SUMMARY:Standing Up Against Gender Based Violence (GBV) in Africa: A Conversation with Activists
DESCRIPTION:The World Bank | Virtual Event \nDescription: Gender-based violence (GBV) represents a critical barrier to development globally. In Eastern and Southern Africa\, 42% of women experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetimes. The impact extends far beyond individual survivors\, with implications for the productivity and well-being of families and communities\, often across generations. It impedes women’s participation in education and the labor market and is costing economies up to 4% of GDP. Join an intriguing conversation with renowned African GBV survivors and activists who will be sharing their journeys in fighting this global pandemic. They will be joined by a World Bank country director\, who is involved in gender equality programming in the region. This is the moment to stand up against GBV and double down on our commitment and actions towards preventing and eliminating violence against women and girls\, once and for all. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Seven Months of Conflict in Sudan
DESCRIPTION:Center for Strategic & International Studies| Virtual Event \nDescription: The war in Sudan will soon be in its eighth month and prospects for a military ceasefire or a political agreement to end the war appear crushingly bleak in the near term. Internationally-mediated talks in Jeddah\, Saudi Arabia have demonstrated yet again that both sides in Sudan’s conflict believe that the threats posed to them are existential and that a military solution is only way forward. Tragically\, this leaves Sudanese civilians caught in the crossfire. \nMore than one million people have fled to neighboring countries while more than seven million Sudanese are internally displaced.  Health care in the country has collapsed and the global humanitarian response is only one-quarter funded.  Amidst this ever-worsening scenario\, and in the absence of a coordinated international response\, Sudanese are themselves stepping up to respond from the frontlines. Recent political talks in Addis Ababa have given hope for the establishment of a civilian alternative to military rule; while Sudanese-organized humanitarian talks in Cairo have offered solutions for reaching Sudanese besieged population. But with fighting set to expand to the Sudan’s still-quiet eastern states and the western region of Darfur experiencing even more extreme levels of atrocities\, the time for the international community has grown short if we hope to avoid the tragic collapse of Africa’s third largest country. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:India’s Foreign Policy Toward Its Crisis-Stricken Neighborhood
DESCRIPTION:United States Institute of Peace | Virtual Event \nDescription: Many of India’s neighbors are beset by domestic political turmoil. To the east\, tensions are escalating in Bangladesh ahead of the upcoming general elections. And with Myanmar entrenched in civil conflict since the 2021 military coup\, New Delhi has needed to navigate its own economic and security interests along their shared border. On India’s western front\, Pakistan remains in a state of polycrisis\, characterized by political turmoil\, economic challenges and growing violence. Looming over all this is the considerable influence of China — with whom India has an active border dispute — and its growing engagement in the region\, including its alignment with Pakistan. Join USIP for a public conversation with Dr. Avinash Paliwal on how India seeks to manage its crisis-stricken neighborhood. The discussion will focus on India’s relations with Bangladesh\, Myanmar and Pakistan\, exploring the impact of domestic crises and the geopolitical competition with China on Indian foreign policy. \nThe registration link can be found below. \n

SUMMARY:Integrating Climate Change with Somalia's Development: The Case for Water
DESCRIPTION:The World Bank | Virtual Event \nDescription: Join us on YouTube for the launch of the 8th edition of the Somalia Economic Update\, titled: Integrating Climate Change with Somalia’s Development: The Case for Water (report available Nov. 30). This report examines recent economic developments and growth prospects in Somalia\, with a special focus on the integration of climate change into the country’s growth agenda. The World Bank and the Federal Government of Somalia will discuss this topic at the launch event. The Somalia Economic Update aims to contribute to policy dialogue and debate\, and this edition specifically highlights the importance of access to water for Somalia’s transition from fragility and improving household resilience to shocks. Water plays a central role in human development\, urban development\, job creation\, and long-term economic growth in Somalia. Therefore\, balancing food demand and water supply is crucial for the country’s overall growth. The launch event will begin with an opening speech by the World Bank Country Manager for Somalia\, Kristina Svensson. This will be followed by keynote addresses from the Federal Government of Somalia’s Minister for Finance\, H.E. Bihi Iman Egeh\, and the Minister for Energy and Water Resources\, H.E. Jama Taqal.

SUMMARY:Women and Children as Targets of War
DESCRIPTION:Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution | Virtual Event \nDescription: Children and women have long been seen as legitimate targets and have been killed with impunity. In other words\, they are seen as legitimate targets not only from the point of view of destroying the group under assault but also assuring that the population of that group will be decimated. This event\, hosted by the Dialogue & Difference Project\, shines the light of inquiry on the skyrocketing death tolls of women and children at the hands of Hamas\, Israel\, and proxy groups within and without the region. \nSpeakers include: \n\nDr. Patricia Maulden\, Professor of Conflict Resolution\, Carter School\nDr. Roger Mac Ginty\, Professor in Defence\, Development\, and Diplomacy\, Durham University\, UK\nFederico Borello\, Former Executive Director of Center for Civilians in Conflict\n\nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Navigating Discourses on Israel and Palestine: Civic Space\, Expression\, and Dialogue in Challenging Times
DESCRIPTION:Carnegie Endowment for International Peace| Virtual Event \nDescription: Public discourse on Palestine and Israel is often contentious. However\, since the Hamas attacks on October 7 and the subsequent\, ongoing military response from Israel\, the violence has spurred particularly intense debate — as well as dialogue and deliberation –– in civil society\, college campuses\, social media platforms\, and boardrooms. For some observers\, the debates have also sharpened questions about the assumptions\, points of departure\, and appropriate norms of discourse in discussions about the conflict. What makes discussions of the situation in Israel and Gaza so contentious\, and what can we learn about the role of constructive debate and deliberation in challenging times? Join the Carnegie Endowment of International Peace for a conversation about free speech in times of conflict with Tino Cuéllar\, Yael Berda\, Daniel Levy\, and Suha Salman Mousa. The event will be moderated by Julia Ioffe of Puck News. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Addressing Current and Emerging Threats To Secure Democracy
DESCRIPTION:German Marshall Fund of the United States | In-Person Event \nDescription: Democratic backsliding has been a defining feature of modern politics and the transatlantic space has not been immune to this trend. The subversive effect of autocratic efforts to undermine democracy has concerned leaders across Europe and the United States. Ahead of the hugely important elections taking place on both sides of the Atlantic in 2024\, this in-person session will aim to explore how governments and the various pillars of democratic society can better bolster democratic resilience from within—and how we\, as allies and partners\, can exchange lessons learned across national boundaries.Speakers will describe how autocratic tools and tactics are evolving\, particularly as technology rapidly evolves\, to hasten democratic decline.  They will also give examples of policy measures and best practices that have helped to defend against\, deter\, and raise the costs on autocratic tactics that undermine our democracies. \nThe registration link can be found below.
