1. Introduction In the last half-century water-related issues have become of growing concern for the international community. Rising global awareness of water being a crucial resource for human survival, health and development viewed against the backdrop of insufficient access to a basic water supply have necessitated addressing the challenge of its securitization at the international level. Water crises, including uneven access to water sources around the globe along with new increasing threats
2014) Evidence shows that children who live without sufficient sanitation, hygiene, and clean drinking water do not grow as well as normal children do. Meanwhile, more than 626 million people regularly defecate on the ground outdoors, and this practice has been proposed as an important cause of stunting epidemic, which affected an estimated 48% of the country’s children as of 2005–2006. With safe drinking water, proper sanitation, and hygiene this can prevent malnutrition and stunting in children
reduce their consumption but this will severely affect their health and mental strength. It can lead to irreversible damage in children which will hamper their educational abilities like learning etc. Climate change will severely affect education levels as income and health conditions deteriorate. This is because schooling becomes less affordable as income levels fall and children engage in domestic household activities. While deteriorating health conditions would hamper learning abilities and attendance

Racism refers to the beliefs, practices and types of behaviours that underlie unfair and avoidable inequalities towards groups in society based on race, ethnicity, culture or religion (Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC), 2015). There are a number of aspects of health that racism and racial discrimination can provoke and these include mental health, physical health, disability
and mental health of African-Americans. African American author Mattie J. Jackson writes, “ I am infirm and burdened with the influence with slavery whose impress will ever remain on my mind and body”( Fett, p. 15). The separation of families, disruption of communities, being held in captivity, extraneous labor and punishment, violated the health of the enslaved. In Sharla Fett’s book titled, Working Cures: Healing Health, and Power On Southern Plantations, she explores the conflicting health belief

While free health care programs exist, they limit the people they treat by requiring proof of identification which most homeless youth do not have (Edidin et al., 2012). Community outreach health fairs can be set up at underserved communities in which the youth can receive free health services without documentations needed. In these health fairs the homeless youth can receive information

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands states in its Sectoral and Theme Policy Document of Development Cooperation that “the contribution of malnutrition – even moderate malnutrition – to child mortality is high: 56.0% of all deaths amongst children are associated with malnutrition”(Randstad 1998, p. 7). Sub-Saharan Africa is not excludedfrom the urgent public health problem of malnutrition and governments
The advent of the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center (WTC) in the US, has brought to the fore new dimensions to the global debates on human security with emphasis on addressing broader deficiencies such as disease, poverty, and environmental disasters. Such deficiencies are deemed are indispensable components of the human security approach.

Placing emphasis upon irrational behavior corresponding to worsening lives would be beneficial to their impressionable minds. Providing support in mental health concerns encompassing anger management, goal management, and social skills could aid in the future of the students. Sex education is also necessary in toxic environments where the children and teens may be pressured by their peers. An unwanted
