Human Rights Inclusion Criteria?

After reading the sorrowful and complex news from Brazil, written by Gustavo Nogueira, I admit that, although I have my own opinion about that situation, It is not a consensual though all of the people and around the world and deserve to discussions.

The case can be summarized in the following transliteration of  Gustavo Nogueira on April 2011:

Letter sent from a mother to another mother in Sao Paulo, after news on TV

MOTHER-TO-MOTHER

I saw your strong protest in front of television cameras against the transfer of your child, juvenile offender, from the FEBEM dependencies in Sao Paulo for another FEBEM dependency within the State. You've complained about the distance that now separates your son, the difficulties and costs to visit him, as well as other problems arising from that transfer. I also saw all the media coverage. I've already noticed that not only you but also other mothers sharing the same situation have the support of the Pastoral Committees, Agencies and Entities for the Defense of Human Rights, NGOs, etc ...

I am also a mother, and thus can well understand their protest. I want to resonate it. Despite the  tremendous distance that now separates myself from my son, like you I've been working hard  for some fell coins and living similar difficulties and costs to visit him. With much sacrifice, I can only do it on Sundays due to my extra job on Saturdays to help support and educate the rest of the family.Fortunately I count on my worthy husband, which plays an important role for me as a friend and spiritual advisor.- If you don't know me; I am the mother of that young man who was killed by your son in an assault on a video store, where he, my son, worked during the day to pay for his education at night. Next Sunday, when you would be hugging, kissing and caressing your son, I'll be visiting the humble tomb and putting some  flowers there, in a cemetery on the outskirts of Sao Paulo

Just one last information: even in the cemetery or in my house, no representative of these "entities" ever showed up offering some support, comfort or advice, neither mentioning me "My Rights"!

Is there some flipped value in Brazil? 

Has some of these mothers no reason to complain?If, human rights were just for trustworthy humans, who can guarantee witch one is not trustworthy? Who does not deserve the human rights?Is it possible to be happy, sleep well and have no worries or bad feelings as a mother of a murder?
I've already disclosed that I have my own opinion: Both families must be treated and supported... Always...
When support is needed, it must to be requested with strong argues, with honesty and faith. Showing our own side, own pain, own necessity, own comprehension... To achieve own rights it's not necessary to take off the others' rights!
Human Rights are for all!!!!!!!! 



    

Direitos humanos são para humanos direitos?

Carta enviada de uma mãe para outra mãe em SP, após noticiário na TV:

DE MÃE PARA MÃE:

Vi seu enérgico protesto diante das câmeras de televisão contra a transferência do seu filho, menor infrator, das dependências da FEBEM em São Paulo para outra dependência da FEBEM no interior do Estado.

Vi você se queixando da distância que agora a separa do seu filho, das dificuldades e das despesas que passou a ter para visitá-lo, bem como de outros inconvenientes decorrentes daquela transferência.

Vi também toda a cobertura que a mídia deu para o fato, assim como vi que não só você, mas igualmente outras mães na mesma situação que você, contam com o apoio de Comissões Pastorais, Órgãos e Entidades de Defesa de Direitos Humanos, ONGs, etc...

Eu também sou mãe e, assim, bem posso compreender seu protesto. Quero com ele fazer coro.Enorme é a distância que me separa do meu filho.

Trabalhando e ganhando pouco, idênticas são as dificuldades e as despesas que tenho para visitá-lo. Com muito sacrifício, só posso fazê-lo aos domingos porque labuto, inclusive aos sábados, para auxiliar no sustento e educação do resto da família...

Felizmente conto com o meu inseparável companheiro, que desempenha para mim importante papel de amigo e conselheiro espiritual.

Se você ainda não sabe, sou a mãe daquele jovem que o seu filho matou estupidamente num assalto a uma vídeo-locadora, onde ele, meu filho, trabalhava durante o dia para pagar os estudos à noite.

No próximo domingo, quando você estiver abraçando, beijando e fazendo carícias no seu filho, eu estarei visitando o meu e depositando flores no seu humilde túmulo, num cemitério da periferia de São Paulo...

Ah! Ia me esquecendo: e também ganhando pouco e sustentando a casa, pode ficar tranqüila, viu, que eu estarei pagando de novo, o colchão que seu querido filho queimou lá na última rebelião da Febem.

Nem no cemitério, nem na minha casa, NUNCA apareceu nenhum representante destas "Entidades" que tanto lhe confortam, para me dar uma palavra de conforto, e talvez me indicar "Os meus direitos"!

Se concordar, circule este manifesto!

Talvez a gente consiga acabar com esta inversão

de valores que assola o Brasil.

A UNICEF-supported music school helps young Haitians dream of a better future unicef.org

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, 25 March 2011 – In one of the classrooms at Vision Nouvelle School sits a large wooden box filled with broken instruments – violins, violas, flutes and even piano parts. It’s all that remains of the school’s once substantial collection of music instruments, a stark reminder of the destructive power of last year’s earthquake which reduced the school and its contents to rubble.

“The earthquake destroyed most of our school and left us with almost nothing, no instruments at all,” says headmistress Micheline Adolphe. “I wasn’t even sure if it was worth reopening the school. ”Most classes have now resumed in a new UNICEF-constructed school building, but conditions are still far from what they used to be.

Vision Nouvelle School in Delmas is one of only 10 schools in Haiti that offers music classes to its students and has a reputation for producing successful musicians. For decades, it has sent students to international competitions in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

UNICEF continues to provide basic supplies for students and teachers across Haiti, and is supporting the reconstruction of buildings such as Vision Nouvelle School.

Last year more than 720,000 children and 15,000 teachers were given school materials and training. Since the earthquake, UNICEF has reconstructed 110 semi-permanent schools in Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince.

UNICEF is now preparing to rebuild another 37 schools in the Haitian capital and aims to complete 200 schools across the country by the end of June.

The power of music

Fabienne Ejerard Philippe Auguste, 17, a student at Vision Nouvelle School, is thankful for UNICEF’s efforts in reconstructing schools. It allows her to continue to learn to play the violin.

“Music makes all the difference to me. I love it. It helps me focus on the beautiful side of life,” says Ms. Auguste, holding her instrument. “Since the earthquake, I am very stressed. Music helps me to express my feelings and to deal with this stress.”

Recognizing the liberating benefits of music, UNICEF recently helped build a music recording studio at a boys’ school in Port-au-Prince.

“Music can help you dream,” says Ms. Auguste. “Everybody needs a dream, especially young people. They need to know that there is more to life than their current reality.”

Football for an HIV Free Generation (F4) Namibia (2007 - 2010)

For this Johnson & Johnson-funded project, AED and Grassroot Soccer are implementing an innovative HIV prevention intervention for young people in Namibia. F4 uses the excitement of soccer and an innovative curriculum to transfer critical life skills to assist young people in protecting themselves from HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections. Street soccer clubs recruit participants ages 14-25 and create teams based on age, gender, and level of play. Teams meet three days a week for nine months out of the year to work on soccer and life skills, and to compete. Each week, one day is dedicated to HIV and life skills activities from the Skillz curriculum. Key curricular topics include making healthy decisions, avoiding risks, building support networks, reducing stigma and discrimination, increasing knowledge about testing and treatment, addressing gender issues, and assessing values.

AED’s approach has been to create programs that both communicate authentic and persuasive messages to people, encouraging them to adopt positive behaviors, and to change the conditions around people to facilitate those behaviors.
