Pono nā mākaʻikaʻi kūpono e hele a kākoʻo iā Honduras, El Salvador, Dominican Republic a me Guatemala ma o ka mākaʻikaʻi. Pono nā mākaʻikaʻi kūpono e nānā pono i ke kākoʻo ʻana i nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe o ka Caribbean a me Latin America. Lilo kēia memo i ka manawa kūpono me ka hoʻomaka o ka WTTC (World Travel and Tourism Summit) kokoke e hoʻomaka ma Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Koe wale no Honduras, El Salvador, Dominican Republic a me Guatemala, nā ʻāina ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ʻĀina a me Kalipiano e hakakā nei e holomua i ka male keiki i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā ʻāina ma ʻAkia Hema, e like me ka hōʻike a UNICEF.

ʻOiai nā wahi ʻē aʻe o ka honua i hōʻemi i ka hanana o ka male keiki, "ʻaʻole kēia ka hihia ma ko mākou wahi, kahi e male ʻia ai hoʻokahi o nā wahine ʻehā ma mua o 18 mau makahiki," wahi a ke poʻo o UNICEF kūloko ʻo Maria Cristina Perceval.

Ua lilo ʻo Latin America a me ka Caribbean wale nō ka ʻāina ma ka honua kahi i emi nui ʻole ai ka male ʻana o nā keiki i loko o nā makahiki he XNUMX i hala, e like me ka hōʻike i hōʻike ʻia e ka ʻO ke keʻena kamaliʻi UN (UNICEF).

"Ke nānā nei mākou i kahi holomua maoli i nā wahi ʻē aʻe o ka honua e pale aku i nā kaikamahine mai ka male ʻana o nā keiki," i ʻōlelo ʻia ma Panama City ʻo Maria Cristina Perceval, ke poʻo o Unicef no Latin America a me ka Caribbean. "Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole kēia ka hihia ma ko mākou ʻāina, kahi e male ʻia ai hoʻokahi o nā wahine ʻehā ma mua o 18 mau makahiki."

ʻO ka hopena, ʻaʻole pōmaikaʻi kēia mau kaikamahine mai nā manawa ola like i ka wā waena a me ka lōʻihi, me ka nui o ka makaʻu o hana hoʻomāinoino, hāpai keiki, haʻalele i ke kula, me ke kāpae ʻia o ka nohona mai kā lākou mau hoa, hoʻohui ʻo Perceval.

ʻEhā mau ʻāina wale nō o ka ʻāina i pāpā i ka male ʻana o nā keiki, me Honduras, El Salvador, Dominican Republic a me Guatemala.

I Pepeluali, ua hoʻolaha ʻia kekahi hōʻike a Unicef no ka lawa ʻole o ka holomua i ka hoʻēmi ʻana i ke kiʻekiʻe hāpai keiki ʻōpio nā helu ma Latin America a me ka Caribbean: ʻoiai ʻo ka nui o nā helu hāpai ʻōpio ʻōpio i "hāʻule iki" i nā makahiki he kanakolu i hala, aia ka ʻāpana i ka helu ʻoi loa kiʻekiʻe ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa.

Ke kū nei ka huina nui o nā kaikamahine i male i ka wā kamaliʻi 12 miliona i kēlā me kēia makahiki a me ka ʻole o nā kulekele lehulehu e hoʻoponopono pono ana i ka pilikia, ʻoi aku ma mua o 150 miliona mau kaikamahine hou e male ma mua o ko lākou lā hānau 18th e 2030, loaʻa ka hōʻike.

Ma ke ao holoʻokoʻa, ma kahi o hoʻokahi o ʻeono mau kaikamahine ʻōpio (15 a 19 mau makahiki) i male ʻia i kēia manawa a i ʻole i kahi hui. ʻO ʻAmelika Komohana a me ʻAkelika Waena ka hapa nui o nā ʻōpio i mare ʻia (27 pakeneka), ukali ʻia e ka Hikina a me ʻApelika Hema (20 pākēneka) a me ka Middle East a me ʻApelika ʻĀkau (13 pākēneka). ʻO Latin America ka pae ʻehā me 11 pākēneka o ka huina o nā kaikamahine ʻōpio.

Wahi a UNICEF, pili ka male male a me nā uniona mua o ka ʻāina me ka nui o nā hāpai ʻōpio, ka lua o ka honua, a me ka hopena o ka hana kolohe, a me ka like ʻole o ke kāne.

ʻO nā mea i hui pū i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe e like me ka ʻilihune, nā loina o ka nohona kanaka, nā kuleana kāne a me nā pilina, nā manaʻoʻiʻo a me nā hemahema i nā kānāwai aupuni.

'I ka ʻāina, kaupalena ʻia ke kaulike o nā kaikamahine e ka hopena o ka noho mua ʻana o ka makuahine, ka hana ʻino a me nā manawa kūpono i kaupalena ʻia. ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke pani i ko mākou mau maka i nā pono nalowale a poina nā kuleana, no laila ke kahea wikiwiki e hoʻopau i kēia mau hana i ʻōlelo ʻia e Perceval.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

Wahi a UNICEF, pili ka male male a me nā uniona mua o ka ʻāina me ka nui o nā hāpai ʻōpio, ka lua o ka honua, a me ka hopena o ka hana kolohe, a me ka like ʻole o ke kāne.
As a result, these girls do not benefit from the same life opportunities in the medium and long term, with a higher risk of sexual violence, early pregnancies, dropping off school, in addition with the social exclusion from their peers, added Perceval.
