SUMMARY:CPHIA side event: Defeating malaria through equitable partnerships
DESCRIPTION:Dear colleagues and partners attending the 2023 Conference on Public Health in Africa\, \nYou are warmly invited to a side event entitled “Defeating malaria through equitable partnerships” organized by Medicines for Malaria Venture and The Tropical Diseases Research Centre\, Zambia. \nWhile significant strides have been made in the last two decades to defeat malaria\, today\, progress is stalling. In 2021\, malaria claimed nearly 619\,000 lives worldwide and over 245 million malaria cases were reported. Over the years\, many partnerships have worked to achieving the goal of eradicating malaria. \nIn this side event\, experts will shed light on how equitable partnerships between key stakeholders in malaria-endemic countries and other actors in the global malaria community can be the building blocks for the development of sustainable R&D and access strategies for malaria elimination. \nKey takeaways: \n· Insights: Gain insights from African leaders and experts on the front lines of malaria elimination. \n· Solutions: Discover solutions and success stories that are driving progress in response to seasonal malaria surges\, severe malaria and medical supply insecurity. \n· Challenges: Understand the challenges equitable partnerships encounter and learn how they can be surmounted. \nModerator: \n     Joy Phumaphi\, African Leaders Malaria Alliance and MMV Medicines for Malaria Venture Board \nConfirmed Speakers:    \n     Christine Manyando\, Tropical Diseases Research Centre\, Zambia \n     Eric Nebié\, National Institute of Public Health (INSP)\, Burkina Faso \n     Alice Neequaye\, MMV Medicines for Malaria Venture\, Switzerland \n     Ngashi Ngongo\, Africa CDC\, Ethiopia         \nPlease RSVP by November 20th\, 2023 to secure your place at this event.

SUMMARY:MinoFest 2023
DESCRIPTION:MinoFest\, formerly the Racialized Maternal Health Conference\, is the only conference of its kind in North America\, and is the premier event shaping the future of perinatal care for Black and racialized birthing persons. \nMinoFest 2023 will take place on November 30 at the Design Exchange in Toronto. We have carefully curated an enriching program that includes inspiring keynote speakers\, thought-provoking panel discussions\, and engaging workshops. This event is an opportunity to unite and learn from experts in the field\, share experiences\, and collectively address crucial challenges in perinatal health. \nEarly Bird Pricing Available Until September 5! \nYour ticket gives you full access to conference programming\, food and beverage (breakfast\, lunch\, and beverages will be served)\, and our Opening Night Party (6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.). \nCelebrating Holistic Motherhood & Perinatal Health \nMinoFest is inspired by the term “Mino”\, which is a term in the Fon Language which means “Our Mothers”. It was used to describe the Dahomey Amazons\, who were an all female military regiment of the Kingdom of Dahomey (Benin). Although the Mino did not have their own children\, they were viewed as warriors\, advocates\, protectors\, caregivers\, and mother figures to their communities. We firmly believe in celebrating a holistic experience of motherhood\, parenting and perinatal health that engages all aspects of the full experience of Black and racialized birthing persons and parents. Whether you are nurturing and safeguarding your family or your community\, we recognize and appreciate the invaluable work you do each day to uplift us all. \nClick here for more information and to register!

IJM will highlight why every intervention to combat human trafficking\, forced labour\, sexual abuse\, and gender-based violence must be trauma-informed and survivor-led.\n– CPJ as a national policy advocacy organization works to center public justice in policy debates. CPJ will highlight how its work on refugee and migrant rights  – such as campaigns to end immigration detention and securing healthcare access for all regardless of immigration status – aims to strengthen the agency of those who migrate or seek asylum in Canada.  \nClick here to register!

SUMMARY:Achieving Women's Economic Empowerment - Innovative Models to Addressing Unpaid Care Work
DESCRIPTION:This side event addresses the persistent challenges hindering the achievement of SDGs\, particularly SDG5 and SDG8\, with a focus on unpaid care work’s critical role and grassroots institutions in the achievement of economic empowerment\, especially for women. Women shoulder a disproportionate share of care work responsibilities\, which leads to time poverty and limits their economic empowerment and public leadership opportunities as well as access to social protection services. Care is important for society\, for human development\, and for gender equality.  Panelists including SATHI\, a grassroots organization in Bangladesh\, the Government of Canada\, UNWOMEN\, the Republic of Senegal\, World Renew\, ACT Alliance\, and OCIC will share insights\, best practices\, and lessons learned from implementing women’s economic empowerment programs that seek to transform policies\, practices and social norms that can accelerate the achievement of gender equality and poverty eradication. We will also explore innovative models including people’s institutions as tools for social transformation and for bringing diverse voices and experiences\, including from young people\, on achieving women’s economic empowerment. \nClick here to register!

SUMMARY:La résilience des femmes\, des filles et des communautés face aux violences basées sur le genre
DESCRIPTION:Au cœur de ces périodes d’instabilité\, le prix payé par les femmes et les filles est double. Elles sont la cible de traitements dégradants et humiliants\, d’abus\, de maltraitance\, de violences sexuelles et autres formes de violences basées sur le genre (VBG)\, restant pour la plupart impunies. Ces VBG sont profondément enracinées dans les structures sociales et culturelles et le corps féminin devient lui-même un champ de bataille. \nLa violence sexuelle\, notamment le viol notamment\, est utilisée comme arme de guerre\, moyen de terreur et de domination. \nAlors que les violences sexuelles basées sur le genre constituent une question sécuritaire\, économique\, sociale\, sanitaire et de droits humains\, quels leviers de résilience sont mis en place par les femmes\, les filles et les communautés pour faire face à de telles violences ? \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Screening of SIRA
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by WaterAid on the sidelines of Canadian Partnership for Women and Children’s Health (CanWaCH)\, Healthy World Conference: Dialogues on Health\, Gender & Climate Resilience. \nMonday\, May 13th\, 2024 \nDoors open at 5 p.m. EDT for for hors d’oeuvres and refreshments \nFilm Screening at 6 p.m. EDT \nOmni Hotel Montreal\, Pierre de Coubertin Room1050 Sherbrooke Street West\, Montreal \nDiscussion to follow with Apolline Traore\, Burkinabée writer-director of SIRA \nApolline Traoré’s\, SIRA offers an unflinching look at the ongoing lawlessness and violence against women in the Sahel region of Northern Africa. \nThe story revolves around the figure of Sira\, a young bride-to-be crossing the desert when armed extremists attack and raid their nomadic village\, killing the men. Brutalized and then abandoned\, Sira begins another long journey across the arid landscape to return to her community. But the path she has chosen leads her right into the assailants’ camp. Refusing to surrender to circumstances\, she decides to remain near the camp\, living off the land and out of sight\, preparing for her moment to strike back. \nSIRA was presented at the Pan-African Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou (FESPACO) in Burkina Faso. The film was awarded a special prize by WaterAid for addressing the problem of access to water for women and girls in the Sahel\, in a context marked by climate change. Traoré also became a WaterAid Ambassador on WASH and Climate change. SIRA made its North American debut at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). \nClick here to register!

An effective advocacy campaign consists of several strategic components\, that together\, can effect change at national\, regional\, and international levels. In this session\, participants will learn to identify opportunities for policy change in different contexts\, and the tools to influence decision-making to bring about specific changes in global health. This will include an overview of advocacy\, key components to build high-impact campaigns in different settings\, working collaboratively with multiple stakeholders\, ways to communicate effectively with target audiences\, engaging parliamentarians and policymakers\, and campaigning through digital advocacy. The session will include relevant experts from different country contexts sharing their experiences advocating for healthy lives and human dignity for everyone\, everywhere. \nWe will utilize case studies that are global in nature and have guest speakers from a variety of countries so participants can be inspired about how they may apply advocacy in their own contexts and have a good understanding of the breadth of advocacy work that is happening around the world. \nOBJECTIVES\n– To foster a nuanced understanding of advocacy\, decision-making processes\, and translating evidence-based knowledge into policy action in global health\n– To equip participants with the ability to develop a step-by-step advocacy strategy – from developing an “ask” to identifying appropriate targets\, tactics and allies and measuring impact.\n– To explore and share different strategies\, tactics\, challenges and barriers to influence decision making in global health.\n– To encourage participants to apply advocacy using an anti-oppression and equity lens to their areas of work. \nTARGET AUDIENCE\n– Public health graduate students and faculty with an interest in global health advocacy\n– Health researchers and practitioners\n– Policymakers\, administrators\, and policy advisors\n– Community advocates and civil society
