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: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. Despite global gains\, recent research from UNFPA highlights that maternal mortality has in fact risen in the Americas by about 15% and birthing people of African descent are notably overrepresented. \nTaking a reproductive justice approach\, this virtual panel will explore the causes and consequences of these racial disparities in reproductive healthcare\, identifying effective strategies to eradicate inequalities and ensure quality healthcare for all. \nClick here to register!
