Our Globe's Aging Population - The Demographic Revolution
(FAWCO 9/9/2014)
The world's population is now older than it has ever been which is causing an unprecedented demographic transformation towards an ageing population. The swing is occurring in all regions of all countries at various levels of development.
Safe Drinking Water and Sanitation-Fundamental Human Rights So Many Live Without
(FAWCO 9/10/2014)
With one impacting the other, water and sanitation are two distinct human rights and, as humanitarians, we should draw the extinction. A multitude of UN resolutions refer to the right to safe water and sanitation but, in many cases efforts, to provide safe water overshadow the right to sanitation.

Violence Against Children - A Major Threat To Our Global Development
