The platform, website or mobile application, such as google translator, will help communication between the deaf and hard of hearing and hearing community enabling full integration into society. Our translator would convert the sign language to a text and audio or the reverse.  The translator would work with all languages both sign and spoken language. The translator would be easily accessible to all who need the service.

Seeing as in our modern world, most of us have phones and devices that we carry with us at all times.

Issues we found in both Kurdistan and the USA were having a lack of resources, not being taught how to deal with real-world problems or everyday things and having better curriculum training, teachers focusing more on students getting good grades rather than learning the material, and assuring that everyone has an equal learning opportunity. Kurdistan found that they needed better syllabus design and assuring that their textbooks are chosen by experts/scientific committees. The USA found they needed an overall change from the subjects they were being taught (little to no real courses that teach needed knowledge including but not limited to; how to do taxes, sex ed., applying for jobs, etc.) 

Solutions: 

A way to solve the issue of lack of resources would be revisiting the way money is redistributed now and finding a new way to try and even it out more. If not possible then allow fundraisers and donations to be made. This would also help solve the issue of lack of funding for materials that need to be updated such as textbooks, technology, desks, etc. Lack of courses on common life duties can be solved by reevaluating the basic needs of educational learning (math, science, history, English) and replacing the unnecessary ones with ones that will teach students how to pay bills, get a job, pay taxes, apply for health insurance, etc. All of which could be taught as one course to not remove too many of the educational classes. A big thing we found was that teachers and parents are usually more worried about grades than if the students are actually learning and properly storing information. Having teachers assure we are learning what they are teaching and not just tiny bits of information that will assure we pass but we will forget for future reference along with giving teachers proper training on how to react to feedback from students appropriately regardless of it being negative or positive. A way to solve this issue is making sure teachers teach at a pace where everyone can follow and using tests as a self-evaluation on how the way they are teaching is making sure that students have access to learn the material whatever their learning type might be.

Due to the lack of experience in the career that they wish to pursue, companies often refrain from hiring younger people, especially ones who have just graduated from university. 

Solution: The instating of organizations, whether they be funded by the government or privately owned, that offer work positions and/or programs designed to help the youth gain the experience needed for better hiring prospects. These programs could also help them apply the theoretical concepts they were taught in real life, along with gaining general skills that are needed in the work environment such as communication, self-management, teamwork, and efficiency. 

Unemployed people in Jordan need a way to secure jobs because their lives depend on it. 

An Employee Affairs Unit (EAU) helps unemployed people in Jordan who want to get a job by making the domestic jobs more desirable so that they don't stay unemployed or go job-seeking abroad for better opportunities; and this is achieved by ensuring the preservation of their human rights, providing a suitable environment to work in, looking after the physical and mental conditions in which they work, and improving the benefits of the job such as; the salary, the health insurance, and annual leaves and days off. 

Bringing up this issue and solving it is important to me because people around me and those who are close to me are suffering from this. Moreover, I am one of those whose future careers are threatened by unemployment as I am a student in Jordan who is approaching graduation. 

Solution Statement 
Our proposed solution is a Universal Basic Income (UBI), similar to the one popularized by millionaire businessman and philanthropist, Andrew Yang during his 2019 presidential campaign. Unlike raising the minimum wage, which increases business costs and thus leads to inflation, a UBI would be paid directly to all citizen households, earning less than a determined income ceiling, by the U.S. government. This income would replace most existing welfare programs, and though it would be insufficient to completely cover the living expenses of these households, it would assist them in paying enough of the basic living expenses that they could afford to work part-time while attending college full-time, or allow them to afford to pay off existing student loans (rendering unnecessary, proposals that the federal government forgives all existing student loans), or allow at least one parent to spend more time at home to assist in their children’s primary education. Because this allows citizens to choose how to spend what is then their own money, those who chose to spend it affording higher education will place a greater value on that opportunity, thus working harder to be successful in college.

we can save water in so many ways,
one of them is using a bucket instead of a continuous water flow from a hose while cleaning a car! 
According to the Department of Environment, Maryland, USA, a 100 gallon car wash reduces to 30 gallons in such an arrangement. 
so start using a bucket !

The food drying (dehydration) processes and techniques help people from regions that suffer shortages of food, who are need of adequate food for them and their families during famines resulting from natural disasters, such as a long period of drought, flooding, extreme cold, typhoons, insect infestations, or plant disease by reverting to processes that were being used in the per-refrigeration technology era for preserving and storing food for long periods of time to use during famines and bad agriculture seasons, by means of a variety of food processing techniques such as drying and dehydration and the use of salt and natural preservatives. The concept, although historically proven, can be enhanced through effective use of suitable technologies supported by awareness and training programs.

People in rural areas of Jordan need a way to easily access free healthcare because good health and wellbeing is a right for all residents of Jordan. 

Despite healthcare being free in Jordan for all it’s residents, not everyone has easy access to a clinic in their area. Providing more free clinics all over Jordan helps residents of rural areas who don’t have easy access to healthcare to get early screening for chronic diseases. There should be an emphasis on both physical and mental health alike; as general wellbeing cannot be achieved without either. The widespread clinics can be supplemented with free check-up days in public areas like parks and shopping centers, with referral to the aforementioned clinics of patients who are at risk of certain diseases. 

Contributors to poor air quality in Iraq include vehicle emissions, power generators, small fires especially from oil and gas refineries, and war-induced pollution. Available data indicates that Baghdad has consistently high levels of air pollution
How can we stop environment issues?

     People of Hawaii need a way to fix roads damaged by them because are a safety hazard to all using the road. Due to the weather in Hawaii, there are many potholes that develop on the roads. The potholes cause an inconvenience to all user of the road and often get “quick fixes” that are cost effective, but not long lasting. This is usually due to poor planning, poor quality of work, or all the above. Thanks to these potholes, millions have been spent over the past few years alone, varying from personal damage repairs to road repairs. 

     Another problem in Hawaii is the lack of recycling done by the people, due to our limited recycling capabilities. The products that are barely recycled include, bottles, cans, glass bottles, and cardboard. The people of Hawaii, need a way to recycle more plastic goods because if not recycled, such items will commonly end up in the trash, contributing to our landfills.

     In Kenya a woman by the many of Nzambi Matee has developed a method transforming plastic waste, into strong durable bricks. (To learn more please click this link, Meet the woman turning Kenya's plastic waste problem into a building solution: Plastic bricks - CBS News) I propose that Hawaii adopts Nzambi Matee’s way of turning plastic into bricks for two reasons. The first reason is because I believe that we can provide a more semi-permanent solution to fixing our potholes along with allowing us to reuse our plastics that are not being recycled. This allowing us to keep the cost of materials down while at the same time allowing us to recycle plastic materials.

Student and local organizations urging representatives and politicians to address underfunding for schools could help bring attention to the problem, and allocate more resources to such schools. Furthermore, skilled teachers and adequate resources are necessary to learn properly. By bolstering teachers who are skilled at teaching students, we can create a more educated and curious group of young people, who have the skills to then create solutions for our world problems. 

Millions of children around the globe face different forms of exploitation, these include trafficking and child labor. The impeding effect of this sort of injustice around the world has worsen with the outbreak of the pandemic. Increased child trafficking has tested, weakened and shattered many countries’ system of rights and protection. This increased risk is due to effect of the pandemic, vulnerability of security system and economic distress. Globally, one in three trafficking victims detected in 2018 were children; in low-income countries, the share was one half. Girls are primarily victims of sexual exploitation (72 percent labor (66 percent of detected boy victims) UN SDG. 2020.

Most exploited nations are in Asia and Africa due to increased poverty and lack of appropriate security systems. The easy passage of these trafficker away from the affected nations are made possible due to bribery at all highest level. Most cases of child trafficking have been seen to be results of sold-out slavery by family members of victims due to poverty. This act has most times been proven ignorance on the family members with promises from the traffickers that they want to take their children oversees and offer them scholarships or jobs. In Nigeria 2010, it was a common practice how girls from the ages of 16-25 were taken to Libya with promises of getting good jobs and schooling. These traffickers gave the family members money with promises that their ward will become successful, but unfortunately, the children got there and became sexual tools to the make money.

National human rights institutions (NHRIs) are independent bodies that promote and protect human rights. They have played a critical role during the pandemic by examining and monitoring impacts on health and other areas and by highlighting the human rights implications of the crisis. They have also combated the spread of inaccurate and misleading information and worked to protect vulnerable groups.  In 2020, 82 countries had independent NHRIs that successfully achieved compliance with international standards, a 17 per cent improvement from 2015. One in three LDCs now have an internationally compliant NHRI, compared with one in five in 2015. These gains, however, are not enough to meet the 2030 target. Progress has stalled in most regions, where no new independent NHRIs have been recognized or established since 2018. Efforts will need to be redoubled to establish and strengthen NHRIs and ensure broader access to human rights promotion and protection service. UN SDG, 2020.

A lack of disposable income is a major factor that prevents many from gaining Internet access. Users must also pay for data in addition to the cost of a device. Zero rating services circumvent this barrier by providing access to applications that have no associated data costs. For example Wikipedia and Facebook(in Iraq) makes a zero rated version of their app available, which is free to use. This practice has huge potential to provide the benefits of the Internet to all people.

2. Reducing taxes:

Several countries have “connectivity taxes” on mobile and fixed Internet connections. These taxes drive up costs for consumers, which can make the Internet unaffordable for many families. In some cases it also reduces the incentives for Internet Service Providers to make infrastructure investments in underserved areas. Research has shown that reducing these types of taxes can increase the number of Internet users.

3. Diversifying content:

English is the primary language of the Internet. This excludes millions of educated people who could use the Internet if content were available in their native tongue. Expanding the type of content on the Internet would also increase its attractiveness for people around the world. 

Fortunately there are a number of options available to governments who seek to mitigate barriers to Internet access for their poorest citizens. New policies are necessary to make sure that all people regardless of the socio-economic status have access to the benefits of the Internet.

The right to health for all people means that everyone should have access to the health services they need, when and where they need them, without suffering financial hardship. No one should get sick and die just because they are poor, or because they cannot access the health services they need. This is even important in today’s world with the pandemic.

Solution statement:

Student volunteering can help hospitals and clinics in Kurdistan and Iowa to provide services during the pandemic and distribute medicine and vaccines to nursing homes and other areas of need.

The intense subjection of women and children to forced labor and prostitution can be widely seen in Nigeria and this trafficking trend has been manipulated into different modules even with the monitoring of international community. The Nigerian wave of immigration to Europe had already begun in the 80s, when mostly women saw a possibility of economic improvement by leaving Africa and moving to Europe. many of them travelled with false documents and became prostitutes in European cities as finding regular jobs were difficult without legal status in the country Tereza Ciupkova 2022.

Trafficking of children sprung up on Nigeria’s government watchlist in the 90s with the constant kidnapping of children between the ages of 7-14, and these children were never heard of nor seen till date. With the fast acquisition of visas to Europe back then, the abductors of these children were able to get them out of the country while some used sea or land means of transportation which were longer and dangerous. Now, the trafficking trend has gone beyond slavery, labor and prostitution, receding into ritual killings and other fetish purposes.
