Community welfare centers have become an important hub for the community making solidarity with various stakeholders play a central role in community change and are still influential. In order to achieve SDGs in the community, Solidarity and social action at a community level must be practiced. There are many stakeholders such as public institutions and welfare centers, community groups, and volunteer organizations around SDGs should be established in consideration of these groups in a sense of solidarity.Community welfare centers can be a good platform for making solidarity to achieve SDGs. First, SDGs should be educated to local residents and improved understanding. Secondly, SDGs can be spread through promotion and resource development. It is necessary to vitalize SDGs in various ways. In order to develop man power and material resources, we have to set solidarity up with companies and civic groups can work together for sustainable community development. Thirdly, it should play a role in facilitating the implementation of SDGs within the community solidarity. I have conviction that, through solidarity and social action, we can realize the direction in which the world should move forward, "leaving no one behind."

This research focuses on examining the network collaboration capabilities of indigenous peoples in the context of long-term care policy in Taiwan. The study aims to explore the factors contributing to successful network collaboration among long-term care service organizations in indigenous areas and understand the external and internal capabilities of indigenous long-term care workers in network collaboration. By investigating these aspects, the research aims to shed light on the relationship between indigenous cultural values and their impact on external job performance.This study adopts a qualitative research approach. Data collection is conducted through individual in-depth interviews with indigenous long-term care workers and participatory observation notes. The research sites are the M'ihu Tribe and the Pasing Tribe in the Heping District of Taichung City, both of which have rich long-term care organizations engaged in service. A total of 10 indigenous long-term care workers from the Heping District of Taichung City, including case managers, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and cultural health station caregivers, are included in the study.The research findings indicate that the factors contributing to successful network collaboration among long-term care service organizations in indigenous areas include the organizations' proactive initiation of cooperation, maintaining respect for each organization, market differentiation between organizations, and establishing trust relationships. Regarding individual indigenous long-term care workers, the required external capabilities for network collaboration include actively extending collaboration invitations, building extensive relationships, maintaining a flexible and open mindset, leveraging organizational strengths, maintaining friendly relationships, regularly reviewing and reflecting on oneself, and facing conflicts courageously. The internal perspectives of network collaboration capabilities involve the accumulation of past experiences and the transformation and adjustment of family upbringing experiences.

Summary

 Raising a child with disabilities is generally considered to be " misfortune or unhappiness.” Nevertheless, there are many cases in which mothers feel "happiness" after having a differently abled child. This report is part of a qualitative study to investigate the factors of happiness through interviews with mothers who raise a child with disabilities and have a high subjective sense of happiness, and to reconstruct the concept of the word "happiness" in the Japanese language.　Interviews with several people, including Mrs. C in this case study, were reviewed and approved by the Ethics Review Committee on Research Involving Human Subjects of Ryukoku University Graduate School in February 2019 (2018-29).Mrs. C, the mother of a daughter with triple-X syndrome, describes that her parents were both researchers and very strict, therefore she was unable to be spoiled as a child. However, through the experience of raising her daughter, who is intellectually slow but emotionally sensitive, her relationship with her parents changed for the better.Despite education for her daughter is always Mrs. C’s worries, due to daughter’s physical functions and language development are quite different from others, she is often moved by her daughter's natural caring behavior and expresses, "It's joyful because I'm not expecting it.　Mrs. C has been concerned about others "judging" her daughter for having a disability, yet not having expectations of how she "should" be has brought her joy.Although the form of "happiness" described here cannot be universalized, it can be said that "happiness" can be found in any circumstance, depending on the subjectivity of the individual.

Summary

One of the sustainable development goals is to achieve gender equality and women's empowerment, including the elimination of violence against women. The Nepal government has signaled its commitment to address domestic violence (DV) through the ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) in 1992, by signing onto the Beijing Platform for Action (BPfA, 1995), and by legislating against marital rape (2002) and DV (2009). Yet feminist scholars have cautioned that DV must be understood within context (Lindhorst \& Tajima, 2008) and have also illuminated Western biases in discussions of violence against women forwarded by international institutions (Chowdhury, 2009; Heo \& Rakowski, 2014). This study employed critical discourse analysis to examine the constructions of DV used by service providers in Pokhara, Nepal, as compared with two major international policy documents which service providers cited: the BPfA and CEDAW (including general recommendations 19 \& 35). Fifteen Nepali language interviews and three focus groups were conducted with service providers representing diverse organizations addressing DV. Service providers and policy documents agreed in their conceptualizations of DV as a gender-based violence issue that included acts of physical, sexual, economic, and psychological violence, as well as various forms of control. However, service providers additionally emphasized denial of those rights and entitlements that were normally achieved through the family as DV. These forms of violence included withholding material and care support; denying belonging within the family; withholding legal documents; and abandonment or eviction from the home. These findings underscore the centrality of family for individuals' economic, social, and political well-being, the patriarchal risks women in particular must navigate (Kabeer, 2011), and the need for survivors and those who support them to attend both to short-term safety and long-term economic, social, and political security.
