Full text linkWebinar—Voix oubliées: Les adolescentes dans l\u27économie du care
No full textAs part of the International Day of the Girl Child 2024’s theme “Girls’ Vision for the Future,” it was essential to consider how adolescent girls envision their role in the future care economy. The care economy, which includes both paid and unpaid care work, disproportionately burdens women and girls, yet current policies largely overlook the distinct experiences of adolescent girls.
On October 30, 2024, the Population Council’s GIRL Center hosted a conversation among people with lived experience, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers on the implications for girls’ engagement in the care economy and how best to integrate their distinct needs in programs and policies to support their visions for the future.
Speakers included: Dr. Annabel Erulkar, Population Council (facilitator) Maïmouna Bah, Population Council (presenter) Edith Murogo, Centre for Domestic Training and Development Winnie Nelima, Centre for Domestic Training and Development Amar Nijhawan, International Development Research Center Chiku Semfuko, International Labour Organization
The webinar was conducted in English with simultaneous interpretation in French and Spanish

ACT now: Words, actions, and values in tackling the human dimensions of the climate crisis
No full textThis chapter celebrates the importance of individual and collective words, actions, and values in approaching, tackling, and ultimately solving the climate crisis. While these may seem innocuous enough, they are anything but. In a world that is standing on the precipice of a climate catastrophe and is unwilling and/or unable to have honest conversations and chart corrective directions forward for the good of the planet and its peoples, collective engagement is essential. The chapter closes with a recommendation and challenge to “ACT now.” Using the example of the efforts of the Chumash Tribe to propose and manage a new marine sanctuary along California’s central coast, this chapter celebrates the need to ACT. The acronym, ACT, is borrowed from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes two key steps that include individually and collectively 1) acknowledging and accepting the scary realities and uncertainties associated with the worsening climate crisis and 2) committing to a values-driven course of action that is consistent with who we are and who we want to be in the face of these changes
