Climate Equality: A Planet for the 99% Year of publication: 2023 Author: Ashfaq Khalfan | Astrid Nilsson Lewis | Carlos Aguilar | Max Lawson | Safa Jayoussi | Jacqueline Persson | Nafkote Dabi | Sunil Acharya Corporate author: Oxfam International The world faces twin crises of climate breakdown and runaway inequality. The richest people, corporations and countries are destroying the world with their huge carbon emissions. Meanwhile, people living in poverty, those experiencing marginalization, and countries in the Global South are those impacted the hardest. Women and girls, Indigenous Peoples, people living in poverty and other groups experiencing discrimination are particularly at a disadvantage. The consequences of climate breakdown are felt in all parts of the world and by most people, yet only the richest people and countries have the wealth, power and influence to protect themselves. With that power comes huge responsibility.If no action is taken, the richest will continue to burn through the carbon we have left to use while keeping the global temperature below the safe limit of 1.5°C, destroying any chance of ending poverty and ensuring equality. The world needs an equal transformation. Only a radical reduction in inequality, transformative climate action and fundamentally shifting our economic goals as a society can save our planet while ensuring wellbeing for all.

Igualdad cl imática : UN PLANETA PARA EL 99 %; Resumen ejecutivo Year of publication: 2023 Author: Ashfaq Khalfan | Astrid Nilsson Lewis | Carlos Aguilar | Max Lawson | Safa Jayoussi | Jacqueline Persson | Nafkote Dabi | Sunil Acharya Corporate author: Oxfam International NOS ENFRENTAMOS a una CRECIENTE crisis climática y de desigualdad. Las personas, las grandes empresas y los países más ricos están destruyendo el planeta con sus elevadas emisiones de carbono. Mientras tanto, las personas que se encuentran en situación de pobreza, relegadas a la exclusión, y los países del Sur Global son quienes sufren los peores efectos. Las mujeres, las niñas, los pueblos indígenas, las personas que viven en situación de pobreza, y los grupos discriminados son los más vulnerables. Las consecuencias de la crisis climática se hacen visibles en todo el planeta y afectan a la mayoría de la población. Sin embargo, solo aquellas personas y países con acceso a la riqueza, el poder y la influencia están a salvo. Un gran poder conlleva una gran responsabilidad. Necesitamos medidas. De lo contrario, los más ricos seguirán consumiendo de manera masiva el carbono que nos está permitido utilizar dentro del límite de emisiones considerado seguro (para limitar el calentamiento a 1,5 °C), lo que elimina sistemáticamente cualquier posibilidad de acabar con la pobreza y garantizar la igualdad. El mundo pide a gritos una transformación equitativa: exigimos una reducción drástica de la desigualdad, una acción climática transformadora y un cambio fundamental en nuestros objetivos económicos conjuntos para salvar el planeta y garantizar el bienestar para todas las personas. Climate Equality: 기후 평등: 99%를 위한 지구; 요약본 Year of publication: 2023 Author: Ashfaq Khalfan | Astrid Nilsson Lewis | Carlos Aguilar | Max Lawson | Safa Jayoussi | Jacqueline Persson | Nafkote Dabi | Sunil Acharya Corporate author: Oxfam International 세계는 기후 붕괴와 불평등이라는 두 개의 위기를 직면하고 있다최상위 부유층과 기업, 부유국은 막대한 양의 탄소를 배출하며 세계를 파괴하는 주범이 되고 있다. 그러나 가장 크게 타격을 받는 이들은 빈곤층, 소외계층, 그리고 남반구 국가이다. 특히 여성과 소녀, 선주민, 빈곤과 차별을 겪는 이들이 겪는 피해 규모는 훨씬 더 크다. 전 세계 대부분이 기후 붕괴의 결과를 체감하고 있으나, 최상위 부유층과 부유국만이 스스로를 보호하기 위한 부와 권력, 그리고 영향력을 보유하고 있다. 그러한 힘에는 막대한 책임감이 따라야 한다. 아무런 조치도 취하지 않는다면 1.5°C 이하라는 안전한 지구 온난화 한도를 유지하면서 배출가능한 남은 탄소량을 부유층이 전부 소진하고, 빈곤 퇴치와 평등 확보를 위한 길은 끊어질 것이다. 지금 세계는 평등한 변혁을 필요로 한다. 불평등 대폭 축소, 기후 관련 대대적 조치, 그리고 공동의 사회로서 경제적 목표를 근본적으로 탈바꿈 할 수 있는 행동만이 모두를 위한 복지를 보장하면서도 지구를 구할 수 있는 유일한 방법이다. 
A Gender-Responsive Communication Guide; Rethinking Communication Year of publication: 2021 Author: Gökçe Bayrakçeken Tüzel | İdil Safiye Soyseçkin Ceylan | Deniz Şilliler Tapan | Kıvanç Özvardar Corporate author: United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Language is a mechanism, a tool, that influences thoughts, shapes gender roles and therefore carries a great potential for establishing gender equality in societies. It shows how we perceive life and also determines it. Language plays an important role in the formation of our thoughts and behaviors, hence the construction of our reality about gender. As UNDP Turkey, we ground on gender equality and women’s empowerment principles in all of our programs and interventions, within the institution and in all forms of communication with our partners. The reason we prepared this guide is to determine the ways to have a gender responsive approach when communicating both in the office and with the institutions, organizations, and individuals we work with.The language we use begins to take shape from the moment we are born. It is kneaded within the norms, thoughts, and actions of the society we live in and becomes a set of rules that we unconsciously internalize. Therefore, we often use a sexist language even without realizing and thus reproduce it at every turn.Based on the idea that transformation begins with awareness, this guide offers a stimulating path to the limits of our language, demonstrates how it reproduces gender inequality, and offers ways for changing this.We believe that gender responsive communication is a sign of commitment to gender equality for any country, community or institution. Therefore, we invite you to become the transformation itself by following this sign.We would like to thank you in advance for your interest and dedication to using a gender responsive language and hope that this guide will help us on the way to become a gender-equal society. 
Human Rights and Conflict Resolution: Palestinian Universities as a Case Study (Conceptual Paper) Year of publication: 2023 Author: Rashad Twam Corporate author: Palestinian Jurists Association Palestinian universities have consistently witnessed occasional conflicts, many of which have resulted in disrupting the educational process. While some of these conflicts originated outside the university walls, as an extension of societal violence, others stemmed from within the university itself, posing a threat to civil peace. This conceptual paper addresses this issue by examining the various forms of these conflicts over the past five years (2018-2022) and the stakeholders involved in resolving them. It adopts a differentiated approach between the perspectives and methodologies of human rights advocates and conflict resolution practitioners, with a focus on the case study of Birzeit University. حقوق الإنسان وحل النزاعات من منظور عملي: الجامعات الفلسطينية نموذجا (ورقة مفاهيمية) Year of publication: 2023 Author: Rashad Twam Corporate author: Palestinian Jurists Association ما انفكت الجامعات الفلسطينية تشهد بين الحين والآخر، حالات نزاع، كثيرا منها ما تسببت بتعطيل العملية التعليمية. وفيما بعض تلك النزاعات نفذت من خارج أسوار الجامعة، كامتداد لحالات عنف مجتمعية، فبعضها الآخر بالعكس، مصدرها داخل الجامعة، وكادت أن تمتد إلى خارج حرمها، مهددة السلم الأهلي. تعرض هذه الورقة المفاهيمية لهذا الإشكال، فتتناول أشكال تلك النزاعات خلال السنوات الخمسة الماضية (2018-2022)، والمتدخلين في حل هذا النزاعات، ضمن مقاربة التمييز بين منطلقات وأساليب عمل كل من فئة المدافعين عن حقوق الإنسان وفئة ممارسي حل النزاعات، وذلك بالتركيز على تجربة جامعة بيرزيت كحالة دراسية. 
Interwoven Lives, Threads of Hope: Ending Inequalities in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Right; State of World Population 2024 Year of publication: 2024 Author: Daniel Baker | Ann Garbett | Gretchen Luchsinger | Tlaleng Mofokeng | Letlhogonolo Mokgoroane | Gilda Sedgh | Claire Thomas Corporate author: United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Everywhere, people seeking essential sexual and reproductive health care are forced to navigate overlapping hurdles because of their gender, economic status, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability and more. In the few places where data are collected, women of African descent are found to be more vulnerable to obstetric mistreatment and negative maternal health outcomes. Indigenous women are often denied culturally appropriate maternal health care, and their own childbirth practices may be criminalized, resulting in significantly higher risk of death in pregnancy and childbirth. Gender-unequal norms remain embedded in health-care infrastructure, including persistent underinvestment in the world’s largely female midwifery workforce. Women and girls with disabilities face up to 10 times more gender-based violence while also facing higher barriers to sexual and reproductive information and care. LGBTQIA+ people face serious health disparities in addition to – and as a result of – discrimination and stigma. The path forward to fulfill the Cairo International Conference on Population and Development promise of universal sexual and reproductive health and rights is clear: To achieve it we must root out inequalities from our health systems and policies and focus as a priority on those women and young people who are most marginalized and excluded. We need comprehensive, universal and inclusive health care grounded in human rights and evidence of what works. This work is vitally important, it is just, and it is possible. This report contains many examples of programmes and efforts that have expanded access to, and uptake of, quality care, usually with interventions tailored by and for those most in need. To accelerate success, we will require more and better data, disaggregated to understand exactly who is being left behind, and collected with their input and safety assured.
