L'Unicef demande 3,1 milliards de dollars pour l'aide humanitaire aux enfants

(Belga) Le Fonds des Nations unies pour l'enfance (Unicef) lance jeudi un appel aux dons pour un montant de 3,1 milliards de dollars, un record, pour venir en aide à 62 millions d'enfants en danger dans les crises humanitaires partout dans le monde en 2015, annonce-t-il dans un communiqué. "Cela représente un bond de 1 milliard de dollars de plus en besoins de financement depuis l'appel de l'année dernière. Plus d'un enfant sur dix dans le monde vit actuellement dans les pays ou régions touchés par les seuls conflits armés", indique l'agence onusienne.

"Le montant avancé lors de l'appel annuel aux dons se base sur les situations réelles vécues sur le terrain", indique Philippe Henon, d'Unicef Belgique. "Et, malheureusement, les besoins sont de plus en plus importants."

Près d'un tiers du budget demandé (903 millions de dollars) concerne "une intervention régionale en Syrie et dans les pays voisins pour protéger les enfants en danger et apporter une aide essentielle, comme les vaccinations, de l'eau salubre, des moyens d'assainissement et une éducation", explique l'Unicef.

Parents who abandon children in care homes may lose right to block adoptions

Parents of children living in care homes who refuse to free them for adoption despite not being present in their lives could have them taken away under a new process to be discussed in Parliament today.

The measure could put an end to a system that leaves children in care homes for years.

Congo, 22 children abducted who are to be adopted by Italian couples The children were taken by force by three men with a French accent. While the Foreign Ministry is silent, Congo will investigate. Andrea Riva - Tue, 20/01/2015 - 09:28 In fact, this seems to be darker than it looks. As reported today by the Daily Done, which incorporates the Congolese newspaper Le Potentiel, the evening of last December 29, 22 children already destined for Italian couples were taken by force from the orphanage in Kinshasa, Maison Gabrielle Ange Family. Three men with a French accent would have entered the structure with violence, taking the kids in a hurry and qualifying as envoys of Cai, the [Italian] Commission for Intercountry Adoptions, chaired by Silvia Della Monica and under the dependencies of the Foreign Ministry. Le Potentiel writes, quoting a resident of the neighborhood of the orphanage,that the managers of the facility would have been mystified by the dynamics of the extremely agitated and bloody episode: "Wearing pijamas, the kids would have resisted their carers, would launch screams to oppose the transfer and were loaded on a vehicle by intermediaries of their adoptive parents. " To justify the raid, French men would have said that the children would be simply transferred to another facility, without making any reference to Italy. As written by the Congolese newspaper, it would have been three employees of the Italian foundation Raphael, who would have acted in violation of the standard procedure for custody of children. While the Foreign Ministry is silent on the episode, the Congolese ministry of Gender, Family and Children's has promised to launch an investigation.

Monday, January 12, 2015 will be exactly five years since Haiti was hit by one of the worst earthquakes ever. On Sunday 11 January, NCRV will broadcast a documentary about the hastily set up air bridge between the Netherlands and Haiti, with which more than 100 adopted children were rescued from the rubble and brought to the Netherlands.

After the earthquake of 7.0 on the Rigter scale that kills a quarter of a million people and makes 1.5 million homeless, contact with the children's homes where more than 100 adopted children live at that time is impossible, one of the houses is even partially collapsed. It takes a while before it becomes clear that the children survived the quake. More than half of the children have already met their adoptive parents-to-be from the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, the brave plan arises to take the children away. An air bridge between Haiti and the Netherlands can bring the children to safety. A tough and exciting mission, in the chaotic conditions in which the country finds itself. But how do you organize such a thing?

Macky Hupkes, director of the Dutch Adoption Foundation knows how to charter a plane. The World Children's Association is joining this initiative. The children are picked up by Dutch marines by bus and transferred to Port-au-Prince airport by navigating through the devastated country. The atmosphere at the airport is tense, 'get the fuck out of here!', one of the soldiers shouts. When the plane takes off, the discharge comes. More than a hundred children start to cry. Macky Hupkes texts to the Netherlands: 'Close the doors, the most beautiful crying concert ever'.

In NCRV 2Doc The kids are OK, those directly involved tell their story. How did the adoption organizations get the governments of the Netherlands and Haiti to authorize this action? Was it ethically right to get the children to the Netherlands more quickly? How did the parents experience the news of the earthquake when they had already embraced the child they were about to adopt? And what about the children now?

International adoptions. In the first quarter of 2015 the decline does not stop:15% foreign children less adopted by Italian families

the absence of official data on international adoptions in our country, we have to resort once again to projections. The Commission for International Adoptions, which in the past made public the data per semester in July and for the whole year in the month of January of the year Next, so rather late.

Then as now we have to do for some time, we have to resort to projections, combining the data of the Authorized Bodies (unfortunately not all comply with the requirement to publish them, as required by the Guidelines of the Commission itself) with those provided in the countries of origin.

CDR 2014:

Since the month of September; I started having back pains. The doctor considered this linked to my work and ordered me to interrupt work (sick leave), which lasted two months. Since September; I also expressed to my Head of Unit my wish to no longer work on Montenegro, and that I wanted to be transferred to another job inside DG ELARG (or outside). This because I discovered that the IPA financing in the field of child protection; especially where it concerns de-institutionalisation, given to Montenegro since 2011 did not really serve to reform the child protection system, but created a situation where children had a tendency to leave the country (in the context of intercountry adoption) rather than to remain in alternative care (return in the family of origin, foster care). This situation was even more difficult because the project did not target the creation of family-type homes, which do not exist in Montenegro.

Well conscious of similar problems in the past in Romania (which the demand for children had created a market in children) as responsible for the rights of the child in the Romania Team of DG ELARG in 2004-2005, I did not want to work with the Montenegrin authorities in this context which contributed to a "legalised" traffic in children. Especially because during the pre-accession of Romania, an Independent Panel of Experts on Family Law, established by the Commission, had concluded that in the case of Romania in 2004, intercountry adoption cannot be considered as a measure of child protection but has to be, if all, an exceptional measure.

This approach hs been also confirmed by the note about the lessons learned about the rights of children in Romania addressed by DG ELARG to DG JUST in 3013 (Ares(2013)3769525).
