More girls in school thanks to policy reforms

LUSAKA, 7 Dec 2005 (IRIN) - More Zambian girls are attending school after government interventions such as allowing teenage mothers back to school and waiving fees and uniforms.

Re-admission in many schools has doubled since the Ministry of Education introduced the re-entry policy prohibiting the expulsion of pregnant girls in 1997, according to official statistics.

The policy requires girls to go back to school not later than a year after giving birth, while other interventions have also increased the enrolment rate.

NAIROBI, 12 Dec 2005 (IRIN) - Displaced people in the strife-torn western region of Darfur continue to be threatened and harassed even after their arrival in camps, aid workers say.

"The security situation in Abu Shouk [the second largest camp in Darfur] is deteriorating each day," says a local aid worker.

"IDPs [internally displaced persons] were reporting continuous military presence inside the camps during the nights with threats, detentions, harassment to the civil population and shootings."

MBABANE, 9 Nov 2005 (IRIN) - In response to growing alarm over Swaziland's HIV infection rate, a draft law proposing the death penalty for child rape and the intentional transmission of the virus was released this week.

"Any person who is convicted of rape under this bill is liable to the death penalty if the victim is below the age of 14 years, or to the death penalty if HIV and AIDS are an aggravating factor, or to the death penalty where such person has parental power over the child," reads the Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Bill of 2005.

With results in from a third of polling stations across the West African nation, the National Elections Commission said that Sirleaf had won 60.4 percent of the ballots cast in Tuesday’s second-round vote and Weah had captured 39.6 percent.

As the first preliminary and partial votes were being announced, the former AC Milan striker was declaring that the ballot had been fixed.
