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: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

SUMMARY:Women and Water: On the frontline of climate change
DESCRIPTION:Climate change impacts us all – with the immediate effects most often felt through water insecurity. So why\, we ask\, is only 3% of climate finance dedicated to water-related adaptation? As 2030 fast approaches\, the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets on water and sanitation are still distant hopes\, and water insecurity is growing as the climate crisis becomes a reality for billions of people. As stewards of water\, women and girls confront the impacts of climate change every day yet lack decision making power to influence climate finance commitments to water security. These impacts are deepening the devastating impact of widespread gender inequality in our changing climate. We ask our policy makers and leaders to prioritise investment in gender transformative water security at COP27 and to commit to the clear actions defined in this webinar. \nThe webinar will include statements and presentations to demonstrate water security evidence\, WASH as a pathway for gender equality\, and the essential element of gender responsive climate finance that includes investment in water\, sanitation\, and hygiene. Breakout groups will discuss 5 calls to action as we finalize a Joint Statement for endorsement in lead up to COP27. Please join the dialogue! Note the plenary session will have interpretation in French and English. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Women\, Life\, Freedom: Global Implications of the Women-Led Uprising in Iran
DESCRIPTION:The women’s uprising in Iran has captivated the world. The death of Mahsa Amini in government custody in September sparked protests all over Iran. What started out as a spontaneous women’s resistance has grown and evolved into a sustained cross-sectoral movement calling not only for reform of repressive policies in relation to women\, but for structural changes in society. \nJoin us for an event addressing the situation in Iran and its global implications. We will have a panel discussion consisting of Iranian women who will offer an analysis of the uprising in Iran\, followed by another panel of women active in the women’s movements across different regions who will discuss the global implications of this women-led uprising. The event will showcase how feminists from around the world are working together to build global solidarity in their advocacy for structural change. A dedicated conversation will be held with UN Women senior leadership as part of the event to discuss and present key feminist asks from the NGO CSWs in the Regions and other global women’s movements. Finally\, we will discuss concrete steps for building global solidarity for feminist advocacy purposes. \nThis event is presented by the NGO CSWs in the Regions and sponsored by The New York Women’s Foundation and Iranian American Women’s Foundation\, in partnership with UN Women. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:The International Conference on Family Planning
DESCRIPTION:Since the first ICFP in Kampala\, Uganda in 2009\, the International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP) has served as a strategic inflection point for the global reproductive health community\, providing a global stage for countries\, organizations\, and individuals to make important commitments and celebrate achievements as the world’s largest scientific conference on family planning and reproductive health. \nICFP has become much more than a conference – it has grown into a platform for researchers\, advocates\, governments and communities; a movement towards achieving access to family planning for all; and a growing community guided by the spirit of partnership\, inclusivity\, innovation and scientific rigor. \nAs the larger family planning community looks “beyond 2020” to realign our goals and reposition for the future of family planning\, ICFP 2022 will be a strategic benchmark as the community prepares to recommit to a goal of universal access by 2030. \n\nRegister here
