Food and Nutrition Justice: How to Make it More Newsworthy?

Growing corporatisation and commercialisation of the mass media in India and the world have resulted in facts and issues relating to food and nutrition justice being pushed to the fringes. In an environment where news?gathering and gatekeeping processes result in a continuous tussle for prominence and stories have to be delivered under short deadlines, articles are measured against values such as currency, immediacy and impact on specific population segments. If complex and nuanced issues and facts on food and nutrition are to be highlighted, it would require consistent efforts on the part of advocacy groups to inform and sensitise media practitioners. This article explores how stories on food security and nutrition justice can be made more newsworthy and how opportunities can be optimised to bring greater prominence to reports and analytical articles on these subjects. It also elaborates on conflicts and discourses within the Indian media and civil society by critically examining reportage on these issues, and suggests ways in which to engage with the media

Estudio sobre las barreras que limitan el acceso de niños y niñas indígenas a servicios de protección en relación con todo tipo de violencia

Plantea que las escuelas, centros de salud y programas sociales no actúan como adecuados canales de detección, transmisión de información y alerta ante casos de violencia y situaciones de riesgo de los niños y adolescentes, ni ante la necesidad de actuar de modo urgente. Existen numerosos obstáculos culturales e institucionales que pesan en el posible usuario de los servicios de protección y que terminan desviándolo de la ruta: umbrales muy altos de tolerancia familiar a la violencia; discriminación por género, que hace de la niña rural una víctima con menos agencia; prestigio de las conciliaciones como mecanismo resolutor, lo que termina con la negociación de los derechos humanos, sobre todo de las mujeres y niñas rurales; y temor al agresor y las consecuencias de la denuncia, dado que no existe respaldo institucional para esta iniciativa. Del mismo modo, sostiene que los prestadores de servicios, sobre todo los operadores de justicia, proyectan una imagen que genera desconfianza entre los pobladores de zonas rurales. Se teme al trato discriminatorio; a la inseguridad por el uso del idioma quechua; a la incertidumbre respecto de la homogeneidad de las resoluciones; así como a otros elementos: corrupción, lentitud y negligencia
