OHCHR > English > Your Human Rights > Women > SRWomen > Individual Complaints Model Questionnaire
The Special Rapporteur is mandated to seek and receive information on violence against women, its causes and consequences from Governments, treaty bodies, specialized agencies, other special rapporteurs responsible for various human rights questions and intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, including women's organizations, and to respond effectively to such information.
The Special Rapporteur transmits urgent appeals and allegation letters (communications) to States regarding alleged cases of violence against women which she receives. Allegations may concern one or more individuals or may convey information relating to a general prevailing situation condoning and/or perpetrating violence against women. It should be emphasized that, in accordance with her mandate, the Special Rapporteur is in a position only to process cases of alleged violence or threats of violence directed against women because of their sex. The definition of gender-based violence used by the Special Rapporteur is taken from the United Nations Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women, adopted by the General Assembly in its resolution 48/104 on December 1993.
The dialogue established with governments by the Special Rapporteur and the transmission of allegations concerning their countries in no way implies any kind of accusation or value judgment on the part of the Special Rapporteur, but rather a request for clarification with a view to trying to ensure, along with the government concerned, the effective prevention, investigation, and punishment of acts of violence against women and compensation for victims of such violations.
Urgent transmissions may be sent by the Special Rapporteur to concerned Governments when reliable and credible information is received concerning cases which involve an imminent threat, or fear of threat, to the right to personal integrity or the life of a woman. When transmitting urgent actions, the Special Rapporteur appeals to the Governments concerned to ensure effective protection of those under threat or at risk of violence.
Allegation Letters
For those communications that do not require urgent action but relate to violations that already occurred and/or to general patterns of violations - including the legal framework and its application as regards violence against women – the Special Rapporteur may send allegation letters requiring Governments to clarify the substance of the allegations received.
How to submit cases to the Special Rapporteur
It is important to provide as much information as possible. The individual complaint form can be used to document cases of violence against women.
It would be helpful to receive a summary of the main points of the case. The summary could identify the rights that have been or may be violated. If your government has ratified human rights treaties, you could refer to the specific provisions of the treaties you believe have been violated.
If your submission is in regard to a law, practice or policy which affects women in general or women in a specific group, explain how other women are affected or describe the group. A consistent pattern in individual cases can be used to demonstrate a general failure to prevent and respond to private abuses.
If you submit information about violations committed by private individuals or groups (rather than government officials), include any information which might indicate that the government failed to exercise due diligence to prevent, investigate, punish, and ensure compensation for the violations. For example information on:
whether or not there is a law which addresses the violation
any defects in existing laws such as inadequate remedies or definitions of rights
the refusal or failure by authorities to register or investigate your case and other similar cases
the failure by the authorities to prosecute your case and other similar cases
patterns of gender discrimination in the prosecution or sentencing of cases
statistics and other data concerning the prevalence of the type of violation described in the submission.
The identity of an alleged victim will always be included in any contact between the Special Rapporteur and State authorities. The Special Rapporteur cannot intervene without revealing the victim's identity. If the victim is a minor (below 18 years of age), the Special Rapporteur will include his or her identity in contact with the State, but will not include it in any subsequent public report. Similarly, if there are grounds to believe that revealing the identity of the victim in a public report might put the victim at further risk, they will not be included in any public report. The source of the information provided or the victim may also request that the victim's name not be included in public reports. The name of the victim will be made public in the joint communications report of special procedures mandate holders, issued three times per year (March, June and September), unless the victim requests not to have his/her identity revealed in the said report. The identity of the source of information on the alleged violation is always kept confidential, unless the source agrees that it may be revealed. When submitting information you may indicate whether there are any other details which you would like to remain confidential.
Communications from the Special Rapporteur to the government are confidential at an initial stage until the summary of the letters and the answer of the government are included in the joint Communications Report of Special Procedures submitted periodically to the Human Rights Council. It is important for the Special Rapporteur to receive updated and relevant information on the situations referred to in the complaints submitted to enable him/her to continue to follow-up on the issue through his/her dialogue with the involved Parties. Person(s) or organization(s) that have submitted information and complaints are urged to consider the response made by Government and to submit their comments, if necessary, to the Special Rapporteur. Also note that several other individual complaint mechanisms have been established as part of the international human rights system. For more information please visit the Special Procedures page and the Human Rights Bodies-Complaints Procedures page.

View from Away: Football has a humanity problem (or is it vice versa?)
When Colts quarterback Andrew Luck walked off the field for a final time on Aug. 24 — multiple injuries having convinced him that retirement from professional football at age 29 was the only sensible option — Colts fans booed. It was a stunning display given the quarterback's past heroics on behalf of Indianapolis. This was the 2018 NFL Comeback Player of the Year who had previously overcome damage to his throwing shoulder as well as a concussion, leg injuries, a lacerated kidney and on and on. But the fans at Lucas Oil Stadium didn't see a man facing a lifetime of pain after 86 NFL games, they saw only a competitive disadvantage in losing a top-rated signal-caller so late in preparations for the season. And so they booed.
Such indifference shocked even veteran NFL players. Well, perhaps only a little. The mythology of the gritty football player who shakes off blown knees, broken bones, chronic pain and hits to the head so damaging they cause temporary unconsciousness — and perhaps a lifetime of impaired cognitive function — through sheer courage and willpower is as much a part of football as touchdowns and cheerleaders. Never mind that it's pure bunk. Football players are all too human, and if there's one thing medical science has discovered in recent years, it's that chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, a degenerative disease of the brain, is highly prevalent among former NFL players and incurable. That's a scary circumstance given that CTE has been linked to severe depression, suicide, Parkinson's disease and progressive dementia.
One suspects that reality won't receive top billing as the National Football League kicks off its 100th season this week. But it's hard to believe it won't be in the back of the minds of fans. Attendance at NFL games was down last year, but television viewing was up. More telling is that America's moms and dads aren't too wild about their sons taking up football. Youth football participation rates are down nationwide and have been for years. A survey conducted last spring by the University of Washington School of Medicine found 61% of parents support a ban on youth tackle football. In Maryland, high school football participation rates are falling, mirroring the five-year national trend, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations. Last year, Baltimore's Friends School dropped the sport entirely because so few students tried out. Howard County's Centennial High did the same thing one year earlier.
As fans gather around their television sets, the question remains: Are they cheering for the American team sport they grew up with or a gladiatorial competition where serious injury is a given? Do they view NFL players as fellow humans or something else — perhaps doomed participants in a Faustian bargain where for millions of dollars they have agreed to put a functioning brain on the auction block? Will Baltimore Ravens fans watch their own team's opening game against the Miami Dolphins with as jaundiced an eye as Colts fans? Presumably they won't cheer for injury to anyone, friend or foe, but what if their young star quarterback Lamar Jackson is wiped out by a defensive lineman so badly that he opts for retirement? Will fans see that as misfortune or cowardice? Looking down on Colts fans is easy (given the franchise's Baltimore roots), declining to boo the sudden retirement of their own quarterback might be something else.
To its credit, the NFL has been upgrading equipment and making minor rule changes to help prevent serious injury, but it's not clear whether it's been nearly enough. Some of the league's biggest stars invariably land on the disabled list. Despite seeing limited action during this year's preseason, the Texans have already lost their starting running back and the Patriots, their starting center for the year. The day football is once again seen as a wholesome activity is the day that youth participation rates are back on the rise. Until then, the NFL is perhaps best described as a guilty pleasure. It's all very well to be thrilled by the heroics and athletic skills displayed each week on the gridiron, but do such competitions come at far too high a price?

Call Blocker & Caller ID is the best app for identifying and blocking numbers, unknown callers. As a contacts widget, Call Blocker & Caller ID works like a mobile phone number tracker, number locator and caller number identification tool. We can identify calls, track phone number even identify unknown callers so as to find the TrueCaller and show who's calling you — Including the caller location.
-What keeps me from giving five stars is solely due to the popups to initiate features you may have already turned off. Also, the contact screen after ever call still initiates even after turning that feature off. Would be nice if OFF actually had merit with this app..
-I didn't really care for this app already because the caller ID function when someone calls me is kind of in the way of me answering the call. But today it started putting ads on my lock screen, which I am absolutely not okay with. I understand that ads are necessary for a free app, so I expect them when I open the app and I even expect them when their caller ID pops up as I receive a call. But no thank you to invasive lock screen ads. Uninstalling as soon as I submit this review and going back to the caller ID app I used to use.
-Adds an extra lock screen that asks you to slide to unlock. It does not mention this is going to happen and it is not immediately activated. I actually had the app for a week before I unlocked my phone to the surprise of having to figure out what direction to swipe to unlock. It was not clear. Additionally, this app only tends to tell me who I'm calling or tell me that someone in my address book is calling. I still get numbers that I have to look up or check the voicemail if one was left for me.
-Its not working properly bcz. A small ringed sound always left to caller before blocking. Where caller/s guess that I have cutoff their call intentionally though I have known who was this. When the main features is ABOUT CALL BLOCK then it should be based on fully block other wise it will be a PRANK only.
-I paid the money for a pro version but still i am getting the Ads frequently. So you are cheating the peoples by pro version. Kindly refund my money because i want to uninstall this time waste app.
-Would be better if there wasn't a million ads. Also, the free reverse look up is a joke. Just kicks u over to other apps, and they all charge for any sort of useful info, even tho they claim to be free.
-I've only had this 3 days but it has told me about spam calls and private numbers. I thought it would give names but not for me yet. I'll update this review in a month or so.
-Good app. Does what it says and keeps things simple. Just wish it had less adds and didn't have pop up screens after calls or the lock screen setting turned on automatically.
-It's awesome when comes to stopping annoying calls that doesn't understand the meaning of don't feel like being bothered. It's like putting you in control… Awesome!!!
-Finally I get some piece of mind from all the one ring scams and soliciting. This is a great app if you love silence. Silence is golden.
-It's a good voicemail service but, has way too many ads. But, what do you expect for free. The monthly charge for the Pro upgrade is way too expensive, so I'll stick with the free version and the ads.
-So far so good. I was getting annoying phone calls up to 5 a day from same number. Not anymore. Great app.
-As soon as I installed it the phone was free of telemarketers. No more nuisance calls.
-Good way to get rid of annoying scam. Wish it were a way to redirect scam calls to a pay line.
-It has the right idea but I had to uninstall it because if the intrusive ads. An ad in the program or while using it's features it's one thing, but you replaced my charging and lock screen.
-This app is so super cool & works great every time & with call blocker also. I'm Happy! Metro PCS they charge you $2.00 extra a Month to have caller ID!
-I love this app it works very well thank you. It stops all in coming calls.

DRESS/PROFESSIONAL SHOES - These shoes are donated to Connections to Success through their Dress for Success Midwest Program.
NEW SHOES - All new shoes are pulled out and sorted. Some are donated to kids in need through Bright Futures Lincoln County. Others are sold for $10 each and the funds again used for programs and impact in the field.
We sell the shoes to an exporter who then sells to micro-enterprise businesses. This creates jobs (roadside stands) and income in Africa.
Street vendors, carpenters, machine shop operators, seamstresses and peasant farmers---micro-entrepreneurs come in all types, and their businesses in many sizes. This diverse group requires a variety of support to grow and improve. Many of these men and women and their employees are poor and have limited access to services. But they do not lack potential. More than 80 percent of the businesses in Latin America and the Caribbean have 10 employees or less, and they account for as much as half of all employment in many countries. Numbered at some 50 million, these micro-enterprises can no longer be considered marginal. They are the heart of the region's economy.
Micro-enterprises contribute significantly to economic growth, social stability and equity. The sector is one of the most important vehicles through which low-income people can escape poverty. With limited skills and education to compete for formal sector jobs, these men and women find economic opportunities in micro-enterprise as business owners and employees.
In Chile, for example, a Banco del Desarrollo evaluation found that 88 percent of the bank's micro-enterprise clients, who represent the poorest groups, improved their standard of living after receiving a loan.
Women-owned businesses make up one of the fastest growing segments of micro-enterprise. In Latin America and the Caribbean, women own and operate 30-60 percent of such companies. The work women do outside the home is usually in addition to the care they provide for their families, which limits their business opportunities. Moreover, they often face even greater obstacles than their male counterparts in getting credit from formal sources.
Increased income in the hands of women is invested in health, education and housing for their families. As micro-entrepreneurs, women not only make a huge contribution to national income, but they also create reliable social safety nets for their families and communities.
Official policies often make business difficult for micro-entrepreneurs. Improved business regulations, tax regimes, licensing requirements, financial sector reform and bank supervision will promote better conditions for micro-enterprise development.
Less than five percent of Latin American micro-entrepreneurs have access to formal financial services. Deposit services are rarely geared to these business people, especially in rural areas. The small loans micro-entrepreneurs usually need generally are less attractive to traditional formal financial institutions because of their high transaction costs.
Micro-entrepreneurs also lack access to services such as marketing, training in basic business skills, and technology transfer.

STARTING A FAMILY OFFICE
Privacy Policy (Updated March 2018) | Refund Policy | Terms & Conditions | Press | GDPR


Moving is stressful, that is a fact of life. However when moving seniors, there may be an extra degree of anxiety associated with the experience. If you stop to consider that some seniors may have lived in their home for 40, or 50 years you can appreciate that the idea of moving can be overwhelming. Regardless of whether the seniors are moving into a personally owned condo, a retirement community complex or an assisted living facility, planning is the key to making the move as stress free as possible.
It is preferable for there to be a family member available who can assist the senior in getting ready for the move. Purging a household where things have been collected over decades takes time and effort, and if there isn't a family member who can assist with this task then it may be wise to consider hiring someone to help with the sorting and making the necessary arrangements. There are a number of companies who specialize in this area, just be sure to check out their credentials and track record before bringing them into your home. Personal recommendations are the best way to decide if a particular individual or company is right for you.
Deciding what to do with the contents of the senior's home is a big job so getting started as far in advance as possible will make things a little easier. Like with any move, sorting by category makes the most sense.
Furniture and other items will be kept and moved to the senior's new home.
Furniture and other items will be given to family members and/or friends.
Items that are suitable for sale.
Items that will be donated to a charity.
Items that are no longer useable and should be disposed of.
Generally, when seniors move their new accommodations will be much smaller than their existing home, so only a very limited amount of possessions will be moving with them. In some cases, they may decide to purchase some new furniture that will fit better in a condo or a retirement suite. Storage may also be quite limited so it is important to carefully choose what will be moved.
In terms of selling furniture and other items there are a number of options. If there are some genuine antiques or very fine furniture and other valuable items, holding an estate sale in the home or at an auction house may result in higher sale revenues. Just remember you must pay a commission to the person or company who is handling the sale for you. They will market and conduct the sale on your behalf.
A traditional garage sale is another option but unless there are family or friends who can assist, most seniors will find this choice to be too much work. Donating to a charity will be easier.
A key component for a stress free move for seniors is the right moving company. When moving seniors choosing a company like Premiere Van Lines makes a lot of sense. They will assign a professional moving consultant who will work closely with the seniors to help them plan each stage of the move. These individuals have the experience and empathy needed to reassure the senior that everything will be taken care of to their satisfaction.
From professional packing and unpacking at destination, to arranging the transportation of items being given to family and friends, to the delivery of items to designated charities and even disposing of items at the local municipal waste facility, Premiere Van Lines can coordinate moving seniors with minimal stress. The moving crews assigned will have the experience to move everything safely and the customer service skills to demonstrate a real degree of care and concern. Everything will be done to make the moving experience as stress free as possible.
For more information on Premiere's program designed to move seniors, contact your local Premiere Van Line office.
