Norway concerned about killing of Congolese human rights defender
Norge bekymret etter drapet på kongolesisk menneskerettsforkjemper
Mr Chebeya was found dead on Wednesday, the day after he had been summoned to the police headquarters in Kinshasa.
Chebeya ble funnet drept onsdag, dagen etter at han var innkalt til møte i politihovedkvarteret i Kinshasa.
He also chaired RENADHOC, the national network of human rights organisations in DR Congo.
Chebeya ledet også det nasjonale nettverket av menneskerettighetsorganisasjoner, Renadhoc.
The situation for human rights defenders and journalists has deteriorated in recent years, and there have been several killings.
Situasjonen både for menneskerettighetsforkjempere og for journalister har blitt vanskeligere de siste årene og flere drap har funnet sted.
“We call on the Congolese authorities to ensure that a thorough investigation of the killing is carried out.
- Vi ber kongolesiske myndigheter sørge for en grundig etterforskning av drapet.

Dear Sarita Skagnes,Thank you for your book, which I read with great interest.
Kjære Sarita Skagnes, takk for boken din.
Your story fills me with sadness, anger and sorrow.
Jeg leser den med stor interesse, og din historie fyller meg med vemod, raseri og sorg.

Dear Sarita Skagnes,
Kjære Sarita Skagnes,
Thank you for your book, which I read with great interest.
Takk for boken din.
I wish to stand together with you in the struggle against violence and oppression.
Jeg ønsker å stå sammen med deg i kampen mot vold og undertrykkelse.
Sarita’s story makes very clear the social change that Norway has undergone in recent decades.
Saritas historie tydeliggjør for alvor den samfunnsendring Norge har gjennomgått de siste tiårene.
Another, far more visible, change in Norwegian society has been the increase in immigration.
En annen – og langt mere synlig – endring av det norske samfunnet er økt innvandring.
Today there are about 415,000 immigrants in Norway, myself included.
I dag utgjør antall innvandrere til Norge omkring 415 000 personer totalt – meg selv inkludert.
More than half of them (230,000) come originally from non-western countries.
Mer enn halvparten av disse (230 000) kommer opprinnelig fra ikke-vestlige land.
On balance, immigration has had a positive effect on this country.
I overveiende grad har innvandringen en positiv effekt på landet.
Norway has become a more exciting place to live, and economic value creation is on the rise.
Norge har blitt et mer spennende sted å leve og verdiskapingen øker.
The brave Sarita Skagnes personifies the darker sides of family life.
Modige Sarita Skagnes personifiserer de mørkere sidene av familielivet.
She looks evil in the eye and neither tolerates violence nor turns away from it.
Hun ser ondskapen i øynene og viker ikke unna – enten ved å tåle volden – eller ved å vende det døve øret til.
We may have no problem with garlic fumes in the stairwell, but if a neighbour abuses his spouse or children, we must report it to the police and the child welfare service!
Vi lever godt med hvitløks-os i oppgangen, men hvis naboen mishandler ektefellen og ungene sine, må vi melde fra til politi og barnevern!
Let me make this crystal clear: nothing can excuse violence and oppression against children and women – not religion, not "culture", not ethnic background, not gender.
La meg derfor gjøre det klinkende klart med en gang: Ingenting kan unnskylde vold og undertrykking av barn og kvinner – ikke religion, ikke ”kultur”, ikke etnisk bakgrunn, ikke kjønn.
Violence is prohibited and must be treated with the utmost seriousness by law enforcement and child welfare authorities.
Vold er forbudt og må tas på største alvor av både justis- og barnevernsmyndighetene.
The mechanisms of oppression can be explained, but they must never be defended.
Undertrykkende mekanismer kan forklares, men de må aldri forsvares.
Many people live in families in which violence occurs frequently.
Mange lever i familier hvor vold forekommer hyppig.
Denying a woman the ability to learn Norwegian and take part in the life of the community strengthens a man's power and influence over family and financial matters.
Det å holde en kvinne utenfor norsk språk og samfunnsliv styrker mannens makt og innflytelse over familie og økonomi.
Employment provides economic independence and is a key to freedom for women in violent relationships.
Arbeidslivstilknytning gir økonomisk uavhengighet og er en nøkkel til frihet for kvinner som lever i voldelige relasjoner.
By participating in the workforce, women gain equality!
Gjennom deltakelse i arbeidslivet blir kvinner mer likestilte!
The government takes domestic violence seriously, and right now we are preparing a new action plan for the period 2008-2011.
Regjeringen tar vold i nære relasjoner på alvor, og akkurat nå utarbeider vi en ny plan som skal gjelde for perioden 2008-2011.
This plan will include measures to expand collaboration and expertise in the public service apparatus and to prevent violence within families and other close relationships.
Handlingsplanen vil omfatte tiltak både for å øke samhandling og kompetanse i tjenesteapparatet og forebygge vold i nære relasjoner.
Other measures will provide assistance and protection to the victims of such abuse.
Tiltakene skal også gi bistand og beskyttelse for ofre for slike overgrep.
Efforts to combat violence among relatives must also focus on the perpetrator.
Arbeidet mot vold i nære relasjoner må også fokusere på voldsutøveren.
Punishment alone is not the way to go.
Straff alene er ikke veien å gå.
The government is working to expand the geographical reach of assistance and treatment services for perpetrators of violence, so that such services will become available nationwide.
Regjeringen arbeider for å gjøre hjelp- og behandlingstilbudet til voldsutøverne landsdekkende.
Some immigrants come from societies where violence is used to exert control within families.
Noen innvandrere kommer fra samfunn hvor vold brukes for å utøve kontroll innad i familien.
Some immigrants bring this behaviour pattern with them to Norway, where all violence (fortunately) is forbidden; a method of family control previously considered acceptable is thus taken away.
Noen bringer dette handlingsmønsteret med seg til Norge, og de opplever at de fratas et tidligere akseptert virkemiddel her hvor all utøvelse av vold heldigvis er forbudt.
The government seeks to make such assistance and treatment plans available nationwide.
Regjeringen arbeider for å gjøre hjelpe- og behandlingstilbudet til voldsutøvere landsdekkende.
Our goal is for children to receive high-quality care and not be subjected to violence or other unacceptable conduct.
Vår målsetting er at barn skal gis god omsorg og ikke utsettes for vold eller annen uakseptabel atferd.
These principles are engraved in provisions of the Children's Act.
Disse prinsippene er nedfelt i barnevernlovens bestemmelser.
Norway has also signed the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of the Child, whose Article 19 obligates us to protect children against "all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation".
Norge har også sluttet seg til FNs barnekonvensjon, hvor vi forplikter oss til å beskytte barn mot (artikkel 19): ”alle former for fysisk eller psykisk vold, skade eller misbruk, vanskjøtsel eller forsømmelig behandling, mishandling eller utnytting.”
For several years the government has put violence and abuse high on its agenda, and many programmes and measures have been implemented.
Regjeringen har over flere år satt debatten om vold og overgrep på dagsorden, og mange tiltak er iverksatt.
This has been done in the knowledge that violence against children represents one of the greatest health risks in society.
Dette er gjort med bakgrunn i den kunnskap vi har om at vold mot barn er blant de største helserisikoene i samfunnet.
Far too many children – regardless of ethnic background – are exposed to violence and abuse.
Altfor mange barn – uavhengig av etnisk bakgrunn – utsettes for vold og overgrep.
For the time being we lack solid figures confirming that children with immigrant backgrounds are more exposed to violence and abuse than children of ethnic Norwegian background.
Vi har foreløpig ikke gode nok tall som bekrefter at barn med innvandrerbakgrunn er mer utsatt for vold og overgrep enn barn med etnisk norsk bakgrunn.
But disturbing stories like Skagnes’ give cause for worry.
Men rystende enkelthistorier, som Skagnes’, gir oss grunn til bekymring.
The government has therefore arranged for a survey to chart the extent, causal factors and consequences of sexual and physical abuse as well as the effect on children who witness such abuse in the home.
Regjeringen har derfor iverksatt en omfangsundersøkelse som kartlegger omfang, årsaksfaktorer og konsekvenser av seksuelle overgrep, fysisk mishandling og barn som er vitner til vold i hjemmet.
The survey project is being conducted by the NOVA social research institute, whose report is to be released at the end of November.
Prosjektet gjennomføres av forskningsstiftelsen NOVA og rapporten skal offentliggjøres i slutten av november.
The knowledge gleaned will be important when designing additional preventative measures and specific assistance and support mechanisms.
Slik kunnskap vil være et viktig bidrag når ytterligere forebyggende tiltak og målrettede hjelpe- og støttetiltak utarbeides.
We know that working with minority families can present special challenges.
Vi vet at det kan være ekstra utfordrende å jobbe med familier med minoritetsbakgrunn.
Our child welfare system must therefore be culturally sensitive.
Derfor trenger vi et kultursensitivt barnevern.
We need to increase the number of professionals with the necessary competence.
Antall fagfolk med slik kompetanse må opp.
The aim is to offer training to municipalities, starting with the 2008-2009 school year.
Det tas sikte på å starte opplæringen som tilbud til kommunene skoleåret 2008/2009.
It is also important that municipalities themselves put a premium on child welfare work and ensure that the services provided are highly professional.
Det er også viktig at kommunene prioriterer barnevernsarbeid og sørger for en profesjonell tjeneste.
We must also get more people to report violence against children.
Vi må også få flere til å melde fra om vold mot barn.
Schools and kindergartens are important arenas for discovering and reporting violence.
Skolen og barnehagene er viktige arenaer for å oppdage og si fra om vold.
All of us must dare to take this responsibility upon ourselves.
I tillegg må vi alle tørre og påta oss dette ansvaret.
It is a matter of common decency and concern for our fellow citizens.
Det handler om anstendighet og omsorg for våre medmennesker.
Yes, it’s awkward to report abuse, violence and intimidation in the private sphere, but we cannot afford to look away.
Ja, det er ubehaglig å melde fra om mishandling, vold og undertrykkelse i privatsfæren, men vi har ikke råd til å la være.
Let us therefore commit ourselves at the local level to all children and young people, including those with minority backgrounds.
La oss derfor engasjere oss lokalt for alle barn og unge – også de med minoritetsbakgrunn.
