SUMMARY:Women in Sports: The Long Road to Equity
DESCRIPTION:Register\n  \nSince the Olympic Games in Paris in 1900\, where 22 women out of 997 athletes participated in 5 sports\, the involvement of women in sports has gradually increased. At the decision-making level\, progress has been less impressive. There were no women members of the OIC until 1981 and\, as of today\, there are 38 women out of 102. Of the 43 honorary members\, only 2 are women. The portraying of female athletes in media also needs to be much improved\, both qualitatively and quantitively.  \nPlease join us on October 6\, 2022 in Boulder\, CO at the Institute for Behavioral Science at the University of Colorado or online to discuss with amazing speakers women in sports. (9.30 am-12.30 pm MT; 11.30 am-2.30 pm EST; 19.30-22.30 EST). Please register to participate in person\, to access online\, watch the webinar recording\, as well as to receive the updated program.  \nSpeakers: \nSara Lewis (Olympian athlete & former FIS Secretary General) \nMarina Dmukhovskaya (Sports Media Director\, CU) \nDarlene Nolting (R/C Regional Development Director) \nMikaela Tommy (former Buff & World Cup skier) \nEkaterina Kuznetsova (Sports Journalist & OIC Producer)  \nand more to be announced.  \nModerator: Federiga Bindi\, IBS & IWPR \n\nWomen in Sports is part of “The State of Women” international research network\, financed by the European Commission’s ERASMUS+ program. The conference is jointly organized by the Institute for Women’s Policy Research in Washington\, DC and the Institute for Behavioral Studies at the University of Colorado.

SUMMARY:Is a European or an American college degree worthier?
DESCRIPTION:Register\n  \n  \n4:30 pm CEST | 10:30 am EST \nIt used to be that an American education was the best one could aspire to. Is that still the case? COVID\, wars\, guns\, Brexit\, Presidents are all factors influencing international education\, creating new challenges but also new opportunities. They also make exponentially more difficult for families and prospective students to choose. What do European and American universities have to offer that is unique to them? This webinar will honestly weigh in advantages and disadvantages of both choices. \nModerator: prof. Federiga Bindi \n– Hans-Georg van Liempd\, Tilburg University (Olanda) \n– Gustavo Piga\, Professor\, University of Rome Tor Vergata \n– Stephanie Anderson\, Head\, School of International Affairs\, University of Wyoming \n– Fernanda Nicola\, Professor of Law\, American University \n– Francesco Sommariva\, Professor of Human Relation\, European School of Economics

SUMMARY:Women in Religion
DESCRIPTION:Register Online\n  \n  \n9:30 AM – 12:30 PM CEST  \nRome\, Italy \nThe stained glass-ceiling in religious organization is proving hard to crack. A Pew Research Center’s study on Christians\, Muslims\, Buddhists\, Hindus\, Jews\, and the religiously unaffiliated shows that globally\, women are more devout than men by several standard measures of religious commitment. Yet\, they are still underrepresented in leadership roles. \nHistory’s most influential religious leaders – among them Abraham\, Moses\, Jesus\, Muhammad\, Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) – tend to be predominantly\, if not exclusively\, male and many religious groups\, including Roman Catholics and Orthodox Jews\, allow only men to be clergy. Yet\, there are important signs of change. \nReligious systems of meaning and belief have so powerfully shaped cultural patterns defining the social status and roles of women. Anyone hoping to understand women’s lives needs to attend to the extent to which religion has not only reflected basic cultural assumptions about gender but has in turn helped shape\, reinforce\, and alter those assumptions. As feminist theologians have pointed out from the start\, the study of women’s religious experience gives us access to women’s interpretations of reality. Finally\, and religious institutions historically have been a major sphere of women’s activities\, second perhaps only to the domestic sphere itself. \nThe conference is organized by the State of Women European Research Network and will feature both scholars and practitioners bringing their contribution to the discussion. \nCarlo Corazza\, Director\, European Parliament in Rome \nBrigid Curtin Frein\, Associate Professor of Theology/Religious Studies\, The University of Scranton \nChiara Lucifero\, communication expert and Founding Director\, Santa Croce Institute \nFederiga Bindi\, Jean Monnet Chair\, University of Rome Tor Vergata & Director\, Foreign Policy Initiative\, IWPR \nGretchen Van Dyke\, Associate Professor of Political Science\, The University of Scranton \nLivia Ottolengi\, University of Rome Sapienza and Counselor\, UCEI livia.ottolenghi@gmail.com \nMalina Voicu\, Professor\, Romanian Academy of Science \nMaria Angelillo Del Carmelo\, Professor of Southern and Western Asian Cultures\, University of Milan \nRabba Mira Raz\, Progressive Movement of Judaism\, Tel Aviv \nSilvia Costa\, former member of the European Parliament

The coming together of a global pandemic and economic crisis has revealed the fragility of our economy and health care system and the burden carried by women in society where both racism and sexism are deeply entrenched and embedded in most\, if not all our institutions\, systems\, and structures. \n\nIt will take over 135 years to close the gender gap globally.\nIn the United States\, the gender pay gap has closed only by 8 cents over the last few decades.\nWomen make up just over a quarter of all members of Congress\, a percentage far below their share of the U.S. population.\nJust about 6 percent of S&P 500 CEOs are women.\nWomen lose up to $1 million in earnings over a lifetime to workplace sexual harassment and discrimination.\nOnly 2.3 percent of venture funding went to women-led startups in 2020.\nAbout 12 percent of venture capital firms and angel groups in the U.S. had women in decision-making roles\, as of August 2019.\n\nIt’s time to accelerate change and move the needle on women’s progress and equality in the U.S. and globally. Join IWPR and its partners at the 2022 Power+ Summit to help Make Equal Happen.

SUMMARY:Policies to Support Young Mothers’ Recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic upended life for countless families and brought heightened attention to the plight of working parents. Recent IWPR studies find that during the pandemic\, young mothers—especially those who are socioeconomically disadvantaged—experienced a sharp decline in employment and prolonged economic hardship for their families. \nThis webinar will bring together policy experts and advocates to delve into the challenges facing young mothers and discuss how federal and state policies can be leveraged to help young parents recover from the pandemic. Paying special attention to policies that would particularly benefit young mothers who are historically disadvantaged\, we will explore what an equitable recovery looks like and how to build an economy that works for all. \nPanelists: \n\nNicole Lynn Lewis\, Founder & CEO\, Generation Hope\nMichelle McGrain\, Director of Congressional Relations for Economic Justice\, National Partnership for Women & Families\nJessica Milli\, Founder & Principle\, Research 2 Impact\nAisha Wells\, EPST/Paid Leave Organizer\, Mothering Justice\n\nModerators: Shengwei Sun and Jeff Hayes\, Institute for Women’s Policy Research \nWebinar Recording\n

SUMMARY:A Future Worth Building: What Tradeswomen Say about the Change They Need in the Construction Industry
DESCRIPTION:Event Recap \n \nMore women than ever work in the trades\, including women apprentices from all racial and ethnic backgrounds. Yet\, while numbers are growing\, women still are fewer than one in twenty of construction workers. \nPlease join us for a webinar to mark the release of IWPR’s new report on what helps and hinders women’s success in the trades. The report is based on the IWPR 2021 Tradeswomen’s Retention and Advancement Survey\, which was answered by over 2\,600 tradeswomen\, including close to 600 apprentices. Participants will hear directly from tradeswomen about the role of the broader tradeswomen community and women-focused training programs in supporting the next generation of women working in the trades. Federal and state program administrators will also join to discuss policies that help create respectful\, discrimination-free workplaces and ensure that women get fair access to publicly funded construction jobs. \nSpeakers:\n• Bryce Covert\, Independent Journalist and contributing writer at The Nation (Moderator)\n• Janelle DeJan\, IBEW 130\, NOTEP Electrical Instructor; Founder of NOLA Skilled Women in the Trades and Manufacturing\n• Ariane Hegewisch\, Senior Research Fellow\, Institute for Women’s Policy Research\n• Michele Hodge\, Deputy Director\, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs\n• Denise Johnson\, Director of Justice\, Equity\, Diversity and Inclusion\, ANEW Seattle\, Rise Up program\n• Hieu Nguyen\, North Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters\, Co-Chair of the Boston Sisters in the Brotherhood\n• Sebrina Owens-Wilson\, Regional Impact Program Manager\, Portland\, OR Metro\n• Thia Tomasich\, Fourth Year Apprentice\, Ironworkers Local 10 (Kansas City)

SUMMARY:Black Women's Equal Pay: Waiting Another Century is Not an Option
DESCRIPTION:\nClick Here to Download the PDF Presentation \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic and related recession has both highlighted the persistent racial and gendered economic inequalities that Black women face in the labor market and exacerbated them. Black women were over-represented in many low-paying jobs recognized as “essential” during the pandemic\, but dismissed as “low-skilled” before. Despite this recognition\, these jobs continue to be undervalued with low wages and few benefits\, and if pay trends continue\, it will take Black women more than another hundred years—until 2133—to reach pay equity with White men. \nJoin the Institute for Women’s Policy Research and Equal Pay Today for a discussion of recent research on the pay gap for Black women\, the causes and consequences of racial and gender pay disparities\, and policy strategies for pay equity. Waiting another century is not an option. \nRegister for the webinar: bit.ly/BWEPD2021 \nSpeakers Include: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChandra Childers\, Ph.D.\, Study Director at the Institute for Women’s Policy Research \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPamelya Herndon\, NM State Representative\, President/CEO of KWH Law Center for Social Justice & Change \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJosie Kalipeni\,Deputy Director of Family Values at Work \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRochelle Ramsey-Walker\,Field Organizer at the International Union of Painters & Allied Trades \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCassandra Welchlin\, Co-Founder and Director of Mississippi Women’s Economic Security Initiative \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShannon Williams\,Director of Equal Pay Today\, a project of Equal Rights Advocates \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Costs of Reproductive Health Restrictions: An Economic Case
DESCRIPTION:Watch the webinar discussion\n\n\n\nCheck out the web tool here\nJoin the Center on the Economics of Reproductive Health (CERH) at the Institute for Women’s Policy Research (IWPR) for a virtual panel on The Costs of Reproductive Health Restrictions: An Economic Case for Ending Harmful State Policies\, on May 19\, 2021\, at noon EST. \nStates continue to pass increasingly extreme restrictions to abortion access at an accelerated rate. In the last week of April 2021 alone\, 28 state abortion restrictions were enacted. This panel will launch IWPR’s new digital tool to monetize the economic costs of these restrictive abortion policies at the state level. The tool will provide state-level advocates new ways to evaluate reproductive health policies and engage allies on this critical issue. \nThis project was proudly supported by the Tara Health Foundation. \nRegister for the event here \nPanelists: \n\nModerated by Janet Burns\, Independent Journalist (Forbes\, Gizmodo\, PROTEST_NYC); author of The Endless Costs of Maligning Abortion\nDar’shun Kendrick\, Georgia State Representative to House District 93\nJim Doyle\, President\, Business Forward\nDiana Greene Foster\, PhD\, Professor\, Obstetrics\, Gynecology\, and Reproductive Sciences and Director of Research\, Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health (ANSIRH) at the University of California\, San Francisco (UCSF); author of The Turnaway Study: Ten Years\, A Thousand Women\, and the Consequences of Having – or Being Denied – an Abortion\nC. Nicole Mason\, PhD\, President and CEO\, Institute for Women’s Policy Research\n\n  \nFollowing the launch panel\, we will host a short series of conversations starting at 1:30 p.m. to discuss the critical moment we are in: an opportunity to shape the post-COVID “she-cession” recovery and demand action at the intersections of gender and racial equity and reproductive and economic justice. \nThese conversations will focus on how we might build stronger movements and communities of practice committed to women’s long-term economic security and well-being; produce relevant and timely research to fuel change at the local\, state\, and federal levels; and identify strategies to support women’s full reproductive autonomy and agency. \n  \n1:30-2:00 p.m. \nModerated Conversation between Alexis McGill Johnson\, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the Planned Parenthood Action Fund; Christine Clark\, Program Officer at the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation; and Nicole Mason\, PhD\, President and CEO\, Institute for Women’s Policy Research. \n  \n2:00-3:00 p.m. \nPanel – It’s Our Movement(s): Working at the Intersections of Reproductive and Economic Justice to improve women’s reproductive health\, freedom and autonomy. \nPanelists: \n\nModerated by Galina Espinoza\, President and Editor in Chief\, Rewire News Group\nHerminia Palacio\, President and CEO\, Guttmacher Institute\nShannan Reaze\, Executive Director\, Atlanta Jobs with Justice\nAnn Marie Benitez\, Senior Director of Government Relations\, National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice\nMarcela Howell\, Founder and President\, In Our Own Voice: National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda\n\nPlease tune in as we mark the launch of IWPR’s new digital tool and amplify the cross-sector efforts to ensure access to reproductive health services and protect women’s economic security and well-being.

SUMMARY:Building a Better Future for Women in New Orleans Post-COVID-19: Opportunities in Skilled Trade and Technical Jobs
DESCRIPTION:Watch the webinar discussion\n\nThe pandemic and recession have exacerbated social and economic disparities in New Orleans and resulted in 57\,000 job losses\, particularly in low-wage sectors that predominantly employ Black and Latina women. Some of these jobs may not return. A just economic recovery that includes women and communities of color will necessitate supporting their entry into growing fields. The economic recovery in New Orleans is expected to be swifter in sectors such as construction\, manufacturing\, and at the Port of New Orleans\, with higher growth expected in skilled trade and technical jobs that are often well-paying and do not require a 4-year college degree. \nPlease join us on January 26 at 12:00 pm EST / for a webinar to release IWPR’s briefing paper “Building a Better Future for Women in New Orleans Post-COVID-19: Opportunities in Skilled Trade and Technical Jobs.” Discuss with New Orleans stakeholders and experts how improving women’s share of skilled trade and technical jobs can help tackle gender and racial inequities in New Orleans\, and what may be done to improve women’s\, particularly Black and Latina women’s\, access and retention in these growing sectors. \n

SUMMARY:When There are Nine: Women Judges from Around the World Remember Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
DESCRIPTION:“If U.S. experience and decisions may be instructive to systems that have more recently instituted or invigorated judicial review for constitutionality\, so too can we learn from others now engaged in measuring ordinary laws and executive actions against fundamental instruments of government and charters securing basic rights.” —Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg \nThroughout her long career Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg inspired and engaged with jurists\, lawyers\, scholars\, and students worldwide.  A committed comparativist\, she was always eager to learn from the experiences of other nations\, “as a matter of comity and in a spirit of humility.”  Her personal story and unwavering commitment to gender equality served as a call for women to enter the legal profession and demand their place in the judiciary in every corner of the world. \nPlease join us for a conversation with the Rt Hon. the Baroness Hale of Richmond DBE (Former President\, Supreme Court of the United Kingdom); Hon. Justice Hannah Okwengu (Court of Appeal of Kenya)\, Hon. Judge Alexandra Prechal (Court of Justice for the European Union) and Hon. Judge Flavia Viana (Court of Justice of the State of Paraná\, Brazil) as we reflect upon the indelible mark Justice Ginsburg leaves at home and abroad. \nOrganized by the Women and the Law Program of American University Washington College of Law\, the International Association of Women Judges\, and the Institute for Women’s Policy Research\, in the framework of the THE STATE OF WOMEN:  Erasmus+ Network funded by the European Union. \nCo-sponsored by the Washington College of Law’s International and Comparative Legal Studies Program\, Center on Human Rights and Humanitarian Law\, and Academy on Human Rights and Humanitarian Law.

SUMMARY:Who gives care during the Covid-19 pandemic?
DESCRIPTION:People around the world are feeling the pressures of caring for children and other loved ones without paid care services and the support of extended family and social networks. Due to decades of disinvestment and discriminatory policies\, many families’ care and support needs were unmet before the pandemic. The loss of normal care structures has pushed many already-marginalized families to the brink. \nThis is a dynamic conversation with caregivers\, experts\, and activists who are leading the way to a more gender-just economy that supports all people in meeting their care responsibilities. \nModerator: \n\nKimberly Pfeifer\, Research Director\, Oxfam America\n\nPanelists: \n\nC. Nicole Mason\, President and CEO\, Institute for Women’s Policy Research\nJoi Owens\, Senior Gulf Coast Policy Officer\, Oxfam America\nKatherine Gallagher Robbins\, Director of Child Care and Early Education\, Center for Law and Social Policy\nSherry Leiwant\, Co-Founder and Co-President\, A Better Balance\n\nA more gender-just economy that supports all people in meeting their care responsibilities—while supporting themselves—is possible\, but it will take concerted effort and bold policy action to build an economic system that offers opportunity and care for all people. Under these difficult conditions created by the COVID-19 pandemic\, the need to recognize\, honor\, and support the value of unpaid and underpaid care and domestic work becomes increasingly urgent.

SUMMARY:Supporting Student Parent Families in a Time of Crisis
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for Women’s Policy Research\, Ascend at the Aspen Institute\, and Imaginable Futures invite you to join a webinar highlighting the importance of understanding and prioritizing the needs of college students with children during the ongoing pandemic and in the following period of recovery. Student parents face heightened financial insecurity that makes them particularly vulnerable to the current economic downturn and unprecedented spike in unemployment. As colleges\, service providers\, policymakers\, and advocates prepare relief and recovery measures\, the unique needs of students with children must be considered to ensure they are supported now and in the coming months and years\, as student parent enrollment in higher education is likely to increase in response to the economic recession. \nHearing from a series of speakers who serve student parents\, as well as a student parent currently navigating the effects of the pandemic\, participants will gain insight into the factors they must consider to adequately support student parents and their children now and in the coming months. The webinar will also provide time for participants to ask questions of the speakers and each other\, creating a space for sharing innovations and lessons for supporting student parents in crisis. \nSpeakers \n\nAnne Mosle\, Executive Director of Ascend\, Vice President of Aspen Institute\nC. Nicole Mason\, Ascend Fellow and President & CEO\, Institute for Women’s Policy Research\nJesus Benitez\, Ascend Parent Advisor & Mentor Coordinator\, CUNY Fatherhood Academy\nMark Mitsui\, President\, Portland Community College\nNicole Lynn Lewis\, Founder & CEO\, Generation Hope\n\nHosts: \n\nInstitute for Women’s Policy Research\nAscend at the Aspen Institute\nImaginable Futures
