Asia-Pacific Regional Statement by Sarah Knibbs, Regional Director a.i. on The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women: The study titled Gender-Related Killings of Women and Girls – Improving Data to Improve Responses to Femicide /Feminicide show that around 45,000 women and girls worldwide were killed by their intimate partners or other family members last year. This means that, on average, more than five women or girls are killed every hour by someone in their own family. The Asia Pacific region accounted for the largest number of intimate partner or family-related femicides with 17,800 femicides in 2021. The report is a startling reminder that over the past decade, progress to end violence
New type of surgery can help amputees better control their residual muscles
MIT researchers have invented a new type of amputation surgery that can help amputees to better control their residual muscles and sense where their phantom limb is in space. This restored sense of proprioception should translate to better control of prosthetic limbs, as well as a reduction of limb pain, the researchers say.
In most amputations, muscle pairs that control the affected joints, such as elbows or ankles, are severed. However, the MIT team has found that reconnecting these muscle pairs, allowing them to retain their normal push-pull relationship, offers people much better sensory feedback.
New surgery may enable better control of prosthetic limbs

MIT researchers have invented a new type of amputation surgery that can help amputees to better control their residual muscles and sense where their “phantom limb” is in space. This restored sense of proprioception should translate to better control of prosthetic limbs, as well as a reduction of limb pain, the researchers say.
In most amputations, muscle pairs that control the affected joints, such as elbows or ankles, are severed. However, the MIT team has found that reconnecting these muscle pairs, allowing them to retain their normal push-pull relationship, offers people much better sensory feedback.
MIT researchers in collaboration with surgeons at Harvard Medical School have devised a new type of amputation surgery that can help amputees better control their residual muscles and receive sensory feedback. This restored sense of proprioception should translate to better control of prosthetic limbs, as well as reduction of limb pain, the researchers say.
