Join a powerful, unprecedented alliance for better eye health for all.
Join IAPBAs part of the 2030 In Sight strategy, the global eye health sector has a unique opportunity to unite and speak with one voice, to strengthen gender equity in our organisations and programmes collectively.
The 2030 In Sight for Gender Equity webinar covered actions needed to accelerate efforts to meet the eye care needs of women and girls.
Gender equity is a key focus area for IAPB. As a sector, we need to strengthen our commitment to gender equity and inclusion, to ensure that services are provided accessibly to women and girls and address the gender gap. Our key priorities within gender equity are eye health outcomes for women and girls, closing the gender gap across the global eye health work force and leadership and driving an intersectional approach that considers all aspects of identity.
This webinar covers applying an intersectionality lens – the way factors such as race, class, gender, and other identities combine to affect lived experiences differently – to ensure we illuminate, track and monitor inequities in eye health.
Geraldine Byrne Nason, Ireland's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, on why it's important we place women and girls at the centre of eye health.
Sumrana Yasmin explains why gender equity is important in eye care.
The event focused on the intersection between vision, gender and climate change and our call for the urgent need to dismantle sociocultural barriers that contribute to keeping women and girls trapped in poverty.
