The GEF recognizes gender equality as an important goal in the context of its projects. Based on this, IW:LEARN has included in its fourth cycle a gender sub-component “Promotion of Gender Mainstreaming in the GEF IW Portfolio”, with the scope of achieving increased recognition of gender issues and attention on gender equality throughout the GEF IW projects.
The Gender sub-component includes amongst others a set of six webinars that aims to provide GEF IW projects with the elements and tools for training project staff and client country experts on water and gender issues, and learn how to incorporate gender considerations into water policies in different project contexts.
Following the first (Gender Analysis and Mainstreaming) and second webinar (Collecting Sex-Disaggregated Water Data), the third webinar will take place on Tuesday 17 October with as topic ‘Gender Roles in Water Scarcity-induced Migration’. The webinar intends to explore the interdependencies among water scarcity, youth unemployment and migration. In particular, it will also address the different roles of women and men in the gendered migration process. The webinar will feature a panel of experts that will approach the topic from different perspectives:
- What is environmental migration?;
- The link between water & migration;
- The role of women and men in the migration process;
- Case studies.
Please register before 16 October by sending an e-mail to l.thuy@unesco.org providing your name, surname and affiliation. You will receive a confirmation e-mail with instructions on how to attend the webinar.
