Abstract: 
This report, By Human Rights Watch, briefly examines policy initiatives and the proposals for reform that have been made by the new government in its review of health services. The reform proposals aim to rectify some of the most glaring problems with the current medico-legal system, including problems of access, but they also risk placing too heavy an emphasis on accessibility at the expense of providing a high-quality service in this very technical area. Within the constraints placed by the many demands on the government's budget for reconstruction and development, the aim must be to raise the standards of the services currently offered, as well as to extend that service to all parts of the population.

Abstract: 

Statistics around the way women are portrayed in the media reflect a dismal story.  In 1995 women made up 17% of news subjects, five years later the Global Media Monitoring Project 200, which involved teams collecting data across the world, revealed that this figure increased to only 18%.  This was despite considerable intervention, including the adoption of the Beijing Platform of Action.
