UN Day of the Girl

October 11th was the UN Day of the Girl Child. All over the world, women and girls participated in #GirlTakeover and stepped into jobs that are traditionally held by men. The theme of the #DayoftheGirl was With Her, A Skilled GirlForce, because globally girls face more adversities that prevent them from gaining education, skills, and meaningful employment. 

Here's the video we watched in class:

RESEARCH

Los alumnos llevan dos semanas yendo al aula de tecnología una vez por semana para investigar y recopilar información de los países que les han sido asignados. Están aprendiendo a diferenciar entre fuentes fiables y no fiables, a seleccionar la información que necesitan y a parafrasear y resumir esa información para no cometer plagio. 
Por último, traspasarán toda esa información a una presentación Power Point que presentarán en clase a todos sus compañeros.

Bullying: Protection for children is a ´fundamental human right´ says top UN advocate

October 8, 2018

¨ ¨Being protected from bullying is a fundamental human right,¨ said Marta Santos Pais, Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence against Children.

At an event at UN headquarters in New York, co-organized with the Governments of Mexico and Lithuania, Ms. Santos Pais presented the key findings of the Secretary-General report and welcomed the ¨growing interest¨ from the world on this matter...

...Earlier this year, for example, Member States agreed on the adoption of a new indicator...[to] measure the percentage of students who have experienced bullying in the past year, by gender, and for each contributing country.

Despite such encouraging signs, the Special Representative identified several key areas where improvement was needed for Governments and institutions.

First, she emphasized the importance of early childhood prevention and noted that the ¨parent-child relationship is a critical factor in predicting the risk of bullying in adolescence.¨ According to the report, today, 176 million children under-five, witness domestic violence on a regular basis and children who bully others are twice as likely to have been exposed to domestic violence than other children...

...Today, approximately 30% of adolescents in 39 countries in Europe and North America, admit to bullying others at school... ¨
