WHO Rilis Data Turunnya Akses Obat HIV di Tengah Krisis COVID-19
Warnabiru.com - Pandemi COVID-19 sekarang mengancam akses perawatan HIV / AIDS, karena negara-negara, termasuk Indonesia, berfokus pada penanggulangan penyakit pernapasan yang sangat menular.
Organisasi Kesehatan Dunia (WHO), mengutip survei terakhirnya, mengatakan pada hari Jumat (11/7) bahwa lebih dari sepertiga negara di dunia mengatakan mereka sekarang berisiko kehabisan obat AIDS karena gangguan pasokan yang disebabkan oleh Krisis COVID-19. Survei menemukan bahwa kegagalan pemasok untuk memberikan obat antiretroviral (ARV) tepat waktu dan penutupan layanan transportasi darat dan udara, ditambah dengan akses terbatas ke layanan kesehatan di negara-negara sebagai akibat pandemi.
“Dua puluh empat negara melaporkan memiliki stok ARV yang sangat rendah atau gangguan dalam pasokan obat-obatan yang menyelamatkan jiwa ini,” kata WHO dalam siaran pers.
Sebelum mengalami kekurangan, perkiraan WHO pada tahun 2019 menemukan bahwa sekitar 8,3 juta orang di 24 negara telah mengandalkan ARV - yang tidak hanya penting dalam mempertahankan dan meningkatkan kualitas hidup orang dengan HIV tetapi juga dapat membantu menghentikan penyebaran dari infeksi kepada orang lain.
Survei baru-baru ini, dilakukan sebelum forum global AIDS, menemukan bahwa 73 negara telah memperingatkan bahwa mereka berisiko kehabisan ARV sebagai hasil dari pandemi COVID-19.

So here is my very first analyse of gendered representations in the very first episode of Doctor Who (2005).
All of these observations are going to be translated into figures so as to make numerical comparisons from episode to episode, from screenwriter to screenwriter and from showrunner to showrunner...
Bechdel test: passed thanks to the repeated exchanges between Rose and Jackie.
Reverse Bechdel test: just barely! A few lines between Nine and fake Mickey.
Speaking characters: 5 males (Nine, Mickey, fake Mickey, Clive, his son) and 3 females (Rose, Jackie and Clive's wife).
Baddies: non gendered blobby "Nestene Consciousness". Fake Mickey. Apart from those coming out of the bridal store and a little girl one, the dummies are overwhelmingly male.
Solving the plot: Rose guesses that the transmitter is the London eye.
Characters saving someone / being saved:
> Rose is saved from dummies by the Doctor in the basement;
> Again with the plastic arm in her apartment;
> Mickey is held hostage by the Nestene Consciousness;
> Everyone in the mall (but particular focus on Jackie) is threatened by the dummy invasion;
> Rose saves the Doctor (and Mickey) in the final battle.
Characters dying:
> "Wilson" -that we never met- is said to be dead from the get go;
> Clive is shot by a dummy and doesn't do anything to defend himself;
> The non-gendered Nestene Consciousness is killed by Rose when she pours the antiplastic on it.
Characters mentioning possible sacrifice:
> The Doctor, in the beginning, saying that he might die while keeping the dummies at bay;
> The Doctor in the end battle, telling Rose again to run for her life.
Character subjected to violence:
> The Doctor and Rose are attacked by the plastic arm;
> Rose pokes the Doctor with the plastic arm;
> Mickey is physically restrained ("eaten") by the wheelie bin;
> The Doctor is restrained by the dummies;
> Everyone in the mall is threatened by the dummies which are shooting everywhere.
Characters using violence:
> The Doctor removes the dummy's plastic arm;
> The Doctor blows up the shop;
> The Doctor hits fake Mickey with a champagne cork;
> The Doctor puts out fake Mickey's head;
> Rose and the Doctor fight during the end battle.
Characters making themselves useful, in a peaceful way:
> Rose researches the Doctor online and goes to talk to Clive;
> Rose makes the customers go out of the restaurant.
Characters being deceived:
> Rose can't tell that Mickey has been replaced by fake Mickey;
> The Doctor didn't tell Rose that Mickey might still be alive.
Characters arguing / bossing each other around:
> Rose and Jackie bickering about getting compensation, about the cat flap, about her getting home before the dummy invasion;
> Rose gets the Doctor inside of her home;
> Rose demanding information from the Doctor;
> Rose and the Doctor arguing about him forgetting about Mickey;
> Rose calling Mickey "this stupid lump".
Characters showing weakness:
> Rose is scared in the basement, but still advancing to see what's up;
> Rose crying in the Tardis, asking if Mickey's dead;
> In the mall, Clive's son and wife are terrified, and so is Jackie;
> Mickey is terrified during the battle against the Nestene Consciousness, telling Rose to "leave him!" when she goes to help the Doctor;
> Afterwards, Mickey is still afraid of the Doctor: "He's an alien, he's a thing!";
> All along, Jackie is showed as quite shallow.
Characters displaying strength:
> Rose demanding explanations from the Doctor and bickering with him;
> The Doctor addressing forcefully the Nestene Consciousness;
> Rose saving them all during the battle.
Romance / sexual advances:
> Display of Rose and Mickey's loving relationship (having lunch together, gently bickering, being worried for each other...);
> Jackie coming on the Doctor ("Anything could happen..." "No.").
Body-type:
> All seem to enter the current norm, no obvious "Hollywood" type (apart from the Doctor maybe? Or is it just me?)(and the dummies?).
Other gendered references:
> Rose's entirely pink bedroom and pink sweater;
> Mickey proposes to take Rose to the pub: "Is there a match on?" There is.
> Rose agrees for coffee but only if Mickey actually washes the mug, not like last time.
> Clive's wife surprised that a woman came to see him about the Doctor: "She? She read the website about the Doctor? She's a she?"
> When talking about plastic things getting awry, Rose suggests breast implants.
> Rose is shocked that the Doctor didn't mention Mickey might still be alive. He answers: "Can we keep the domestics outside?"
> Maybe also: the Doctor taking Rose's hand? The Doctor receptioning Rose after her "jumping with rope" move?
Just re-watched the very first episode of Doctor Who (2005) with my #DataWho grid to take notes. I had forgotten how funny Nine was. He really always will be "my" Doctor. :)
So, concerning my gender bias in Doctor Who project (watching all of the 2005 series to gather data on sexism in Doctor Who to settle the "Davies vs. Moffat, who's the more sexist?" debate) (I'm tagging it #DataWho for housekeeping purposes), I've added all of your suggestions and skimmed tvtropes (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DoubleStandard) to get some more ideas... So now my list of things to look out for is huge!
I'm still taking suggestions so please tell me if you think of something to add!
I'm going to make myself a grid to fill in when watching the episodes. Then I will post what I found for each episode, so that you can argue with me on what I counted for each item. I'll do recaps per season (can't wait to find out how many times Rose get rescued in season 1...). Finally, I will make a huge spreadsheet gathering all the data, so that we can see if there are any tendencies showing throughout the series and if there are real differences between showrunners or writers...
I think it's going to take me the whole summer! :)
Click on the "Read more" to see my list of items.
For each item I will differentiate between male and female characters.
In the first place, I will be noting the circumstances for each item witnessed in each episode to add context to the figures and allow you to argue with me.
Then I will propose numerical data based on what was analysed for each episode.
So, here is my current list:
* Episode passing the Bechdel test / the reverse Bechdel test
* Number of speaking / named characters
* Baddies
* Character solving the plot
* Character saving someone else
* Character “in distress”
* Character dying (special mention if sacrificing her/himself)
* Character’s bodily autonomy being violated against their will
* Character subjected violence (special mention if tortured)
* Character using violence (special mention if on children)
* Character suggesting / applying a non-aggressive, peaceful approach
* Character making her/himself useful
* Character choosing to stay neutral in a conflict
* Character left out of the action on purpose (to protect her/him)
* Characters arguing
* Character bossing around another character
* Character extremely successful or in a position of power
* Profession of the characters (special mention if stay-at-home; special mention if never ever mentioned)
* Character demonstrating physical force / weakness
* Character showing that they are frightened
* Character showing sadness / crying
* Character described as being particularly intelligent / dumb
* Character praising/despising another character for her/his exterior appearance / inner qualities or defaults; or being praised/despised for it
* Character showing romantic or sexual interest for another character / reciprocating it / not reciprocating it (noting the type of pairing; special mention if concerns the Doctor)
* Reference to sexuality by/about a male/female character
* (Partial) nudity
* Character with a “ Hollywood” body-type vs. “not Hollywood” body-type
* Character happening not to be of the gender others thought s/he was
* Friendships between characters (noting the type of pairing)
* Reference to parenthood by/about a male/female character
* Reference to a character’s parents
* Reference to wedding / marriage / household life
* Characters abruptly disappearing from the plot and never seen again (including killed off with not much mention of it)
* Characters being given an insufficient amount of information to make informed decisions about their own lives
* Character’s entire life being revealed to focus on the Doctor
Just read yet another critic saying that Moffat's episodes of Doctor Who are more sexist than Davies' ones. I heartedly disagree... But some of the arguments were actually well thought out.
So, as of today, I'm planning to re-watch all of the episodes while completing an analysis grid to really try and see this problem objectively.
Here are some of my ideas for things to take into account:
* character "in distress" (companion / Doctor / female character / male character)
* character saving someone else (companion / Doctor / female character / male character)
* character solving the plot (companion / Doctor / female character / male character)
* character dying (male / female)
* character sacrificing her/himself (male / female)
* character tortured (male / female)
* bad guy / bad girl (or male / female alien baddies!)
* character left out of the action on purpose (male / female)
* character making her/himself useful (male / female)
