Older-age Parents and the AIDS Epidemic in Thailand: Changing Impacts in the Era of Antiretroviral Therapy
The purpose of this publication is to assist policymakers in addressing similar contextual environments to further understand the epidemic and its impact on elderly caregivers. The report represents one of the few research works on the impact of HIV and AIDS on the lives of persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families in the region. It serves to fill the gap in the dearth of research on the implications of the AIDS epidemic on older aged parents, in particular in the context of the increasing availability of antiretroviral therapy.

Coal mines are not only a safety management challenge but also a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. Methane release during coal mining creates unsafe working conditions in underground coal mines around the world. This Guidance is intended to provide a genuine contribution to improve mine safety practices at active underground coal mines, by supporting safer mining practices to reduce fatalities, injuries, and property losses, while encouraging the use of coal mine methane (CMM) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and utilize otherwise wasted energy resources.

Following up on this area of the UN study, UNICEF IRC has undertaken research to highlight the need for effective strategies that promote the right to ‘play safe’. This Innocenti Digest reviews research findings on the discrimination and violence experienced by children in the sports setting. It examines successful prevention strategies with a view to improving the safety of children in competitive sport as well as recreational activities. The study is prepared in partnership with international experts in the field of sports and child rights, and with representatives of the Committee on the Rights of the Child, the International Olympic Committee and various sports federations.
