In 2007, the advertising committee of the Observatorio para la Igualdad de oportunidades entre mujeres y hombres [Observatory for Equal Opportunities between Women and Men] commissioned a study from a research team headed by Prof. Dr. María Teresa García Nieto and Prof. Dr. Carlos Lema Devesa, for the purpose of establishing a “Guía de intervención ante la publicidad sexista” [Action Guide on Sexist Advertising].

As a result of violent confrontations between Lema and Hendu tribes in the Ituri district in Province Orientale, some 12,500 people are said to have fled Bunia for the outlying countryside and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) assesses that another 6,000-9,000 have sought refuge in Uganda over the past few weeks.
