Women Carry Half the Sky – Tales of Congolese Women
Forord til ”Kvinner bærer halve himmelen.

But many countries are suffering under deadly, dramatic internal conflicts.
Men det er mange dødelige, dramatiske og lidelsesfulle konflikter internt, i land.
In such conflicts, the civilian population is always particularly vulnerable.
I slike konflikter er alltid sivilbefolkningen spesielt utsatt.
And one thing seems never to change: women are the hardest hit, and suffer the most from poverty, hunger, disease and violence.
Og noe synes uforanderlig: Kvinnene rammes hardest og er mest utsatt for fattigdom, sult, sykdom og overgrep.
In many conflicts, sexual violence forms part of a military strategy.
Seksualisert vold er i mange konflikter en del av en militær strategi.
This applies to all kinds of armed forces – both government troops and insurgents.
Det gjelder alle væpnede aktører – regjeringsstyrker som opprørere.
In addition to the personal physical and psychological suffering – which is difficult to put into words – rape leads to permanent stigmatisation of the victims in many countries.
I tillegg til de personlige fysiske og psykiske lidelser – som det er vanskelig å finne ord for å beskrive – fører voldtekt i mange land til varig stigmatisering av ofrene.
They are ostracised by their families, their local communities and their networks.
De utstøtes fra sine familier, lokalsamfunn og nettverk.
This is instrumental in impeding or undermining the necessary process of post-war reconciliation.
Dette bidrar til å ødelegge eller svekke en nødvendig forsoningsprosess etter at en krig er over.
And this, in turn, can lead to dangerous destabilisation, at both national and regional level, fuelling further war and conflict.
Og det kan igjen skape en farlig destabilisering nasjonalt og regionalt, som gir nytt grunnlag for krig og konflikt.
It is a vicious circle – one that some people have an interest in maintaining.
En vond sirkel, som noen faktisk ønsker.
This is one of the reasons why sexualised violence used as part of military strategy is also recognised as a security problem.
Dette er noe av bakgrunnen for at seksualisert vold som en del av en militær strategi er blitt anerkjent også som et sikkerhetsproblem.
The armed conflicts that have ravaged the Democratic Republic of the Congo during the last 15 years have led to one of the most serious humanitarian crises the world has ever seen.
De væpnede konfliktene som har herjet i Den demokratiske republikken Kongo de siste 15 årene har ført til en av de alvorligste humanitære krisene som verden har sett.
In January 2008, the organisation International Rescue estimated that around 5.4 million people had been killed as a result of this war.
Organisasjonen International Rescue anslo i januar 2008 at om lag 5,4 millioner mennesker er drept som følge av krigen.
It is a figure that defies comprehension.
Det er et ufattelig tall.
In addition, millions of people have been forced to flee their homes, and in the eastern part of country alone there are more than 1.5 million internally displaced persons.
I tillegg er millioner av mennesker drevet på flukt, og bare i den østlige delen av landet finnes det nå mer enn 1,5 millioner internt fordrevne.
This violence has reached terrifying proportions.
Denne volden har nådd et uhyggelig omfang.
UNICEF has estimated that around 200 000 women and girls have been raped since 1996.
Unicef har anslått at omlag 200.000 kvinner og jenter er blitt voldtatt siden 1996.
However, these figures are uncertain, and sadly there is reason to believe that the true figures are significantly higher.
Men tallene er usikre og det er dessverre grunn til å tro at mørketallene er betydelige.
Fortunately, this issue has now been placed high on the international agenda.
Heldigvis er dette temaet nå satt høyt på den internasjonale dagsorden.
A milestone was reached in 2008, when the UN Security Council adopted resolution 1820 on women, peace and security, which to a large extent addresses sexualised violence.
Det var en milepæl da FNs sikkerhetsråd i 2008 vedtok resolusjon 1820 om kvinner, fred og sikkerhet, som i stor grad handler om seksualisert vold.
The victims of violence must be given more than just medical treatment; they must receive financial and other compensation.
Ofrene må gis økonomisk kompensasjon og erstatning.
Perpetrators must be punished, whatever their rank and status, regardless of whether they are military personnel or civilians.
Overgriperne må straffes, uavhengig av deres rang og status, uavhengig om de er soldater eller sivilister.
Those who are guilty of sexualised violence must be punished.
De som gjør seg skyldig i seksualisert vold må få sin straff.
No one should be able to hide behind immunity to avoid punishment for their crimes.
Ingen skal kunne få skjule seg bak immunitet for å unngå straffeforfølgelse.
We must strengthen our efforts to combat sexualised violence in our contacts and dealings with the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Vi må styrke vårt arbeid for å bekjempe seksualisert vold i våre forbindelser og kontaktflater med regjeringen i Kongo.
We must also exploit the space that has been created in the UN for combating such abuse.
Vi må også utnytte det rom som er skapt i FN for å bekjempe overgrepene.
We must continue to give the UN a central role and the necessary resources to remain at the forefront in preventing and responding to sexualised violence.
Vi må fortsette å gi FN en sentral rolle og de nødvendige ressurser til å stå i front for å forebygge og håndtere seksuell vold.
Through text and photographs they let the stories emerge – of the people, their individual experiences, the background and the magnitude of the problem.
I tekst og bilder trer historiene fram – menneskene, enkeltfortellingene, bakgrunnen, omfanget.
As the Chinese say, one picture is worth more than ten thousand words.
Ett bilde er mer verd enn ti tusen ord, lyder det kinesiske ordtaket.
And words are inadequate to express the emotions these pictures evoke.
Og ord strekker heller ikke til i møte med et billedmateriale som dette.
This is a painful and brutal reality full of suffering.
Denne virkeligheten er vond og brutal og full av lidelse.
We see the faces – their pain, loss and vulnerability.
Vi ser ansiktene – smerte, savn og sårbarhet.
Thousands of miles away, yet so close, so close – face to face.
Flere tusen mil fra oss, men samtidig så nært, så nært – ansikt til ansikt.
The pictures and the stories convey a message.
Bildene og historiene er bærere av budskap.

Consultation: New regulations on the management of the Government Pension Fund – Global
Høring: Nye regler om forvaltningen av Statens pensjonsfond – Utland
The Ministry’s regulation of Norges Bank’s management of the fund is currently defined in three different sets of rules.
Departementets regulering av Norges Banks forvalteroppdrag er i dag spredt over tre forskjellige regelsett.
A duty to prepare a strategic plan.
Krav om utarbeidelse av en strategisk plan.
A proposal that supplementary limits be introduced for risk-taking in active management.
Det foreslås fastsatt supplerende grenser for risikotakning i den aktive forvaltningen.
A proposal that limits be set for leverage in the management.
Det foreslås fastsatt rammer for opplåning (”leverage”) i forvaltningen.
A proposal that the bank publish its principles for setting pay.
Det foreslås at banken skal offentliggjøre prinsipper for avlønning.
More extensive public reporting requirements, including information about pay.

In addition, rules have been proposed to regulate investments in the new asset class real estate.
I tillegg er det foreslått regler som nærmere regulerer investeringer i den nye aktivaklassen fast eiendom.
It is not a requirement that the new regulations be circulated for comment, but the Ministry has nevertheless deemed it pertinent to carry out a public consultation process.
Det er ikke et krav at det nye regelverket skal på høring, men departementet har likevel funnet det hensiktsmessig å gjennomføre en høring.
Any comments on the draft regulations should be submitted to the Ministry by 15 October 2009.
Eventuelle merknader til utkastet kan fremmes til departementet innen 15. oktober 2009.
