MUZAFFARABAD: The Azad Jammu and Kashmir Supreme Court has observed that any amendment in the region’s constitution was “not a concession to be wrested” from the government, as the court issued its advice on a presidential reference, which emerged on Sunday. The advisory opinion came in response to a reference filed by acting AJK President Chaudhry Latif Akbar under Article 46-A of the Interim Constitution Act, 1974 after the recently proscribed Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) demanded the abolition of 12 refugee seats in the legislative assembly ahead of the July 27 elections. The 12 seats are reserved for refugees from Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, who settled in mainland Pakistan after 1947. JAAC alleged that these seats were often used by mainstream Pakistani political parties to influence the formation of governments in Muzaffarabad. The presidential reference had sought answers to five key questions over the constitutional status of the refugee seats, the legislature’s competence to introduce a fundamental constitutional amendment at the present stage, the constitutional limits of the rights of assembly and association, and the state’s obligation to protect the electoral process and reject extra-constitutional demands. In the advisory opinion, dated June 6 and available with Dawn, AJK SC Chief Justice Raja Saeed Akram Khan held that the constitution of the AJK was the “supreme law” of the state and its provisions the “property of the people of Azad Jammu and Kashmir and of the whole Kashmiri people”. “The amendment of the constitution is a solemn constitutional act, not a concession to be wrested from a government under duress,” the opinion declared. “It can only be accomplished through the process the constitution itself prescribes, by an assembly possessed of the full democratic mandate of the people, after deliberation, consultation, and consensus-building,” the advisory opinion read. The court stated that the advisory opinion was being tendered after “full consideration of the constitutional provisions, the legislative and historical background of the refugee seats, the factual matrix placed before this court, and the submissions of the advocate general and the learned amicus curiae”. The court observed that the AJK government remained legally obligated to hold elections within the time stipulated by the constitution. It maintained that the constitution was not a “document to be honoured when convenient and discarded when inconvenient”. “The constitution endures because its guardians, ie, the government, the legislature, the judiciary, and ultimately the people, stand firm in its defence.” Chief Election Commissioner retired Justice Ghulam Mustafa Mughal, announcing the election schedule on June 5, had said that the elections on refugee seats had previously been conducted under judicial supervision, but after the judiciary withdrew from the process, the responsibility would now be carried out by officials of the Election Commission of Pakistan. Responding to a question about the planned JAAC protests, he said a prolonged agitation could affect the electoral process. The same day, the region’s government proscribed the JAAC, days before the group was scheduled to stage a protest. The JAAC’s latest protest call centred around the highly contentious demand to abolish the 12 refugee seats in the region’s Legislative Assembly. AJK authorities have also advised intending visitors to postpone their trips until June 20, citing security concerns ahead of the planned protests.
As Trump officials take aim at vaccine schedule, scientists encouraged by companies’ desire to continue coverage A group of insurers will continue covering routine vaccines through 2027 as the Trump administration once again takes aim at the shots and outbreaks of preventable illnesses such as measles and whooping cough lead to hospitalizations and deaths. Experts told the Guardian that the move has raised questions ahead of the November midterms, but certainly indicates that insurance companies believe vaccines are “safe and effective”.

MANILA, Philippines — As millions of students return to classrooms on Monday, the Philippine National Police (PNP) said it is “fully prepared and strategically positioned” to secure schools nationwide without compromising anti-crime and other public safety operations. In a statement on Sunday, PNP chief Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. gave parents and guardians his assurance that
O filão da menopausa – e, principalmente, da perimenopausa – bate na casa das centenas de bilhões de dólares em consultas, medicamentos, procedimentos, produtos e serviços, como eu havia apontado em meu livro: Menopausa – o momento de fazer as escolhas certas para o resto da sua vida. O problema é que, como em toda corrida ao ouro, não há somente gente bem-intencionada nesse mercado que explodiu nos últimos anos. É ótimo que tenha aumentado a conscientização sobre essa fase e a segurança de tratamentos como a terapia de reposição hormonal (TRH). Entretanto, à medida que um número crescente de mulheres se depara com informações enganosas nas redes sociais, especialistas alertam que algumas possam ser levadas a conclusões falsas, capazes de mascarar dificuldades reais de saúde subjacentes. Paula Briggs: “Vejo coisas absurdas no Instagram, como mulheres na faixa dos 30 anos sendo instruídas a exigir reposição hormonal se não conseguirem dormir ou se estiverem sofrendo com enxaquecas” Divulgação “Todo mundo acha que está na menopausa”, ironizou a médica Paula Briggs, membro da Sociedade Britânica de Menopausa, ao jornal The Guardian. “Estamos vendo mulheres cada vez mais jovens demandando terapia de reposição quando o que precisam é de contracepção hormonal, já que ainda estão férteis”, completou. De acordo com a entidade, mais de 80% das mulheres estarão na menopausa até os 54 anos – o que significa que não menstruam há 12 meses – com cerca de 5% atingindo tal marco antes dos 45 anos. Antes disso, vem a perimenopausa, que pode durar meses ou anos, período marcado por níveis hormonais flutuantes e sintomas com o potencial de afetar a qualidade de vida. Briggs afirmou que a desinformação em torno da perimenopausa é preocupante: “Vejo coisas absurdas no Instagram, como mulheres na faixa dos 30 anos sendo instruídas a exigir reposição hormonal se não conseguirem dormir ou se estiverem sofrendo com enxaquecas; ou sendo orientadas a buscar tratamento com testosterona, quando é indispensável avaliar se há indicação para o caso. As mulheres produzem sua própria testosterona ao longo da vida, mesmo as que não têm ovários, então a ideia de que todo mundo tem que usar testosterona é uma loucura”. Channa Jayasena, especialista em endocrinologia reprodutiva no Imperial College London, também expressou preocupação. “Acho que muitos médicos ignoram completamente o quão debilitantes podem ser os sintomas. No entanto, há o risco de algumas mulheres serem rotuladas incorretamente como estando na perimenopausa quando têm outros problemas de saúde”. Janice Rymer, professora de obstetrícia e ginecologia do King´s College London, concorda: “Se você está menstruando regularmente de forma natural, então não está na perimenopausa. Simples assim. Atualmente, existe uma percepção de que qualquer queixa entre os 40 e 60 anos se deve à perimenopausa ou à menopausa e que a TRH é imprescindível. A reposição é maravilhosa, mas não para quem não precisa dela”, resumiu. Ambos ressaltam que a desinformação pode levar mulheres ainda férteis a interromper o uso de contraceptivos, por acharem que não são mais necessários. Nos EUA, médicos também vêm fazendo alertas sobre o marketing agressivo de produtos e suplementos que anunciam grandes promessas sem evidências científicas. Quem está nessa faixa etária já deve ter percebido: loções, séruns e máscaras de LED que garantem rejuvenescer o rosto e o pescoço; suplementos alimentares que afirmam fazer de tudo, de melhorar o humor a aliviar as ondas de calor; aparelhos que prometem neutralizar os sintomas. Em entrevista à CNN, Nanette Santoro, professora de ginecologia e obstetrícia na Universidade do Colorado Anschutz, recomendou: “Antes de gastar dinheiro em produtos, é importante que as mulheres conversem com seus médicos sobre o que foi comprovado que ajuda, e o que pode ser prejudicial. Realmente vale a pena ser muito, muito, muito cética”. Adriane Fugh-Berman e Patricia Bencivenga, respectivamente diretora e gerente de projetos especiais no PharmedOut – organização ligada ao Centro Médico da Universidade de Georgetown cujo foco é investigar e expor as táticas de marketing da indústria farmacêutica – publicaram artigo na revista STAT no qual acusam o mercado de “vender a mentira de que as mulheres são governadas por seus hormônios”. Segundo as autoras, há uma expansão da medicalização da menopausa para a faixa dos 30 anos, sob o argumento de que os hormônios estão começando a ficar descontrolados e arruinarão sua saúde: cognitiva, física e mental. “Artigos recentes e conversas aparentemente intermináveis nas redes sociais atribuem à perimenopausa todos os sintomas possíveis associados ao estresse, à maternidade, ao esgotamento (burnout), à depressão e ao envelhecimento normal. Também enquadram essa perspectiva como uma questão feminista. Na verdade, é exatamente o oposto. O enquadramento da perimenopausa como uma longa e assustadora na montanha-russa física e emocional, causada por nossos hormônios instáveis, está sendo moldado por influenciadores e médicos que estão não apenas transformando a meia-idade em doença, mas, invariavelmente, vendendo algum produto ou serviço”, escreveram. Fugh-Berman e Bencivenga defendem que a maioria dos sintomas atribuídos à perimenopausa pode ser simplesmente decorrente do envelhecimento. Em 1994, pesquisadores holandeses compararam os sintomas na meia-idade entre homens e mulheres e descobriram que, exceto pelo suor excessivo, havia mais semelhanças do que diferenças entre os gêneros. Em 2018, cientistas coreanos encontraram resultados similares: tanto eles quanto elas apresentavam queixas como esquecimento, suor, diminuição do desejo sexual e aumento da circunferência da cintura na meia-idade. “Se aceitarmos a lista de 100 sintomas atribuídos à perimenopausa, e que essa fase começa em algum momento na faixa dos 30 anos e dura até a menopausa, na idade média de 52 anos, então aceitamos a ideia de que as mulheres são vítimas indefesas de hormônios erráticos durante a maior parte ou a totalidade de suas vidas adultas. A narrativa ajuda o faturamento dos fabricantes, manipuladores e distribuidores de medicamentos e suplementos, mas não é baseada em evidências. E alimenta o clichê misógino de que não se pode confiar nas mulheres por causa de seus hormônios”, enfatizam as autoras, lembrando que adotar um estilo de vida saudável, zelar pela saúde mental e cultivar uma rede de apoio de amigos e familiares são ferramentas fundamentais para o bem-estar feminino.

Draft treaty claims sexual and reproductive health and rights are an existential threat to the African family An African treaty that rejects longstanding international human rights obligations moved a step closer to becoming policy this week as governments across the continent met in Ghana. The draft African charter on family, sovereignty and values, seen by the Guardian, asserts that African values and culture are under attack from “foreign ideologies” and urges states to withdraw from any agreements that do not align with the principles of the charter, including the 2003 Maputo protocol, which promotes gender equality and protects the reproductive and health rights of women and girls.

The movie adaptation of Gary Owen’s acclaimed play Iphigenia in Splott, Effi o Blaenau, is released this month. Here, its director and crew explain why they relocated the film to a post-industrial mining town – and refused to make it in English The one-woman play Iphigenia in Splott was first performed in 2015. Eleven years on, Gary Owen’s reworking of Greek tragedy, transplanted to working-class Splott in Cardiff, has earned its place as a modern classic. It reimagines the mythological heroine Iphigenia as Effie, a young woman filling her days drinking vodka out of a mug in her dressing gown. The play is about poverty and social inequality, closures and cuts, services scraped to the bone by austerity. Its most recent five-star Guardian review in 2022 advised: “Everyone should see this.” One person who did was Leisa Gwenllian, a final-year drama student from north Wales. “I was on the front row with my mate,” says Gwenllian, 24, drinking mint tea in a London hotel. “I can remember thinking: wow! A Welsh woman with a strong Cardiff accent on the stage at the Lyric [in Hammersmith, London], that’s what it’s all about.” At the Oxford School of Drama, Gwenllian was mainly studying the classics alongside people with different accents and backgrounds from her own. “To see yourself on stage is really powerful.” Continue reading...
