Stream 1: Disaster management: Implication for Women's health
In recent times, there have been major natural disasters internationally. Globally, women and children are particularly affected by disasters, accounting for more than seventy five percent of displaced persons. In addition to the catastrophic impacts of natural disasters and the absence of health care, women are also more vulnerable to increased rates of sexual and domestic violence while displaced. Social and economic upheaval following a natural disaster increases the vulnerability of women not only as a consequence of gender based caregiving roles but also the loss of income due to death of spouse and loss of employment.
The objectives of this interactive workshop are to:
- Provide an overview of disaster management and strategic priorities for addressing gender based issues
- Present an interactive forum to discuss gender based vulnerabilities in women’s health
- Identify strategies for recognizing women and girls who are marginalized and at risk due to social, economic and cultural circumstances
- Review best practices for undertake a gender- based assessment in disaster management
- Discuss strategies for implementing recommendations of the International Council of Nurses and the World Health Organization on disaster preparedness.
- Develop strategies to formulate international and interdisciplinary partnerships to address gender based issues in disaster management

Stream 2: Leadership for women's health: Doctoral student colloquium
Gender inequalities are systemic in many societies. Often women do not have access to health care, education or protection under law. Women in all parts of the world suffer violence and discrimination and older women and the girl child are particularly vulnerable to abuse and neglect. Addressing these structural inequalities requires women to be empowered at all level of societies. Undertaking doctoral degrees not only affords opportunities to undertake projects to improve women's health but also develop personally and professionally to undertake leadership roles in policy, practice, education and research.
The objectives of this interactive workshop are to:
- Provide an overview of women’s health issues and strategic priorities for research in women’s health
- Present an interactive forum to discuss specific proposals related to women’s health
- Discuss key issues in the doctoral student journey: proposal and project planning, thesis defense and dissemination of findings
- Communicate opportunities and strategies for track record development and post doctoral opportunities
- Identify the doctoral degree as a critical step in leadership development for women’s health
- Develop strategies to formulate international and interdisciplinary partnerships to advance women’s health
