SUMMARY:Feminist Approaches to 'Localization'
DESCRIPTION:Oxfam Canada is on a journey to apply a feminist approach to all its work – both in terms of outcomes and ways of working. Applying feminist principles requires us to rethink current ways of working in the international aid sector. This session will unpack how ‘localization’ is part and parcel of an intersectional feminist approach. Drawing on its interviews with local women’s rights actors working across the humanitarian-development-peace nexus\, and on its experience supporting the leadership of local women’s rights organizations in its international programming\, Oxfam will share reflections and lessons learned on this crucial topic.

SUMMARY:Journée internationale de tolérance zéro à l’égard des mutilations génitales féminines
DESCRIPTION:Les mutilations génitales féminines (MGF) recouvrent l’ensemble des interventions qui consistent à altérer ou à léser les organes génitaux de la femme pour des raisons non médicales. Elles sont considérées au niveau international comme étant une violation des droits humains des femmes et des filles\, notamment de leurs droits à la santé\, à la sécurité et à l’intégrité physique\, ainsi que de leur droit à la vie lorsque ces pratiques ont des conséquences mortelles. \nLes filles qui subissent des mutilations génitales féminines font face à des complications à court terme\, telles que des douleurs intenses\, des saignements excessifs\, des infections et des difficultés à uriner\, ainsi qu’à des conséquences à plus long terme pour leur santé sexuelle et reproductive et leur santé mentale. \nBien que principalement concentrée dans 30 pays d’Afrique et du Moyen-Orient\, la pratique des mutilations génitales féminines (MGF) est un problème universel. Elle persiste également dans certains pays d’Asie et d’Amérique latine\, ainsi que parmi les populations immigrées vivant en Europe occidentale\, en Amérique du Nord\, en Australie et en Nouvelle-Zélande. \nPour promouvoir l’élimination des MGF\, des efforts coordonnés et systématiques\, impliquant l’ensemble d’une communauté\, sont nécessaires. Ils doivent être axés sur les droits humains\, l’égalité entre les sexes\, l’éducation sexuelle et porter une attention particulière aux besoins des femmes et des filles ayant subi de telles pratiques.

SUMMARY:Free Webinar: What is CoLMEAL?
DESCRIPTION:Salanga has been partnering with Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and ADRA Canada to innovate on Community-Led Monitoring\, Evaluation\, Accountability and Learning (CoLMEAL). We have been piloting this approach in countries in Africa and Asia\, including fragile and vulnerable contexts\, by building the capacity of community change agents to develop\, implement\, monitor and evaluate their own theories of change to achieve sustainable changes in well-being. \nClick here to join Salanga and ADRA Canada for a free webinar during International Development Week on What is CoLMEAL? \nThe Context\nSustainable Development Goal (SDG) #16 calls for building participatory\, effective\, accountable institutions “at all levels”. In order to ensure the SDGs are sustainable\, the people who are most affected by their community’s development should be drivers of their change. Thus any information gathered should first be owned and used by those who are impacted the most. New ways of working are needed to support the decolonization of development\, including monitoring and evaluation. Frameworks and tools that support true participation\, grassroots innovation\, and empowerment of vulnerable communities will help to catalyze this process. \nFacilitated by:\nElaine Stavnitzky is a Program & CoLMEAL Advisor at Salanga. She is passionate about CoLMEAL and has been instrumental in the development of the CoLMEAL approach. She is an experienced leader\, having implemented a wide range of complex strategic\, programmatic and quality assurance processes to support leadership\, staff\, communities and children in international development and humanitarian aid programs since 2002. The nexus of her passion\, skills\, and value is in empowering communities to understand and monitor the change they seek to actualize. She is ever ready to apply her energy and enthusiasm to support organizations in strengthening systems that ensure people have right-sized information to trigger change making decisions. She loves experiencing with others the “a-ha” moment that tips the balance for transformation at the individual\, community and/or systems level. \nIntroductions by:\nAnalynn Bruce is the Development Program Director at ADRA Canada and has spearheaded the piloting and integration of CoLMEAL in ADRA’s GAC-funded projects in Africa and Asia. \nJakub Nemec is the founder of Salanga and passionate about supporting organizations to shift the power dynamic in MEAL and empower communities with the tools to measure success on their own terms.

SUMMARY:Journée mondiale de la justice sociale
DESCRIPTION:La justice sociale est une condition fondamentale de la coexistence pacifique et prospère des hommes au sein des nations et entre les nations elles-mêmes.  Nous servons la justice sociale lorsque nous défendons l’égalité des sexes ou les droits des peuples autochtones et des migrants.  Nous faisons progresser la justice sociale lorsque nous abattons les obstacles liés au sexe\, à l’âge\, à la race\, à l’appartenance ethnique\, à la religion\, à la culture ou au handicap. La quête de la justice sociale pour tous est au cœur de la mission mondiale des Nations Unies en faveur du développement et de la dignité humaine. \nLa question de la réduction des inégalités est au cœur de cette Journée 2020. En effet\, 1 travailleur sur 5 vit toujours dans une pauvreté modérée ou extrême. Un grand nombre d’entre eux voient leur salaire stagner et ne bénéficient pas de manière égale de la croissance économique. Les inégalités géographiques au sein des pays ou même entre pays demeurent\, de même que les inégalités entre les sexes. \nToutes ces inégalités empêchent les gens de réaliser leur plein potentiel et pèsent sur les économies. Il est temps d’agir pour réduire les inégalités à l’échelle mondiale.

SUMMARY:What Women Want: Improving Global Maternal Health Through Policy Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:Maternity Today is presenting a panel discussion on Improving Global Maternal Health through Policy Advocacy. Don’t miss out on this powerhouse presentation with leaders from gender equality\, women’s health\, midwifery\, and human rights organizations. The event will include guest speakers from : Canadian Partnership for Women’s and Children’s Health( CanWaCH)\, White Ribbon Alliance Global (WRA) \, Canadian Center for Women’s Empowerment (CCWE)\, International Confederation of Midwives (ICM)\, and Canadian Association of Midwives .Our theme is to promote women’s maternal health by engaging leaders in discussing policies that affect women and their well-being . The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the disparities in accessing health\, and among the vulnerable and marginalized\, are women who have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic. This panel will also discuss the importance of midwives as essential health care providers to women. \nRecently\, Maternity Today joined the global efforts with ICM and WRA\, to survey midwives as ambassadors for women’s health. The goal of the survey is to ask midwives about what they want and need to serve women in their care and for themselves as midwives. \nWhy empower midwives? Because this is What Women Want! \nIn 2019\, the What Women Want (WWW) Campaign was launched with the goal of addressing the needs of women and girls in the developing world. Findings were used to develop policy agendas and the implementation of reproductive and maternal health services. The top request that came from WWW was the demand for more midwives and better-supported nurses. As a result\, the What Women Want: Midwives’ Voices\, Midwives’ Demands campaign was launched to better understand the needs of midwives. \nA global survey was launched to amplify the multitudinous voices of Midwives. The information that is gathered will be categorized\, analyzed\, and reported in May 2022 on the International Day of the Midwife. The reported information will be further used to advocate for policy change so Midwives across the globe will receive all that they need to help mothers and children. \nREGISTER HERE
