In lead up to Menstrual Hygiene Day 2021, take a look at the ways in which humanitarian aid and refugee programs around the globe are working to advance menstrual equity among their populations in spite of -- and sometimes in the stride of -- the COVID-19 pandemic. Join an interactive Q&A session with field experts, and hear stories from refugee women and girls themselves, about how stakeholders in Bangladesh, Lebanon, Uganda, and Rwanda are “building back better” to design innovative and responsive strategies for addressing MH needs in refugee communities.
Are you interested in discussing the intersections of digital health and sexual and reproductive self-care in humanitarian settings? Join us and meet Aya! A digital platform aimed at providing SRH information and accompaniment.
This session will familiarize SRH staff with the 2020 ASRH Toolkit through a hands-on technique. This live-streamed session, co-developed and led by young people, will utilize interactive methods, including breakout rooms and case studies.
In this session, we will set the context of two settings: 1) the humanitarian crisis among Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh and 2) health scenario among women and girls in the Indian state of Bihar. Join us for an interactive session!
Despite a large body of research demonstrating significant variability in biological sex, sexual development, and bodies, common understandings of human biology and sexual development are dominated by a binary model. In this model, people are assumed to display unambiguous and congruent characteristics that are either female or male. Although changing, this binary model has guided our understanding of sexual and reproductive health and rights. Join us to find out more about Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights for Intersex People and hear why Intersex issues are important and necessary to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights – especially in crisis settings.
This session will introduce the concept of integrated health resilience and explore how MOMENTUM Integrated Health Resilience (MIHR) has built upon existing lessons of resilience at social systems to expand to health resilience.
CARE's COVID-19 response has directly reached 27 million people in 69 countries. CARE quickly adapted the Rapid Gender Analysis tool as a tool to identify key issues contributing to gender inequalities and informing approaches to gender transformation.
This webinar is the third in a three-part series focusing on the quantification of health commodities, particularly in humanitarian and emergency response contexts. Building on concepts of planning and forecasting covered in Part 1, and forecasting of kits covered in Part 2, this webinar focuses on supply planning, the third major activity of the quantification process. Participants will learn how to translate forecast quantities into procurement quantities and we will review how to schedule in-coming shipments to ensure a continuous supply of products in a country.
In 2018 and 2019, the Women's Refugee Commission (WRC) conducted landmark research on sexual violence against men and boys in three refugee settings—Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh; the central Mediterranean route through Libya into Italy; and in urban Kenya. The research found that some men and boys, including young men, unaccompanied boys, and detainees, appear to be targeted for sexual violence in conflict-affected settings, during flight, and in refugee contexts. WRC’s research also documented clear gaps in addressing sexual violence against persons with diverse gender identities and sexual orientations, who we found to be particularly vulnerable, with few services available. Despite progress, challenges remain. Practitioners still lack tools and resources to effectively respond to male survivors. Service provider attitudes, biases, and misconceptions are major deterrents for male and LGBTIQ+ survivors to access care. Sexual violence services for survivors of all genders remain grossly under-resourced. Join the discussion to learn more about the progress and next steps around this issue, including WRC’s recently released Guidance Note on Addressing Sexual Violence Against Men, Boys, and LGBTIQ+ Persons in Humanitarian Settings.
This interactive forum is an opportunity for young people, under the age of 30, to share their needs, concerns, and priorities about their healthcare journey and explore how self-care can help support their healthcare needs.
