Designer Maternity Fashion? Sono Vaso has it for you!

Once upon a time, there was no such thing as maternity fashion. Hard to believe, isn’t it?

Many, many years ago women wore loose dresses that could be cinched at the waist between pregnancies and let out when needed. This meant only one set of clothing, but it was a bad compromise. These all purpose garments were too bulky between babies and also failed to flatter and support pregnant bumps and breasts.

When your grandmother or great-grandmother was expecting, she might have tried to minimize her bump. Women said they had “a bun in the oven” and other phrases meant to play down her pregnancy. Thankfully, times have changed!

Women from Jackie to Nicole have shown that maternity fashion can be pretty and comfortable. As time has gone on, we’ve learned to celebrate pregnancy and that means maternity styles have become more body-conscious. Fabric can flow gracefully over a bump and there’s no reason to hide it. You’ve got it and you should flaunt it!

At Sono Vaso we believe you should be able to stay on trend throughout pregnancy, nursing and early parenthood. We feature current colors, patterns, fabric for each season and craft them into garments that will keep you comfortable and looking your best. You may find that your favorites become part of your permanent collection!

No place to live for Ukrainian female injecting-drug users: Eurasian Harm Reduction Network seek justice for Svetlana Eka Iakobishvili

 

 

In December 2013, – a young woman named Svetlana Mikhailenko died in one of the main cities of Ukraine. The official death certificate cited the cause of death as ‘AIDS’ which is one of the main causes of death amongst Ukraine’s injecting drug user community, despite being a preventable and treatable disease. Svetlana’s case is one of many that encapsulates government’s ignorance, police abuse and the vulnerability of women who use drugs and live with HIV/AIDS and/or TB.

Svetlana was diagnosed with HIV few years ago after she came out of prison, where she had served a sentence for her drug use. Pregnant at the time, and without a source of income, she was forced to leave the hospital and refused medical treatment. For seven years, she did not approach another medical clinic. Medical evidence shows that her HIV had progressed to AIDS. Svetlana had a co-infection of both Hep C and TB, constituting a complex medical condition that requires urgent medical attention and quality supervision.

However her story does not end here.

Svetlana was further detained and released a number of times in the run up to the detention of her partner during the autumn of 2013. She was first detained as a witness and was forced to testify against her partner and his drug use. She was kept in police detention, despite a lack of legal grounds and was physically assaulted even throughout her pregnancy.

Her interrogations went beyond legal regulations for witness testimonies and she was treated with cruelty and degradation.

Svetlana’s medical condition deteriorated following her stint in police detention. Against the advice of medical practitioners, law enforcement officials continued to take her into detention, where she was subjected to continual physical and psychological pressure and abuse.

Official documents issued by the government of Ukraine attribute Svetlana’s death to AIDS, hepatitis C and TB.

No further investigations or testimonials have been sought to determine whether her death could have been prevented.

The questions that need to be asked complex and underlie the systematic and gross violations of human rights of women who use drugs in Ukraine.

Why do these violations occur in the first place? Why do police brutally and at times fatally harm women who use drugs? Why do police ignore the advice of medical professionals, and disallow them to carry out their ethical and professional obligations. Eurasian Harm Reduction Network (EHRN), with the support of Levi Straus Foundation has campaigned on behalf of Svetlana and her loved ones to seek for justice. Street-based lawyers with the assistance of human rights experts have been able to investigate the case and established the links between police violence, denial of medical treatment and Svetlana’s death.

Svetalana’s death should not become a battlefield of legal and policy manipulations for the government of Ukraine.  Quite the opposite, lessons need to be learnt and shared, and those responsible for her death be held accountable for their wrong-doings. EHRN will be following up with the case and aim to take it up within national institutions as well as international institutions to assure justice for Svetlana and her loved ones.

Quick Steps To Form Your Company In Hong Kong From The Ground Up

Hong Kong is the mecca of many things. It is a melting pot of rich and varied cultures and human resources. It is the Asian hub of many of the world’s global companies. Hong Kong also offers ease in travel. Hence, there is little wonder why businessmen flock to Hong Kong and want to start their own company in this vibrant city from the ground up.

Now if you’re one of those businessmen who want to start a business in Hong Kong but not entirely sure how to go about it, here are some quick and easy steps for you to take.

1. Decide on which kind of company you’re starting in Hong Kong. Will it be a private limited company or a pre-formed one? Pre-formed companies normally have an authorized share capital of 10,000 x HK$1 shares. A pre-formed company is also available immediately but would still need activation.

2. Have you decided on who your director would be? Will you be open to shareholders? Or do you want to be both the director and the shareholder? This is important because Hong Kong companies need only one shareholder and one director.

3. Your Hong Kong company must have a company secretary. The secretary can either be an individual or a company and must have a Hong Kong registered office address.

There are still several more important things you need to know, though, if you want to start a Hong Kong company. To avoid getting confused with terminologies and other requirements, though, best if you commission a company in Hong Kong that provides professional corporate services.

Why Startups Should Outsource Corporate Services to Business Registration Hong Kong

Are you an owner of a startup? Introducing a startup business especially in Hong Kong can prove to be quite the challenge.

Additionally, searching for competent, knowledgeable and responsible employees may also take time and effort – not to mention additional overhead costs.
