    The Right to Food and School Feeding Programes in Addis Ababa: Experiences from Tsehai Chora and Dagmawi Minelik Kindergarten &Primary Schools
    (Addis Ababa University, 2014-06) Getachew, Helen; Alemu, Girmachew(Assistant professor)
    This thesis examines school feeding program in Addis Ababa and it explores whether it contributes to the promotion and realization of the right to food in Ethiopia. In doing so, the study explores the experiences of some selected schools’ feeding programs in Addis Ababa. The writer interviewed and conducted discussion with number of informants drawn from students, parents, teachers, school representatives or administrators, representatives of governmental and nongovernmental organizations. The study shows that the programs helped to some extent in alleviating the lack of food they faced. The programs helped the student beneficiaries and allowed them to have to get food and enabled them to go to school. This shows the potential of the school feeding programmes to prevent the consequences of lack of food among the school children studied. The study also shows that school feeding programmes in Addis Ababa being carried out at the schools visited for the purpose of this study are initiated on humanitarian ground, although there are some principles that are incorporated in the programs which are in line with the right based approach. Consequently, the affected students are passive recipients of food being served at the respective schools based on voluntary contribution of individual members of the community with some support from non-government organizations. The writer suggests that first of all, the potential of school feeding as the mechanism for promotion of the right to food and to be free from hunger among children and the affected population as a whole requires further research. Secondly there is a huge gap in terms of awareness and information about the on-going programs, and there is a need to create awareness in these programs. The writer also suggests laws and policy in regard to the right to food and school feeding programmes in Ethiopia are not adequate and this need to be revisited. In conclusion school feedings program based on the rights-based approach have the potential to serve as springboard for the promotion and then the realization of the right to food. The right based approach would help incorporate and represent better the students affected and may help them influence what and how they are going to get what they should get. Moreover such an approach contributes to break the silence surrounding the suffering due to lack of food, children and the various categories of people in Addis Ababa and elsewhere around the country.

    The Role of the Police in Protecting Human Rights against Technology-Oriented Crimes: the Case of Lideta Sub-City
    (Addis Ababa Unversity, 2024-09) Bilisa Tamrat; Comdr.Demelash (Associate Professor)
    The rise in technological crimes like online fraud, cyberbullying, hacking, and spreading false information has posed major obstacles for Human right. This research, centered on Lideta Sub-City in Ethiopia, examines the role of the police in safeguarding human rights from breaches. The study utilized a qualitative approach, conducting in-depth interviews with 22 police officers and 15 technology-related crime victims. Thematic analysis was used to evaluate the typical offenses, their effect on human rights, and the difficulties encountered by law enforcement. Furthermore, police reports and crime records were examined as additional sources of data to support the results. The findings indicate that prevalent technology-related offenses in Lideta Sub-City consist of hacking, cyberbullying, financial fraud, and deliberately spreading fake news. Police officers recognized the increasing difficulty of these crimes due to outdated technology and inadequate cybercrime legislation. Around three-quarters of the police officers who were interviewed were team leaders, with 73% being male and having an average age of 35.6 years. Informant mentioned that the lack of proper training and resources was impeding their capability to investigate and prevent such crimes efficiently. Those who were harmed voiced worries about breaches of their privacy, freedom to speak, and safety, with certain individuals experiencing monetary damages from internet scams. This research emphasizes the pressing importance of enhancing technological capabilities, making legal reforms, and providing specialized training to empower law enforcement in protecting human rights. Additionally, it suggests utilizing a multi-stakeholder strategy that includes community education initiatives, partnering with tech professionals, and creating proactive plans to combat the increasing risk of technology-based crimes in Ethiopia. The results highlight the necessity of granting authority to law enforcement to adequately address these crimes, thus safeguarding citizens' rights in the digital era.
