Source text - French Objectifs du PN-PTF/LCP
L’objectif de développement du programme est de promouvoir des stratégies, plans et programmes nationaux de développement à travers un processus participatif de renforcement de capacités nationales et locales qui prend en compte d’une part des cibles spécifiques de réduction de la pauvreté monétaire et humaine dans les villages au Burkina Faso, d’autre part les Objectifs du Millénaire pour le Développement (OMD).
Les objectifs spécifiques visent à :
- renforcer les capacités nationales de suivi de la pauvreté monétaire et de l’inégale conformément aux OMD et élaborer des instruments de suivi-évaluation ;
- accroître l’accès des pauvres aux ressources financières avec l’établissement de mécanismes de financement en faveur de la réplication de la plate forme ;
- Elaborer et améliorer une méthodologie de gestion commerciale et de suivi- évaluation des plates formes en répondant aux caractéristiques des marchés ruraux, périurbains et urbains.
Principaux résultats attendus du PN-PTF/LCP
Le programme vise la dissémination progressive de 400 entreprises PTF (dont 165 avec réseau de distribution d’eau ou d’éclairage) dans 4 zones d’intervention du pays sur 5 ans tout en consolidant et en renforçant la zone d’intervention du projet pilote ainsi que l’intégration de la démarche dans la revue et l’exécution du CSLP et les programmes sectoriels visant la réduction de la pauvreté en milieu rural.

The specific objectives are:
-to reinforce national follow-up capability related to poverty and the inequality in accordance with the MDGs and to develop instruments for regular evaluation;
-to increase the access of the poor to financial resources with the establishment of financial mechanisms favouring platform production;

Principal results expected of the PN-PTF/LCP
The aim of the programme is the progressive spread of 400 PTF enterprises (165 of which are part of water or electricity distribution networks) in four intervention zones over five years while consolidating and reinforcing the pilot intervention zone, as well as the integration of procedures into the review and execution of the CSLP and sector programmes aimed at the reduction of rural poverty.

Résumé :
L’analyse des conditions de vie des ménages réalisée à partir des grandes enquêtes nationales de type budget-consommation n’intègrent que partiellement les transferts entre individus. Pourtant, ces transferts peuvent occuper une place importante dans la régulation sociale pour des pays qui ne disposent pas de système de sécurité sociale. Il est admis que les transferts, intra familiaux notamment, contribuent significativement à la redistribution des richesses et à la régulation des risques sociaux dans les pays en développements. Cette étude rappelle en une première partie les principales explications, anthropologiques et économiques, qui ont été avancées pour comprendre ces transferts. Sur la base de cette analyse, une enquête a été conçue afin de cerner les différents supports et modalités de ces transferts (confiage des enfants et tutorat, transferts monétaires, dons en nature ou apport au travail domestique et professionnel) et d’étudier au mieux les fonctions sociales qu’ils remplissent dans les pays en développement. Cette enquête a été mise en place à Montezo, village de Côte d’Ivoire situé à une quarantaine de kilomètres d’Abidjan. Nous présentons dans cette étude les principaux résultats obtenus dans le cadre de cette enquête spécialement conçue pour étudier les transferts : les contextes culturel, socio-démographique et économique sont mis en perspective puis les transferts monétaires et en nature, les appuis au travail domestique et professionnel sont systématiquement décrits et analysés.
Translation - English Study of transfers: primary results of a survey conducted in Montezo
Summary :
The analysis of household conditions that have come about through large national budget/consumption only partially include transfers between individuals. However, these transfers may occupy an important place in the social regulation of a country lacking in a social security system. Transfers, in particular those between families, contribute significantly to the redistribution of wealth and the regulation of social hazards in developing nations. This study examines the primary explanations, anthropological and economic, which have been advanced for the understanding of these transfers. On the basis of this analysis, an inquiry was conducted in order to determine the various supports and modalities of these transfers (confiage of children and tutorat, monetary transfers, donations in kind or of domestic and professional labor) and to better examine the social functions common in developing nations. This inquiry took place in Montezo, a village in the Ivory Coast, located some 40 kilometers from Abidjan. In this study, we present the principal findings within the framework of the survey, constructed especially to study transfers : cultural, socio-demographic and economic contexts are put in perspective, and supports for domestic and professional labor are systematically described and analyzed.
Japanese to English: North Korean Human Rights Act (Japan)
This law, building upon the “Resolution on the Situation of Human Rights in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea)” passed by the United Nations General Assembly on December 16th 2005, and taking into consideration the human rights violations committed by North Korea, which are of pressing importance to Japan, including abductions, which require the cooperation of the international community to resolve, while at the same time recognizing the importance of increasing public awareness of North Korean human rights issues, aims to clarify the North Korean human rights situation and deter human rights abuses in cooperation with the international community.

Japanese to English: I was sold to a sex chat site--Miryon's story
Source text - Japanese 延吉市内のあるアパートに着いた後、売られたことを知りました。その家には、別の３人の脱北者女性がいました。
Translation - English We found out upon reaching an apartment in Yanji that we had been sold. Besides us, there were three other women from North Korea in that house. Two of them were involved in showing various parts of their bodies on an adult website. It was such a shameful situation.
According to what they said, the site was run by South Koreans and ethnic Koreans from China. I only discovered later that it was a sex-chat site. The man who brought us there ordered us to do whatever the online client told us to do. He threatened to "marry" us off to an old or handicapped man from a farming village if we didn't do as he said. The ethnic Korean Chinese boss told us that showing our bodies like this on the Internet was surely far preferable to suffering as "brides" or being used as sexual playthings by men we didn't even know. In addition, he told us that if we did this work for two years, he would send us to South Korea.
I didn't know what to think, but before I knew it I was working on this adult site.
After some time, the boss called me in and ordered me to sleep with him that night. When I refused, he beat me and eventually succeeded in raping me. With that, I was not only working on the adult site, but had become a sexual plaything for men. On reflection, I felt that marriage would have been better.
The next day, the boss asked me if I was going to continue working on the website. When I said I wasn't, he immediately lost his temper with me and started beating me. My mother intervened and tearfully pleaded with him to let me work on the adult site. In the end he relented and I went back to working on the adult site.
