SUMMARY:Incubator on Menstrual Equity
DESCRIPTION:Menstrual inequity affects people all over the world\, including people in Canada. There is a critical need to address this issue because menstrual equity is an integral element to achieve gender equality for all. Period poverty\, taboos and stigma and lack of adequate sanitation infrastructure are just a few examples of how menstrual inequity undermines the health\, rights and wellbeing of individuals across Canada. \nIn the lead-up to Menstrual Hygiene Day\, join the Equal Futures Network on May 14\, in our inaugural Incubator session where we unpack these inequities with organizations from across Canada to brainstorm ideas\, share challenges and forge a way to move forward.  In partnership\, we can eliminate industry silos and regional disconnect to create a collaborative and unified collective working to advance equality in menstrual health and hygiene management across Canada.

Now as they face a surge in human rights violations\, they’re providing vital health and legal support while advocating for their communities. They’ve built extensive peer networks that allow them to reach and support LGBTIQ community members who are most vulnerable to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic\, and to ensure that people living with HIV have the support they need to adhere to treatment during this global crisis. \nFor more information about Partners in Pride\, please contact slfpride@stephenlewisfoundation.org \nwww.stephenlewisfoundation.org/partners-in-pride \nClick here to subscribe to our e-newsletter for updates and future events.

SUMMARY:Reclaim the Gains: Don’t let COVID-19 turn back progress on the health of women\, children and adolescents.
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nThe COVID-19 crisis is reversing years of hard-won gains in women\, children and adolescent health.

SUMMARY:The Essentials of Results-based Management & Theory of Change during and post COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:In six 3.5 hour online sessions\, we will show you how to: \n\nMASTER RBM online digital tools in the workplace in an interactive & participatory way with your stakeholders;\nDEVELOP a systems thinking around RBM;\nAPPLY RBM at an organizational\, programme and/or project level;\nDESIGN a logic model and Performance Measurement framework using a free\, online software and participatory format that you can use in the workplace with your teams;\nDEVELOP and EXPLAIN the Theory of Change behind your logic model;\nADAPT your program design and performance measurement plans in light of COVID-19 & major disruptions;\nWRITE a Results-based Report.\n\nWhy You Should Attend \nCOVID-19 is upending our daily lives and how we typically work.  This can provide both challenges & opportunities. There is a need to retool\, retrofit and adapt current and future programmes to better respond both in the short and long term to shocks\, stresses and health hazards. This workshop will help you to more effectively design\, monitor and evaluate your programs to face various layers & structures of adversity: climate crisis\, pandemics like COVID-19\, and growing structural inequities that exacerbate vulnerabilities. \nThis Zoom comprehensive online workshop will focus on how to deal with COVID-19 impacts in real time in the way you design\, manage\, monitor\, evaluate and report on your initiatives. The workshop will help you deal better with disruption\, uncertainty and significant change so that you and your organization are more resilient and better at anticipating and adapting to disruption in the future. We will focus on real time case studies drawn from workshop participants to learn the essentials of results-based management. Together we will have an opportunity to reflect\, retrofit and adapt our programming and our monitoring and evaluation work in light of COVID-19. Understanding the gendered impacts of COVID 19 will also be addressed with strategies that seek social transformation in gender relations in order to achieve greater gender equality.

SUMMARY:A Successful Marriage: Research-CSO partnerships delivering practical solutions
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Canadian Collaborative for Global Health\, participating projects (‘Labs’) worked in interdisciplinary partnerships with the objective of addressing an urgent data challenge. A key learning from this initiative is that these intersectional partnerships are ideally placed to address many critical issues\, but are not without their challenges. \nIn this 1 hour dialogue\, participants from the Labs will discuss: \n– What are principles of equitable partnership\, and how might this be measured?\n– Are there certain types of work to which research-CSO collaborations are uniquely suited?\n– How can we practically balance the multiple priorities of partners\, particularly when they are in conflict with each other?\n– How do we work equitably with global research and CSO partners\, recognizing power structures which have traditionally undervalued local expertise? \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Assessing Canada's Women\, Peace and Security Agenda
DESCRIPTION:A growing body of research makes the links between the security of women and the security of states. In fact\, the very best predictor of a state’s peacefulness is not its level of wealth\, its level of democracy\, or its ethno-religious identity; the best predictor of a state’s peacefulness is how well its women are treated.\n\nCanada’s second five-year National Action Plan on Women\, Peace and Security drew on both research like this and on core Canadian values of respect for human rights\, equality and inclusion. Launched in November 2017\, the plan is now more than halfway through its implementation period.\n\nWhere is progress being made\, what’s changing\, what are the challenges? How is Canada addressing these issues\, what are we learning\, and what are the priorities for the next few years?\n\nTo explore these questions\, join the CIC National Capital Branch and WPSN-C (Women\, Peace and Security Network – Canada) on March 30 for a webinar discussion featuring: Colleen Duggan\, Senior Strategist at the International Development Centre (IDRC)\, Wazhma Frogh\, Peace & Conflict Practitioner & Mediator\, Jacqueline O’Neill\, Canada’s first Ambassador for Women\, Peace\, and Security\, and Beth Woroniuk\, the Policy Lead at the Equality Fund and chair of the Women\, Peace and Security Network-Canada. Elizabeth Kingston\, President of the CIC National Capital Branch\, will introduce this session\, which will be moderated by Zoe Dugal\, Deputy Director of CANADEM.

SUMMARY:Universal home visits empower households to protect maternal and child health
DESCRIPTION:Description: Women and children in Nigeria continue to face high risks of illness and death. A five-year project in Bauchi State\, Northern Nigeria\, implemented universal home visits to pregnant women and their spouses and measured the impact on maternal and child health outcomes. The visits were different in several key ways: they were universal\, covering all households in participating wards; they shared evidence about risk factors that households could act on themselves; and they involved men. \nOn March 25th\, from 2:30 pm to 4 pm GMT\, this webinar will present findings and implications of the project. The visits led to improved maternal and child health outcomes\, and improved attitudes and actions among men. The households also reduced risk factors like heavy work in pregnancy and domestic violence. All this happened without increased use of health facilities. This has important implications for other areas with high maternal and child mortality and limited access to quality services from health facilities. The Bauchi State government has committed to rollout the home visits across the State\, as funding allows. \nLearn more from the IMCHA research team “Video Edutainment: Impact on Maternal and Infant Outcomes in Toro\, Nigeria”. This webinar is co-organised with IMCHA’s West Africa Health Policy and Research Organisation. The event will also be available in French. \nRegister here
