SUMMARY:Lucky Iron Fish Lunch & Learn with CanWaCH
DESCRIPTION:Lucky Iron Fish is hosting a digital lunch and learn session to showcase their latest data and research on the use of the Lucky Iron Fish to address iron deficiency anemia. Lucky Iron Fish offers a novel tool for iron deficiency anemia and provides in-depth training and resources for program implementation. Over the past 4 years\, Lucky Iron Fish has partnered with organizations including CARE\, Action Against Hunger\, World Vision and Catholic Relief Services and has worked with partners to deliver programs in Benin\, Tanzania\, Senegal\, Guatemala\, Peru and India. Most recently\, Lucky Iron Fish has conducted and completed several trials and pilots and received funding from Canadian Fund for Local Initiatives (India) and The Fund for Innovation and Transformation (with CARE in Benin). Please join us for an interactive 1 hour session\, space will be provided for questions and discussion.\n\nAbout the company: Lucky Iron Fish is a Canadian social enterprise and B-Corp dedicated to preventing and addressing iron deficiency around the globe. The economic impact of iron deficiency is clear\, contributing to a over $70B annual global GDP loss\, and an estimated 20% decrease in women’s earning potential. Impacting mostly women and children\, iron deficiency causes nausea\, fatigue\, fainting\, headaches\, and hair loss. Iron deficiency also restricts cognitive and physical development in children. To address this massive global challenge\, Lucky Iron Fish created the Lucky Iron Fish (and Leaf). The Fish/Leaf is a culturally sensitive\, scientifically proven innovation to fortify meals with natural iron and reduce the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia. Clinical work on the Fish has been published by independent academic institutions to demonstrate its safety\, efficacy\, and impact. Preparing meals or boiling water with the Fish/Leaf and a few drops of citrus/acid for 10 minutes releases a consistent amount (6-8mg) of iron that fortifies the meal. Feedback and other assessments indicate that the iron does not affect the taste or color of the food and no side-effects have been reported. The Fish/Leaf are designed to appeal to the end-user to improve compliance. As a result\, compliance levels have been shown to be high (>85%) in many places. Cooking with the Lucky Iron Fish/Leaf is safe and effective and can be used by a family of up to five people for five years. Therefore\, not only are the Fish/Leaf simple to use\, but they are affordable and sustainable. Lucky Iron Fish offers discounted pricing to NGOs\, Charities\, Foundations\, and Corporate CSR programs in order to make the Fish/Leaf accessible to communities around the world.\n\nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Introducing Designing Digital Dialogue: Communications for Systems Change!
DESCRIPTION:In recent months\, we’ve heard our members share the complexities and challenges of engaging communities and harnessing the power of social media to amplify their social impact. \nThe Equal Futures Network​\, a CanWaCH​ initiative\, has been working with the team and community at the On Canada Project​ to design a resource that helps leaders\, communications practitioners\, and social media managers level up their digital communications and public engagement strategies. We are excited to introduce Designing Digital Dialogue: Communications for Systems Change​! \nTo support your learning journey\, join us on September 20 at 2 p.m. EDT for an interactive 90 minute webinar led by Gina Uppal and Sam Krishnapillai from the On Canada Project. This webinar will highlight the goals of the toolkit\, and participants will receive a detailed walkthrough of the materials\, a personalized learning plan\, and opportunity to connect with other community members undergoing this work. \nDidn’t receive your code? Please email efn-rae@canwach.ca. \nThis webinar will take place in English with simultaneous interpretation in English and French in order for registrants to participate in the language of their choice. \nPlease note that the French version of the training modules and resources are in technical production and will be available for the official launch of the course in October. \nThis project has been supported by Women and Gender Equality Canada and Global Affairs Canada. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Addressing urban disparities in sexual and reproductive health and rights
DESCRIPTION:Engage with the Population Council and invited experts from UN-Habitat\, PSI\, and the African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) in a panel discussion regarding urban disparities in SRHR\, and the challenges and opportunities for leveraging the urban context to tackle these disparities. \nSexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are a critical component of ensuring that all people\, and particularly women and girls\, lead healthy and productive lives. Significant inequities in key SRHR outcomes are observed across many demographic and social indicators\, including urban residence. Urban environments and populations are extremely diverse with regard to their socio-demographic makeup\, economic status\, access to key infrastructure and services\, social norms and preferences. While a growing body of research highlights this variation in SRHR outcomes within and across cities\, a focus on individual level characteristics fails to capture a fully comprehensive view of urban SRHR risks and needs. \nOur webinar will convene experts to discuss ways to improve SRHR outcomes in the urban context\, specifically neighborhood or structural challenges\, measurement and data issues\, and current gaps to help define a comprehensive research agenda moving forward. \n\nRegister here
