Gender mainstreaming and gender analysis in work addressing risk reduction: G...Oxfam GB
Understanding how gender relations shape women’s and men’s lives is critical to disaster risk reduction (DRR). This is because women’s and men’s different roles, responsibilities, and access to resources influence how each will be affected by different hazards, and how they will cope with and recover from disaster. This presentation contains help and advice on mainstreaming gender in DRR work. This presentation is part of Oxfam GB's Gender and disaster risk reduction training pack available at www.oxfam.org.uk/genderdrrpack.
On 19 October 2021, over 500 researchers, practitioners, policymakers and activists from around the world gathered to take stock of what we know about the intersections between
violence against children and violence against women, identify existing knowledge gaps and discuss opportunities to increase coordination across efforts to prevent and respond to both
forms of violence.
This summary presents key takeaways from the event organized by UNICEF Innocenti, in collaboration with the Global Partnership to End Violence, the World Health Organization,
the Sexual Violence Research Initiative and the UK FCDO.
Effective solutions to end violence against children will require researchers, practitioners, and leaders to come together to take stock of what we know, bridge gaps across the field, and influence change through the use and generation of VAC evidence.
This webinar aimed to share evidence and foster discussion on intersections between violence against women and violence against children, highlighting opportunities for greater collaboration, to build knowledge, and to translate it into policy and programmes.

Gender Based Violence in Schools: Problems, Challenges and MeasuresGarima Singh
Gender based violence is violence against any person on the basis of gender, including acts that inflict physical, mental or sexual harm or threats of such acts.
This power-point analyses the Indian government and Sri Lankan's plans and budgets from a gender and equity lens. It argues that they are not gender and diversity transformative, do not focus on strengthening services for 'care' and engaging with men and boys on masculinities. Neither are budgets responsive to gender and diversity concerns. Finally, the paradigm of development is not consistent with gender and social equity

HARMFUL TRADITIONAL PRACTICES IN UGANDA PRESENTATIONThomas Owondo
Traditional cultural practices: They reflect values & beliefs held by members of a community for periods often spanning generations. Some are beneficial, some have neither benefits nor harms, and some are harmful to a specific group e.g. Female Genital Mutilation & child marriage.
Female genital mutilation (FGM): Any procedure that involves the partial or total removal of external genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.
Child marriage: Formal marriage or informal union before the age of 18 years.
Harmful traditional practices among adolescents are an important problem:
Over 200 million girls & women are estimated to be living with the effects of FGM which is predominantly performed on girls under the age of 18 years.
Every year, about 12 million girls are married before the age of 18.
Harmful traditional practices among adolescents can have serious health & social consequences:
FGM has no known health benefits,. It can cause immediate health consequences - hemorrhage, shock, infections & death & can cause long-term health & social consequences such as post-traumatic stress disorder & menstrual health problems. Women with type III FGM have an increased likelihood of experiencing problems during child birth. Babies born to children with FGM are at increased risk of neonatal complications.
Child marriage often leads to early childbearing in young girls which is associated with an increased risk of pregnancy-related mortality & morbidity and of increased risk of mortality and morbidity in babies born to a adolescent mothers. Child marriage is also associated with an increased risk of intimate partner violence. Finally, it has a negative effect on educational attainment.

Importance of information system in raising public awareness about domestic v...Masum Hussain
Across the globe, information system tools have helped fuel social movements. Information system has been shown to strengthen social actors’ ability to challenge and change power relations in society, providing platforms for debate, reflection, influencing and mobilizing people. To better understand the potential of information system to engage especially young people in efforts to prevent domestic violence the Partners for Prevention regional project, Engaging Young Men Through Information system for the Prevention of Domestic violence’ which supported information system awareness campaigns designed to raise awareness and motivate young people to take action to prevent domestic violence has revealed practical lessons from three awareness campaigns on the effective use of information system tools for violence protection.
Alessandra Guedes' presentation from her UNICEF Innocenti seminar held at our offices on 26th November 2019.
This presentation:
• reviews evidence for the intersections between violence against women and violence against children,
• explores existing tensions between these fields of work, and
• discusses collaborative ways forward.

Ending violence against girls and women cristinagss
Domestic violence, sexual violence against women and human trafficking are the three most pervasive problems women rights activists from the Good Shepherd Sisters Congregation encounter in the 72 nations in which they operate. To better understand how women fall prey to this cycle of violence and abuse the New York-based NGO, Good Shepherd International Justice Peace Office (GSIJP) undertook a globe-spanning survey to determine who’s most at risk and how this pattern can be broken. Here are the results.
Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

2. Know the Fact : Global (WHO 2019)
• Violence against women (VAW) is a violation of human rights, is rooted in gender
inequality, is a public health problem, and an impediment to sustainable development.
• Nearly 1 in 3 (35%) women worldwide have experienced physical and/or sexual violence
by an intimate partner
• Globally between 38%-50% of murders of women are committed by intimate partners.
• Violence negatively affects women’s physical and mental health and well-being. It has
social and economic consequences and costs for families, communities and societies.
• The majority (55-95%) of women survivors of violence do not disclose or seek any type
of services.
• Adolescent girls, young women, women belonging to ethnic and other minorities,
transsexual women , and women with disabilities face a higher risk of different forms of
violence.
• Violence against women and girls is preventable. To prevent violence, mitigate the risk
factors and amplify the protective factors
3. Despite of having more than 25 policy instruments to protect
women rights, 72.6% of married women in Bangladesh
experience violence by their husbands (BBS 2015)
Know the Fact : Bangladesh
Prevalence of physical IPV is highest (35%) compare to other
urban (20%) and rural areas (22%). (BBS 2015)
In 2018, a total of 12400 incidents of gender based
violence were reported. Out of total 84% were women
and 16% were children (BRAC 2019).
A study on monetary cost of domestic violence against
women reveals the economic loss of almost BDT 14
million which is about 2% of annual GDP of
Bangladesh.
