Gender webinar 2024 - 5 EN: Implement gender-responsive immunization services in emergency settings

Emergencies, such as outbreaks, disasters and conflict, affect women, girls, boys and men differently. To be effective, immunization services must be responsive to and address the different needs, priorities, capacities and roles of people in emergency situations. Overlooking gender issues in emergency planning and response creates a danger for further entrenching gender norms and expectations, creating negative outcomes for women and other marginalized groups. Through concrete examples from different countries, the last webinar of this series will focus on the importance of gender mainstreaming in health and immunization emergencies. We will learn how rapid gender analysis during outbreaks can not only contribute to gender equity and equality but also strengthen health emergency programming at all levels.
