What the virtual event is about

We are excited to present Movendi International’s new report “The Changing Landscape of Women and Alcohol Harm”.

Marking International Women’s Day, the event will launch Movendi International’s groundbreaking report, “The Changing Landscape of Women and Alcohol Harm.”

This webinar will provide a timely discussion about increasing alcohol harm among women and, more importantly, explore solutions. Through expert discussions and evidence-based insights, we will explore how alcohol policy can be a powerful tool to advance women’s health and rights, tackling issues such as harmful industry marketing, policy gaps, and the broader social impact of alcohol on women’s lives.

The new report provides a comprehensive picture of alcohol harm as a women’s right issue. It exposes how the products and practices of the alcohol industry harm women and girls, perpetuate harmful norms, and fuel rising health harms affecting women.

In this event we bring together leaders from academia, pop culture, and local communities in the efforts to address alcohol harm as feminist issue. Together, we’ll unpack key findings and discuss solutions to promote women’s health and rights.

What to expect:

  • Exclusive insights from the latest report,
  • Expert discussions on global health policies and human rights tools like CEDAW, and
  • Actionable strategies for prevention, early intervention & treatment.

Audience

The target audience of this virtual event is government representatives, UN organizations experts, as well as leaders of civil society organizations and the research community.
