  • Rwandan Media To Sensitise Children Against Covid-19 #rwanda #RwOT

    There seems a high level of laxity in the protection of children against contracting the deadly Covid-19 disease that is currently ravaging the globe.

    Rwanda has pooled Journalists to deliberate on possible and effective ways of reporting on Covid-19 and its impact on children in the country.

    Jean Bosco Gasherebuka the WHO Rwanda Health Information Officer commends local media for closely working with the relevant institutions in communicating about Covid-19.

    “Rwanda has implemented all measures against Covid-19 and the media has been instrumental in sensitising the public,” Gasherebuka said on Thursday during a virtual conference.

    Children in Rwanda are no exception as they are mostly social and interact closely but this contact among children could trigger spread of the virus.

    Experts worry that the more people children interact with, and the longer that interaction, the higher the risk of Covid-19 spread.

    Rwandan media may have to actively sensitise, disseminate information that can educate children as the country approaches school re-opening for the first term.

    While children may be spending time with other people as they return to school settings, experts say it is important to remember that exposure to additional children and adults outside of daycare or school should be managed to decrease risk.

    Experts are recommending that children embrace virtual interaction more as opposed to physical contact.

    Children at lower risk of contracting covid-19 are those that connect virtually (via phone calls and video chats).

    Those at Medium risk include; Children maintain a distance of 6 feet from each other during the playdates. Playdates should be held outdoors, if possible. Indoor spaces are more risky than outdoor space where it might be harder to keep children apart and there is less ventilation.

    Children at Highest risk of contracting Covid-19 include those engaged with frequent indoor playdates with multiple friends or families who are not practicing everyday preventive measures. Also Children that do not maintain a distance of 6 feet from each other are at highest risk of contamination.

  • Police in fresh campaign on COVID-19 prevention practices #rwanda #RwOT

    Since Monday, August 10, RNP has deployed its vehicles and motorcycles mounted with loud speakers to convey the Dos and Don’ts designed to prevent further spread of COVID-19.

    Vehicles and motorcycles are trekking through markets, trading centres, residential areas and streets spreading safety message to further influence behavioural change and positive actions in line with the government directives and other instructions meant to curb the spread of the pandemic.

    RNP spokesperson, CP John Bosco Kabera said that the campaign is in line with the current situation when almost all businesses have resumed, but some of them don’t follow the safety instructions in provision of their services.

    “The government put much effort in containing the virus and created a safe atmosphere for most of the services to resume. However, we can’t lean back; the virus is still in our midst and transmitted by the people, who breach the recommended safety behaviours and practices. We are still in a fragile period when individual hygiene and safety choices our sole protection against COVID-19,” CP Kabera said.

    He observed that there are some individuals and business owners, whose actions still pose a threat to safety, and which can derail the national efforts to fight the pandemic.

    “The message is clear; wear a facemask properly covering your mouth and nose at all times you leave your home; wash or sanitize your hands as many times as possible; maintain social distancing… at least one metre between you and another person; there are also safety instructions when in the vehicle or taxi-moto, which must be adhered to.”

    Social distancing, washing hands before boarding and wearing facemask are also compulsory in public service vehicles.

    For those using motos, sanitizing hands, having own fabrics to be worn inside a helmet and paying transport fares using cashless services are the prerequisite.
    The campaign also emphasizes the 15 and 30 maximum numbers for civil and religious marriage, respectively.

    The directives also provide not more than 30 people for the burial ceremony.
    Equally, religious services are only allowed after inspection and upon approval by local leaders, and continuously adhering to safety guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health; businesses are encouraged to embrace cashless payment systems.

    The general public are urged to do away with the culture of shaking hands and hugging; sports activities are done individually and sports businesses prohibited; entertainment, bars, parties and other social gatherings in homes and public places as well as betting businesses are not allowed.

    CP Kabera said: “We are still seeing people undermining these safety guidelines, including movements beyond 9PM. As usual, the RNP way of policing is through awareness and education for the people to understand what is required of them; enforcement follows smoothly, as the public takes ownership of the process.
    We believe that when people are informed they also make informed and appropriate decisions, and this is the basis of this campaign.”

    “This is not the time to lean back and relax, but rather a period to take utmost individual responsibility to strengthen prevention actions against COVID-19 in all aspects as we go about our errands.”

    The public are urged to report any violations on 112 (emergency toll-free line) and 0788311155 (WhatsApp) as well as all other RNP known communication channels including social media platforms. RNP has deployed its vehicles and motorcycles mounted with loud speakers to convey the Dos and Don’ts designed to prevent further spread of COVID-19.

  • Joint Letter Sent to the UN Secretary-General to Stop Human Rights Violations and Religious Oppression in South Korea #rwanda #RwOT

    The joint letter contained a request for recommendations to stop discrimination against Shincheonji Church, a new Christian denomination headquartered in South Korea, and a UN ECOSOC-affiliated organization named Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL).

    The representative of this letter, the director and founder of FREE WATCH AFGHANISTAN, Mobeenullah Aimaq, said that he agreed with the UN’s concern for the persecution of minorities and vulnerable groups as well as human rights violations that continue to occur in the pretext of fighting the coronavirus. To solve this problem, he proposed a joint letter to young people around the world to appeal to the international community.

    He strongly urged that the Korean Government should knock off the prosecution of Shincheonji Church and HWPL in South Korea. “Prosecuting Shincheonji Church and HWPL should be immediately stopped so that the international reputation of the government, known as a proponent of peace in the globe, will be saved,” he added.

    In the letter, they reported the several acts of unfair discrimination and oppression of the Korean government and the media against these organizations by citing the concerns of UN Secretary-General regarding “disproportionate effects on certain communities, the rise of hate speech, and the targeting of vulnerable groups”.

    According to the report, there have been over 5,500 instances of human rights abuses of members of the Shincheonji Church during this period of the ongoing pandemic. Among the cases include two female members’ death in suspicious circumstances. Many of these victims are promising young people who are now facing increased discrimination in workplaces and schools, violence at home, and even forced deprogramming.

    The letter highlights that the members of Shincheonji Church are also victims who were unfortunately infected with the virus despite following the government’s guidelines related to the pandemic.

    Furthermore, the unprecedented custody investigation against 89-years-old Chairman Man Hee Lee of Shincheonji Church and HWPL was recently determined. The charters of these two groups have been revoked by the government and they have been subject to rigorous tax investigations. Those in leadership positions within the organizations also have been taken into custody for questioning.

    In the Korea Times column titled “Can unpopular sect expect justice?”, Michael Breen, CEO of Insight Communications, referred the current investigation into Shincheonji Church as a “witch-hunt” by saying that Shincheonji is a safe target for politicians and others who comment in public since it is unpopular.

    “I’m sitting in Kigali Rwanda where had wars and genocide. And Rwanda has come out to be a country that now is sharing with the rest of the world about peace. we have learned how to have peace makers or peace forces worldwide. As a person, I would you like to contribute to initiative and effort of persuading the government of South Korea, not to persecute HWPL, or the Shincheonji Church.” Said Natty Dread, the reggae artist from Rwanda.

    In the joint letter, they urged that cases of human rights, social and religious repression, such as the ones occurring in South Korea, must be put to an end in order to build “more effective and inclusive solutions for the emergency of today and the recovery for tomorrow.”
