To register and obtain the link to join the webinar, please contact Bushra Aslam at bushra.shirakat@gmail.com. The speakers will analyse successes and impediments in the implementation of pro-women laws and discuss how men can be engaged in the efforts to end gender-based violence. The discussion will be guided by following questions: Which laws, aimed at ending gender-based violence, have been amended or passed in your respective countries? How effective have these laws been in protecting women against gender-based violence and safeguarding women’s rights? What role can men play in drafting such laws or advocating or lobbying for these to be passed? How can men be effectively engaged in drafting pro-women legislation? Similarly, how can they be engaged in implementation, especially those working in implementing bodies? In what ways can men and boys be encouraged to support and promote the implementation of pro-women laws at the grassroots level? What are some un-conventional approaches to curbing GBV and ensuring effective implementation of women protection laws?	9	10 COVID-19 and Older People: Essential Conversations in Times of Crisis COVID-19 and Older People: Essential Conversations in Times of Crisis 07:00 -08:00 2020.07.10 International Federation on Ageing https://rightsofolderpeople.org/event/covid-19-and-older-people-essential-conversations-in-times-of-crisis/ This webinar is part of the IFA Virtual Town Hall Series and will be held on Friday 10th July at 07:00 Eastern Time (US and Canada).
