Abstract: Health and education of the girls is key to achievement of gender equity and general development of a nation. Poor Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) is believed to lower participation of the girls in school activities as a result of anxiety and negative cultural beliefs associated with it. In India, about 40% of the girls would stay away from school during menstruation largely due to the nature of absorbent used. In Kenya, local media had reported death associated with anxiety due to menstrual hygiene management. Mbita Sub County has 33 public secondary.....

Abstract: School and class attendance for the girl child does present a challenge to the schools and government due to absenteeism occasioned by menstrual cycle. The challenge is encapsulated in the Ministry of Education data which indicate that a girl on average absents herself from school for four days in 28 days (month) and loses 13 learning days, equivalent to two weeks of learning every school term. In an academic year (nine months) a girl loses 39 learning days equivalent to six weeks of learning time. Within the four years of high school a girl can lose 156 learning days......

Abstract: Ethics is needed in any field of activity, be it dealing with People, Businesses, Employers, Customers, Legal matters, Social Systems and Environmental issues. Ethics defines whether the procedures followed are right or wrong. Certain codes are set, be it any society where humans / procedures are involved. The ultimate word is accountability. Efforts have been made in this paper to present the meaning of the word 'ethics' in certain spheres of activity. Even religion has a code of ethics. Almost all religions respect and also expect certain behaviours from their believers! Amidst dilemmas, decisions need to be taken.

Abstract: Persistent challenges to make education accessible to all by 2030 is a formidable task. To deliver on SDG 4 {Sustainable Development Goals} goals, continuous global commitment to ensure equitable education for all is the need of the hour against economic constraints, coupled with learning outcomes and alarming dropout rates echoing throughout marginalized regions. Against this back drop, much is to be seen how the low levels of information and communication technology skills could offer universal and continuous connectivity! Gro Harlem Brundtland's "....

Abstract: This article aims to present the foundations of the ethics of alterity, by Emmanuel Lévinas, and the ethics of liberation, by Enrique Dussel, highlighting their basic elements and the common features of the ethical thought of these two authors. Furthermore, it intends to link both conceptions of ethics with the idea of the subject of social injustice, that is, all those who suffer different forms of exploitation, domination and exclusion, showing how the subject of social injustice must be understood as the privileged recipient of ethical action.....

Abstract: The crumbling of the Berlin Wall, the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe, and the disintegration of the Soviet Union have to a great extent motivated opposition African leaders to push for democracy on the continent. They had become tired of military rule and inept civilian governments that had already failed the masses. One-party systems and authoritarian governments have been the mode of governance since independence. Thus, the quest of progressive African leaders to hunger for democracy and the ideal system of governance it offered was very appealing. Unfortunately, defining democracy is not as straightforward as it appears, especially as it relates to African countries. This leads to two very important questions as suggested by (Ottaway, 1997...

Abstract: The concept of regional integration is currently presented as a potential solution to the numerous socio-economic challenges facing African countries, particularly those within the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). However, the mechanisms established to facilitate this integration have a number of governance limitations, the majority of which are linked to the inherent weaknesses of the member states' economies and the lack of human and financial resources within the integration organization and the member states. In light...
