Godt 230 000 personer blev smittet med hiv i 2003, hvilket bringer det samlede antal hiv-smittede i denne region op på 1,5 millioner.
Some 230 000 people were infected with HIV in 2003, bringing the total number of people living with the virus in this region to 1.5 million.
Det skønnes, at aids krævede 30.000 menneskeliv sidste år.
AIDS claimed an estimated 30 000 lives in the past year.
For eksempel voksede antallet af nydiagnosticerede hiv-infektioner i Den Russiske Føderation til 33 % i 2002 i forhold til 24 % et år tidligere.
For instance, in the Russian Federation, newly diagnosed HIV infections rose to 33% in 2002, compared to 24% a year earlier.
(Sammenlignelige tal vedrører Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus og centralasiatiske lande).
(Comparable figures concern Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus and Central Asian countries).
Selv om den overvejende faktor for smitte er det voksende forbrug af narkotika, er der også sket en kraftig stigning i antallet af smitte fra mor til barn.
Even though the main factor of transmission is the increase in use of drugs, there is also a sharp rise in mother-to-child transmission of the virus.
Tallene tyder på, at der er indledt en ny fase i epidemien i dele af de lande, hvor den seksuelle spredning af virussen er ved at blive et mere fremtrædende træk.
The figures indicate the onset of a new stage in the epidemic in parts of the countries, where the sexual spread of the virus is becoming a more prominent feature.
Da de fleste stiknarkomaner er unge og seksuelt aktive, overføres en stor del af de nye infektioner gennem seksuelt samvær.
Because most injecting drug users are young and sexually active, a significant share of new infections is occurring through sexual transmission.
På den anden side er der eksempler på god praksis, hvilket beviser, at en aktiv regeringspolitik kan yde et væsentligt biddrag til at nedbringe antallet af nye hiv/aids-smittede og også forbedre andre tal på området reproduktiv sundhed, f.eks. dødeligheden blandt fødende kvinder, andre seksuelt overførte infektioner, skamfering af kvinders kønsdele og alle sociale faktorer, der er knyttet til disse problemer (f.eks. Uganda, Senegal og Filippinerne).
On the other hand, there are examples of good practice, which prove that an active governmental policy can make a major contribution to bringing down the number of new HIV/AIDS infections and, furthermore, to improving other reproductive health figures such as maternal mortality, other sexually transmitted infections (STI), female genital mutilation (FGM) and all social factors linked to these issues (e.g. Uganda, Senegal, Philippines).
Et akut problem er stadig adgangen til reproduktiv sundhedspleje for flygtninge og i katastrofesituationer, hvor især kvinder er meget sårbare, og dette resulterer i større dødelighed og sygelighed blandt fødende kvinder, øget (ofte usikker) seksuel aktivitet med en øget risiko for seksuelt overførte infektioner og øget fertilitet.
A burning problem remains the access to reproductive health care for refugees and in emergency contexts, as refugees, and in particular women, are highly vulnerable, and this results in higher maternal mortality and morbidity, increased (often unsafe) sexual activity with an increased risk of STI and increased fertility rates.
Adgang til reproduktiv sundhed kan kun garanteres, hvis det internationale samfund opfylder de målsætninger, der blev fastsat i Cairo-programmet.
Access to reproductive health can only be guaranteed if the international community meets the goals set in the Cairo Programme.
Millenniumudviklingsmålene nævner ikke specifikt reproduktiv sundhed men omfatter tre hovedemner: børnedødelighed, forbedret sundhed blandt gravide og fødende kvinder samt bekæmpelse og forebyggelse af hiv/aids.
The Millennium Development Goals do not specifically mention reproductive health, but cover three major items: child mortality, improving maternal health and combating and preventing HIV/AIDS.
Hvis handlingsprogrammets mål om at skabe universel adgang til reproduktiv sundhed senest i 2015, som blev tiltrådt af 179 lande, skal opnås, skal der sikres et helhjertet internationalt engagement.
To meet the goals endorsed by 179 countries in the Programme of Action to provide universal access to reproductive health by 2015, full international involvement must be ensured.
Medens industrilandene har bidraget med 76 % af deres andel og donorlandene med kun 45 % eller endnu mindre, har bidragene fra FN-organisationer kun beløbet sig til 17,6 % af det mål, der blev opstillet på den internationale konference om befolkning og udvikling for 2000.
While developing countries contributed 76% of their share and the donor countries only 45% or even less of their share, the contributions from UN organisations amounted to just 17.6% of the ICPD target for 2000.
Dette udgør alt i alt 45,6 % af konferencens for 2000.
All in all, this represents a total of 45.6% of the ICPD target for the year 2000.
Situationen forværres yderligere af den politik, der er blevet ført i USA, siden Bush-regeringen kom til magten.
The situation is made even worse by the policy conducted by the US since the Bush Administration came into place.
Den amerikanske regering har tilbageholdt midler fra FN's Befolkningsfond (UNFPA) i 2002 og 2003 og vil sandsynligvis også gøre det i 2004.
The US Administration withheld funds from the UNFPA in 2002 and 2003, and will most probably do so again in 2004.
Regeringen tilbageholdt US$ 34 mio. fra UNFPA alene i 2002 og fortsatte denne politik i 2003.
The administration withheld US$ 34 m from the UNFPA in 2002 alone and is continuing this policy in 2003.
Bistand til udenlandske ikke-statslige organisationer, som tilbyder, rådgiver om eller går ind for abort, er bortfaldet.
Assistance to any foreign non-governmental organisations which provide, advise on or advocate abortion has been cancelled.
Og desuden er denne politik i 2003 blevet udvidet til at omfatte enhver form for bistand til frivillig befolkningsplanlægning, til nødhjælps- og flygtningebistand, f.eks. Den Internationale Sammenslutning af Foreninger for Familieplanlægning (IPPF).
Furthermore, this policy was extended in 2003 to include all assistance for voluntary population planning for emergency and refugee assistance, e.g. the IPPF.
Selv om EU forsøger at kompensere for dette tab, vil det være nødvendigt at sætte langt flere finansielle ressourcer ind for at opfylde disse mål.
While the EU is trying to make up for this loss, far more financial resources need to be devoted to meeting these goals.
Handicappedes rettigheder
The rights of disabled people
Ifølge FN lider hvert tyvende menneske af et handicap på grund af invaliditet.
According to the United Nations, one person in twenty in the world is disabled.
Tre fjerdele af alle handicappede lever i udviklingslandene, og der er en klar kløft mellem rige og fattige lande og mellem lande med fred og lande i krig.
Three-quarters of disabled people live in developing countries and there is a clear difference between rich countries and poor countries, between countries at peace and countries at war.
Mange af årsagerne til invaliditet og handicaptilstande er derfor uundgåelige.
But many of the causes of incapacity, disability and disabling situations can be avoided.
Ved post-infektiøse eller post-traumatiske tilstande (vold, væbnede konflikter, færdselsulykker) kan de med tilstrækkelige midler forebygges og/eller behandles.
If they result from infection or trauma (violence, armed conflict, road accidents) they could be prevented and/or treated if sufficient resources were available.
Men selv medfødte handicap kan afhjælpes i industrilandene.
But even congenital disabilities can be alleviated in developed countries.
Befolkninger, der er invaliderede af krige, psykisk traumatiserede, mentalt uligevægtige, som lever langt fra centre for rehabilitering og behandling er skjulte ofre, der ofte ikke medtages i statistikkerne fra væbnede konflikter.
People who are mutilated by war, displaced, psychologically traumatised, mentally unstable and far from any care or rehabilitation centre are hidden victims who often do not feature in statistics on the outcome of armed conflicts.
En lang række af disse ofre indgår simpelthen i regnskabet som ekstraomkostninger.
Many of these victims are simply counted as collateral damage.
I EU er kampen for handicappedes rettigheder og for deres fuldstændige integration som fuldgyldige og aktive medborgere uden forskelsbehandling (bevidst eller ubevidst) en daglig kamp.
In the European Union there is still an ongoing, daily struggle for the rights of disabled people and for them to be fully integrated into the working population and not face any discrimination (conscious or unconscious, deliberate or not).
Det vidnede det Forum, som afsluttede Det Europæiske Handicapår i 2003, om.
This is the evidence presented by the Forum which closed the European Year of People with Disabilities in 2003.
Hvordan er situationen så ikke i rundt omkring verden, hvor hverken landets ressourcer, lovgivningerne, de nationale prioriteter eller den lokale solidaritet kan løse disse problemer?
What are we to think of what is happening in the world if not even the country's resources, legislation, national priorities or local solidarity can tackle the problem?
I lavindkomstlande begrænser eller umuliggør invaliditet og handicap adgangen til uddannelse og beskæftigelse og somme tider også adgangen til at nyde elementære rettigheder.
In low-income countries, incapacities and disabilities limit or cut off altogether any access to education and employment and even sometimes to fundamental rights.
Det fører til social og økonomisk udstødelse og skaber en fattigdom, som yderligere nedsætter levealderen.
They lead to social and economic exclusion and thus poverty, which reduces life expectancy still further.
Den ret til seksualitet og ansvarligt forældreskab, som de europæiske handicapforbund kæmper for, virker i de lande som en malplaceret luksus.
European associations’ demands for the right to a responsible sex life and parenthood seem an inappropriate luxury.
Mentale handicap afvises ofte eller negligeres, men kan også føre til anbringelse og behandling i institutioner eller til krænkende tilbageholdelser og undertiden til tvangssterilisering.
Mental disability is sometimes denied or ignored but it can also mean that sufferers are treated, cared for or detained in degrading conditions and sometimes suffer forced sterilisation.
Det forekommer, at fysiske og sansemæssige handicap giver anledning til udnyttelse (tvunget og organiseret tiggeri), selv i lande, der har ansøgt om tiltrædelse af EU.
Physical and/or sensory disability can lead to exploitation (forced and organised begging), even in countries applying to join the EU.
Ngo'erne gør et stort og vigtigt arbejde på dette område.
The work of NGOs in this area is remarkable and essential.
Mange af disse organisationer nøjes ikke med at behandle handicappet eller manglen eller at rehabilitere de mennesker, der er ramt, men de arbejder også for anerkendelse af deres grundlæggende rettigheder som personer og borgere i deres lande.
Many of these associations do not simply treat the disability or deficiency and rehabilitate the people concerned, but they also aim to ensure that their fundamental rights as people and citizens in their own country are recognised.
De bekæmper samtidig årsagerne til handicap og mangler af enhver art.
They also act to combat the causes of disabilities and deficiencies, of whatever kind.
En ganske særlig støtte bør ydes til de ngo'er, der gør en indsats for at bekæmpe landminer.
There should be particular support for NGOs working to combat anti-personnel mines.
Landminerne forårsager hvert år 26.000 dødsfald i verden i konfliktområder eller i tidligere konfliktområder.
Every year mines cause approximately 26 000 deaths in the world, in current or former conflict zones.
De forskellige minerydningsprogrammer, som tilpasses hver enkelt situation, omfatter ikke blot rehabilitering af ofrene, heriblandt et stort antal børn, men også forsøg på at overtale de krigsførende, såvel stater som andre, til at give afkald på at anvende disse morderiske redskaber.
Various mine clearance programmes developed for each situation not only aim to rehabilitate the victims, including a large number of children, but also try to persuade the warring factions, whether governments or not, not to use these murderous devices.
Når International Campaign to Ban Landmine (ICBL Nobel-fredspristager i 1997) kan påvise, at antallet af landmineproducerende lande i løbet af ganske få år er faldet fra 54 til 16, og at 22 millioner miner er destrueret af omkring 50 lande, er det på sin plads at rejse kritik af, at en række lande, herunder slet ikke de mindste, nemlig bl.a. USA, Rusland, Kina, Indien og Pakistan, ikke engang har undertegnet Ottawa-traktaten og ikke synes at ville engagere sig i dette spørgsmål, samt af, at andre lande ikke overholder de forpligtelser, de har påtaget sig ved deres underskrift.
Although the Landmine Monitor (ICBL, Nobel prizewinner 1997) shows that the number of mine-producing countries has dropped from 54 to 16 in a few years and that 22 million mines have been destroyed by about 50 countries, it must be said that many countries, and not just the small ones (USA, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, etc) have not yet signed the Ottawa Treaty, and do not seem to have decided to commit themselves, and other countries which have signed have not honoured their commitment.
