Human rights watch is reporting that 178 out of 190 countries in the world guarantee paid maternity leave, by law. In nine countries the legal status of paid maternity leave was unclear. This leaves only three countries in the world that definitively offer no legal guarantee of paid maternity leave: Papua New Guinea, Swaziland—and the United States. Unbelievable. Where we stand? The flag bearer of human rights in the whole world, United States, stands with just two other countries in the world, Papua New Guinea and Swaziland! Shame, Shame, Shame, Shame, Shame! How dare we demand Qaddafi to step down for the violation of human rights?
International Labor Organization, ILO, in it’s report, has further broken down these statistics. It states that 120 countries provide maternity leave and related health benefits, by law, including most industrialized countries, with the exception of Australia, New Zealand and United States. Report also states, “The countries that provide the most paid maternity leave by law include: the Czech Republic – 28 weeks; Hungary – 24 weeks; Italy – 5 months; Canada – 17 weeks; Spain and Romania – 16 weeks each. Denmark, Norway, and Sweden all provide extensive paid leave which may be taken by either parent, although a portion is reserved for the mother.” In United States, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, provides a total of 12 weeks of unpaid leave in a twelve months period for the birth of a child and care of newborn. Above all, this very limited mandate is for the companies with 50 or more employees. Even the anti-discrimination laws in United States, that protect the pregnant women, women at childbirth and women effected by related conditions, from discrimination like firing from job or prohibiting breaks for breast milk pumping, are applied only to companies with 15 or more employees. While, Libya confirms to the ILO standards, except for the condition that the mother should be working for current employer for at least six months. Libya is also one of the 29 countries that have adopted the absolute prohibition on the dismissal of a worker during maternity leave for any reason. This means that our human rights situation, in some cases, is even worse then the world’s worst human rights violators. Cash and health benefits are also critical. A 1996 report to U.S. congress mentioned that 100% women who were eligible for maternity leave but did not take it, said that they could not afford it.
ILO is the organization that created the first global standard in 1919 for the protection of working mothers, before and after a childbirth. It was revised in 1952 and now requires a minimum of 12 weeks of paid maternity leave with health benefits, although, the recommendation is 14 weeks. In countries which provide cash benefits through social security, it requires to provide at least two third of her income, with full health benefits.
Currently 119 countries meet these standards, with 62 of these countries provide 14 weeks or more for paid maternity leave. Only 31 countries provide less then 12 weeks.
In the mean time, discrimination strongly prevails in most societies, around the world. In 1998, within United States, nearly one out of every three black males, between the age of 20-29, was in prison or jail. First Nations made about the 18% of federal prison population, within Canada in 2000, while they were only 2% of general population. Equality and Human Rights Commission has found the five times more blacks per head of their population are in prisons of England and Wales, as compared to whites.
In 2007 China’s leading headhunter company Chinahr.com reported that the average salary for white-collar men was $6441, while for white-collar women it was $4201. In accordance with a PwC report published in 2002 women occupied 40% senior management positions in FTSE 350 companies within U.K. When this research was repeated in 2007 this number was found to be down to 22%. In 2009, ILGA published a report based on research carried out by Daniel Ottosson at Södertörn University College, Stockholm, Sweden. This report found that 80% of countries around the world continue to consider homosexuality as illegal, five have death penalty for it and two practice death penalty for homosexuality in some parts of the country. This is termed as state sponsored homophobia and is most common in Islamic states. On February 5, 2005 the IRIN issued a reported titled “Iraq: Male homosexuality still a taboo”. Report stated the honor killings of gay members of family. In August 2009, Human rights watch published a detailed report about torture of gays in Iraq and stated tortures like, blocking men’s anuses with glue and giving laxatives after that.
South Africa, now, has one of the most progressive constitutions in the world, but, gay unions are still widely considered as un-African and it is reported that 86% of black lesbians from the Western Cape live under the fear of assault. Some other important facts regarding the discrimination are: African Americans are 79% more likely to live in an area where industrial pollution causes various health hazards. Only 24 U.S. states and D.C, include sexual orientation in their hate crime legislation. Two thirds of world’s children who receive less then four years of education are girls.
A UNICEF report states that the gender based infanticide, abortion, malnutrition and neglect are believed to be the cause of 60 to 100 million women missing from world population. 90 per cent of world’s child domestic workers are girls between the age of 12 to 17 years. Less then 2% of 120-150 million disabled children in the world receive education. In United States, the incidence of AIDS and HIV is twice in deaf community as compared to the other population. Disabled children make up an estimated 20% of institutionalized population in Central and Eastern Europe, Commonwealth of Independent States and Baltic States. In 1997, within Bulgaria, 16% of minority Roma population had not completed the basic education, as compared to three percent in general population.
So, where is the ideal of “all human beings are created equal? How much more sacrifices and struggle is required to achieve this ideal? Will we ever be able to reach this goal? How many more billions of people will keep suffering from the violation of their basic human rights and will remain the target of discrimination and for how long? It is really sad that there still are so many obstacles in achieving the goal of equality for human beings. Most right wingers still do not perceive this situation as a problem. Unfortunately, the opposition and resistance to the real and solid solutions is still very strong.

I have heard Glen Beck mention Davey Crockett several times but was not aware of this story. Too much has been taken out of our schools textbooks by the progressives in order to dumb down the population and gain more government control of our lives and literally steal our money and give it to those who have chosen not to work.
Hmm is anyone else having problems with the images on this blog loading? I’m trying to determine if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any feed-back would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?
Just to chime in as a player. I think most players in games like WoW and Rift see worldly VWs as something older gamers enjoyed Ultima Online, Everquest, Star Wars Galaxies. There would be a lot of interest in an old school game with good production values and marketing.
I appreciate your wordpress design, wherever did you down load it through?

Hey there are using WordPress for your blog platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and set up my own. Do you require any html coding knowledge to make your own blog? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Yes, we are using WordPress.
I really like your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you make this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz respond as I’m looking to construct my own blog and would like to know where u got this from. appreciate it
Eric, hang in! You dont sound like a true liberal but someone waiting to be convinced that the true American way is the right way. Obama is putting America on the road to destruction for which she will never recover. Pelosi, Reed, Frank, and Schumer are paving his way. Obama wants to be our dictator, not our President. His flowery words are just that words. Hopefully, you are familiar with the Bible enough to read 1 John 3-18, Dear Children, let us not love with words or tonque but with actions and TRUTH. We have yet to hear the TRUTH from Obama.
I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you design this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz reply as I’m looking to design my own blog and would like to find out where u got this from. thanks a lot

Both.
Amazon free shipping may be identified on specific items that they sell online, but not all are eligible.

Throughout this awesome scheme of things you actually receive an A for hard work. Where you misplaced me personally was first on all the details. You know, as the maxim goes, the devil is in the details… And it could not be more accurate here. Having said that, allow me inform you what did work. The article (parts of it) is definitely very persuasive and this is probably the reason why I am taking an effort in order to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, while I can easily notice the leaps in reason you come up with, I am not necessarily certain of just how you appear to connect your points which help to make the conclusion. For the moment I shall subscribe to your issue however wish in the near future you link the dots much better.
I discovered your entry interesting do I’ve added a Trackback to it on my weblog

I know a great deal of individuals who have saved dollars previously with an Overstock coupon. The retailer has just about something you are able to picture at an already discounted price, so in case you can get an excellent discount you might be buying wisely. They’re able to be discovered at numerous web sites that supply discounts.

Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all. Nevertheless just imagine if you added some great pictures or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this website could certainly be one of the greatest in its niche. Great blog!
