Urgent Appeal: Charsadda and Peshawar Relief Operation for
Internally Displaced Person (IDPs)
North Western Frontier Province (NWFP) - Pakistan by Insan
Foundation Trust, Lahore
Pakistan
military started massive operation against Taliban militants on
May 7, 2009. The operation is being undertaken in Swat, Lower
and Upper Dir, Bunner, Malakund and other adjacent areas
where Taliban had taken over in contravention with the
agreement with the government of NWFP, to lay their arms down,
accept the writ of the State and immediately stop heinous
human-rights violations.
The operation
has triggered the biggest displacement in the history of
Pakistan. In this operation, heavy weapons are being used from
both sides. The casualties are very high, of citizens mostly who
are left behind and are hostage of Taliban. More than 1000 were
reported as killed on May 12, 2009. Media and NGOs are not
allowed to move in due to the volatile situation. According to
the NWFP government and the independent sources, including UNHCR, between 1 and 1.3 million people have already
moved from their homes and settled at Swabi, Charsadda,
Peshawar, Mardan, etc. Mardan, Sawabi and Jalala, Talash and
some parts of Timergra are so far safer places to live. The
numbers of IDPs however are swelling day by day. Most of the
people fled from the affected areas via Ambela-Sawabai Road,
Dagar-Mardan Road, Jowar-Daragi Road (via Bazdara and Girarai).
According to the local sources, 60% population of the affected
areas has left villages. The remaining population is facing
shortage of food, water and health facilities.

Dynamic Cities Need Women: Visions and Challenges for a Women
Friendly City
21-24 October 2009 | Seoul
Metropolis-Women
International Network, representing the World Association of
Major Metropolises with the network of 104 member cities over
the world, will continue to promote its initiative, 'Dynamic
Cities Need Women' following the first forum in Brussels. With
the policy experience in reframing the entire city
administration through the 'Women-friendly City' project since
2007, Seoul Metropolitan Government will be the host of the
forum.
Metropolitan
cities are facing common socioeconomic challenges in the wave of
globalization and economic restructuring. Cities are struggling
with the solutions for sustainable economy, environment, and
welfare system. 'Women-friendly city' is a symbolic theme of the
forum, representing the idea of viewing the urban issues and
policies through women's eyes. The forum will gather
representatives from central and local governments, NGO
activists, and scholars to share the visions for a
women-friendly city, which will ultimately lead to the
discussion on the new vision of the sustainable cities for all.
The forum sessions will cover the following 4 agenda in detail
with 8 sub-workshops:
-
Mainstreaming
Gender in City Polices
-
Empowering Women
in Economic Crisis
-
Building a Safe
City for Women
-
Fostering
Diversity and Women's Creativity
Creative and
diverse energy is essential to dynamic city building. Women's
creative and collective powers will be celebrated in the Forum.
The forum
organizer encourages all the member cities/organizations to bare
the financial burden of its representatives’ participation. All
the speakers will be provided of full accommodation and the
registration fee waiver. They also prepare ‘Support Fund for
Developing Cities’ for the participants who are in need of full
financial support due to the war or disaster or economic
collapse. The detail of this fund application is available in
the Forum website at
www.womenfriendlycity.or.kr.
For more information, please contact Ms. Jiwoon Lee, at
speakers@seoulwomen.or.kr
(telephone: +82-2-810-5063, fax: +82-2-810-5001).
With the support of Mr. Se-Hoon
Oh, Mayor of Seoul Metropolitan Government and of Mr. Jean-Paul
Huchon, President of Metropolis - the World Association of Major
Metropolises.
