In this second event of our How We Care series, Family Members CPTCSA (Philippines), Paicabi (Chile) and Butterflies (India) will come together to discuss the work they are doing to address child sexual abuse in their contexts. You can prepare for the event by viewing the How We Care materials on this theme where we explore these Members' programmes and tools in some depth. Lopa Bhattacharjee from the Secretariat will moderate this event.

In this first event of our How We Care series, Family Members CINDI (South Africa), Conacmi (Guatemala) and Uyisenga Ni Imanzi (Rwanda) will share their approaches and experiences of providing psychosocial support to children and families during the COVID-19 crisis. Their presentations will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A, which will complement the How We Care materials being produced on this theme over the next couple of months. Juliana Trujillo from Juconi (Mexico) will moderate the event.

The current COVID-19 pandemic is not only a global health crisis, but a social and economic crisis that has disproportionately affected women by exacerbating already existing and intersecting forms of inequality. The negative economic impact of lockdowns and the decreased demand for goods and services often produced or provided by women are posing a real threat to women’s employment, livelihoods, and economic empowerment.

In the third event of a series hosted by DevEx and the CDC, you'll hear from:

• Mary Ellen Iskenderian, President and CEO, Women's World Banking
• Anu Madgavkar, Partner, Mumbai, McKinsey Global Institute
• Arpita Raksit, Gender Lead, CDC Group

Expert panelists will discuss the effects of COVID-19 on women’s economic empowerment and livelihoods, but also explore some of the solutions that can help ensure their access to finance, job opportunities, and career growth. The panel will specifically explore the role that impact investors, financial institutions, responsible investors, and the private sector could play in sustainable job creation and why this must be at the forefront of the economic recovery post-pandemic.

The Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack (GCPEA), together with the Permanent Missions of Norway, Argentina, Qatar and Spain to the UN in Geneva, are holding a virtual event to launch Education Under Attack 2020.

GCPEA will release the findings from the 2020 edition of its flagship report, Education Under Attack, a global study of targeted and indiscriminate attacks on schools and universities, their students and staff, from 2017 to 2019. The event will underscore trends in educational institutions being bombed and burned and used for military purposes, and students and educators being killed, injured, raped, abducted and recruited at schools and en route to them. Speakers will highlight the impact of these attacks and progress in preventing and responding to them.
