PUERTO RICO HERALD: Work Place Dangers Are Greater For Hispanics Than For Other In addition, Hispanic women had a higher incidence of work place injurynearly twice the rate of Hispanic men, despite the fact that women overall have lower http://www.puertorico-herald.org/issues/2003/vol7n52/WorkPlaceDangers.shtml

PR Newswire Work Place Dangers Are Greater For Hispanics Than For Other Ethnic Groups Problems Compounded By Less Access To Regular Health Care September 23, 2003 LEXINGTON, Mass., Sept. 23 /PRNewswire/ On-the-job fatalities and work days lost due to injuries and illnesses among U.S. workers of Hispanic origin are more frequent than among workers from other ethnic groups. Compounding these problems, Hispanic workers are less likely to get regular medical care or have health insurance, and suffer higher prevalence of diabetes, obesity and hypertension, all complicated by a higher number of work hours and frequent second jobs, according to a newly issued report by Circadian Technologies, Inc. "The well being of Hispanic workers is an issue that should be of greater concern to policy makers and employers given the dramatic growth of the U.S. Hispanic population and the financial pressures this group brings to the health care system-impacting employers, insurance companies and Medicare," said Acacia Aguirre, M.D., Ph.D., Circadian medical director and principal author of Challenges Confronting Hispanic Extended Hours Employees and Their Employers. Aguirre, who advocates the need for more studies to evaluate interventions to reduce the alarming injury trends affecting Hispanic workers, said the higher rates of fatalities and injuries may be tied to language barriers, greater employment in industries with high accident rates such as construction, and fear of retribution over reporting safety issues to supervisors or government agencies. She noted that in some cases, companies have achieved a significant reduction in work place injuries through Spanish-language programs and other training efforts.

Project partners WWW-ICT Cette page existe aussi en Why WWW-ICT ? There is a deep gender imbalance in ICT professions (which are only about 15% female) and, simultaneously, an unsatisfied demand for ICT professionals at intermediate and high levels. Although varying in different sectors and countries, a gender imbalance and a skills shortage are common features of the ICT labour market in Europe. This is an obstacle to the development of the knowledge economy and the achievement of social cohesion. Three types of factors can explain the gender imbalance in ICT professions. Education and training . Women are under-represented among ICT students (intermediate and higher degrees), as well as in vocational training and lifelong learning initiatives. ICT courses seem to be unattractive to girls and women. This imbalance has got worse during the last years, despite a diversification of ICT curricula.

The place will have nooks and crannies for reading, space set aside for more intimate conversations, plus room for board games, coffee and larger gatherings. It's a rather exclusive spot, although hundreds if not thousands are eligible for admittance. The Women's Empowerment Center at Community Connections is, in fact, an urban retreat where abused women can unwind and be supported by one another in their recovery. "We work mostly with women who are homeless, who are substance abusers and who suffer from mental illnesses. But the common thread is an extensive history of trauma and abuse," said Helen C. Bergman, co-founder of Community Connections Inc., a regional nonprofit mental health agency based in the District. "For many of them, being involved in abusive relationships had become a way of life. At the empowerment center, we teach them how to break that cycle and begin to heal." They also learn the importance of reaching out to others.

My entire life Ive worked diligently so I could have a successful career. However, after I began reading this book, my thinking has been turned on its head. Now I can see that Ive been motivated by all the wrong things: ego, self-aggrandizement, money, and status. This book has helped me understand all that motherhood used to be and could be. It is not a banal existence; there are beautiful possibilites open to the imaginitive mind. Our country was founded on the Protestant ethic that the most noble thing one could do is to be selfless, to give everything you have to your children and your family. My words are like gravel in the mouth compared to Robertsons eloquence. I wish I could capture the beauty of his words here. Please, read this book. It changes everything.

Available from: Women Make Movies 462 Broadway, 5th Floor New York, NY 10013 (212)925-0606 Print Entry #: 5:87 Reviewer: Paula C. Murphy The technical aspects are excellent and professional. The outstanding editing combines the interviews, scenes of other black women, artistically presented street scenes, artwork, and dance performances with historical photographs and footage from the civil rights movement. Every image is important. The camerawork and lighting are sensitive to the people being interviewed and help to describe their personalities. Many of the backgrounds used behind speakers, such as photographs of famous black women from Brian Lanker's book I Dream a World, visually reinforce the subject. The most important technique, however, is the use of music by Prince, Janet Jackson, Sister Rosa, the Neville Brothers, and the Staple Singers. The music moves the visual montages along and emphasizes the spoken messages of the work in an entertaining way.

89. Congress Should Ban Bias In The Work Place The Maine GayNet Congress should ban bias in the work place against gays, lesbians. Congress fails to enact a federal law protecting homosexual men and women from discrimination http://www.maine.com/paula/pph/pph-6.14b.97.html

Saturday, June 14, 1997 Editorial Congress should ban bias in the work place against gays, lesbians All will benefit from banning job discrimination against homosexual people. I f Congress fails to enact a federal law protecting homosexual men and women from discrimination on the job this year, who loses? It certainly would be a setback for the gay men and lesbians who fear for their livelihoods at the hands of misguided employers. Losing one's job because of who you are, as opposed to how you do the job, is an injustice and sometimes a tragedy. Yet homosexual people would not be the only losers if such a bill failed to pass the Senate and House to become law under President Clinton's signature. In both practical and moral terms, all Americans have a stake in seeing that discrimination on the job against gay men and lesbians is outlawed. Last year a bill protecting the civil rights of homosexual men and women on the job failed by one vote in the U.S. Senate. The bill, which was not taken up by the House, came up along with another measure, this one successful, banning same-sex marriages. Both Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe and former Senator Bill Cohen voted to outlaw discrimination against gay men and lesbians on the job. The Maine Legislature built on their example this year when lawmakers enacted a bill that puts sexual orientation into Maine's anti-discrimination code. This week, a group of Republicans and Democrats again submitted a federal bill banning work place discrimination based on sexual orientation.

Draft : COSATU Model Policy on HIV/Aids in the Workplace - October 2002 HIV/AIDS already affects all our workplaces, and is likely to grow worse. Our concerns are: 1. Dealing with denial and discrimination against people with HIV and AIDS, from employers, other workers and communities 2. Ensuring that we are all empowered to prevent HIV, including in the workplace, and have access to free condoms 3. Getting medical treatment, adequate nutrition and wellness support, additional time off for opportunistic illnesses, and appropriate working conditions for workers with HIV 4. Making sure that workers who can no longer work because of AIDS get disability pay when they need it, and that if they die, their dependents – including their children – get adequate support from their retirement funds 5. Empowering women comrades, who often have to care for family members with HIV as well as facing sexual harassment and other kinds of discrimination, which make it harder for them to prevent and live with HIV. To deal with these issues, we need to negotiate workplace policies and programmes on HIV and AIDS. Our demands must reflect what we know about HIV:

Women in Ancient Egyptian Religion In Old-New Kingdoms, Part I By Marie Parsons Religion was an integral part of life in ancient Egypt, for women as well as for men. Women of the household maintained ancestor cults and kept shrines in their homes dedicated to deities especially caring of women, such as the goddess Taweret , and the bandy-legged dwarf Bes . Both these divinities were involved in guarding the woman and child through the pregnancy and childbirth process. Bes In addition to the domestic observances and household shrines, many women of the elite class also participated in religious life and temple service, from the Old Kingdom onwards. The husbands of these women were often among the highest officials in the land. Women also often held jobs or had careers outside the temple, and left to do their time of service in the temple. One woman who supervised a royal weaving studio wrote in a letter how she had to leave her job to serve her month of temple duty. Hundreds of non-royal women are known to have served as priests, or
