Dear colleagues,
You are invited to the second webinar series on Why Gender Matters for Immunization: IA2030.
The 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.
Building 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.
The webinar series will run across 5 sessions, on Thursdays from 15-16h (CET): 7 March, 4 April, 9 May, 6 June, and 11 July. Additional information available in the poster attached.
Sessions will be in English, with simultaneous translation into French.
