Based on the Vulnerability Index developed in this review, an estimated 22.7 million persons in Myanmar, or 44% of the population, were found to have some form of vulnerability related to human development and/or exposure to active conflict/violence. These people experience varying combinations of p...oor housing, lack of education, poor educational attainment, lack of access to safe sanitation and improved drinking water, and direct exposure to conflict.
Shan and Ayeyarwady have the largest populations of vulnerable persons, a function of both their size and relative vulnerability in comparison to other States and Regions. Yangon and Shan show the widest variation in vulnerability across townships (in terms of the number of vulnerable persons and their level of vulnerability), followed by Mandalay, Chin and Rakhine.

Складні події останніх років в Україні накладають відбиток на всіх нас. Психологи кваліфікують їх як екстремальні, а емоційну відповідь на них називають «травмати...чним стресом». Нічого ненормального в цьому немає, адже це нормальні реакції на ненормальні події (тобто такі, що виходять за рамки звичного людського досвіду). Страждають від травматичного стресу не лише безпосередні учасники подій, а й ті, хто постійно живе в тривозі, напрузі, спостерігаючи за подіями в ЗМІ або переживаючи за близьких, які можуть бути в небезпеці. Це стосується і дітей. Навіть не розуміючи дета- лей того, що відбувається навколо, вони бачать напруженість і страх батьків, чують тривожні висловлювання. Тому, вірогідно, дітям може знадобитися допомога у відновленні рівноваги. Адже саме дорослі — чи не єдине джерело спокою для них. Ми виклали кілька порад, як поводитися в склад- них ситуаціях і навчитися розуміти себе і своїх дітей. Сподіваємося, вони стануть вам у пригоді.

Some 32% of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Ukraine suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of the conflict in the east.
Among the 2,203 respondents surveyed across Ukraine, the study also found a high prevalence of mental disorders such as depression (22%) and anxiety ...(17%), particularly among women. This has a significant effect on family and community relations, the ability to work or even do basic tasks such as walking.
Moreover, the study noted that 74% of respondents in need of psychiatric care do not receive it, mainly due to a high cost of mental healthcare and medicine.

The Central African Republic is at a major turning point in its history. The country
is just emerging from a very violent conflict, during which thousands of human lives were lost and one-third of the population was displaced. After
a three-year transition, and with the support of the internationa...l community, authorities successfully created the conditions required to conduct credible presidential and legislative
elections. Central African citizens mobilized to express their desire for peace and to break
with the cycle of past violence. Their exemplary democratic maturity ensured the electoral
process was peaceful, despite palpable tensions. The welcome given Pope Francis in Bangui in
November 2015 and visible reconciliation efforts demonstrate the population wishes to turn
the page on this conflict.
