SUMMARY:Culturally Competent Engagement Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The nature of our sector is to engage in power dynamics often without cultural competency or care and historically that has had devastating effects. In the age of localization and more organization wanting to meaningful good\, rewrite narratives\, and re-think these power dynamics what it means to and how do we engage with communities centered around respect and care. How do we remain malleable to the complexities of navigating the effects of deep colonial trauma and how do we build sustainable structures that benefit first and foremost the most marginalized. \nDon’t miss our second sector wide session on Culturally Competent Engagement! \nRegister now!

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:ARC Hub Finance Training
DESCRIPTION:The capacity to effect change in a capitalist society is founded on the ability to resource the system change process. We have heard often that funders\, financial resources\, financial structures and prioritization pose barriers to building the steps to more anti-racist and decolonial organizations. We are so excited to have VIDEA joining us again\, this time to share what they have done to effect change in their internal processes to make different possibilities matter. \nJoin us again as we explore the ways and that we can come together and build more sustainable and equitable futures. \nRegister here!

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!

SUMMARY:Addressing Gender Equality in a Cross-Cutting Way through International Short-Term Technical Assistance
DESCRIPTION:This event brings together a panel of Canadian experts (CEs) deployed by the TAP-EDM team around the world who specialize in gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) projects. \nThrough the Technical Assistance Partnership (TAP) implementation\, we will explore how Canada is strengthening international government systems\, addressing gender equality in a cross-cutting way. \nHow does Canadian expertise contribute to improving gender equality around the world? Our panel of experts will provide examples of how gender responsiveness is included as part of core planning and policy and adapted to an international development context. \nWe will identify a few cross-cutting themes related to gender equality and inclusion such as: Canada’s widely recognized Gender Based Analysis Plus (GBA+) approach and its implementation in diverse contexts\, promoting LGBTQi rights\, as well as exploring gender-based budgeting initiatives. \nMore information on the TAP-EDM global initiatives. \nTo register for the webinar please click on this Zoom Link.
