  • Smallholder dairy farmers in Bangladesh, most of them women, are enjoying success through accessing a stronger dairy value chain.

    CARE is an international charity organization focused on improving the quality of life and development of people, increasing their HDI, that I would like to support.  The charity would improve the quality of life and development of people (increase their HDI) by helping people, women to be more successful in their day-to-day life, and by supporting certain projects that work to end the existence of poverty, and that support humans.  By helping women and other people and being against poverty they are working to increase countries' HDI's because if women are given more help, then they could know ways they could improve their life (e.g. getting a job, attending classes, etc.).  This would help the economy, thus improving their country's HDI.

  • In his letter to Guterres, NDP foreign affairs critic Paul Dewar notes the UN urges countries not to select refugees with “discriminatory selection criteria” such as ethnicity or religion.
  • In his letter, Dewar says the NDP agrees with the UN that “refugee applications should be assessed on the basis of need, not on the basis of religion, ethnicity, or any other characteristic.”
  •  
    The article specifically relates to why territorial conflicts arise among religious, ethnic, or national groups, in this instance it is more focused on religious groups, because it shows that these conflicts sometimes come from feelings that certain religions attract conflict, so there is a desire for a country to separate themselves from religions associated with conflict. Will any countries place sanctions on Canada, if they feel that Canada is being discriminatory?  This current event connects to a main APHUG concept of asking the why of where.  Why is Canada discriminating against certain groups with certain religions from Syria?
