This virtual, highly interactive event held during the 2020 UN General Assembly will focus on securing global accountability for protecting women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health and rights during the COVID-19 crisis and beyond.

Hosted by The Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health (PMNCH), White Ribbon Alliance and Every Woman Every Child, the event will build on outcomes from the recent “Lives in the Balance” COVID-19 summit, and bring together a wide range of stakeholders from governments to grass-roots organizations, people with power to make changes and people calling for those changes to be made.

Led by the Rt Hon Helen Clark, former Prime Minister of New Zealand and Chair of PMNCH, and moderated by Mercy Juma of BBC Africa, the event will:

• Discuss the difference that women’s political leadership makes to public accountability in relation to the pandemic;
• Present new findings from the 2020 Progress Report on the EWEC Global Strategy for Women's, Children's and Adolescents’ Health;
• Feature a citizen’s parliament that brings together women’s and girls’ lived experiences, a panel of female community leaders from India, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria and the United Kingdom, in dialogue with political leaders for commitments to the Call-to-Action on COVID-19;
• Unite partners in aligning for action under a new ambitious five-year strategy for PMNCH.

The event will feature moderated chats and live polling and will be available in English, French and Spanish.

For more than 40 years, ISPCAN and the Kempe Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Child Abuse and Neglect have shared a mission to end child maltreatment in all of its forms. Now, with the COVID-19 pandemic shining a light on disparities and inequities around the globe, they have partnered on this first-of-its-kind virtual conference that will bring together professionals across disciplines who want to create and mobilize change in child welfare and improve outcomes for families worldwide.

Organized to create community, connections, and relationships and to encourage curiosity and challenging traditional structures and ideas, we invite you to join those with lived experience; child welfare practitioners, supervisors, and administrators; legal, mental health, and medical professionals; community and neighborhood leaders; researchers; policymakers; advocates; and other thought leaders from around the world—expected to be 1,500 strong—in re-envisioning child welfare and how you can be a change agent in your nations and communities. 

Join World Vision and the Overseas Development Institute for a webinar exploring critical connections between the climate change and violence against children agendas. The two organisations partnered on the research paper Ending violence against children while addressing the global climate crisis, which aimed to increase awareness and attention to addressing these two issues together.

This webinar will present the research findings, discuss connections between climate change and violence against children, and promote conversation on how tackling both issues can contribute to more sustainable impact for children. There will be time for Q&A.
