Child Sexual Abuse: Social Media Campaign

 

It is important to start a social campaign in the Nation everywhere with everyone's participation  regarding CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE and MENSTRUATION from ground level to National Level.

And for this very source must be used from local, traditional system to Modern one.

Video, Photographs, Paintings, Slogans, Wall Paintings, and Posters etc can help a lot to give this campaign a new height.

The idea behind this is reach out to people, encouraging them to talk about Child Sexual Abuse and Menstruation normally and spreading the message to thousand others through the platform of social media.

Taboos and Myths surrounding menstruation (e.g. restrictions on entering the kitchen or temple, preparing certain foods, touching other people) make it difficult for Girls and Women to See menstruation as a natural phenomenon and talk about it. 

The negative impact of poor MHM is immense.

The problem that we have to trying to work out towards a positive atmosphere is –

70% of mothers consider menstruation 'dirty', perpetuating a culture of shame and ignorance.

8% of menstruating women in India use home-grown alternatives like old fabric, rags, sand, ash, wood shavings, newspapers, dried leaves, hay, and plastic.

63 million adolescent girls live in homes without toilet facilities.

Girls are typically absent for 20% of the school year due to menstruation, which is the second major reason, after household work, for girls to miss school.

70% increase in incidence of reproductive tract infections owing to poor menstrual hygiene.

                                                      The End.

How is arsenic used?

 

 

Arsenic compounds have been used in many ways, including:

• As a preservative in pressure-treated lumber
• In pesticides
• As a preservative in animal hides
• As an additive to lead (such as in lead-acid batteries) and copper
• In some glass manufacturing
• As arsine gas to enhance electrical junctions in semiconductors

Although arsenic can be poisonous in higher doses, it has also been used in some medicines.

In the 1800s and early 1900s, arsenic was commonly used to treat diseases such as syphilis and psoriasis. 

A form of arsenic is still used to treat an uncommon blood cancer known as acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Arsenic occurs in large quantities in the earth's crust and in trace quantities in rocks, soil, water and air. Exposure to high levels of arsenic can cause cancers and other disorders. 

Boiling water contaminated with chemicals such as nitrates or toxic elements such as arsenic is a bad idea, so there may be circumstances when re-boiling water is a problem this is really only a problem in a few rural areas where water quality isn't monitored.

Arsenic contamination of groundwater is a form of groundwater pollution which is often due to naturally occurring high concentrations of arsenic in deeper levels of groundwater.

It is a high-profile problem due to the use of deep tube wells for water supply in the Ganges Delta, causing serious arsenic poisoning to large numbers of people. 

A 2007 study found that over 137 million people in more than 70 countries are probably affected by arsenic poisoning of drinking water. 

Arsenic contamination of ground water is found in many countries throughout the world, including the USA.

Approximately 20 major incidents of groundwater arsenic contamination have been reported. 

Of these, four major incidents occurred in Asia, in Thailand, Taiwan, and Mainland China.
