Menopause - End the Taboo & The Silence

Menopause: The Taboo Topic We Need To Talk About
Between sexism and ageism, menopause gives rise to many stereotypes that have consequences for women’s private and professional lives.
By Marine Le Breton - HuffPost France
March 12, 2020 - About half of French women do not discuss menopause with their partner. That may be because 40% of women in the country consider it a “difficult” topic “which they don’t want to think about” themselves, according to a survey released late last year.
International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination - March 21 - Gender
Извор: WUNRN – 20.03.2020
“The more we respect others, the more we respect ourselves,” UNESCO Former Director-General
The fight against racism and all forms of discrimination is a mainstay of peace and social cohesion, especially in our increasingly diverse societies. On the occasion of International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, UNESCO calls on all its Member States and partners to step up their efforts to build a more inclusive, more giving and fairer world.

EU -"Sex Without Consent Is Rape: EU Countries Must Change Laws to State This Clearly"
Извор: WUNRN – 18.03.2020
SECRETARY GENERAL - STRASBOURG - 6 MARCH 2020
Based on International Women’s Day 8 March, Council of Europe Secretary General Marija Pejčinović Burić has called on all member states to change how rape is defined.
In an opinion article published in today’s EU Observer, she says that “Too few of our members treat this crime as seriously as they should, because their legal definitions of rape are not based on lack of consent”. She adds: “This places the burden on those who have been raped to prove that they – most often women – are victims.”
EU - Beijing + 25: The 5th Review of Implementation of the Beijing Platform by European Union Member States
Извор: WUNRN – 16.03.2020
Although the Beijing Platform for Action (BPfA) was established 25 years ago, many of the challenges identified in 1995 remain relevant today (such as the gender pay gap, unequal distribution of unpaid work or experiences of gender-based violence, to name just a few). This report both tracks progress against these long-standing challenges and goes beyond them to assess new challenges that have emerged in recent years, including those brought by digitalisation, recent migration flows and a mounting backlash against gender equality.

March 6, 2020 - Policies and public health efforts have not addressed the gendered impacts of disease outbreaks.
The response to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) appears no different. We are not aware of any gender analysis of the outbreak by global health institutions or governments in affected countries or in preparedness phases. Recognising the extent to which disease outbreaks affect women and men differently is a fundamental step to understanding the primary and secondary effects of a health emergency on different individuals and communities, and for creating effective, equitable policies and interventions.
Women's Rights in Review 25 Years After Beijing - Gender Equality Analysis Report
Извор: WUNRN – 13.02.2020
This report’s review of the Beijing Platform for Action draws on the most comprehensive and participatory stock-taking exercise ever undertaken on women’s rights, to which 170 countries contributed. It highlights gaps and opportunities and proposes effective solutions. It helps us look frankly at where commitments have been broken, and to energetically recommit to action and implementation. This is also critical for the success of the UN Decade of Action and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, for which gender equality is fundamental.

EU - Demographic Outlook for the European Union - Gender
Извор: WUNRN – 09.03.2020
Demography is important. The economy and the labor market, but also social protection, intergenerational fairness and healthcare, the environment, food and nutrition are all driven by demography. The population of EU countries has grown substantially – by around a quarter since 1960 – and currently it stands at almost 450 million. The numbers are now beginning to stagnate however and are expected to decline from around the middle of the century. With the world population having risen still more substantially and growth continuing, the EU represents a shrinking proportion of the global population.

Global reach of ageism on older persons’ health: A systematic review
FULL STUDY - https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0220857 – January 15, 2020
Conclusions: The current analysis which included over 7 million participants is the most comprehensive review of health consequences of ageism to date. Considering that the analysis revealed that the detrimental impact of ageism on older persons’ health has been occurring simultaneously at the structural and individual level in five continents, our systematic review demonstrates the pernicious reach of ageism. Initiatives to improve population health would benefit from taking ageism into account.
