Global Action Needed to Ensure Education for More Than 120 Million Girls

  UN Deputy Secretary-General Acknowledges Malala's Impact

Nobel laureate and UN Messenger of Peace Malala Yousafzai, on her 26th birthday, delivered a powerful address in Abuja, Nigeria, emphasizing the urgent need for increased efforts to provide education to more than 120 million girls worldwide.  

A Landmark Anniversary Speech

Malala's Journey from Activism to Advocacy Exactly a decade after her groundbreaking 'Malala Day' speech at the UN Headquarters in New York, where she called for global action against illiteracy, poverty, and terrorism, the Pakistani education advocate, who survived a Taliban attack, shared her unwavering commitment to advocating for girls' education.  

UN Deputy Secretary-General Praises Malala's Impact

A Global Vision for Tolerance and Equality Introducing Malala Yousafzai, UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed acknowledged her ability to transcend borders, cultures, and generations, while highlighting the universal resonance of her message and passion. Mohammed emphasized that both the UN and Malala understand that quality education for both girls and boys is not merely a dream but a fundamental human right.

Malala's Call for Action

Empowering Girls Through Education Over the years since her UN speech, Malala has completed her high school and university education, traveled extensively to over 30 countries, and established the Malala Fund, which aims to remove barriers to girls' education. She spoke passionately about her efforts to draw attention to the plight of the nearly 120 million girls denied education due to factors such as poverty, patriarchy, climate, and conflict. Her commitment was further demonstrated through visits to various countries, where she met with local girls, including refugees, indigenous communities, and activists.  

Celebrating Victories, Acknowledging Challenges

The Journey Towards Gender Equality While celebrating the achievements of girls who have overcome obstacles to earn university degrees and enter the workforce, Malala emphasized that progress remains insufficient. She called for continued efforts to address the challenges faced by millions of girls worldwide, acknowledging that governments, communities, and families still hold many young women back from achieving their full potential.  

The Struggle for Change

A Global Crisis for Girls' Education Malala highlighted the global initiatives aimed at enhancing education and gender equality to meet the Sustainable Development Goal of quality education for all by 2030. However, she also stressed that these accomplishments cannot overshadow the stark reality faced by hundreds of millions of girls, exacerbated by the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. She specifically pointed out the situation in Afghanistan, where women and girls are now banned from pursuing an education, highlighting the alarming reversal of progress.  

Building a Collective Future

The Power of Education and Gender Equality Reflecting on her famous UN speech, Malala acknowledged the limitations of individual efforts in changing the world but emphasized that change can begin with one person. She called for collaborative action to ensure all children have access to 12 years of quality education, holding leaders accountable for their commitments to gender equality and education. Malala also stressed the need to address deep-rooted patriarchal norms that hinder girls' progress, stating that breaking free from cultural and religious misogyny would address many challenges faced by girls.  

Hope for the Future

Empowering Girls to Lead the Way Malala expressed her belief in the potential of young girls as future leaders. She highlighted their understanding of the transformative power of education and their commitment to opening the school gates for every child. She urged the global community to support their determination, provide the necessary funding, and follow their lead, assuring progress in the next decade.  

A Visit Focused on Education

Deputy Secretary-General's Trip to Borno State As part of the visit, UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed accompanied Malala and her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, on a trip to Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State. They visited three schools dedicated to providing quality education to girls affected by violence, underscoring the significance of their commitment to empowering girls through education.  

Next Steps for the UN

Following her visit to Nigeria, Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed will travel to Brussels to participate in UN-European Union meetings alongside the Secretary-General, continuing discussions on key global issues.   Sources: THX News & United Nations. Read the full article

React render() is being called before componentDidMount()

In my componentDidMount() I am making an API call to fetch some data, this call then sets a state object that I use in my render.

componentDidMount() { const { actions } = this.props; this.increase = this.increase.bind(this); // api call from the saga actions.surveyAnswersRequest(); // set breadcrumb actions.setBreadcrumb([{ title: 'Score' }]); actions.setTitle('Score'); this.increase(); }

In my render function I pass some prop values onto the view file:

render() { const { global, gallery, survey_answers, survey, survey_actual_answers } = this.props; if (global.isFetching) { return <Loading />; } return this.view({ gallery, survey_answers, survey, survey_actual_answers }); }

The problem I am having is that the survey_actual_answers prop is not being set the first time that the page is loaded, however when I refresh the page the prop returns the data fine and the rest of the script will run. It's only the first time that it returns an empty array for that prop value.

This is how I have passed my props in:

Score.propTypes = { actions: PropTypes.object.isRequired, global: PropTypes.object.isRequired, survey: PropTypes.object.isRequired, survey_answers: PropTypes.object.isRequired, gallery: PropTypes.object.isRequired, survey_actual_answers: PropTypes.array.isRequired, survey_score_system: PropTypes.array.isRequired, survey_styles: PropTypes.object.isRequired, survey_general_doc_data: PropTypes.object.isRequired};function mapStateToProps(state, ownProps) { return { ...ownProps, global: state.global, gallery: state.gallery, survey: state.survey, survey_actual_answers: state.survey.survey_actual_answers, survey_answers: state.survey.survey_answers, survey_score_system: state.survey.survey_score_system, survey_styles: state.survey.survey_styles, survey_general_doc_data: state.survey.survey_general_doc_data, isFetching: state.isFetching };}function mapDispatchToProps(dispatch) { return { actions: bindActionCreators({ ...globalActions, ...galleryActions, ...surveyActions }, dispatch) };}

Does anyone know why this is happening? It's almost as if it's not calling componentDidMount at all.

It's so much harder to be sustainable when you don't know where your next meal is coming from, so to me these two goals are completely interdependent. Those in poverty are also the first who will be severely affected by the effect of climate change, as they have no safety net and less means to change their situation. That's not to say the other goals aren't! All of them are vital to making a better world. 😊 #scouts #scoutforum #scouts4SDGs #nopoverty #climateaction #SDGs #un #globalaction #maketheworldabetterplace #skillsforlife #takeaction (at Azerbaijan)

A 10 Años de la Declaración de #NacionesUnidas por los derechos de los Pueblos Originarios, he aquí un pequeño homenaje a miles de luchadores también artesanos del espíritu luchador: "#FERIANTE" Entonces recorro las sendas, entre maravillosos perfumes y colores de feria. Paso por los vidrios, por el papel y los metales. Paso por las huellas de la imprenta, por las alhajas. Paso por la pintura, por el aerosol y la barnizada... Camino, como si nada, disfrutando tantas novedades, y allí, en medio del cuento te encuentro. Tu mirada opaca, casi baja, y tu historia golpeada, me duele el mimbre, el barro, la caña, me acaricia la lana, los tejidos, esas tramas... Me duele el árbol, la madera tallada, quemada, me acarician los símbolos, la anécdota callada. Me duele la arcilla, las formas cocinadas, me acaricia la esperanza, de saberte fuerte, de saber que eres mi hermano, y te sonrió, y quiero abrazarte, decirte que haré algo, que contaré de ti, que lo haré eterno, que poetizaré y lo compartiremos. En las pupilas de los hombres, estallará el misterio, y el que quiera verlo, con ojos del alma, también podrá hacerlo." (poema "Feriante" incluido en mi obra "#Bauticismo Es el momento de renacer...", pág. 284, editorial @editorialdunken, Bs. As. 2016.

Gratidão

O foco determina seu estado emocional. Quando você é grato, você está com o foco certo. A ingratidão tem um cheiro e a gratidão também. Você é quem vai determinar qual dos dois você vai incorporar na sua vida, mas saiba, o primeiro passo para se achegar à presença do Senhor é a Gratidão.

Na passagem Lucas 17:11-19, vemos um cenário muito triste, 10 leprosos, que eram marginalizados pela sociedade. Eles precisavam de um milagre. Sempre que você pedir um milagre, Deus vai te dar uma instrução, assim foi com os leprosos que pediram um milagre a Jesus, Ele disse: vão e se mostrem ao sacerdote. Eles obedeceram a instrução de Jesus, e no caminho a cura começou a se manifestar. Quando obedecemos a instrução, o milagre acontece.

A instrução que Deus te dá para o milagre nunca é lógica, mas é o acesso para o sobrenatural. Se você não der o primeiro passo, nada vai acontecer. Dos 10 leprosos, apenas 1 voltou para agradecer - o único que voltou não foi apenas curado, Jesus disse: tua fé te salvou! Salvou neste contexto significa plenitude total e também salvação, ele também foi restaurado.

Deus espera que tenhamos um coração grato. Ele não prometeu algo para você ficar com a esperança abalada, mas para que a promessa seja completa. Enquanto seu foco estiver na ingratidão você viverá aguardando que as coisas aconteçam na sua vida.

O Senhor quer levantar pessoas gratas porque Ele quer aperfeiçoar a obra que iniciou na sua vida. Ele quer completar aquilo que já começou.

Manifeste gratidão!
