Activity 2: Gathering information
2.1. Identify 3 current human rights violations to living in a safe and healthy way
in South Africa.
(3x1=3)

Three current human rights violations to living safely and healthily in South Africa are:

Gender-Based Violence (GBV): South Africa faces a pervasive problem of gender-based violence, including domestic violence, sexual assault, and femicide. Women and girls are particularly vulnerable to these violations, which have severe physical, psychological, and social consequences. GBV undermines the right to live free from violence and poses a significant barrier to a safe and healthy life for many in South Africa.

Access to Healthcare: Despite constitutional guarantees of the right to healthcare, South Africa faces challenges in ensuring equal and adequate access to healthcare services. Limited resources, unequal distribution of healthcare facilities, and socioeconomic disparities contribute to barriers to accessing quality healthcare, particularly for marginalized communities. The lack of accessible healthcare undermines the right to health and hinders individuals' ability to live a safe and healthy life.

Lack of Adequate Housing: Many South Africans face inadequate housing conditions, including informal settlements, shacks, and overcrowded living spaces. Lack of access to adequate housing violates the right to live in a safe and healthy environment. Inadequate housing exacerbates health risks, such as diseases, poor sanitation, and limited access to clean water and basic amenities. This contributes to the cycle of poverty and compromises individuals' well-being.

These violations highlight the need for concerted efforts by the South African government, civil society organizations, and international partners to address gender-based violence, improve healthcare accessibility, and ensure adequate housing for all citizens. Upholding these human rights is crucial for creating a society where individuals can live in safety and enjoy their health.

TWO PARTS:
1. of the MSW generated in 2017, 61 million tonnes was recycled and 24 million tonnes was composted. what percentage of the total MSW generated was either recycled or composed?

2. a further 31 million tonnes of MSW was combusted for energy recovery. what percentage of MSW actually went to landfill in 2017?

Label colonies and settler colonies of the following states: Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Japan. Also include major resources that were gained from each colony. Next, label places that experienced economic imperialism (weren’t colonized but were controlled economically by other countries). Finally, label and describe at least 4 examples of anti-imperial resistance (one from India, one from China, one from somewhere in Africa, and one from the Americas). Hint: use your objectives to help you.

A computer has generated a gender-neutral face for a video game character. How would adding an angry expression affect people’s perception of the face’s gender?
Anger would appear as feminine if subtle.
Anger would make the face appear male.
Anger would not affect perception of gender.
Anger would make the face appear female.
