Daily life in Azraq camp: home to 35,000 refugees

Azraq camp in Jordan is home to 35,000 Syrian refugees, and is growing by 300 to 500 people every day.

What began as a short term solution for Syrians fleeing conflict in their homeland, has become a semi-permanent city - complete with schools, sewage systems, sports fields, barber shops and market places. Worldvision's Simon Day has just been in Jordan at the camp and tells Kathryn Ryan it is both amazing and heartbreaking.

Azraq camp in Jordan is home to 35,000 Syrian refugees, and is growing by 300 to 500 people every day.
The camp covers 15 km2 of a remote desert plain, exposed to sand storms, freezing winters and intensely hot summers.
What began as a short-term solution for Syrians fleeing conflict in their homeland, has become a semi-permanent city - complete with schools, sewage systems, sports fields, barber shops and market places.
Fifty percent of people in the camp are children.
Worldvision's Simon Day has just been in Jordan at the camp and describes it as both amazing and heartbreaking.
Read an edited snapshot of Simon Day’s conversation with Kathryn Ryan
KR: This is like a city almost – a refugee city
SD: You could definitely call it a city. There’s currently 10,000 of these 6 by 4.5 metre – they call them caravans – but they don’t actually move, and these are designed for up to six people and that’s 27m2. So it’s not a lot of space, but the traditional Syrian family units like to live together – so that’s part of the idea they’ve tried to preserve this in the camp. They’re built in villages where people from similar areas in Syria get to live together and form communities and build relationships.
KR: What were your first thoughts as you approached [the camp]?
SD: It feels like a prison camp in many ways, you arrive and you go through a gate that’s guarded by Jordanian soldiers. These looks like cells in many ways, but at the same time there’s a huge degree of freedom – you get to move around as much as you want, you can come and go from the camp as you please. A lot of the people go and visit the friends or family in town, they can seek specialist medical help from the cities if they want. So there is that degree of freedom, but the mundanity and the nihilism in these buildings and this dessert convey is really quite intense and quite scary in many ways.
KR: The camp’s grown to 35,000 Syrian refugees. That’s the size of a mid-sized provincial city in this country.
SD: Definitely, and you feel the size of it for sure. There are people washing clothes at the water pumps, carrying supplies across the dessert to their homes. And there isn’t public transport so they have to walk quite large areas, because this is a really big place – there is a supermarket, there a sports fields, there are schools. It really has the feel and the reality of a functioning city.
KR: And more arriving every day – 300-500 people every day
SD: And there’s more who want to come as well. There’s a process they have to go through to bring the refugees into the camp, the security process. Where they’re initially house in what’s known as Camp Five, where they go through a lot of security checks before they are welcomed into the camp itself where they get a lot more freedom, and it is part of the process that’s necessary in a crisis like this.
KR: What are the facilities for the children? Because out of 35,000 people 50 percent of them are children. What provisions are made for their education – for their wellbeing? How does that work?
SD: That’s a really important part of the work World Visions does, and other NGOs, is providing education, providing psychosocial support for children and also providing them spaces and opportunity to just be children again. So many of them have had to grow up so fast, and see things that no child ever should, that we give them the opportunity just to play, just to have fun and to just learn again. Before that opportunity of just being a child and all that growth that goes with being a young person evaporates for them.

Council rejects attempt to stop it from using toxic pesticides

In the past many parts of Auckland used natural forms of weed control in parks, playgrounds and roadsides, such as hot water and machinery and natural weed killing agents. But the chair of the council's environment committee Wayne Walker, says last year the council reduced the budget for weed control, making it only cost effective for chemicals to be used. He says this goes against the councils environmental policy to minimise the use of agrichemicals - but when he and a fellow councillor tried to put an amendment to the council at a meeting on Friday it was rejected.

'The last bastion of chauvinism' in New Zealand Sport
BODY:
The New Zealand Rugby board has been in existence for 124 years and in all that time there has never been a woman on the board. Brent Impey is the chairman of New Zealand Rugby, and he's vowing to change that.
EXTENDED BODY:
It has been labelled as '”the last bastion of chauvinism”' in New Zealand Sport by Dr Judy McGregor from AUT.
The New Zealand Rugby board has been in existence for 124 years - and in all that time, there has never been a woman on the board.
But New Zealand Rugby Chairman Brent Impey is vowing to change the embarrassing situation.
He is a former lawyer and former CEO of MediaWorks, who has been the Chairman since June 2014.
He says that the union is keen to address the makeup of the national board and the provincial boards, and that gender, sexuality and ethnic diversity are all part of its focus.
Read an edited snapshot of Brent Impey’s talk with Jesse Mulligan
JESSE MULLIGAN: This is a pretty embarrassing situation, no women on the board and there have never been any women on the board. How do you view it?
BRENT IMPEY: Well best practise is to look at diversity on the board, we’re concentrating here on gender, but diversity does extend out to other areas, for example, there’s not a Pacific Islander on the board and there hasn’t been either. The challenge isn’t the desire to achieve it, the challenge is that we have quite a complex constitutional structure and so the board can’t just make these sorts of changes itself it needs the support of the provincial unions who are the stakeholders, or essentially the owners of the New Zealand Rugby union.
So I’ve gone out to say two things really. One is that we’ve got to have best practise and that does involve looking at this issue and being prepared to address it and secondly we need [The Provincial Unions’] assistance to get this over the line.
JM: A lot of the blokes you run into who run provincial unions you wouldn’t think of being at the forefront of gender politics. How are those conversations going?
BE: I think that’s a little bit unfair and is really a rather old view of it all. I mean rugby has become professional and as the sport had developed more modern skills have certainly come on to many of those provincial boards. Many of those boards have women on them. A couple of the franchises – namely the Hurricanes and The Crusaders have women on the board, so it’s not as anachronistic as you say. But it is a challenge. I mean there are no women who are chairs of provincial unions but there are a lot of very talented people in the [Pronvincial Unions]. So I think to say that it’s the last bastion of male chauvinism overstates it to quite a degree.
JM: What is the route to the board for a woman who wants to get there?
BE: Well there are two ways, the first way is that we have three appointed directors, so one comes up every year. And the criteria for that spot is to fill in skills gaps that aren’t necessarily on the board. For example, I come from a broadcasting background and television rights are a critical part of our revenue so therefore that is a skill I can bring to the board. We have had a number of women apply to come on to the board and some have got to the short list for that criteria, but none have made it.
The other six positions are elected – so they’re elected by the provincial union at the Annual General Meeting and we’ve never had a woman that’s been nominated through that process. This is why a call has gone out the provincial unions to consider this when they are looking for people to nominate to come on to our board.
JM: Can you tell me from your perspective what we would achieve by getting more women on the board?
BE: If you look at New Zealand Rugby in terms of the staff and the senior people in the running of the union there is a high number of women and Steve Tew continues to push hard in terms of gender diversity within his team. So we’re getting there in that regard.
What we’re talking about here is the governance of the organisation. I think there is likely to be down the track a commercial imperative as well, we work with Government in certain areas – for example, Sport New Zealand’s programme - and they too are sending out a mandate message which is to encourage sporting bodies to be prepared address this issue. It’s not one we can allow to just drift away, hence why I went on to the front foot to deal with it, get unions to come in and help us.

I AM – not your stereotypical African!
BODY:
Some migrant and former refugee Africans in New Zealand say they are tired of being painted in the media as symbols of perversion, poverty, crime and shame. The 'I AM' project aims to turn this around.
EXTENDED BODY:
The first thing Makanaka Tuwe is asked when she goes out is if she can twerk.
There's also surprise that she can speak English, questions about whether there are cars back in her country, and use of the N-word.
"I think my favourite one has to be, so what are you like with your dad?" she says.
"It's almost like I come from a single parent home, or me and my dad have a tough relationship, but it's not like that, my dad's one of my best friends."
Makanaka moved to New Zealand from Zimbabwe when she was ten, and like other migrants and former refugee Africans in New Zealand, she is tired of Africans being painted in the media as symbols of perversion, poverty, crime and shame.
She says she is blessed in a sense that she doesn't normally find herself in a space where she is made to feel vulnerable or attacked but not everyone else has that luxury.
"All these stereotypes about the black family, about black love, about who you are as a person, your education, it's almost like everything that you do in life is met with that stereotype."
As New Zealand's population of Africans increases so does the desire to create stories that relate to their realities.
Makanaka and photographer Julia Glover are behind the project I AM which focuses the camera lens on what it means to be African without the stereotype.
Allowing people to open and feel comfortable in front of the lens was a challenge for Julia who is half Brazilian and half Kiwi.
"It can be a frightening thing to have a camera right in your face," she says.
"[So] it's about capturing them in their environment and really where they want to be."
Initially, the project was going to be called obscurity, to reflect the obscured identities of Africans in New Zealand but both Makanaka and Julia decided to take it in a lighter direction.
"Most of the narratives out there in the media about people of African descent are very dark, either you're from a poor migrant background or you're from this whole sexualised black-American culture," says Makanaka.
The end result is an attempt to create a powerful narrative that lets the subjects take ownership of their identity and say I am this or I am that.
The I AM exhibition opens at Studio One in Ponsonby during the global celebration of Africa Day and runs from May 26 - June 16 2016.
More about Makanaka's work can be found here.

1:15 Auckland council rejects attempt to stop it using toxic pesticides in parks
In the past many parts of Auckland used natural forms of weed control in parks, playgrounds and roadsides, such as hot water and machinery and natural weed killing agents.
But the chair of the council's environment committee Wayne Walker, says last year the council reduced the budget for weed control, making it only cost effective for chemicals to be used.
He says this goes against the councils environmental policy to minimise the use of agrichemicals - but when he and a fellow councillor tried to put an amendment to the council at a meeting on Friday it was rejected.
1:25 'The last bastion of chauvinism' in New Zealand Sport
The New Zealand Rugby board has been in existence for 124 years and in all that time there has never been a woman on the board.
Brent Impey is the chairman of New Zealand Rugby, and he's vowing to change that.

Bi-lingualism - More than half of the world's people speak more than one language. Recently, psychologists have discovered that knowing more than one language helps us in some surprising ways. The skill of bilinguals to switch focus by filtering out or inhibiting one language to concentrate on the relevant one is the one that is thought to bring wider benefits. Schools that teach in a second language have found that their students do better in tests in their original language. Gaia Vince explores the research that shows the benefits of bilingualism.

Tuesday 17 May Are Human Rights Really Universal? #2 of 2

Wednesday 18 May Setting the Past Free Episode #2 of 2
For some Rudolf Kastner is a hero, for others a traitor. Mark Lawson explores the cultural retellings of a story that began in Nazi occupied Hungary in 1944. At the time Kastner, a lawyer and a journalist, was deputy chairman of the Relief and Rescue Committee. He negotiated with Adolf Eichmann to save Jewish lives but did he pay for them with other Jewish lives? In this programme, Mark Lawson talks to those within Israel - including the playwright Motti Lerner, the Chief Historian of Yad Vashem Professor Dina Porat, and the literary critic Professor Dan Laor - who have all wrestled with Kastner's story and the issues it raises.
