Le genre au temps des pandémies: Comprendre les crises sanitaires et planifier des réponses genrées, du 4 nov. au 8 déc. 2020
English version coming on February 2021
Les questions de genre passent souvent au second plan face à l'urgence d'agir en temps de pandémie. Les crises du VIH/Sida, MERS, H1N1, Ebola ou Zika ont pourtant démontré l’importance de l’approche intersectionnelle et genrée pour répondre de manière adéquate aux besoins différenciés des populations. La pandémie de COVID-19, au scénario sans précédent, a une fois encore exacerbé les inégalités et éclairé les discriminations fondées sur le genre, la classe sociale, l’âge, le groupe ethnique et le handicap. Mais elle a aussi confirmé la capacité des femmes à résister et s’organiser face aux situations de crise, et entrouvert des fenêtres de changement. Il devient urgent de tirer les leçons du passé, de s'outiller, et de planifier des réponses stratégiques qui réduisent durablement les inégalités de genre et endiguent les effets des crises qui les font perdurer.
Public cible
Cette formation s’adresse aux responsables et praticien·ne·s des secteurs public, privé et non gouvernemental ainsi qu'aux chercheur·e·s qui souhaitent s’approprier des méthodes et outils pour intégrer le genre dans la gestion des pandémies.
Objectifs
- Analyser comment les pandémies produisent et/ou aggravent les inégalités dans les différentes régions du monde via une approche genrée et intersectionnelle
- Comprendre, à travers les approches féministes, l'impact des modèles de développement et des politiques publiques sur les inégalités structurelles de genre
- Acquérir des méthodes et des outils pour adapter ou élaborer des programmes et des projets plus inclusifs et plus égalitaires
- Planifier des réponses stratégiques genrées à court, moyen, et/ou long terme

By 2030, one in three people on the planet is projected to be living in an urban area. The global trend of rapid urbanisation provides a unique opportunity for cities to take on a preeminent role in the provision and coordination of health services for its inhabitants. As urban populations grow, local and city administrations are increasingly engaging and building alliances with national, regional and global actors, thereby occupying a new political space. City diplomacy for health constitutes a promising avenue for improving the overall health and wellbeing of city dwellers across the globe.In this executive course, you will have the opportunity, among others, to: • Explore the challenges, complexity and opportunities of city diplomacy for health; • Analyse the role of cities in health diplomacy through specific case-studies (e.g. SARS, air pollution, etc.); • Enhance negotiation skills through a differentiated analysis of actors and their interests as well as a course-tailored simulation exercise; • Discuss multi-level governance and its relation to cities, particularly considering the role of mayors in promoting healthy cities; and • Develop a network of health diplomats and benefit from peer learning.
