SUMMARY:Midwives are Key to Climate Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Midwives are an essential climate solution. The increasing impacts of climate change have an outsized impact on maternal and newborn health\, as well as access to family planning and other vital health services. Midwives play a critical role in providing essential health services during climate-related disasters\, and in the context of the lasting impacts of climate change on health systems. \nHowever\, there remains a global shortage of midwives and a lack of investment and commitment to their training and support. The current global focus on climate change offers an opportune time to showcase the role of midwives as climate change champions and leaders in climate action. \nPlease join the Wilson Center’s Maternal Health Initiative\, in partnership with UNFPA\, for a virtual panel discussion on the role of midwives in building resilience to climate change. The event will highlight some innovative and adaptive strategies midwives have used when faced with extreme heat\, flooding\, and wildfires while caring for women and families. Speakers will also discuss policies and programming that are necessary to support midwives as frontline workers in areas affected by climate change. \nClick here to attend!

SUMMARY:Addressing adolescent health\, rights and gender-based violence in Central and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:On June 27\, 2024\, join us for the first event in a new IDRC webinar series entitled Thriving in Safety: Advancing adolescent health and rights and ending gender-based violence in Central and West Africa. Various experts will provide an overview of the evidence\, challenges and opportunities related to adolescents at the nexus of sexual and reproductive health and rights and gender-based violence in West and Central Africa. \nWith adolescents representing 23% of the population in Central and West Africa (the highest proportion of any region in world)\, it is crucial to address the challenges they face\, especially with regard to their health and safety. These challenges include child marriage\, early pregnancy\, gender-based violence (GBV)\, genital mutilation\, socio-economic vulnerability and mental health. GBV and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are interrelated. However\, a lack of evidence complicates the development of appropriate policies and programs to support the health and wellbeing of adolescents in the region. \nIn its 2016-2030 Health Strategy\, the African Union prioritizes access to comprehensive\, integrated sexual and reproductive services. Now more than ever\, a multi-stakeholder conversation must begin to move toward inclusive and equitable policies that take into account the drivers of SRHR and GBV through locally relevant knowledge and evidence. \nIDRC\, having funded numerous research projects over the past decade to enhance SRHR and tackle GBV in Central and West Africa\, recognizes the need for sustained dialogue and collaboration in this domain. \nOn the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the International Conference on Population and Development\, this webinar series will provide a platform for knowledge exchange\, showcasing experiences and fostering effective multi-stakeholder engagement in advancing adolescent SRHR and ending GBV in Central and West Africa. \nThe discussion will be hosted in English and French with simultaneous interpretation. \nRegister now and join our speakers for the inaugural webinar in the series to learn about the current regional landscape of adolescent SRHR and GBV in Central and West Africa.
