MiFID II compliance requires preparation
Financial services providers better be prepared for additional scrutiny under MiFID II, Laura Glynn advises.
Ms. Glynn is the global regulatory affairs manager with Fenergo, a provider of client lifecycle management software solutions for investment, corporate and private banks. Fenergo’s solutions help institutions manage the end-to-end regulatory onboarding and entity data management processes. They are rules-driven to ensure compliance with multiple regulatory frameworks while supporting the collection, centralization and sharing of client and counterparty data and documentation institution-wide.
The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority provides the following definition of MiFID II on its website:
Since the early popular rallies in Benghazi on 15 February 2011, women played a crucial role in the revolution that toppled Libyan long-time ruler Muammar Gaddafi. Whether by helping organise and joining daily demonstrations, providing medical aid to those wounded, smuggling ammunitions, selling their jewellery to fund rebel fighters or cooking meals for frontline units, they supported and led the uprising. It was their revolution too. Something many forget is the Libyan revolution was started by women, Hajer Sharief, a human rights advocate and co-founder of Together We Build It (TWBI), a local organisation promoting peace and security in Libya, told
The New Arab.

As the world pauses today to mark International Women’s Day, and twenty-one years following the adoption of the first UN resolution on Women, Peace and Security UNSCR 1325 we should take stock of all that needs to be done to strengthen the inclusion of women in peace processes. That was certainly a key takeaway for me during my tenure in Libya with both the US government and the United Nations. Libya is a country in which women too often bear the direct brunt of armed conflict but struggle to obtain seats at the negotiating table.
The value of including women in conflict prevention and resolution efforts, not to mention peace-building, has become a sine qua non in international mediation but translating that into reality on the ground in countries beset by conflict where the voices of women have been marginalized in favor of those who carry the guns, requires persistent advocacy.
Mum of girl, 8, calls on police to catch Maloney sex predator
Sunday 28 February 2021
The Maloney police station at Maloney Gardens where the frustrated mother of an eight-year-old girl first made a report of sexual abuse. - Angelo Marcelle
A mother’s worst nightmare has materialised. Her seven-year-old daughter was molested by a person known to the family. Added to that anguish, she has been unable to get anyone to investigate the incident, despite her many attempts.
The mother found out about it on June 28 last year.
She said, I m a nurse and I work nights. So my children would go to my mother s house. One is 15 and the other is eight – she was seven at the time. I received a call that something happened and they needed to talk to me.
