- IPS Inter Press Service - Politics
- With democratic elections a fact of life across Africa, the continent now faces a different challenge at the polls: ensuring that women have equal opportunities when running for office, representing their constituents, and casting ballots for future leaders. The Inter-Parliamentary Union notes that women hold an average of just 17.5 percent of legislative seats in sub-Saharan Africa -- a far cry from the 30 percent believed necessary for them to have real influence in parliaments, and further still from the 50 percent that would signal parity had finally been attained. Here, we examine obstacles to women's participation in legislative politics. We also analyse how women -- and men -- are dealing with the problems, so that these difficulties can be relegated to the history books. - News rss feeds

- IPS Inter Press Service - U.S. Elections 2004 - Superpower at the Polls
- As predicted, the 2004 US election is reduced to a handful of "battleground states where" just hundreds of voters could decide the day and whether George W Bush or John Kerry is named president on Nov 2. The tight race raises the spectre of more "dirty tricks" of the kind that plagued Florida in 2000, and both the parties and civil society are mustering legal experts and activists like never before to monitor the polls. Jobs and health care aside, it comes down to the " war on terror." 'Keep trusting me' says Bush. 'I'd do it differently,' replies Kerry. - News rss feeds

- As time passes since Asia's killer tsunami wiped out close to 290,000 people from Sumatra to Somalia, communities continue their efforts to rebuild their lives. The tsunami struck on Dec. 26, 2004, the day after Christmas. U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, said it was an ''unprecedented global catastrophe'' that required an ''unprecedented global response''. And the world responded.

- IPS Inter Press Service - Like Mushrooms
- At first it was the United States. Then came Russia, China, Great Britain and France. Everyone wanted their own atomic bombs. While Israel quietly nurtured its nuclear programme, South Asian neighbours and rivals India and Pakistan joined the global nuclear club with a bang. North Korea claims to have a nuclear arsenal. Weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear bombs, were the official reason behind the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, though none have been found. And now all eyes are on Iran, which according to the governments of nations that already have these bombs, is hiding this killer science behind the doors of its nuclear energy industry. One truth underlies it all: there are enough nuclear weapons to destroy planet Earth several times over. - News rss feeds

- IPS Inter Press Service - Women: Leading the Way
- It has become increasingly obvious that a future without poverty, hunger,AIDS and illiteracy depends on the empowerment of women -- especially in developing regions where they produce most of the food but own almost none of the land, and many women lack even basic human rights. Ten years after governments promised equality -- and ten years before a key deadline to lift at least half the world's poorest people out of misery - - women and men together are asking what must be done to make the voices of this silenced majority finally heard. - News rss feeds
