    Numbers of World Issues


    by Ronel L. Alijado

    Poverty, pollution, discrimination, human rights violations, and terrorism affect


    many people around the world. These bring miseries to nations. Seemingly, for a lot of
    people, there have been no concrete policies and programs to address the problems to
    help them to survive and to get a chance for a better life.

    According to Asian Development Bank, 16.6% of the population (almost 18


    million people) lived below the national poverty line in 2018 in the Philippines. James
    Baldwin, an African-American writer, said, “Anyone who has struggled with poverty
    knows how extremely expensive it is to be poor.” Poverty results to unemployment, lack
    of education, malnutrition, disease, and crime. Its social consequences make their lives
    even worse.

    Five million deaths each year are linked to air pollution. Annually, around the
    globe, 400 million tons of hazardous waste is produced. One ton of oil is spilled for
    every 1 million tons of oil being transported. The world’s forest has been already
    destroyed by 80%. These numbers suggest harms and deaths they cause on land, in
    water, in air, on human health, and on flora and fauna.
    Amnesty International states that “discrimination occurs when a person is unable
    to enjoy his or her human rights or other legal rights on an equal basis with others
    because of an unjustified distinction made in policy, law, or treatment.” People suffer
    from discrimination because of their race, class, religion, gender, etc. For example,
    same-sex sexual activity is a crime in 70 countries and can get people a death sentence
    in Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Sudan.

    On the other hand, more than, 5,500 suspected drug dealers and users have
    been killed since June 2016 in the Philippines according to Human Rights Watch.
    Without a due process, people are at risk of becoming victims of a war against illegal
    drugs and without an investigation into these extrajudicial killings, they become only
    statistics. The number will definitely rise.

    Barack Obama said, “No religion is responsible for terrorism. People are
    responsible for violence and terrorism.” In the 2020 Global Terrorism Index, the number
    of terror-related deaths is 13, 826. Because of radical and evil views of some individuals
    and groups, they spread violence and cause fears, traumas, and deaths in societies.
