Prostitution beckons India's former bar girls

The main point for closing the Mumbai’s dance bars is reducing the problem of gender roles. Gender seem be a severe problem in most developing countries, such as Mumbai, the business and entertainment capital of India. Men cannot control women or lower ranked women making a decent living. For example, when women are pity being prostitutes as being selling their bodies for earning money to support their families. We live in the 21^st century, these kind of defined gender roles cannot be accept and just ludicrous. First of all, not all the women willing work as prostitutes. Money to support their family can be a big issue for women work as prostitutes. Maybe the society didn’t give women other opportunity jobs to earn money. Supporters of closing down the bars believe that the atmosphere is conducive for men to tease girls or to book girls for prostitution. So, basically, it’s bad for men to tease girls but it is alright for men to go into brothels and rape teenage girls that are enslaved as sex workers.  This makes their logic completely contradicting each other.  Even though the dance bar owners are fighting the ban in the state’s high court because they say it’s the dancer’s right to earn a living, they are most likely fighting to keep the bar open with cash pouring in for themselves.

A UNICEF SUCCESS STORY FROM HAITI

Haiti is the victim of severe earthquake in January 2010 and has blown into hardships of post-disaster reconstruction. Clean water became as the most important element for people to survival and became expensive demand due to rareness. Clean water, environment, food, and living styles are important elements for basic healthy life. If people drink dirty water, they will get ill seriously such as dysentery and diarrhea. The assistance which set up collapsible tanks at the sites throughout Port-au-Prince from UNICEF is quite useful. Thus, drinking tanks water can meet an urgent need in Haiti that people can have a source of drinking clean water instead of waste water. However, it is important that UNICEF to ensure there was no children in Haiti who survived the earthquake died because of preventable waterborne disease.  Having clean water is a great progress to Haiti on the way of post-disaster reconstruction. The UNICEF Tap Project critical to rebuilding the wells. But one thing that they need to concern is wells will be dried in the future. More significantly, overuse groundwater will affect ecological environment and cause land subsidence. Thus, the government must find other long-term water supply plans. They should find some good water sources, build national water pipe system and then process the supply of running water.

Fat, pregnant or both?

Children are getting obese from their mother during pregnancy, about five in ten pregnant women are. This fact is worrisome but at this moment I never really consider obesity as a “serious disease.”It’s not like one day you wake up and you find that you’re obese. It’s a lifestyle habit and something that totally can preventable and reversible. That mean pregnant women need more advice in this area. Of course, this world growing really fast because of new technologies that are taken advantage of. Pregnant woman was lacking advice how many calories and how long should exercises in a day. However, once a woman is pregnant, she should not encourage to diet to lose weight as harm her health or the baby. So she should follow a balance meal with a balance physically active. Being obese is a huge concern because it can be linked with many other diseases. Also the money we spend on healthcare will be high; most of it will be chronic care instead of acute care. Pregnant women are expect to eat balance and even those who want to stay healthy can’t because lack of guidance. It needs to be more promote or advice, the society is encouraging and/or forcing people to make wrong lifestyle choices. As it continues, the society will in a downhill spiral and we can't get out.
