Sex Trafficking In Romania: Trans-Atlantic Sex Trade Of 2022

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 4, 20220

Sex-Trafficking is a significant problem in today’s world. Individuals are trafficked for labour (28% of human trafficking ), and females specifically and predominantly as sex slaves(72% of all human trafficking). Romanian females as young as 10 years form a third of the sex trafficking in the United Kingdom. Romania is one of the more economically backward countries in Europe, with little to nothing for the locals not living in Romania’s capital city Bucharest. Hence recruiters go up to young girls and charm and flatter them. These young girls then listen to their middle-aged ‘boyfriends’ who pretend to be in love with them. Girls, unbeknownst to them, are at the time recruited from their schoolyard by these men. In 2021 there were 429 cases of sex trafficking identified in Romania. Ha...

Pooja YadavJuly 4, 20220

Polio eradication has remarkably enhanced its level despite the COVID-19 pandemic. the restrictions on travel and movement during the pandemic contained the spread of poliovirus in endemic countries — Afghanistan and Pakistan. Even circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV) cases that accounted for many polio-related paralyses in recent years, have dropped. But the impact of the pandemic on health and routine immunisation systems might make it tougher to stay the planet polio-free, even after the last case. To avoid recurrence, polio vaccines will be administered long after polio is eradicated. The first case of untamed poliovirus in Africa in additional than five years underlines the danger of infections in the future. Thousands of biological samples round the world should st

Anti-Defection Statute Is Ineffective In Times Of Crises; It Should Be Repealed

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 4, 20220

Maharashtra's anti-defection statute has again come to the fore in the recent political upheavals in the state. There are a number of issues to be resolved. While a no-confidence vote is being considered, may the Speaker (or in his absence, the Deputy Speaker) rule on a petition for disqualification of the current Speaker? Is it possible for the Supreme Court to examine the judgement before it is made? If two-thirds of the party's MLAs choose to break away from the party's leadership, would they have to unite with another party to avoid being disqualified from the election? As a first step, we must address the core source of these problems and abolish the anti-defection statute. In a nutshell, the anti-defection rule, also known as the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution, prohibits MPs a...

Learning Outcome Through Homework: Boon Or Bane For Students?

Pooja YadavJuly 4, 20220

One in all the foremost dreaded tasks of a highschool student, homework. Several students think homework being long, arduous, highly time-consuming and painful, especially essays. Swamped with homework, students work into the late hours of night and into the first hours of the morning before school.

Russo-Ukrainian War Melts Winter War Ice: Finland Moves Closer To Joining NATO

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 2, 20220

Sweden and, most importantly, Finland are the only E.U. not to join North Atlantic Treaty Organisation(N.A.T.O), constituting the U.S.A and other European countries. This is subject to change as both the countries come inches close to becoming part of N.A.T.O. after the Madrid summit on 29th June 2022. Finland achieved its independence from Russia in 1917. However, being at the border of a powerful state and losing a war resulted in losing 10% of their land. Finland opted for what war experts called ‘Finladisation’, i.e. opting to be neutral when bordered by a strong neighbour. The attack on Ukraine in Finland has changed its outlook. 62% of Fins have voted for joining N.A.T.O. in 2022, which had been 7% in 2017. Finland is primarily a key to this conflict if its membership in N.

The Papuan Conflict: Unknown War That Still Continues

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 2, 20220

The Papuan movement is little known worldwide, with little media covering the situation. As the Russo-Ukrainian conflict captures the attention due to the N.A.T.O and American planning because of domestic and international discrimination, the Papuan tribe's pain is not recognised. It is on the brink of utter submission to its aggressors Indonesia. The conflict is old as the nation of Indonesia and West Papua. In 1961 the Dutch relinquished their control over the Dutch East Indies, becoming Indonesia. The Guineas, later renamed West Papua, were also freed in 1962. However, this independence did not last long as Indonesians took control of the territory and annexed it in 1963. In the form of the U.N., the Western powers decreed the Act Of Free Choice in 1969. This was an election for P...

Columbia’s Peace Remains Incomplete, Environmentalists Become Endangered

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 1, 20220

Since the rise of industrialisation and urbanisation across the globe for human leisure and comfort, these technological advancements have taken a toll on nature and the world's environments. Many natural disasters and ill changes have occurred globally ever since and continue to plague the Earth's ecosystem to the point of destruction. To combat this, environmentalists actively protest for stopping, reforming and innovating methods and means used by modern factories and other industrial structures to save the planet and protect the environment. However, the messengers of this message are getting killed in Columbia. In Columbia, after the historic 2016 peace agreement ended, a 50-year-old civil war between the government and the leftist F.A.R.C. guerrillas. The programme sought t...
