This years International Day for Disaster Reduction, 8 October, arrives in the wake of a series of earthquakes, cyclones and hurricanes that have highlighted the urgent need to reduce disaster risk. The following story marks the occasion. ALBAY PROVINCE, Philippines, 7 October 2008 At Banadero Elementary School, the clanging of the alarm bell echoes around the schoolyard. Children file out of their classrooms in orderly columns to pre-arranged assembly points. All the pupils, even the youngest, have the calm composure that comes from practice, because they have been through this drill before. Towering above their tin-roofed school is the perfectly formed cone of the Mount Mayon volcano; a steady plume of steam and smoke coming from its crater. With such an imposing neighbour, which has a history of violent eruptions, practice evacuation drills are a part of school life. Due to these drills we are not anymore afraid, because we already know what to do in times of calamities, said the Banadero schools principal, Paulina Vibal.

CEBU, Philippines, 15 December 2008 In a poor shanty in the Central Philippines city of Cebu, a tiny internet café offers broadband connectivity with the outside world. In a place that lacks running water, the opportunities presented by the existence of the internet are boundless. But along with these opportunities are the inherent risks posed by the net. A growing number of youths in the Philippines are being drawn into a dangerous world of sexual exploitation by foreigners they meet online. Recognising the harm being inflicted on so many teenagers, UNICEF is supporting initiatives around the Philippines to deal with the problem. A number of internet cafés have agreed to remove their private booths after one of these initiatives put pressure on them to do so. UNICEF is also promoting a charter which lays down a code of conduct for internet cafes to follow to make them safer for children. To read the full story, visit: www.unicef.org

23 February, 2010 - At the ringing of the bell, staff, students and their parents at the San Jose Elementary School know exactly what to do. They have practiced this drill before and know that in this disaster-prone corner of the Philippines, it is an exercise that could one day save lives. For behind this school, shrouded in mist and steam, is the Mount Mayon volcano a permanent reminder of potential danger. Supported by UNICEF, the local non-governmental organization TABI organizes a number of initiatives in schools in Albay province. The focus of TABIs work with the local community is self-reliance, knowing that in times of emergency they may only have each other for support. These programmes and investments in education have proved their worth in building resilience in the community and shaping a new generation of leaders for a more sustainable future.

Charley Boorman visited a project in Manila in the Philippines during his By Any Means 2 adventure to see the work that UNICEF and its partners are doing to reach out to some of the hundreds of thousands of street children in the country. "The thing you notice most is the number of children living on the street. They say that something like 250000 children sleep rough in the city," said Charley. As part of the project, children learn life skills through games and films. "Without education, these children will spend the rest of their lives begging, hustling or involved in prostitution. But by educating them at least they stand a chance of getting off the streets." Read more about the project visit in Manila: www.unicef.org.uk

www.unicef.org NEW YORK, USA, 4 March 2010 A UNICEF-organized event in New York marked the 15th anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action. Adopted at the Fourth World Conference on Women in 1995, the Beijing Platform is the world's most comprehensive framework for achieving gender equality. Donnady Coquila Lao, a youth advocate from the Philippines, noted that gains in gender equality had fallen short of the expectations that were set at the adoption of the Beijing Platform. "Its very sad to know that children are not aware of gender equality," she said. "It is very disappointing." At the close of the discussion, Ms. Lao was asked to identify one thing that she thought would make a difference in the fight for gender equality. She suggested celebrating an international Day of the Girl. Then, all girls will realize how important they are, she said.

This is the VOA Special English Development Report, from voaspecialenglish.com UNICEF is appealing for more than one billion dollars in aid for women and children around the world. The United Nations Children's Fund has released its "Humanitarian Action Report" for two thousand ten. The report lists twenty-eight countries and territories with some of the world's most pressing crises affecting women and children. Haiti was considered to be in crisis long before the earthquake in January. The deputy executive director of UNICEF, Hilde Johnson, says the quake has only made the need for aid more immediate. But she says children all over the world have the right to the same assistance. The "Humanitarian Action Report" discusses several issues that UNICEF says increasingly threaten the basic rights of women and children. It says climate change has caused droughts and food insecurity in many areas. High food prices and the global financial crisis of two thousand eight-two thousand nine have only added to poverty and malnutrition. And armed conflict continues to threaten the lives of millions. Hilde Johnson says children are always the most affected by conflicts and disasters. They face an increased risk of abuse, including sexual violence and other serious rights violations. UNICEF deals with about two hundred emergencies around the world every year. The greatest need last year was in sub-Saharan Africa. The report says drought, food insecurity and civil unrest affected about <b>...</b>
