SUMMARY:Empower and collaborate with civil society and change agents to overcome gender barriers
DESCRIPTION:WHY GENDER MATTERS FOR IMMUNIZATION: SECOND WEBINAR SERIES\nThe Immunization Agenda 2030 envisions a world where everyone, everywhere, at every age, fully benefits from vaccines to improve health and well-being. Gender-related barriers and gender inequality can prevent people, both male and female, from getting vaccinated. The goal of gender equality is to ensure that everyone has the same chances and opportunities to access and benefit from immunization services.\nBuilding upon the first webinar series organized in 2023 (https://www.technet-21.org/en/topics/programme-management/gender-and-immunization), this second series of webinars, based on the joint WHO, UNICEF and Gavi guidance document Why Gender Matters: IA2030 (https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240033948), aims to further improve awareness and understanding of how gender-related barriers impact immunization. The series will focus on examples and best practices of gender-responsive programming to improve coverage and equity from around the world. \nSessions will be in English, with simultaneous translation into French.\n \nSecond webinar session: Empower and collaborate with civil society and change agents to overcome gender barriers \nCivil society, grassroots organizations and change agents are powerful allies in overcoming gender barriers and increasing demand for immunization services. They often work in the hardest-to-reach communities and have the local expertise to disseminate immunization programme information. The second webinar of this series will showcase two promising approaches that aim to identify and reach zero-dose children and improve access to health services through the involvement of women's organizations in urban Mali and India.\nRegistration available here: https://who.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ww9PgxybTcWv-OkPZNE43A
