Mitigating Manipur’s Conflict, 59 Years of Armed Forces (Special
Powers) Act 1958 & Its Impact on the Lives of Women and Children in
Manipur

Manipur, 23 April 2016 – The twentieth century has witnessed 250
conflicts and over 100 million casualties. Civilians remain the main
targets of contemporary conflicts and account for over 90 per cent of
casualties. Over 23 million people have died in more than 160 wars and,
after 1945, overwhelmingly in the Third World. These wars have resulted
in millions of people being displaced from their homes, and the numbers
are rising each year. Women and children are victims of war and conflict
in a variety of other ways as well. The loss of family members, which
includes husbands, brothers and children, has long-term psychological
effects of women. The suffering endured by women as caretakers and those
who pick up the pieces after conflict and devastation results in
emotional and mental stress.

North-east region has been witness to an ongoing low-intensity conflict
for a long period of time. While the entire region continues to suffer,
women living in such conditions are most vulnerable due to the
restrictions on their mobility, the limited access to health services
and most importantly, the lack of opportunities for education,
employment and even leisure. Women have been, in internal war, the
targets of sustained and frequently brutal violence committed by both
parties of armed conflict. Both the sides often use violence to punish
or dominate women believed to be sympathetic to the opposite side.

Women have been threatened, raped and murdered during the conflict.
(Human Rights Watch 1998).Armed conflicts greatly affect the lives of
women and can completely change their role in the family, the community
and the ‘public’ domain. Armed conflicts have created large numbers of
female-headed households where the men have been conscripted, detained,
displaced, have disappeared or are dead. Women invariably have to bear
greater responsibility for their children and their elderly relatives,
and often the wider community when the men in the family have gone.

AFSPA was introduced in 1958 in Nagaland to fight the Naga secessionist
movement and was later applied in Manipur and Jammu and Kashmir, and
some other parts of the Northeast. The AFSPA gives wide discretionary
powers even to junior army officers to use force as a method of warning,
to search any shelter that could be a hideout and to conduct searches
without warrants. Despite appeals to the courts, this particular Act
continues to be operational. In 1972 the AFPSA was extended to all
states and Union Territories. All the laws mentioned have been in force
in various parts of the North East at all times since independence and
they allow the state to suspend civilian rule for an indefinite period
without review.

Due to protection under Section 6 of the Act, some security force
personnel even violated the human rights of people and left the victims
without any effective remedy. The failure to identify those responsible
for human rights violations and to bring them to justice has meant that
some members of the security force continue to believe that they are
above law and can violate human rights with impunity.

To discuss this situation Control Arms Foundation of India along with
Manipur Women Gun Survivors Network and Northeast India Women Initiative
for Peace is convening a conference under the title “Mitigating
Manipur’s Conflict, 59 Years of Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act 1958
& Its Impact on the Lives of Women and Children in Manipur” on 24th
April 2016 at Siroy Conference Hall, Imphal Hotel, Manipur. Women
leaders and civil society from all across Manipur including families who
survived AFSPA will be present. The event will bring academicians,
experts, to discuss this important issue and to seek solutions.

The event will also bestow “Brave Girl of Manipur” tittle to 6 year old
Ms Lansinlu Gonmei, daughter of (L) Tiken from Tamenglong district,
Manipur who died in 6 year old case on 28 February 2016. Manipur has
lost 20,000 people due to the conflict and over 20,000 women have been
registered as widows.

We look forward to your support in covering the event and giving to this critical topic the media attention it deserves.

When: 24 April 2016 (9.30 am to 4 pm)
Where: Venue: Siroy Conference Hall, Imphal Hotel, Manipur

    I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything.
    Do you have any suggestions for rookie blog writers?
    I’d definitely appreciate it.

    Scotland is actually most certainly a truly beautiful country, as well as yearly it is actually explored through groups of travelers from the United States, France, and also even Italy or Spain. I may certainly not resist the opinion that Poles come below mostly for job. Rarely anybody departing in July, August or even September are going to think of Scotland. Because of the costs that are definitely hostile for some vacationers, perhaps it is. Meanwhile, the property of Nessi and also guys in kilts is absolutely worth a long or even short experience. Maybe it is actually great to deal with it now, when the value of the pound is actually falling, and also thus we will spend less for a holiday season in Scotland? Glen Affric in early spring Why is it worth it? Scotland is predominantly a splendid landscape in the north of the country. In Scotland, I have actually presently been able to see seals, dolphins or also deer. Scotland is also a historically exciting land (who watched Brave Heart?), Where you can easily check out splendid rock palaces (Edinburgh, Stirling, Linlithgow, Eilean Donan). The funding itself, the stunning Edinburgh, also deserves attention, especially in the course of the summertime events. nation Scotland, scottish Scotland, application Scotland, tory Scotland, information Scotland, scotland Scotland, us Scotland, edinburgh Scotland, little one Scotland, cult Scotland, map Scotland, iona Scotland, food selection Scotland, travel Scotland, data Scotland, past history Scotland, automobile Scotland, ship Scotland, uk Scotland, train Scotland, celtic Scotland, glasgow Scotland, shetland Scotland, society Scotland, tay Scotland, bus Scotland, updates Scotland, learning Scotland, bit Scotland, navigation Scotland, cookie Scotland, covid Scotland, sporting activity Scotland, ease of access Scotland, video clips Scotland, highland video games Scotland, community Scotland, golf Scotland, scots Scotland, food Scotland, whisky Scotland, budget Scotland, visitscotland Scotland, museum Scotland, email list Scotland, arbroath Scotland, heck Scotland, street Scotland, distilleries Scotland, street andrews Scotland, alcoholic beverage Scotland, visit scotland Scotland, europe Scotland, castles Scotland, potential Scotland, take in Scotland, blog Scotland, dundee Scotland, steering Scotland, sports Scotland, covid-Scotland9 Scotland, transport Scotland. Edinburgh – Some suggestions for exploring Scotland Trip in Scotland should most definitely start along with its financing. Edinburgh is actually a beautiful middle ages a community with characteristic stone structures. From the primary street, the alleged The Royal Mile attaching the previous royal castle with the Queen’s summer palace (Palace of Holyroodhouse) escapes a network of fascinating little streets (the supposed close), creating a puzzle through which it is actually actually worth getting lost. It takes approximately pair of days to check out Edinburgh, however you can expand this opportunity up to four. In the scenario of a quick visit to Scotland, you can also limit on your own to Edinburgh only, devoting someday on a big salami through bus in the Scottish highlands (virtually every holiday company in the funding delivers it). Thus, a minimum of for a moment our company will really feel the ambience of a true property of mists. An also much better concept is actually to rent out a cars and truck for one day and also go on an individual travel (the system as well as attributes of the managed tours do not essentially satisfy everyone). Such a self-guided scenic tour will probably take us at least 10 hours. For a slightly longer experience (albeit still limited to merely a handful of times) coming from Edinburgh, I would propose to hit in two paths: Isle of Arran or Loch Lomond. Arran is called Scotland in baby. Investing two or 3 days on the isle, we can take pleasure in the beauty of the west coast, rest on the seashore, go up the greatest top of the island– Goat Fell, as properly as marvel at the verdant mountains and also delight in the area. Loch Lomond is just one of Scotland’s two national playgrounds, an attractive pond bordered through rainforests and hills. En route, you can easily likewise see Stirling Castle. There is actually a straight train from Glasgow in both paths. nation Scotland, scottish Scotland, app Scotland, conservative Scotland, information Scotland, scotland Scotland, our company Scotland, edinburgh Scotland, kid Scotland, creed Scotland, chart Scotland, iona Scotland, food selection Scotland, travel Scotland, information Scotland, background Scotland, car Scotland, ship Scotland, uk Scotland, learn Scotland, celtic Scotland, glasgow Scotland, shetland Scotland, lifestyle Scotland, tay Scotland, bus Scotland, information Scotland, education Scotland, little bit Scotland, navigation Scotland, cookie Scotland, covid Scotland, sporting activity Scotland, availability Scotland, video recordings Scotland, highland video games Scotland, neighborhood Scotland, golf Scotland, scots Scotland, food Scotland, whisky Scotland, budget plan Scotland, visitscotland Scotland, museum Scotland, bulletin Scotland, arbroath Scotland, hell Scotland, roadway Scotland, distilleries Scotland, street andrews Scotland, beverage Scotland, check out scotland Scotland, europe Scotland, castles Scotland, potential Scotland, take in Scotland, blog Scotland, dundee Scotland, steering Scotland, sporting activities Scotland, covid-Scotland9 Scotland, transport Scotland. Reduced Budget Travel? Scotland, like the entire of Great Britain, is none of the most inexpensive locations. Having said that, you can easily locate a lot of hiking routes and campsites listed below. Moreover, in Scotland the tent can easily be actually put together literally anywhere, so travelers may also sleep in the untamed. What is very important in this case is actually common access to well-maintained water– our experts can discover mountain streams, waterfalls and also rivers just about anywhere. The best famous and also one of one of the most gorgeous hiking tracks in Europe is actually the alleged West Highland Way. Because of the fantastic scenery, I enthusiastically suggest Longer trip? How approximately north along the west coastline and after that back to the quieter, albeit a lot less spectacular east? A lot of travelers in Glasgow, takes a learn to Mallaig (occasionally visiting Glencoe or Fort William heading) after that gos to Isle of Skye (the very most gorgeous of the Scottish isles), at that point head along the shore in the direction of Ullapool, regarding Durness, en route back going to Inverness, Fort Augustus (Loch Ness), Aberdeen as well as Cairngorms National Park, as well as ultimately St Andrews. Is it possible by learns as well as buses? Certainly it is actually achievable, however you will definitely overlook a great deal, so it is far better to lease an automobile for at the very least aspect of the travel. And don’t be deceived through the visitor trap of Loch Ness– in fact, there are lots of a lot more beautiful spots across Scotland country Scotland, scottish Scotland, application Scotland, tory Scotland, details Scotland, scotland Scotland, our team Scotland, edinburgh Scotland, little one Scotland, cult Scotland, map Scotland, iona Scotland, menu Scotland, travel Scotland, information Scotland, background Scotland, automobile Scotland, ship Scotland, uk Scotland, learn Scotland, celtic Scotland, glasgow Scotland, shetland Scotland, society Scotland, tay Scotland, bus Scotland, news Scotland, learning Scotland, little Scotland, navigation Scotland, cookie Scotland, covid Scotland, sport Scotland, accessibility Scotland, online videos Scotland, highland video games Scotland, area Scotland, golf Scotland, scots Scotland, meals Scotland, whisky Scotland, finances Scotland, visitscotland Scotland, gallery Scotland, email list Scotland, arbroath Scotland, heck Scotland, roadway Scotland, distilleries Scotland, st andrews Scotland, cocktail Scotland, visit scotland Scotland, europe Scotland, castles Scotland, potential Scotland, take in Scotland, blog post Scotland, dundee Scotland, steering Scotland, sports Scotland, transportation Scotland Glenelg I don’t forget visiting Scotland for the very first time at the conclusion of April. It was presently springtime in Scotland, the sun was warming up, while in Scotland it was still winter season all over. The Highlands were actually still dealt with in snow in a lot of locations, and in Edinburgh it was actually piercingly storm. When traveling in Scotland, firstly great, water-proof, sports shoes. A respectable waterproof (as well as windproof!) Will certainly additionally come in helpful, often it is actually additionally worth adding a thin scarf, a sports hat and sports handwear covers to the knapsack (springtime as well as autumn). In wintertime, I advise steering clear of Scotland from a span. Why? The response is basic: it pours as well as impacts. In the case of a low-budget excursion, sleep in an outdoor tents or even keep merely in hostels (expense concerning PLN 80 per night)., Whiskey, see at least one distillery and command fish as well as chips along with vinegar at least as soon as. I hope that using this message I promoted my friends (:-RRB-) but additionally unfamiliar people to take a trip to Scotland. It is actually truly worth a hundred times! I welcome you to explore, if merely I am still here. Beautiful Scottish seasides. Loch Lomond Backpack. Iona- very small isle, white beaches. Isle of Skye. Glencoe. Eilean Donan Castle. Isle of Arran. Scotland is certainly a truly lovely nation, as well as every year it is actually gone to through crowds of travelers coming from the United States, France, and even Italy or Spain. Arran is actually gotten in touch with Scotland in mini. Scotland, like the entire of Great Britain, is actually not one of the cheapest places. It was actually already spring season in Scotland, the sun was actually heating up, while in Scotland it was actually still winter all over. I hope that along with this article I motivated my close friends (:-RRB-) yet also complete strangers to travel to https://www.scotland.com/

    A large percentage of of the things you articulate happens to be supprisingly accurate and that makes me ponder why I had not looked at this in this light before. Your piece really did turn the light on for me personally as far as this particular subject goes. However at this time there is actually one particular issue I am not really too cozy with so while I attempt to reconcile that with the central idea of your issue, allow me see just what all the rest of the readers have to say.Well done.
