They'll need thousands more people, and thousands more dollars. Rape is an epidemic there now; civilization has collapsed.

Hey Paul,

Thank you for the questions. Initial funding enabled us to purchase all the equipment for the center, train call center staff and get the lines set up. The 572 call center is now an integrated component of the comprehensive support that KOFAVIV provides to its members, and all women and girls who are victims of gender-based violence. They have dedicated staff to answer calls, direct callers to medical care, and provide accompaniment when and where possible. Since the call lines were launched over a month ago, they have fielded calls from police precincts, the general hospital and women who learned about 572 from KOFAVIV agents who work in the camps.

Following our most recent strategic planning session with KOFAVIV, they decided to expand outreach for the call center, so that they can reach more women and girls throughout Port-au-Prince. At the current volume of calls, KOFAVIV is able to sustain services regardless of whether more money is raised, from the support they have already secured. With the additional funding we're seeking, they will be able to widely promote the service
in the camps. Additionally, the funds will sustain our staff person in Haiti, KOFAVIV's call center staff and provide funds for transport and
accompaniment of victims through the next year. Sustainability of the
call center was really important to KOFAVIV, us and our donors, which is
why it is tied to KOFAVIV's committed work in the first place.

Let us know if you have more questions!
Emily

I'm a little confused - the system is live but has no funding? Is there a strategy for sustaining this into the future? How long will $150,000 last?

You are aware, of course, that democracy is not a concept given once and for all, that it is interpreted differently in different countries and that it constantly evolves.

I find interesting the below article: http://scienceblogs.com/terras... and particularly the phrase "Democracy needs to evolve to the point where our representatives cannot vote on matters of scientific truth, just as a majority should not be able to vote to deny the rights of a minority".

You know I think it is a cyclical process. Democracy which exists only in digital way in terms of transparency and free development one day will transfer into real democracy or disappear at all (e.g Belarus). Happy New Year, dear Pan Biliotekar!

Re: Future of Libraries in Ukraine and Romania

paparazzi — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 06:07:27 -0000

Who should we blame for that? With the change of Ukrainian political system in the 90s, we have received a unique opportunity to use all benefits of capitalist system. Who is guilty that we always cry for having no money and do not look for any investors and randomly participate in projects competitions? Thanks for your comments, i do appreciate them.

Could suggest any alternative source of information of those times, dear Pan Bibliotekar? And by the way, opinions of observers support this facts written in them=)
