Eminent Domain: Knowing Your Rights

Believe it or not - yes, the government can take your land.  How would you feel if the government came along and did this - and was within their rights? It’s a part of the 5th Amendment - as long as the government is paying your just compensation and must claim the land for public use.   If you are a landowner, it’s essential to know your rights when it comes to the details of eminent domain. This is a phenomenon happening across the nation where the government is taking land over  - or even parts of a land parcel.

Facebook has been long targeted for criticism over its handling of human right issues. The company is now counteracting by introducing a new corporate human rights policy, under which it is committing two things: providing an annual report on its impact on human rights and a fund for human rights defenders.

 

Facebook says that it will report its “most critical human rights issues, like risks to freedom of expression” to its board of directors, while the fund for defenders will be I the form of offline support for activists and journalists. The company’s director of human rights Miranda Sissons added that Facebook will also continue supporting digital security efforts like “thwarting unauthorized access” to accounts of activists.

How the CARES Act is Providing Relief to Americans

It goes without saying that 2020 has been the year in which many spheres of life have been altered because of COVID-19. The global pandemic has stirred the living conditions of many across the globe, causing chaos and little hope for people whose living has been affected beyond comprehension.

Economies of many countries, big or small, have collapsed. Many people have lost their jobs and many sectors simply cannot implement the 'work from home' strategy as it doesn't suit them. Among these countries, the United States has been one of the most affected by the pandemic. Its super-economy has been effected in the long run due to the increase in the number of cases in almost every state.

The Top Countries in 2020 For Raising a Family

 In the modern era, there is so much that we have to consider when it comes to raising a family. Both the parents want the best for their children and even for themselves, and there are many challenges that lie in the way. But not every country can necessarily provide the comfort people usually seek. With respect to this, there are six basic categories in which people look for the best when raising their families. 

 The first and foremost most important property to consider is safety. If the country cannot guarantee you a safe and secure living, then it's obvious that everything else won't fall into place. Crime rate, general law and order, human rights issues all fall under the umbrella of safety. Nobody would want to live in a country where it feels more like a prison and less like home, let alone raise a family.

 Happiness comes in at second. This is important because all other indices will act as contributors to how happy a family is. A country's suicide rates can provide drastic information related to its happiness levels. The happiness index depends upon how good and proper the other factors are.
At third, we have the cost index, in which the budget set by the country's government plays an important role. This is critical if the country's economic condition is not good and unstable, as that will mean an increase in taxes and the prices of all products and services will become higher than usual as well. Jobs with appropriate salaries are necessary, as this will lead to better income and more chances of equal and well-balanced household finance management.

Women Empowerment: The importance of financially independent women

Equal rights for women have always been debated for centuries, but now they are raising their voices and demanding their rights. There are several things that a woman can do just as good or even better than men and be as strong as independent as any other human. Success does not have a gender – it comes to those who are genuinely hard working.

The women’s full financial potential is often suppressed by many factors, which are mostly because of sexism and gender inequality. A more well-known statistic that you may or may not have heard that a woman makes 81 cents for every dollar a man makes, which may be true in some cases due to the wage gap that is unfortunately still a problem in our system. It causes adverse effects on women’s economic status.

How America's Public Policy Supports Homeless Youth

 Homelessness is quite a big issue in the United States, with the total number reaching an estimate of 4.2 million young adults. It is not only unstable financial conditions within a family that lead to homelessness but also how the particular youth bonds with their family. Fights within the family and poor communication and affection cause a young individual to emotionally detach from their family. Many youths give away themselves to leading their lives alone and hesitate to reach out for help.

 There are many reasons behind the unfair treatment of homeless youth by their family. Most of the time the family doesn't agree with the views, opinions and independent choices of their child. Other reasons may include mentally unstable parents who beat up their young ones out of their own stressful condition. A toxic environment also results in youth opting for drugs to feel better and if there is ongoing pressure of school and college, it makes matters only worse.

Freedom Around The World Is Eroding
Like many other things in this world, the amount of freedom that people have ebbs and flows with time.

In general, it can be argued that political and economic freedoms have been increasing steadily since The Enlightenment – but of course, there are always shorter corrections along the way where freedom seems to spiral downwards in the interim.

Right now, we’re in one of those ruts, and global freedom has consecutively declined for a 12 year period.

Breastfeeding Rights
Currently in the United States caregiving duties are the single biggest reason women give for not participating in the workforce. Certainly some of these women do not want or need to be in the workforce, but things like the high cost of childcare, inflexible schedules, and lack of facilities for pumping milk after the birth of a child are keeping women out of the workforce who may want to be in it.

The United States is the only industrialized nation with no paid parental leave, and even though there are federal and state laws that protect a woman’s right to breastfeed women are still hassled and bothered when they just want to feed their children.

Choosing to breastfeed should never keep you out of the workplace or prevent you from going out into public. Yet public perception of breastfeeding has not caught up to other areas of women’s children’s and parenting rights. Learn more about breastfeeding rights from this infographic!

Type of Discrimination
Know Your Rights and Accept Those of Others. From the racial tension preceding the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed African-American slaves in 1863, to the recent controversy over Indiana's Senate Bill 101, which according to Governor Mike Pence is in place to protect free exercise of religion, there is and historically has been discussion about discrimination of all kinds. Nearly 89,000 charges were filed in 2014 due to discrimination, according to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Do you know if you contribute to the problem? FH+H has created an infographic to help illustrate discrimination by type and inform about what is considered harassment.
