OLUWASEUN AKINYEMI: Gender
and polio eradication.

00:00:12.410 --> 00:00:14.970 align:middle line:84%
In the video you are about
to watch on gender and polio

00:00:14.970 --> 00:00:17.050 align:middle line:84%
eradication, I'd
like you to think

00:00:17.050 --> 00:00:20.920 align:middle line:84%
about how gender affect the
polio eradication program

00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:23.680 align:middle line:84%
and how the polio
educational program may

00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:26.080 align:middle line:90%
improve gender issues.

00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:29.620 align:middle line:84%
Please post this presentation
and go on the video

00:00:29.620 --> 00:00:32.680 align:middle line:84%
on containing polio
viruses safely and securely

00:00:32.680 --> 00:00:36.790 align:middle line:84%
available on the
link on your screen.

00:00:36.790 --> 00:00:40.300 align:middle line:84%
So the question from the
video is how does gender

00:00:40.300 --> 00:00:43.840 align:middle line:84%
affect immunization at
the individual household

00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:45.430 align:middle line:90%
and community levels?

00:00:45.430 --> 00:00:47.660 align:middle line:84%
Why is gender
mainstreaming important

00:00:47.660 --> 00:00:50.170 align:middle line:84%
in programs, such as,
polio eradication.

00:00:50.170 --> 00:00:52.870 align:middle line:84%
What makes addressing
gender challenging?

00:00:52.870 --> 00:00:58.480 align:middle line:84%
What strategies can programs use
to overcome these challenges?

00:00:58.480 --> 00:00:59.950 align:middle line:84%
The purpose of
this discussion is

00:00:59.950 --> 00:01:02.650 align:middle line:84%
to emphasize the concept
of gender and gender

00:01:02.650 --> 00:01:06.070 align:middle line:84%
mainstreaming, particularly
in polio eradication.

00:01:06.070 --> 00:01:08.840 align:middle line:90%
What is gender, you may ask.

00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:12.490 align:middle line:84%
This [? categorizes ?] that
differentiate masculinity

00:01:12.490 --> 00:01:13.560 align:middle line:90%
and femininity.

00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:17.540 align:middle line:84%
These [? categorizes ?] may
include biological, sex,

00:01:17.540 --> 00:01:21.590 align:middle line:84%
culture gender roles
and gender identity.

00:01:21.590 --> 00:01:23.530 align:middle line:90%
So what is gender analysis?

00:01:23.530 --> 00:01:26.320 align:middle line:84%
Again, analysis
identifies disparities,

00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:29.850 align:middle line:84%
examines why such
disparities exist,

00:01:29.850 --> 00:01:34.210 align:middle line:84%
and looks at how these
disparities could be addressed.

00:01:34.210 --> 00:01:36.220 align:middle line:84%
Whereas, gender
mainstreaming refers

00:01:36.220 --> 00:01:39.360 align:middle line:84%
to a set of strategies
and approaches

00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:41.920 align:middle line:84%
and technical processes
adopted to achieve

00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.955 align:middle line:90%
the goal of gender equality.

00:01:44.955 --> 00:01:46.580 align:middle line:84%
The Global Polio
Eradication Initiative

00:01:46.580 --> 00:01:50.200 align:middle line:84%
adds a large female work
force around the world.

00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:54.400 align:middle line:84%
Currently, over half of the
front workforce in Nigeria

00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:58.840 align:middle line:84%
and about 90% of the workforce
in Afghanistan are female.

00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.960 align:middle line:84%
The GPEI has also
worked hard to ensure

00:02:01.960 --> 00:02:04.990 align:middle line:84%
that girls and boys are equally
reached though the vaccination

00:02:04.990 --> 00:02:05.680 align:middle line:90%
campaign.

00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.110 align:middle line:84%
Coverage is carefully
monitored to ensure

00:02:08.110 --> 00:02:11.360 align:middle line:84%
that this is [? happening ?]
in many contexts.

00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:14.950 align:middle line:84%
The reason why women or girls
may be less involved or less

00:02:14.950 --> 00:02:19.990 align:middle line:84%
likely to be reached by the GPEI
services or work opportunities

00:02:19.990 --> 00:02:21.340 align:middle line:90%
are complex.

00:02:21.340 --> 00:02:25.540 align:middle line:84%
Addressing inequities
requires addressing

00:02:25.540 --> 00:02:29.010 align:middle line:90%
social determinants of health.

00:02:29.010 --> 00:02:32.490 align:middle line:84%
In conclusion, there cannot be
social justice without equity

00:02:32.490 --> 00:02:35.640 align:middle line:84%
because equity is the
vehicle for social justice.

00:02:35.640 --> 00:02:39.600 align:middle line:84%
And also, socioeconomic factors
are the greatest contributors

00:02:39.600 --> 00:02:40.900 align:middle line:90%
to health status.

00:02:40.900 --> 00:02:44.250 align:middle line:84%
Finally, universal
health care and goals,

00:02:44.250 --> 00:02:47.130 align:middle line:84%
such as polio eradication,
lie in large part

00:02:47.130 --> 00:02:50.510 align:middle line:90%
on addressing inequities.

00:02:50.510 --> 00:02:52.480 align:middle line:84%
So without addressing
these inequities,

00:02:52.480 --> 00:02:55.590 align:middle line:84%
we cannot achieve
universal health coverage,

00:02:55.590 --> 00:03:00.000 align:middle line:84%
as well as, the sustainable
development goals.

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:08.000 align:middle line:90%
