SUMMARY:Achieving Women's Economic Empowerment - Innovative Models to Addressing Unpaid Care Work
DESCRIPTION:This side event addresses the persistent challenges hindering the achievement of SDGs\, particularly SDG5 and SDG8\, with a focus on unpaid care work’s critical role and grassroots institutions in the achievement of economic empowerment\, especially for women. Women shoulder a disproportionate share of care work responsibilities\, which leads to time poverty and limits their economic empowerment and public leadership opportunities as well as access to social protection services. Care is important for society\, for human development\, and for gender equality.  Panelists including SATHI\, a grassroots organization in Bangladesh\, the Government of Canada\, UNWOMEN\, the Republic of Senegal\, World Renew\, ACT Alliance\, and OCIC will share insights\, best practices\, and lessons learned from implementing women’s economic empowerment programs that seek to transform policies\, practices and social norms that can accelerate the achievement of gender equality and poverty eradication. We will also explore innovative models including people’s institutions as tools for social transformation and for bringing diverse voices and experiences\, including from young people\, on achieving women’s economic empowerment. \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:Gender Transformative Programming in Health: Experiences in Engaging Men and Faith Leaders
DESCRIPTION:Join CanWaCH’s Gender Equality Working Group on Monday\, February 7 from 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. EST to dive into the experiences of three organizations sharing lessons learned on gender transformative programming in the health sector.  \nSpeakers will highlight several approaches with a specific focus on engaging men/boys and faith/traditional leaders as critical actors in transforming harmful gender norms and promoting positive masculinities.  \nPlan International Canada\, World Renew and World Vision Canada will each share case studies of these approaches in action – what was learned and what led to success.

SUMMARY:Accelerating Global Efforts to Reduce Gender-Based Violence: Unleashing the influence of the church and other faith-based organizations to address the hidden pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Increasingly\, governments and multilateral agencies including the UN are recognizing the church and religious organizations as critical partners in addressing GBV. \nOn the eve of this year’s 16 days of activism\, join World Renew & the CRCNA for the launch of a GBV advocacy guide and a 45-minute dialogue on how concerted efforts to address GBV can be strengthened by tapping on the influence of the church and other faith-based organizations. \nOur Keynote speaker will be Dr.Elaine Storkey\, a globally renowned author and theologian on Gender and Gender-Based Violence. Elaine was the president of Tearfund UK for 17 years where she focused on the issues women face across the world. She has authored award-winning books\, including Scars Across Humanity: Understanding and Overcoming Violence Against Women\, published in 2015. We will also hear from World Renew’s co-directors and other International development actors. \n(Guests are invited to stay for an extra 30 minutes Q&A with Dr. Elaine at the end).
