Phnom Penh, June 01, 2023 --Digital citizenship is a timely agenda significantly related to children, bringing to light the theme 'Together to Protect and Develop Children under the Shade of Peace in Digital Era' for more concrete actions to address emerging issues they face.It was a key message in an open letter by Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen released on May 30 to cheer the 74th International Children's Day on June 1, 22nd World Day Against Child Labour on June 12, and Cambodia Children's Day 2023.Children are indispensable resource for national development, therefore, ensuring their protection and development is a main pillar for potential human development for Cambodia's future, wrote the Premier.According to Samdech Techo Prime Minister, Cambodia has remarkably reduced child mortality and promoted 9-year basic education, and in 2022, 94 percent of children aged 0-4 years were issued their birth certificates, along with other social security schemes to support them resulting in countless achievements.Side by side with the digitalisation, however, there emerged new trend of online child kidnapping, trafficking, exploitation, abuses, and crimes that the Royal Government of Cambodia is paying much attention to, including Cambodia's ratification of the WePROTECT Statement of Action and other regional mechanisms to ensure children's online security.Samdech Techo Prime Minister underlined that the observation of the Children's Day stands as a reaffirmed commitment of the Royal Government of Cambodia for children's safety and development.He ended his letter calling on competent authorities at all levels to join hands and cooperate closely with concerned partners as well as the media to transform the commitment into actions, especially through enforcing all needful mechanisms and interventions across Cambodia.

Why are birth rates declining in developed countries?

date_range 29-May-2023

visibility 1

In most industrialized nations, fertility is below the levels needed to repopulate the human race. Women may now avoid unintended pregnancies because of contraception's greater accessibility and efficacy. The desire for children has decreased due to issues with family life quality, rising employment rates for women, and a lack of dependence on children for stability in old age.The rise in infertility is due to several variables, including lifestyle factors, increased sexually transmitted illnesses, environmental issues associated with urbanization, and urban living. Additionally, socioeconomic reasons have also contributed to women and couples delaying parenthood. The low fertility/birth rates are partly due to a lack of affordable housing, flexible work schedules for women, and publicly sponsored child care. Besides, due to ovarian aging and other factors that lower the possibility of conception, couples and women are postponing having children, which has resulted in an actual drop in their fertility levels.Within any nation, social structures, religious convictions, and urbanization are likely to impact birth and abortion rates. Additionally, birth control is readily available and can be utilized everywhere. As a result, an economic and demographic problem may arise from this.Source: National Library of Medicine

Risks of drinking cold water after meal

We know how crucial it is to consume enough water to stay hydrated. However, the water's temperature might also impact your health. Many people are unaware that drinking cold water might be more harmful than beneficial.Because it negatively affects your digestion, cold water should be avoided for various reasons. Some cold drinks constrict the blood vessels and hinder digestion. When you drink chilly water, the normal process of absorbing nutrients during digestion is hampered. Cold water should not be consumed since it lowers heart rate. According to studies, sipping cooled water reduces heart rate and activates the vagus nerve. The nerve regulates the body's involuntary processes. A crucial component of the neurological system is the nerve. The heart rate slows because the low water temperature affects the vagus nerve.Additionally, drinking cold water right after a meal prevents your body from properly breaking down fatty acids. It is more difficult for your body to break down excess body fat since the cold temperature of water hardens fats from the diet.Source: Kent Health Care Products
