The child soldiers are forced to fight for their country it is
not optional for them. Child soldiers are usually at least 11
years old before starting the duties as a soldier. Child
soldiers are used for fighting, cooking, spying, and sexual
reasons. The child soldiers are not able to get the propereducation because of how young they are when they are
pulled away from home. Child soldiers are both females and
males.
What is the problem?
8/6/2019 Global Issues Power Point
11/55
This problem is serious because their whole life they have
been surrounded by death. It is hard for the children to get
back in school because they are so traumatized by all the
death they have seen in their life. Most children suffer from
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder after coming back from war.This is also because they have not been around normal
people it is hard from them to be normal.
Why is it serious?

In certain countries such as Uganda have child soldiers
because the government enforces to have children in the
army. They would like to have them between the ages in
between 7 18. Most kids in this country join without force
between 14 18 years of age. Approximately 250,000,000kids have been forced into the army under the age of 18 in
this country. Recruiting in this country approximately starts
at 10 years of age.
What causes the problem?
8/6/2019 Global Issues Power Point
13/55
The problem affects young children between the ages of
10 and 18. These children have been chosen or already
apart of the armed force. The young children can be
used for combat, spies, and cooks. The children are
assigned too many combat tasks including laying
explosives and working as decoys. Sometimes the
children come out of combat but those chances are very
rare.
Who does the
problem affect?

There are many ways to help child soldiers return home from
the comfort of your own home. There are non-profit
organizations such as mission of Child Soldier Relief where
you can help child soldier get there proper education. By
donating money to certain foundations such as... AudreyHepburn Childrens Fund you may give child soldiers a chance
to go back to their original homes. You can also right letters to
the U.N. (united nations) stating why you think its wrong and
what you want done about it.
What can you do from home?

WHAT CAUSES THE
PROBLEM?
Since the economy has had a sudden drop
many people have lost their jobs due to
companies shutting down. Also many companies
are having trouble paying their employees. This
leads to them not being able to pay for a decent
home, for clothes, or just about anything.
Poverty then leads to hunger. Not having
enough money to buy food makes families
struggle to survive with hunger and starvation.

y Domestic violence is imposing your will on others inyour household or immediate family.
y Physical violence is when a single being in a house
hold (typically the father) tangibly causes injury tosomebody else in the family (usually the child or thewife)
y Mental Abuse when one participant of the
household emotionally blurs another. It could bename-calling, life threats, or projections of tension andwrath.
8/6/2019 Global Issues Power Point
33/55
y While male beating happens, about 95 to 99 percent of the sufferers of domestic violenceare women. Because men are stronger than most women, they can impose a greater dealof harm. Until fairly recently, the law has continually been on their side.
y Old English law allowed husbands as head of the family to "discipline" their wives withcanes no broader than their thumbs (the Rule of Thumb). While decrees and religiousprinciples have changed, old outlooks and falsies remain. More than half the womenslain in Canada are killed by their husbands, or boyfriends.
y Kids frequently suffer in the cross fire of vehemence amongst their parents. A chief studyof more than 900 children at battered womens lodgings found that nearby to 70 percentof the children were victims of physical abuse or neglect.
y The men most often took out their anger on the children. In around one quarter of thecases both parents maltreated the children. Only in rare instances did the mom unaidedabuse the children.
y One study declares that "wife beating consequences in more damages that requiremedical handling than rape, car accidents, and muggings combined. Each year over 1,000women are killed by their husbands. Wife abuse can take numerous forms. Physicalabuse (assault, including rape) is palpable. Countless women also agonize over emotionaland mental abuse that is just as disturbing and chilling. Abuse can originate in anyhousehold, any culture or age group.

y Domestic abuse is a very serious thing that affectseveryone involved. It cannot only affect the people beingabused, but, it can also affect neighbors, friends, andrelatives of the abuser and the abused.
y During the course of the physical violence, a lot of noise ismade and neighbors will most likely call the police andthey will charge you a large fine or worse (jail time).
y Also, if the violence gets too out of hand the abuser can
easily kill or seriously injure the victim.y Also, if the stress of the situation becomes to much for the
abused victim they can take their life or their abuser's life.
8/6/2019 Global Issues Power Point
35/55
y Domestic violence is a terrible thing because of the highchance of a person being seriously injured or killed.
y A person could not only kill their abuser but killthemselves.
y Also, it is becoming a serious epidemic. 1 out of 3 women isabused in her life time whether it by mental or physical, bya parent or a spouse.
y That means that millions of women around the world areabused each day and dont speak out
y Sri law is up held in most modern day, Asian, middleeastern, and African countries. It allows women to betreated was property and slaughtered for Misbehaving
8/6/2019 Global Issues Power Point

y Battered womens shelters and domestic violencecounseling are there to help her.
y There are fines for first and second time offenders.
y On your third try you go to jail.y You can go into the protection program.
y If you call 911 you can register a safe house for you andyour children

A Description of the Problem
Malaria is a parasitic disease that makes you
have high fevers, shaking chills, flu-like
symptoms, and anemia.
Anemia is a condition where the body does
not have enough red blood cells to sustain
itself.
8/6/2019 Global Issues Power Point
41/55
What Causes the Problem?
Malaria is caused by a bite from an infectedAnopheles mosquito.
Malaria can be passed between humans by a
parasite.
The parasites make their way to the liver,where they mature and then release the
merozoites. Then they enter the bloodstream and infect
the red blood cells.
8/6/2019 Global Issues Power Point
42/55
Who does it affect?
It mostly affects kids in southeast Africa.
It specially affects people in countries like
Angola, South Africa, and other southern
countries.
Worldwide, 300-500 million people are
infected with this deadly disease.
2 million people die each year.
8/6/2019 Global Issues Power Point
43/55
Why is it serious?
It is one of the most wide-spread diseases in
the world.
It is also in the U.S. and South America not
only in Africa.
It mostly kills kids between the ages of 4 and
16.
It is caused by mosquitos that have the
disease.
8/6/2019 Global Issues Power Point
44/55
What efforts are in place to solve the
issue?
One of the best items right now to stop Malariaare universal bed nets. Universal bed nets aregood because they cover the whole bed whenyou are sleeping. The net itself has a type of
medicine on it that will either keep the mosquitosaway or kill them if they get on it. When you areoutside walking around one of the goodmedicines are mosquito repellent cream, and
what it is , it is like off, except more strong so theywould not get near so those are two protectiveitems, for preventing malaria.
8/6/2019 Global Issues Power Point
45/55
Suggestions.
To stop Malaria from home, you can try to go
to websites that offer you to do things that
would provide money, to the countries with
malaria to stop the disease. You can send food
to the countries, and give the people energy
to provide help for themselves to. You can
play games related to malaria that every timeyou get an answer right more money goes to
the state

The real problem about girls missing school isthat they will not get a good education. Every
day they miss, they are missing an importantlesson that might help in life. They dont get tohave the experience of being in school andmaking friends. Without school there will be no
good jobs and will probably not have a goodfuture. If these girls had the choice to go toschool and learn, even though it might not befun to us, they will always choose to go.
8/6/2019 Global Issues Power Point
49/55
This problem is mainly caused by nothaving the right supplies for school. Theysay in Afghanistan that girls are of lesservalue then a donkey. This is not true. Theydo not have pencils books or may noteven have clothes. They do not respect girlenough but in the United States they do.Hopefully one day the girls will have achance to go to school like all of the girls inthe US.
8/6/2019 Global Issues Power Point
50/55
Sixty million girls lack schooling. Only 14% of
Afghan women can actually read and
write. There is virtually no way to attendschool. This problem affects most girls in
different countries.
8/6/2019 Global Issues Power Point
51/55
It is serious because the girls need
education to grow mentally and socially. It
is also needed to become successful insociety. If you dont have education you
could never become a leader or anything
in power. You would just be stuck as being
a mother, or a daughter. It is helpful allaround from math to learning how to
communicate.
8/6/2019 Global Issues Power Point
52/55
There are different websites that help you
donate money to the organizations. There
are also organizations that deal withvolunteering. Also, popular companies
have donation boxes to donate different
supplies and things like that. Also, schools
have different fundraisers like car washesand bake sales. There are many other
efforts, but these are the main ones.
8/6/2019 Global Issues Power Point
53/55
In order to help Afghan girls to learn, you candonate money to help buy supplies to buildschools and to provide school supplies. You
can donate unused school supplies,textbooks, chalkboards to write on, paper,and volunteers to help build schools. You canalso volunteer to help teach for 1 year. You
can also help build schools and libraries. If yousend any of these items, or volunteer, you canhelp them get a good education andsucceed in life.
