SUMMARY:Webinar Wednesdays: Suing for Silence- Sexual Violence and Defamation Law in Canada
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, August 6th\, as the AVA Webinar Series presents Suing for Silence: Sexual Violence and Defamation Law in Canada\, featuring Dr. Mandi Gray from Trent University. \nWednesday\, August 6th\, 2025 \n12 – 1:30pm MST \nMandi Gray’s book Suing for Silence critically examines how abusive men can use defamation lawsuits as a weapon against anyone who attempts to hold them accountable. In Canada\, formal reports to the police or other institutions such as universities are not protected from lawsuits for defamation or malicious prosecution. Advocates and lawyers who specialize in sexual violence have noted a rise in the use of civil legal action by men accused of sexual violence within the last decade. In this talk\, Dr. Gray will use examine critical feminist perspective to explain how the failure for institutions such as police and the courts to respond to reports of sexual violence can make survivors and their supporters vulnerable to retaliatory lawsuits. She argues that if these lawsuits are to continue\, we will risk witnessing the disappearance of sexual violence discourse and is yet another barrier to consider before making a formal report. \nAbout the Speaker \nDr. Mandi Gray is an assistant professor at Trent University in the Sociology department. Mandi has worked with women and girls involved in the legal system since 2008. Suing for Silence is her first book. She is also the primary subject and impact producer of the 2018 documentary film Slut or Nut The Diary of a Rape Trial. Her work has appeared in publications including Toronto Star\, CBC\, Globe and Mail and Toronto Life. Mandi is originally from Winnipeg but has called Toronto home since 2013\, where she lives with her sassy little dog CeCe. www.mandigray.com \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Localization as a Tool for Change: The importance of leading from the ground up for refugee and IDP education and advocacy 
DESCRIPTION:With global cuts to humanitarian and development aid at a time when the need for funding has never been greater\, how can we ensure the needs of refugees and internally displaced people are met\, especially when it comes to education? Girls who receive an education have more opportunities to reach their full potential. They live healthier lives\, wait longer to start a family\, usually have fewer children\, and are more likely to ensure their children attend school. Local organizations supporting refugees and internally displaced people are working on the frontline to provide essential educational services to fill this gap\, but more assistance and resources are needed to expand their formidable efforts. Localization calls us to shift power to local actors and that includes centering the knowledge and leadership of refugee communities themselves\, especially women and girls\, who are often the most affected yet least heard. \n\n\n\n\n\nOxfam Canada will be in conversation with our Geared for Success partners to highlight the importance of localized\, gender-responsive education initiatives for refugees and internally displaced people\, especially women and girls. Hear directly from those working in South Sudan and Uganda on how they navigate ensuring a community-led and driven approach is taken in their work and advocacy.\nSpeakers:\n \n\nAmer Ruben Nhial\, Roving Gender Officer\, Oxfam South Sudan\nCleto Ireneo Kunda\, Executive Director\, Hope Agency for Relief and Development (HARD)\nNubuhoro Dinah\, Geared for Success Project Officer\, RELON Uganda\n\nAttend here!

SUMMARY:Webinar Wednesdays: Respect for Self\, Others\, and Place- A Parsimonious Framework to Promote Health and Well-Being
DESCRIPTION:The ongoing reports of emotional exhaustion in caring professionals provide compelling evidence that innovative preventive efforts to foster well-being are needed now more than ever. The “Tri-Respect Framework” that promotes respect for self\, others\, and place provides a simple and instrumental tool for health of individuals\, relationships\, and communities in general. In this webinar\, we will review the origin of the “Tri-Respect Framework” and highlight the findings of a recent pilot study with nursing faculty that explored the practicality of this tool\, in particular\, the component of “respect for self” to increase commitment to self-care in nursing students and faculty. Findings illustrate enthusiasm for the utility of the “Tri-Respect Framework” not only on an individual level but as a framework for examining systems-level factors that impact the well-being of caring professionals. \nAbout the Speakers \nDr. Christine Divin is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Nursing at the University of Texas at Austin. A nurse since 1976\, her passion for teaching was shaped by 17 years working with health promoters in marginalized communities across Latin America and along the U.S./Mexico border. She earned her MSN in 1997 from the University of Texas at El Paso and later her PhD from UT Austin in 2015\, focusing on intimate partner violence and factors that promote health in adversity. \nFrom 2010 to 2024\, Dr. Divin served as a Family Nurse Practitioner in a Central Texas clinic for uninsured patients\, also caring for IPV survivors at a local shelter. She has taught FNP students at UT Austin since 2016 and currently serves on wellness committees at both the school and state level. Her current work centers on innovative approaches to well-being in nursing\, including the “Tri-Respect Framework\,” and she encourages students to prioritize self-care as essential to caregiving. \nDr. Steve Crow is a graduate of the Plan II Honors Program at The University of Texas at Austin and earned his M.D. from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio in 1991. After completing his internship at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth and his Family Medicine residency (now Dell Medical School’s program)\, he has been a licensed physician in Texas since 1992. Since 1998\, he has focused his practice exclusively on community health and HIV primary care in Austin. \nDr. Crow’s work is grounded in a lifelong commitment to respect\, first explored during his undergraduate studies. He developed the “tri-respect” framework—respect for self\, others\, and place—and advocates for disempowering abuse\, fostering honest and equal dialogue\, and promoting compassionate care. He believes that a mutually respectful society is essential to addressing both social and environmental challenges. \nAttend here!

SUMMARY:Co-créer l’avenir de la santé sexuelle et reproductive et de la santé maternelle\, néonatale et infantile: Dialogues entre recherche et acteurs de terrain
DESCRIPTION:*This event will be hosted in French only / Cet événement sera uniquement en français \nMalgré des objectifs communs\, les collaborations entre les différents acteurs de terrain tels que les OSC et les milieux de recherche restent souvent fragmentées ou déséquilibrées dans le secteur de la santé mondiale\, plus particulièrement en matière de santé sexuelle et reproductive et de santé maternelle\, néonatale et infantile. Des écarts persistent entre la production de connaissances et leur mise en pratique sur le terrain\, posant des défis en matière de circulation\, d’adaptation et de mobilisation des savoirs. \nCet atelier se veut une réponse directe à ces enjeux. Il offrira un espace entièrement participatif où acteurs de terrain et membres travaillant dans la recherche pourront exprimer leurs besoins\, partager leur expertise et co-construire des pistes concrètes d’action. Cette rencontre vise à renforcer la compréhension mutuelle et à imaginer de nouvelles formes de collaboration. \nEntièrement francophone\, cet événement s’inscrit dans l’engagement du CanSFE à valoriser nos membres et partenaires francophones et à leur offrir un espace dédié au sein de ses efforts de dialogue\, de réflexion stratégique et d’action. \nAgenda: \nUne journée interactive (avec possibilité d’activités en soirée)\, comprenant notamment: \n\n3 ateliers participatifs:\nLes besoins du terrain: Ce que les organisations d’interventions attendent de la recherche\nLes chercheur.e.s prennent la parole\nRéflexion et Co-création : ” Quelles sont les prochaines étapes ? “\nMur d’idées participatif pour identifier ensemble les ponts à construire entre recherche et pratique\n\nAttend here!

SUMMARY:Reproductive Justice without Borders
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for an important conversation! We’ll give you more details later – are you ready! \n\nAcross the Americas\, reproductive justice movements are built not just through protests or policy win but through the everyday\, behind-the-scenes labor of organizers\, researchers\, and communities working across borders. \n\nIn Latin America\, this work is rooted in decades of transnational feminist dialogue. VITAL is documenting those strategies—so that we can learn from each other\, strengthen our movements\, and build justice that lasts. \n\nWe will have simultaneous interpretation in English and Spanish. \nAttend here!

SUMMARY:Disappearing Data: Implications and Actions for Global Health in a New Era - Webinar 2
DESCRIPTION:The data landscape is changing. In February 2025\, the Demographic Health Survey (DHS) Program\, a major source of demographic and health data in many countries\, saw its funding discontinued. This means that the program no longer enables new data collection\, funds data analyses\, publishes reports\, facilitates dissemination activities\, or supports capacity strengthening efforts in more than 25 countries globally. Increasingly\, partners are wondering about the vulnerability of global health data sources\, at the same time as there are increasing concerns about data privacy and how information may be used. In response\, CanWaCH is hosting a two-part discussion series\, which will be followed by a collection of resources and tools for partners interested in and affected by these changes. \nThis webinar will zoom out to present the larger demographic health data landscape and ecosystem. This will include an overview of what remains from the DHS Program\, and how gaps might be addressed. External guest speakers will be invited to share their perspectives on how demographic health data systems might be reimagined\, focused on themes of cost efficiencies\, data quality\, sustainability and local ownership. This conversation will build on the June 11th webinar and support members to identify relevant next steps. \nAttend here!

SUMMARY:From Aid to Action ACIC Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Foreign aid is facing deep uncertainty. Powerful nations are cutting Overseas Development Assistance (ODA)\, threatening global solidarity and long-standing partnerships for justice\, climate action\, and gender equality. ACIC’s 2025 Symposium\, From Aid to Action\, is a space to reflect\, connect\, and act.\n\n\n\nAs ACIC marks 50 years of solidarity and global cooperation\, we bring together civil society leaders\, youth\, policymakers\, and private sector stakeholders to ask: \n\n\nWhat is the role of foreign aid in advancing global equity and justice? \n\n\nHow can we navigate shifting political landscapes to sustain and diversify funding? \n\n\nHow do we prioritize localized\, long-term solutions? \n\n\nJoin us in Halifax on June 18-19\, 2025\, at Saint Mary’s University\, where we will explore lessons from history and pathways to action. In times of uncertainty\, we look back to move forward—learning from the past to shape a just and interconnected future. \nAttend here!

SUMMARY:Empowered Worldview: Evidence of Faith-based Programming on Mindsets and Child Well-being in Rural Tanzania
DESCRIPTION:Can faith-based mindset shifts improve child health outcomes? Join World Vision Canada and the Joint Learning Initiative on Faith & Local Communities to explore new evidence from a multi-year\, mixed-methods study on the Empowered Worldview program\, highlighting its impacts on hope\, self-efficacy and well-being in rural Tanzania. \nFrom 2019 to 2024\, World Vision International partnered with researchers from the University of Alberta and the Ifakara Health Institute in Tanzania to study the impact of the Empowered Worldview (EWV) program\, a faith-based behaviour change model that fosters spiritual renewal and mindset transformation. Conducted in two rural districts in Tanzania\, this mixed-methods research tested the EWV Theory of Change. \nProgram leaders\, along with researchers from the University of Alberta\, will present qualitative and quantitative insights\, highlighting the EWV model’s positive influence on hope\, self-efficacy\, self-reliance and child well-being. The event will also examine how faith\, household income and food security shaped participants’ experiences of change. \n“Empowered Worldview is a fascinating instance of how spiritual renewal can be paired with livelihood transformation as people build better futures for their children and their communities” ~ Dr. Amy Kaler\, University of Alberta\, Professor of Sociology
