This web conference focuses on how to use technology to reach people we don’t usually see as part of prevention– those accessing child pornography/child sexual abuse images and strategies to persuade them to stop and seek help. Focusing on an exciting new effort, the Thorn Deterrence Program, we will explore what has been learned and some of the initial results of these efforts.

This hour-long webinar will cover what matters in protective asset-building program design and implementation once program staff have discovered who matters.
Population Council experts Martha Brady and Nicole Haberland will describe the results of their systematic review of the evidence on girl-centered programming.
They will describe the role of context and content, illustrating their findings by highlighting the importance of paying attention to gender norms – as reflected in the comprehensive sexuality education It’s All One Curriculum – and review monitoring and evaluation.
There will be 15 minutes for Q&A at the end of the session.

May 28th has been commemorated by women ’s health advocates and their communities since 1987 and has been crucial in the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) movement building. May 28 provides a great opportunity to remind our government leaders that Women’s Health Matters.
With the recent adoption of Agenda 2030, governments have acknowledged gender equality and women’s empowerment as crucial to sustainable development, while reaffirming the outcomes from the ICPD Programme of Action and the Beijing Platform for Action. Central to women’s empowerment, however, is the respect, protection, and fulfilment of the human rights of women and girls in all their dimensions, including their sexual and reproductive rights, and acknowledging the actual needs of all women and girls in all their diversities!
