SUMMARY:Reframing the Global LGBTQ+ Narrative: Family\, Tradition\, and Spirituality
DESCRIPTION:The NGO Committee on Human Rights \n\nPresents: \n  \nReframing the Global LGBTQ+ Narrative; Family\, Tradition\, and Spirituality \n\nTime and location: \n\nTuesday\, April 9th\, 2024 from 1 pm to 3 pm. \n\n            11th floor Church Center (East 44th St. and 1st Avenue) \n  \nPlease use this link to reserve a spot: \nhttps://forms.gle/baarLmvL6raPVTf56 \n  \n  \nConcept Note \n  \nResisting and countering harmful narratives and celebrating the integral role of LGBTQ+ people in society. \n  \nWhile there have been many advances toward the expansion and protection of the rights of the rights of sexual orientation/gender identity human rights since the June 1969 Stonewall uprising/resistance  We are now witnessing troubling regression in the progress toward equality. Anti-LGBTQ+ bills passed in Uganda and Ghana and new ones are pending in Kenya and Zambia. According to Human Rights Watch\, at least 67 countries have national laws criminalizing consensual relations between same-sex adults\, and at least nine countries have laws criminalizing the expression of gender identity that does not align with the individual’s assigned sex at birth. \n  \nIn the United States\, for example\, at least 520 laws that violate sexual orientation/gender identity human rights were introduced in state legislatures in 2023\, of which 70 were enacted\, according to the Human Rights Campaign. In 2023\, the Ugandan government enacted a series of laws that criminalize same-sex relations with punishment up to and including the death penalty. In 2022\, “LGBT propaganda” became illegal in Russia\, prohibiting the expression of LGBTQ identity in any public medium. \n  \nThese discriminatory and dangerous policies are actively harming the LGBTQ community\, and represent a troubling regression in progress that has been made toward equal protection. Our panel of speakers will share their experiences working to combat anti-LGBTQ+ forces. We invite you to join in this fight for full equality. \n  \n  \nProgram: \n\nWelcome\, and introduction; \n  \nDr. Bobbi Nassar \nCo-Chair NGO Committee on Human Rights \nInternational Federation of Settlements and Neighborhood Centers \n\nPanelists: \n\nMr. Bruce Knotts \nCo-Chair NGO Committee on Human Rights \nChair of the NGO Committee on Disarmament\, Peace\, and Security \nWorld Federalist Movement \n\nPresentation: \nHistory of the LGBT Struggles in the United States \n\nMr. Edafe Okporo \nExecutive Director of Refuge America \n\nPresentation: \nA global gay rights activist he founded Refuge America as a welcoming place for displaced LGBTQ people. He is committed to offering a lifeline to those who have been compelled to escape their homelands due to persecution. Migrated from Warri\, Nigeria Author of Asylum\, A Memoir and Manifesto (1922). \n\nDr. Elizabeth Zick\, \nUN Representative for the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues \nAdjunct Associate Professor at Long Island University \n\nPresentation: \nLGBT Asylum Seekers in the United States \n\n\nModerated by \n\nMr.  Fabrice Houdart \nFounding partner of KoppaLab; an NGO focused on the economic empowerment of LGBTQ+ people. Adjunct Professor Columbia University/Georgetown \n\nIn addition to moderating Mr. Houdart will speak about the importance of reigniting LGBTQ+ rights within the United Nations.

SUMMARY:Blended finance for climate action: good value for money?
DESCRIPTION:Dear colleagues\, \nWe are excited to invite you to our webinar “Blended finance for climate action: good value for money?” on February 28th at 3pm CET (UTC+5)\, together with ActionAid. \n  \n \nRegister \nOn 8 February\, Eurodad and ActionAid released “Blended finance for climate action: good value for money?”\, one of the first reports exploring the role of blended finance for climate action from a public interest and civil society perspective. \nDuring the 2023 United Nations climate conference in Dubai (COP28)\, the issue of ‘blended finance’ for climate action was a major focus at the inaugural Business and Philanthropy Climate Forum. This event saw global funds – the Green Climate Fund\, Allied Climate Partners and Allianz Global Investors – collectively announce the mobilisation of US$ 5 billion through several blended finance structures\, bringing together philanthropies\, development finance institutions (DFIs)\, and the private and public sectors. \nWhat is blended finance and what role does – and should – it have in climate action? This webinar will cover the key messages of the report\, and explore the challenges and opportunities that this approach presents. The event aims to initiate a debate on the topic\, facilitate knowledge sharing and build capacity among CSOs to engage with these complex discussions. \nREGISTER HERE \nWe welcome your feedback and engagement. \nKind regards\, \nStephanie\nhttps://www.eurodad.org/

SUMMARY:Discussion Forum - Gendered Dimensions of Crimes that Affect the Environment
DESCRIPTION:SAVE THE DATE:  \nDISCUSSION FORUM ON THE GENDERED DIMENSIONS OF CRIMES THAT AFFECT THE ENVIRONMENT  \n21-22 February 2024 \n  \nIn the framework of the International Gender Champions Initiative (IGC)\, UNODC and UN Women\, together with the Government of Slovenia\, are pleased to invite you to the Discussion Forum on the Gendered Dimensions of Crimes that Affect the Environment. The Discussion Forum will take place online on Wednesday 21 February 2024 at 14:30 -17:00 (CET) / 8:30 – 11:00 (EST) and Thursday 22 February 2024 at 14:00 -17:45 (CET) / 8:00 – 11:45 (EST) and will begin with a high-level opening session to be followed by panel discussions with subject-matter experts from various organizations and sectors. Interpretation will be available in Spanish and Portuguese. \nThe high-level opening will feature: \n• Ms. Ghada Waly\, Executive Director\, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime \n• Ms. Sima Bahous\, Executive Director\, UN Women \n• H.E. Ambassador Ms. Barbara Žvokelj\, Permanent Representative of Slovenia to the United Nations in Vienna \n• Ms. Anne Heloise Barbosa do Nascimento\, Youth activist\, Action Coalition – Feminist Action for Climate Justice\, Generation Equality \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n\nProtecting people and the planet represents one of the world’s greatest and most urgent challenges. In this context\, women and girls are among those who have and continue to be disproportionately impacted by the triple crisis\, due to structural gender inequality. However\, the specific gender dynamics of the crimes that affect the environment\, such as wildlife and forest crimes\, crimes in the fisheries sector\, illegal mining\, trafficking in precious metals and waste\, and other crimes related to climate justice are still not well understood. Despite the growing attention on the importance of understanding the intersectional gendered dimensions of these crimes\, research has not yet focused on the different ways men and women may engage with the illicit supply chain—whether as offenders\, defenders (handlers\, managers\, guardians)\, influencers\, beneficiaries and/or victims. This discussion forum will culminate in an outcome document to inform future policymaking and programming on these matters. \n  \nMore information can be found on the Discussion Forum Website. \n  \nPlease register here. \n  \nWe look forward to seeing you there! \n  \n  \n*** \n\nINVITACIÓN: \nFORO DE DISCUSIÓN SOBRE LAS DIMENSIONES DE GÉNERO DE LOS DELITOS QUE AFECTAN EL AMBIENTE  \n21-22 de febrero de 2024 \n\nEn el marco de la Iniciativa Internacional de Campeonas/es de Género\, la Oficina de las Naciones Unidas contra la Droga y el Delito (UNODC) y ONU Mujeres\, junto con el Gobierno de Eslovenia\, se complacen en invitarle a un Foro de Discusión sobre las Dimensiones de Género de los Delitos que Afectan el Ambiente. El Foro de Discusión se llevará a cabo en línea el miércoles 21 de febrero de 2024 a las 14:30-17:00 (CET) / 8:30-11:00 (EST) y el jueves 22 de febrero de 2024 a las 14:00-17:45 (CET) / 8:00-11:45 (EST) y comenzará con una sesión de apertura de alto nivel\, seguida por paneles de discusión con expertos y expertas en la materia de diversas organizaciones y sectores. \n  \nLa sesión de apertura de alto nivel contará con la participación de: \n\nGhada Waly\, Directora Ejecutiva\, Oficina de las Naciones Unidas contra la Droga y el Delito\nSima Bahous\, Directora Ejecutiva\, ONU Mujeres (video)\nEmbajadora Barbara Zvokelj\, Representante Permanente de Eslovenia en las Naciones Unidas\nAnne Heloise Barbosa do Nascimento\, Activista Joven\, Coalición para la Acción – Acción Feminista para la Justicia Climática\, Generación Igualdad\n\n  \nREGÍSTRESE ACÁ \n  \nProteger a las personas y al planeta representa uno de los desafíos más grandes y urgentes que enfrenta el mundo. En este contexto\, las mujeres y las niñas se encuentran entre quienes han sido y continúan siendo desproporcionadamente impactados/as por la triple crisis\, debido a la desigualdad de género estructural. Sin embargo\, aún no se comprenden bien las dinámicas de género de los delitos que afectan al medio ambiente\, como los delitos contra la vida silvestre y los bosques\, los delitos en el sector pesquero\, la minería ilegal y el tráfico de metales preciosos y de desechos. A pesar de la creciente atención sobre la importancia de comprender las dimensiones interseccionales de género de estos crímenes\, la investigación aún no se ha centrado en las diferentes formas en que hombres y mujeres se involucran en la cadena de suministro ilícita\, ya sea como delincuentes\, defensores/as (operadores/as\, administradores/as\, guardianes/as)\, influenciadores/as\, beneficiarios/as y/o víctimas. Esta discusión culminará en un documento final que servirá de base para la formulación de programas y políticas públicas. \n  \nMás información disponible en la página web del evento. \n  \nPor favor regístrese acá. \n  \n¡Esperamos contar con su participación!
