HUMAN RIGHTS IN SWEDEN: CHILD SOILDERS, FGM, AND CASTE SYSTEMS

** Primary Sources: ** [|NGO support letter to the Swedish Migration Board on the Adel Akim case] This letter written to Sweden is a great example of how peole in Sweden live with great Human Rights. The letter focused on trying to get citizenship for a man who was currently staying in Sweden. He attended a human rights confrence in 2007 that really made him want to make his stay perminent. Due to te letter being so detailed it really makes you see the urge to live in Sweden. [|LEGISLATIVE REFORM TO SUPPORT THE ABANDONMENT OF FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION/CUTTING] The primary document is the reform showing the laws against FGM. It creates strong reasonings for why FGM is against women's human rights and says that is discriminates against them. I really liked the points made and thought it contained a great source of information. ** Artifacts: ** [|Sweden Trys To Stop Genital Mutilation Among Immigrants At Home And Abroad] This artifact shows that Sweden is not for the female genital mutilation and there citizins do not follow the proceedure. However, imigrants that come to Sweden are still tring to practice FGM, but Sweden government is shooting to end illegal performances of FGM among immigrants. [|Child Soldiers Global Report 2008 - Sweden] The Global report shares that child soilders in Sweden are from the ages of 16-70. If there are children that are younger then 18 they MUST get parental consent in order to start training. Only people 18 and older could perform military tactics, 15 year olds can only go threw programs.There are no abductions of secret child soilders, all are legal due to 1994 National Total Defence Service Act. [|The Class System in Sweden] The web page is very interesting and caugtht my attention. I thought that it was neat that it was based on sweedish and Americans communication and creating the page. Socialism is the bases of Sweden making it a classes system. There is rich and poor but people can work there way to become what they want to be, "No one person is seen as better than another and annual income does not determine one's self worth."
