SUMMARY:Femmes et filles en situation de handicap : l'aide publique au développement à la croisée des chemins du handicap et du genre
DESCRIPTION:*Event is offered in French only \nDans le cadre de la Semaine du développement international\, Humanité & Inclusion (HI) Canada\, en collaboration avec l’Association québécoise des organismes de coopération internationale (AQOCI)\, organise le jeudi 8 février prochain de 11h à 12h (UTC-5) un webinaire intitulé « Femmes et filles en situation de handicap : l’aide publique au développement à la croisée des chemins du handicap et du genre ». \nComme le mentionne la Note d’information du même nom corédigé par Dawn Canada\, HI Canada et le Living Well Research Centre\, les femmes et les filles en situation de handicap sont rarement prises en compte ou spécifiquement visées par les investissements liés à l’aide humanitaire et au développement. Elles sont aussi trop peu reconnues par le mouvement des droits des femmes : en témoigne l’absence de référence explicite des femmes et des filles en situation de handicap dans la Convention sur l’élimination de toutes les formes de discrimination à l’égard des femmes. \nDans le cadre du webinaire\, les panélistes invitées exploreront les différents aspects liés à ces enjeux. Il sera animé par Michèle Asselin\, directrice générale de l’AQOCI.  \nLes panélistes sont :\n– Dieynaba Diallo\, vice-présidente de Femmes Droit et Développem (FeDDAF) Sénégal et coordonnatrice de la Coalition régionale du FeDDAF\, organisation participant à l’initiative Making it Work mise en œuvre par Humanité & Inclusion\n– Nicole Nyangolo Ndamuso\, coordonnatrice régionale de Concertation des Collectifs des Associations Féminines de la Région des Grands-Lacs pour le programme «Éducation des filles pour un avenir meilleur dans la région des Grands Lacs» mis en œuvre avec le consortium Fondation Paul Gérin-Lajoie et CECI\n– Nancy Saint-Louis\, chercheuse pour le projet «Genre\, handicap et développement inclusif» du Live Work Well Research Centre et candidate au doctorat \nAnne Delorme\, directrice générale de HI Canada\, conclura avec les recommandations de la Note d’information.  \nClick here to register!

SUMMARY:Who has power? Agency in Development and Justice
DESCRIPTION:Join World Renew\, Citizens for Public Justice (CPJ)\, and International Justice Mission (IJM) Canada on February 7 at Redeemer University. Learn how our programs are removing barriers to agency and contributing to holistic community development. \nInspired by our faith\, we believe that our international development activities must acknowledge and honour the unique image of God in each person involved. In relation to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals\, this means that all efforts must continue to centre the agency of the individuals and communities most impacted by injustice and inequality.   \n– World Renew as a Sponsorship Agreement Holder with the Canadian government\, will be highlighting its experience partnering with individuals and Constituent Groups across Canada to support refugees overseas to resettle in Canada.\n– IJM seeks to end the everyday violences that violates human rights and prevents sustainable development. IJM will highlight why every intervention to combat human trafficking\, forced labour\, sexual abuse\, and gender-based violence must be trauma-informed and survivor-led.\n– CPJ as a national policy advocacy organization works to center public justice in policy debates. CPJ will highlight how its work on refugee and migrant rights  – such as campaigns to end immigration detention and securing healthcare access for all regardless of immigration status – aims to strengthen the agency of those who migrate or seek asylum in Canada.  \nClick here to register!

SUMMARY:International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation
DESCRIPTION:Female genital mutilation (FGM) comprises all procedures that involve altering or injuring the female genitalia for non-medical reasons and is recognized internationally as a violation of the human rights\, the health and the integrity of girls and women. \nGirls who undergo female genital mutilation face short-term complications such as severe pain\, shock\, excessive bleeding\, infections\, and difficulty in passing urine\, as well as long-term consequences for their sexual and reproductive health and mental health. \nAlthough primarily concentrated in 30 countries in Africa and the Middle East\, female genital mutilation is a universal problem and is also practiced in some countries in Asia and Latin America. Female genital mutilation continues to persist amongst immigrant populations living in Western Europe\, North America\, Australia and New Zealand. \nTo promote the elimination of female genital mutilation\, coordinated and systematic efforts are needed\, and they must engage whole communities and focus on human rights\, gender equality\, sexual education and attention to the needs of women and girls who suffer from its consequences. \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:Safe Pregnancy and Birth for All: Addressing Racism in Reproductive Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:? Monday\, January 29\, 2024 at 12:00-1:00pm ET. \n? Simultaneous French interpretation will be available. \nMost maternal deaths are entirely preventable\, yet today still almost 800 women die a day globally from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth.

SUMMARY:International Day of Women and Girls in Science
DESCRIPTION:Science and gender equality are both vital for the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals\, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Over the past 15 years\, the global community has made a lot of effort in inspiring and engaging women and girls in science. Yet women and girls continue to be excluded from participating fully in science. \nAt present\, less than 30 per cent of researchers worldwide are women. According to UNESCO data (2014 – 2016)\, only around 30 per cent of all female students select STEM-related fields in higher education. Globally\, female students’ enrolment is particularly low in ICT (3 per cent)\, natural science\, mathematics and statistics (5 per cent) and in engineering\, manufacturing and construction (8 per cent). \nLong-standing biases and gender stereotypes are steering girls and women away from science related fields. As in the real world\, the world on screen reflects similar biases—the 2015 Gender Bias Without Borders study by the Geena Davis Institute showed that of the onscreen characters with an identifiable STEM job\, only 12 per cent were women. \nIn order to achieve full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls\, and further achieve gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls\, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution A/RES/70/212 declaring 11 February as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.

SUMMARY:International Migrants Day
DESCRIPTION:Throughout human history\, migration has been a courageous expression of the individual’s will to overcome adversity and to live a better life. Today\, globalization\, together with advances in communications and transportation\, has greatly increased the number of people\, who have the desire and the capacity to move to other places. \nThis new era has created challenges and opportunities for societies throughout the world. It also has served to underscore the clear linkage between migration and development\, as well as the opportunities it provides for co-development\, that is\, the concerted improvement of economic and social conditions at both origin and destination. \nMigration draws increasing attention in the world nowadays. Mixed with elements of unforeseeability\, emergency\, and complexity\, the challenges and difficulties of international migration require enhanced cooperation and collective action among countries and regions. The United Nations is actively playing a catalyst role in this area\, with the aim of creating more dialogues and interactions within countries and regions\, as well as propelling experience exchange and collaboration opportunities.

SUMMARY:Child Marriage Roundtable: Unpacking Gender Violence
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, 12 million girls are married before they turn 18. That is 22 girls every minute whose childhood\, dreams and education are cut short. The numbers are almost unfathomable: 650 million women and girls alive today were married as children – some organizations put this number as high as 700 million\, or just under 10% of the global population. \nJoin us on Thursday\, December 7th at 10:00 a.m. ET for a roundtable discussion with a panel of industry experts as we discuss this tragic form of gender-based violence. \nThere are many factors at play when a child ends up in an early or forced marriage. Most commonly\, girls from marginalized communities\, often in fragile or conflict-affected settings are the most at risk with poverty\, gender inequality\, tradition\, limited access to education and socially normalized perceptions of protection all contributing to what is at its core\, a fundamental violation of human rights. \nClick here to register!
