iCHORDS webinar | Addressing FGS using a gender-sensitive and human rights based framework

This iCHORDS webinar will explore the application of existing human rights and gender-sensitive frameworks to assist countries in schistosomiasis endemic areas to mount an appropriate health systems response to female genital schistosomiasis (FGS), from the perspectives of both sex (biological) and gender (socio-cultural), while at the same time honoring their international commitments to human rights and gender equality.

Session speaker: Dr. Carol Vlassoff, Adjunct Professor with the School of Epidemiology and Public Health and the Bruyère Research Institute, University of Ottawa.
