SUMMARY:Integrating Gender Equality to Humanitarian Action
DESCRIPTION:Humanitarian crises disproportionately affect women\, girls\, and gender-diverse people. From natural disasters to conflict\, women and girls have their family and social networks disrupted\, are exposed to an increase in gender-based violence (GBV)\, lose access to critical sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services and have existing gender inequalities further exacerbated post-crisis. \nAs a result\, there is a need to integrate a gender lens into humanitarian response programming and to create opportunities for gender transformative (GT) change. This focus creates opportunities to address the root causes and social norms underpinning gender inequalities. It also considers other gender transformative interventions whose importance are often minimized in humanitarian response because the primary focus of programming is on disaster relief or timelines for program delivery are too short to track transformative change. \nAdditionally\, the gendered impacts of humanitarian crises are not recognized and addressed in the same way in all contexts. In particular\, domestic disaster management programs often fail to include a GE/GT lens\, as was highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic​. \nOn September 13 from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. EDT\, join CanWaCH to discuss practical tools and best practices to better integrate gender equality / gender transformative programming in humanitarian action\, the link between humanitarian-development and nexus programming and how to close the gap that exists between international and domestic responses. In particular\, this session will explore how data collection can be used to inform\, shape\, and support gender transformative humanitarian action. \nClick here to register!

SUMMARY:Unpaid Care Work as a Cause and Consequence of Gender Inequality: The Impact on Women and Girls' Education
DESCRIPTION:Gender norms and practices result in women and girls shouldering a disproportionate amount of unpaid care work around the world. This unequal distribution of care work greatly impacts their access to education and economic opportunities and is a root cause of their social and economic disempowerment. As a result\, there is a great need to recognize this issue and implement a targeted focus on programming that reduces and redistributes unpaid care work. \nOn September 20 from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. EDT\, join CanWaCH to discuss the impact of unpaid care work on women and girls’ access to education\, and further explore the intersections that exist between SDG 5\, gender equality\, and SDG 4\, inclusive and quality education for all. The panel will also consider the key tools needed to transform the care economy in order to create transformative change for both gender equality and inclusive and quality education for all. \nClick here to register!

SUMMARY:Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence: Tools and Best Practices to “Do No Harm”
DESCRIPTION:While digital spaces have become a game-changer in advancing gender equality\, they also mirror the systemic divides that exist in the physical world. This has created new ways for women\, girls\, and gender-diverse people to be isolated\, exploited\, abused\, harassed\, silenced\, and excluded. In particular\, technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV)* – – has become a growing threat and carries significant health\, safety\, political and economic consequences for women and girls\, for their families and communities\, and for society as a whole. \nOn September 27 from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. EDT\, join CanWaCH to discuss strategies\, tools and best practices to address and prevent TFGBV through multiple approaches and at different levels. This session will provide a multi-sectoral approach\, sharing diverse perspectives on how different organizations balance working towards closing the gender digital divide and prioritizing women’s agency in online spaces while ensuring their protection. \n*Technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) refers to any act that is committed\, assisted\, aggravated\, or amplified by the use of information communication technologies or other digital tools likely to cause physical\, sexual\, psychological\, social\, political\, or economic harm or other infringement of rights. \nClick here to register!
