STATEMENT /SUBMITTED BY CENTRE FOR PUBLIC HEALTH
The Centre for Public Health also has started a to ll-
free domestic abuse hotline to help combat violence against women and girls.
The Centre for Public Health seeks to educate people about cervical cancer and
the HPV (Human Papilloma Virus). Recent studies indicate that 80 per cent of new
HPV (Human Papilloma virus) cases occur in low- and middle-income countries like
Nigeria. Cervical cancer, one of the cancers linked to Human Papilloma Virus, is one
of the leading causes of death in Nigerian women. Every year, roughly 14,500 new
cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed and over 9,600 die from cervical cancer, in
many cases related to HPV (Human Papillomavirus).

STATEMENT SUBMITTED BY CENTRE FOR PUBLIC HEALTH, A NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION IN CONSULTATIVE STATUS WITH THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COUNCIL
CPH works mainly in these areas in collaboration with regional
health centers, to reduce the mortality rate from infectious diseases and to tackle the
burden of cancer and HIV/AIDS. The CPH provides educational and training
seminars, radio broadcasts focused on health education, advocacy campaigns for
cancer prevention, and more.
(...) This contributes to poor performance in school, which the CPH works to
combat. The CPH does so through its young volunteers who are working to provide
sanitary pads to them. (...) Recent studies
indicate that 80 per cent of new HPV cases occur in low- and middle-income countries
like Nigeria. Cervical cancer, one of the cancers linked to HPV, is one of the leading

GENERAL ASSEMBLY OFFICIAL RECORDS, 66TH SESSION : 8TH PLENARY MEETING, TUESDAY, 20 SEPTEMBER 2011, NEW YORK
Social inequalities lead directly to health
inequalities, so our efforts to combat risk factors must
be led by a drive to act on those social determinants of
health — the causes of the causes.
(...) Growing national
capacities for combating the NCD epidemic indicate
that there are significant opportunities for progress in
the coming years.
(...) Although the international community has
already undertaken many actions to combat
non-communicable diseases, we still have much to do.

STATEMENT / SUBMITTED BY AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY
Inequities in cancer care and outcomes
both between and within nations need to be addressed as a human rights imperative
as well as an essential component of initiatives to combat poverty and promote
sustainable development.
(...) According to a study on the “Global economic cost of cancer” by
the American Cancer Society and LIVESTRONG, cancer is the disease with
the largest global financial impact. (...) At the heart of these serious inequalities is a lack
of global political and financial commitment to cancer control.
• Spending on non-communicable diseases, despite the fact that they are
responsible for 63 per cent of the world’s deaths, is less than 3 per cent of the
overall global amount spent on development assistance for health-related
problems
• Although more than 50 per cent of cancer cases, and over 70 per cent of cancer
deaths and 80 per cent of the disability-adjusted life-years lost to cancer occur
in low and middle-income countries, only an estimated 5 per cent of global
resources for cancer control are spent there
• Countries in Africa, for example, account for 0.2 per cent of global medical
costs for cancer; a little over 1 per cent of global spending on health; 6.4 per
cent of new cancer cases; and 15 per cent of the global population.

trafficking. It thus placed the European Union in a strong position in defence of
women's rights at the 49th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women
in March 2005. (...) In order not to undermine
the effectiveness of efforts to combat trafficking in human beings, the European
Commissioner for Human Rights, Mr. (...) The role and the responsibilities of the police in combating domestic violence

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXPERT ON THE ENJOYMENT OF HUMAN RIGHTS BY PERSONS WITH ALBINISM ON HER MISSION TO THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA : NOTE / BY THE SECRETARIAT
Government efforts to increase tax receipts, including by eliminating exemptions,
curbing evasion and combating corruption, have enabled ongoing public investment.
According to the Tanzanian anti-corruption agency, however, corruption is still prevalent,
and the efforts made to combat it are not entirely sufficient. 3 A special court with
jurisdiction over cases of alleged corruption (the Corruption and Economic Crimes Division
of the High Court) was established in September 2016.
11. (...) The provisions of the Penal Code on possession of body parts, for example, are
fundamental to combating trafficking of body parts. The Independent Expert notes,
however, that they have not yet been invoked for that purpose.
