Violence Against Women in Urban Areas |
|
Although women’s contribution in today’s societies is essential and indisputable, nowhere is their status on a par with men’s. Women are a vulnerable group in all areas. With respect to violence, the evidence is revealing and irrevocable: not only are women particularly affected by many forms of violence, but most often these happen inside what should be the most secure of environments; their own homes. As the United Nations Development Programme’s annual Human Development Report (1995) commented: “In no society are women secure or treated as equal to men. Personal insecurity shadows them from cradle to grave… From childhood through adulthood, they are abused because of their gender”.

Streetchildren and Gangs in African Cities, Guidelines for Local Authorities |
|
The problem of street children is well documented in Latin America and South-East Asia. However, in Africa it is a comparative by new phenomenon. Sub-Saharan Africa is currently the least urbanized region of the developing world, with about 30 percent of the population living in cities. Catching up fast, Africa is currently experiencing the highest urban growth rates. Local authorities in Africa are increasingly confronted with a rising number of street children and all too often do not quite know how to deal with this growing problem.

Report of the International Conference for Crime Prevention Partnership to build Community Safety |
|
The inspiration for the Johannesburg conference came in 1996 during the Vancouver conference on crime prevention for practitioners. It was realised that South Africa had an important role to play in the international crime prevention debate, both as an example of successful initiatives, and as a learning opportunity for South Africans to become better informed about developments in crime prevention internationally.
