WK 4.1 Extra The usefulness of MDG-related comics - Hanane Ben Abdeslam


Millenium Development Goal 5. Improve Maternal Health
There are eight different comics based on one of the eight Millennium Development Goals.
The comic which I found interesting is the comic book about improving Maternal Health.

More than 500,000 women die each year from complications from pregnancy and childbirth. In addition, more than 50 million women suffer from ill health and serious pregnancy-related illness and disability. The reason for this is because these women usually undergo their own pregnancy and childbirth without any help from medical professionals, such as doctors and nurses. The comic book shows that the presence of an obstetrician can mean the difference between life and death. The example of “Chakori” was used, she is a woman who knows a lot about childbirth in the book. How the combination with the MDG came about is because the MDG No. 5 of the United Nations aims to reduce the number of women dying from pregnancy and childbirth. They want to achieve this through reproductive rights, such as education and access to family extension techniques, increasing the availability of medical professionals and finally access to medicines and vaccinations.

In the comic there were different ways on how to make a difference in your community, like fundraising, building a birthing hut and giving a program to woman. How do you think you could help if you were in a situation where you know someone that has a lot of risks by delivering her baby?

MDGs have promoted the development of the international community. Poverty, hunger eradication, universal education level, gender equality, disease, environment and development of developing countries were targeted. However, it has been criticized for lack of legitimacy, neglect of female inequality in employment, and uneven achievement rate, but it has contributed a lot to many equal development. Interesting point I knew that international politics was carried out in a complex and selfish atmosphere. However, upon encountering the MDGs, I learned that the international community is making great efforts to ensure human rights. Among the MDG criticisms, criticism of women's inequality was interesting. The phenomenon of female ineq...

What is meant by that? / Lee hayoung

Q. Society is not determined by technology, nor is technology determined by society. Both emerge as two sides of the sociotechnical coin. What is meant by that? A. So to begin with, I think that society and technology are the relationships that influence each other, the concepts that one cannot include or dominate. There is technology in society, and technology exists because there is society. I think it's an inseparable relationship, so I think it can be expressed in both sides of a coin.

W10. Human_rights / Lee Se Hyun

Summary Human rights are the basic right to live as a person. This is an absolute domain. Applicable regardless of ethnicity, gender, age, or location and guaranteed by international law. Human rights have been modified and established over a long period of time. From ancient times to the post-World War II international human rights treaties, various changes and considerations continued.
