International Day for the Abolition of Slavery - Innovative Financial Advisors Pvt. Ltd.

I believe this Government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved -- I do not expect the house to fall -- but I do expect it will cease to be divided. - June 1858, Abraham Lincoln

There are approximately 21 million people in this world who are trapped in slavery it includes men, women and children. It has been more than 200 hundred years since slavery was banned in countries in Europe but it was Ashoka the great who in 3rd Century BC abolished slavery in India. However, in modern time, Spain enacted the first European law abolishing colonial slavery in 1542 and became the first country to abolish slavery. 

Years have gone by and slavery has evolved in different ways. While few traditional ways have still been there throughout these years, there have been some new ones that have come up. Nowadays, the focus have been laid on the contemporary forms of slavery like human trafficking, child labour, sexual exploitation, forced marriage and forced recruitment of children for armed conflicts. 

Some of the forms of slavery that prevails in this world are usually related to most vulnerable group in our societies. There has been a long-standing discrimination against the most vulnerable groups in societies. Most of them are from the low caste groups, tribal minorities and indigenous people of any country. Other forms of exploitation include bonded labourers, child labourers, migrant workers, people who work in domestic servitude, forced prostitution etc. 

On December 2nd, 1949, the General Assembly of the United Nations approved the convention for suppression of the traffic in persons and of the exploitation of the prostitution of others. The International Day for the Abolition of Slavery became an annual event since December 2nd 1986. This is day observed as an opportunity for people to share their views on the negative impacts of slavery that the modern era has gone through. Governments are urged upon to work towards eradication of slavery. Innovative Financial Advisors Pvt. Ltd. believes that without the help of the local people slavery cannot be eradicated completely. Therefore, Innovative Financial Advisors Pvt. Ltd. develops a robust mechanism that involves local communities and other stakeholders to implement any project countering slavery and empowering marginalized groups. 

Innovative Financial Advisors Pvt. Ltd. designs and mobilizes resources for projects that help restore human rights of men, women and children. The organization also urges people to join hands and make this world slavery free.

World Polio Day - Innovative Financial Advisors Pvt. Ltd.

Innovative Financial Advisors Pvt. Ltd- Jonas Salk, the person along with his team was responsible to develop a vaccine against poliomyelitis, it is in his honour the Rotary International celebrate 24th October as World Polio Day. Polio has been reduced by 99%. The establishment of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) in 1988 was done due to widespread use of the oral poliovirus and use of inactivated poliovirus vaccine, developed by Albert Sabin. However, three countries still continue in transmission of indigenous wild poliovirus which are Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The WHO Assembly declared in April 2012, that the completion of polio eradication a programmatic emergency for global public health.

Pakistan is one of the three countries where polio is yet to be eradicated. In Pakistan many have started viewing Polio vaccination camps with suspicion after CIA attempted use of a fake vaccination program in 2011 to collect DNA samples from residents of Osama bin Laden's compound to verify the al Qaeda leader's presence there. Taliban commanders have opposed to polio vaccinations and have banned them in the region as long as US continues its campaign of drone strikes in the region.

After number of cases that emerged last year, Pakistan have stepped up its eradication efforts. 90% of the children that are paralyzed by polio in 2013 come from regions in which there is problem of accessibility. With Air fare getting cheaper it's difficult to contain the virus and no country is safe. A Pakistani citizen who leaves Karachi with a bad cold may never know that in few hours he can make someone in Dubai, Mumbai, or Beijing infect with polio.  This is the main reason why every country around the world wants Pakistan and other polio endemic countries to eradicate polio. All the efforts and financial resources will be in jeopardy if all countries including Pakistan are not declared polio free.

Innovative Financial Advisors Pvt. Ltd. is proud that India is no longer a polio-endemic country since 2012 that is unprecedented progress for a country which in 2009 accounted for nearly half of the world's polio cases. On February 25th 2012, the World Health Organization struck of the name of the country from polio-endemic countries' list. India has not reported any case of polio since the last case of a two year old was paralyzed by polio in Howrah district of West Bengal.

Innovative Financial Advisors Pvt. Ltd. incorporates polio vaccination camps in social development projects related to health sector on which its efficient sector specific workforce research and develop innovative proposals that is implemented by NGOs across India. Innovative Financial Advisors Pvt. Ltd. take special concern on issues related to health sector.

Health Sector in India - Strategies incorporated by Innovative Financial Advisors Pvt.ltd

Healthcare is an essential public good and is a key issue in determining public health of the population within a society. Public health helps in determining the policies that will be implemented for cultural understanding of ill health and well being, extent of socio-economic disparities, reach of health services and quality and costs of care. Healthcare doesn't mean medical care only but it also covers all aspects of pro preventive care which cannot be only limited to public expenditure.

Today, it is well known fact that there is a disparity in rural and urban health indicators and there is disparity among different states as well. In the rural areas there is lack of provision for social sector services and children growing up in rural areas face a lot of challenges that is compounded by wide practice of female foeticide of daughters. The rich class doesn't suffer as they can afford and have access to better healthcare services but IMR, MMR and malnutrition is high among the poorest class. Large difference also exists among districts within a state, with one district performing and the other lagging behind.

Government has put in efforts to control and prevent deadly diseases in India, however we have not been doing as good as China. Having a mixed record of development in health sector in India, the government's efforts in R&D is minimal. The country needs to put in more expenditure both private and public to be devoted to infectious diseases. The country has the distinction of elimination or control of small pox, guinea worm diseases and polio. However, there remains a huge unfinished burden of preventing and controlling or eliminating major communicable diseases and in bringing down the risk of deaths in maternal and peri-natal conditions. There is a worldwide resurgence of Tuberculosis including India. Malaria has not been eradicated due to emergence of new problems and has been plagued by recrudescence. India has been working efficiently in reducing the number of HIV infected and AIDS patients.

Some of the Government initiatives in healthcare in India are Central Government Health Scheme, Indira Gandhi Matritva Sahyog Yojana, Integrated Child Development Services, Janani Suraksha Yojana, Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana, Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program, Sabla or Rajiv Gandhi Scheme for Empowerment of Adolescent Girls etc.
