casi todos los
adultos. |
Los peligros de las enfermedades de transmisión
sexual
Las violaciones tienen consecuencias muy
graves, especialmente en un país donde la población no cuenta con atención
médica adecuada. En esas circunstancias, las violaciones sexuales pueden
provocar lesiones físicas permanentes. Con frecuencia, las fístulas no reciben
tratamiento y no se detectan los casos de contagio de enfermedades. Las mujeres
violadas huyen de los lugares donde vivían debido al peligro de difamación. En
Kisangani, los agresores suelen jactarse de sus "conquistas", y los casos
de violencia sexual rara vez son denunciados o procesados.
Los violadores se amparan en supersticiones locales para llevar a cabo sus
terribles acciones. Afirman, por ejemplo, que al violar a una niña de corta edad
tendrán más suerte en los negocios o ganarán más dinero. Una niña de nueve años
de edad de Kisangani estuvo dos meses internada en un hospital debido a que
había sido violada por un adolescente. Hasta la fecha, el agresor continúa
burlándose de ella cada vez que la ve. Aquí, los vulnerables viven en la
injusticia.
De no modificarse la situación, la República Democrática del Congo tiene
entre sus manos una bomba de tiempo. Se calcula que 1,1 millón de habitantes del
país viven con el VIH. Las mujeres y los niños y niñas que son violados por los
militares corren alto riesgo de contagio esa enfermedad. Y debido a que el país
carece prácticamente de un sistema de atención de la salud, el VIH y el SIDA se
propagan muy velozmente.
Para poner fin al azote de la violencia
A pesar de que la situación parece
descorazonadora, existen esperanzas. Los niños y niñas están organizando
agrupaciones juveniles en las que hablan de diversos temas de importancia, como
la violencia sexual. Al referirse de manera franca a esos temas delicados, los
niños y niñas confrontan al mundo adulto por los sufrimientos que reciben y
también se protegen de los peligros que les acechan.
Los niños y niñas debaten abiertamente temas como el VIH/SIDA y distribuyen
panfletos sobre las maneras en que pueden protegerse de las agresiones sexuales.
También tratan de conversar sobre esos temas en sus casas, con sus padres y
otros adultos. Sin embargo, algunos creen que los adultos aún no escuchan a
los más jóvenes.
El Sr. Magayane opina que la responsabilidad de poner fin al azote de la
violencia le corresponde a quienes vivieron los años de guerra. "Lo que nos
preocupa es que los adultos deberíamos estar protegiendo a la niñez. Y lo que
estamos haciendo es matar a nuestro propio
futuro".

Transversalidad del Género en el Emprendimiento Regional
Transversalidad del Género en el Emprendimiento Regional
Hoy se calcula que hay 513.000 mujeres
emprendedoras en Chile, que equivalen al 33% del total de emprendedores del
país. Hace tres años sólo había un 20% de mujeres que se atrevían o
incursionaban en iniciativas e ideas.
El Rancahuaso/Chile/Patagonia Ciber Fem
Por tal motivo, la firma de convenio entre Sercotec y Sernam que fue
firmado este martes, es un instrumento válido para el fomento productivo; el que servirá para actuar
coordinada y complementariamente con el objeto
de contribuir con el fortalecimiento de las iniciativas productivas
emprendedoras y formales, a través de acciones que permitan sensibilizar
y entregar espacios de igualdad de oportunidades para hombres y mujeres.
La Directora Regional del Sernam, Aixa
Cataldo Alcaíno, refiriéndose al paso que ambas instituciones dieron con
la firma de este compromiso mutuo, dijo que “estamos seguros que este esfuerzo de trabajar
intersectorialmente, obedece a una realidad y estrategia que el Sernam viene
trabajando hace años. Hoy sabemos que un gran porcentaje de iniciativas de
micremprendimiento presentes en la región están en manos de mujeres. Y cuando
hablamos de enfoque de género, también nos referimos a cómo y en qué condiciones
esas mujeres sacan adelante sus ideas. En esto creo que es necesario profundizar
algunos aspectos y tener en cuenta, por ejemplo, cómo conciliamos la vida
familiar y laboral, cuáles son las trabas que existen para acceder a créditos y
cómo también creamos programas diferenciados para un mejor desarrollo de sus
ideas o negocios. Esfuerzo, dijo, está en la línea y preocupación de la Agenda
de Género que impulsa la Presidenta Michelle Bachelet y que ayer corroboró en
las medidas y propuestas anunciadas para ese sector”, refiriéndose a los
anuncios hechos en el 7º Encuentro Nacional de
la Pequeña Empresa (Enape), realizado el lunes recién pasado.
En
tanto, Gabriel Alvarez Villa, Director Regional
de Sercotec, manifestó su compromiso de seguir apoyando el esfuerzo que
hace el Estado en tener una nueva mirada “con
enfoque de género”, una perspectiva que no siempre es bien entendida y
que la entidad está desarrollando cada vez con más fuerza, señalando que “esperamos con este convenio consolidar todo un
trabajo que ya veníamos realizando y darle una formalidad a fin de que el avance
en el tema de género sea efectivo y no sea tan sólo palabras o buenas
intenciones”, agregando además que con esta firma de colaboración el
Sernam participará en todas las instancias y
mesas técnicas que tiene ese servicio.
