New Tools, New Evidence, New Momentum
Movendi’s Global Alcohol Policy Event Series 2025
We’re happy, excited, and proud to launch a powerful series of four online alcohol policy events – and you’re invited.
Between November 25 and December 17, Movendi International and partners will bring together new tools, new evidence, and new global momentum to accelerate alcohol policy action for women’s rights, tax justice, and alcohol industry accountability.
Join us to connect with local leaders, alcohol policy advocates and global experts, discover brand new resources, and explore concrete solutions that protect people and communities worldwide.
Protecting Women, Improving Policy: Confronting Alcohol’s Role in Gendered Violence

This dynamic event spotlights the overlooked but powerful link between alcohol and violence against women and girls, drawing on global evidence, lived experience, and WHO Europe’s Special Initiative on VAWG. Speakers from Uganda, Bosnia, Movendi International, and WHO Europe will explore how alcohol fuels gendered violence, how industry practices reinforce harmful norms, and why evidence-based alcohol policy is essential for prevention.
Date: November 25, 2025
Time: 9.30 – 10.30AM CET
Countering Alcohol Industry Interference – Community Experiences and Brand New Tools

Together, we explore how alcohol taxation delivers the quadruple win – for health, development, and social justice.
