SUMMARY:Dr. Charles Larson\, “Power\, Privilege and Equity in Global Health”
DESCRIPTION:Power and privilege have silently\, but profoundly\, shaped the practice of global health since its inception. To overcome the reality of these inequities when working with the disadvantaged\, one must confront long-held assumptions about helping others and reorient one’s thinking more towards helping ourselves in partnership with those trapped in poverty and limited opportunity. Drawing on my own 30-year career working in global health I will share a few personal stories and how applying an equity lens has led to a reassessment of my career\, the pitfalls of privilege\, and how I now advise those who will follow me. \n~~~~~~~~~~~ \nLe pouvoir et les privilèges ont façonné en silence\, mais profondément\, la pratique de la santé mondiale depuis sa création. Pour surmonter la réalité de ces inégalités lorsqu’on travaille avec des personnes défavorisées\, il faut affronter les postulats tenus de longue date à propos d’aider les autres\, et réorienter davantage sa pensée vers s’aider soi-même\, en partenariat avec ceux qui sont pris au piège de la pauvreté et des opportunités limitées. En m’appuyant sur 30 ans de carrière dans le secteur de la santé mondiale\, je partagerai quelques histoires personnelles et explique en quoi la perspective de l’équité a conduit à une réévaluation de ma carrière\, aux pièges du privilège et à la manière dont je conseille maintenant ceux qui vont me suivre.

SUMMARY:Rachel Garber\, “Veiled Like Me: About Bill 21”
DESCRIPTION:What I learned from the “Veiled Like Me” experiment\, and reflections on Quebec’s Bill 21 (An Act Respecting the Laicity of the State) that forbids some public employees to wear “religious symbols\,” including the hijab. Information about a possible court challenge to the law on the grounds that public debate was short-circuited in order to deny basic rights to Quebec citizens that would otherwise be guaranteed by the Quebec and Canadian Charters of Rights and Freedoms. \n~~~~~~~~ \nCe que j’ai appris de l’expérience «Veiled Like Me» et des réflexions sur le loi 21 du Québec (Loi sur la laïcité de l’État) qui interdit à certains fonctionnaires de porter des « symboles religieux\, » y compris le hijab. Information sur une possible contestation judiciaire de la loi au motif que le débat public a été court-circuité afin de priver les citoyens québécois de droits fondamentaux qui seraient autrement garantis par les Chartes des droits et libertés du Québec et du Canada.

SUMMARY:Douglas Coutts\, Jonathon Ellison\, Awa Ba\, “La voix la plus intelligente dans la salle africaine”
DESCRIPTION:La voix la plus intelligente dans la salle africaine: comment la sécurité alimentaire et le changement climatique offrent une possibilité de renouvellement de l’environnement (si seulement nous apprenions à écouter les femmes). Dimanche 8 septembre à 10 h 30. Trois personnes de notre équipe de WaterforAfricanWomen.org vont raconter une récente réunion au cours de laquelle ils ont invité des experts en développement du monde entier à rencontrer les habitants de l’un des villages les moins bien desservis du Sénégal\, en Afrique de l’Ouest. M. Douglas Coutts (retraité\, Programme alimentaire mondial des Nations Unies pour l’Afrique) discutera comment la réponse des experts\, en relation avec les commentaires d’une hilarante grand-mère-avec-attitude\, est liée à la façon dont les indicateurs de la sécurité alimentaire vont dans le mauvais sens\, pendant qu’une poignée de jardins de femmes explosent avec de la nourriture. Douglas sera accompagné d’une organisatrice de la communauté\, Mme Awa Ba du Sénégal\, et du fondateur et directeur exécutif de l’Eau pour les femmes africaines\, M. Jonathon Ellison. Nous espérons encourager la discussion (WaterforAfricanWomen.org sera bientôt opérationnel). \n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \nThe Smartest Voice in the African Room: How food security and climate change offer a chance for environmental renewal (if only we learn how to listen to women). Three individuals from our team at WaterforAfricanWomen.org will recount a recent meeting where they invited development experts from around the world to meet with the residents of one of the most under-served villages in Senegal\, West Africa. Mr. Douglas Coutts (retired\, UN World Food Program for Africa) will comment on how the experts’ response\, versus the comments of a hilarious-grandmother-with-attitude\, is connected to how food security indicators are going in the wrong direction\, while a handful of women’s gardens are exploding with food. Douglas will be joined by Senegalese community organizer Awa Ba and Water for African Women founder and executive director Jonathon Ellison. We are hoping to encourage discussion.(WaterforAfricanWomen.org will be up and running soon).

SUMMARY:Paul-Conrad Carignan\, “Forbidden Native Ceremonies” / “Cérémonies autochtones interdites”
DESCRIPTION:In several amendments to the Indian Act\, the federal government reinforced the assimilation of Indigenous people by forbidding their cultural and spiritual ceremonies. Activities we see today at Native gatherings like smudging\, Pipe ceremonies\, sweats lodges\, etc. were legally forbidden until 1951 when the federal restrictions were finally lifted. This PowerPoint presentation reviews these spiritual practices and questions why this attempt at cultural genocide was allowed to happen. (Service Leader: Gudrun Brand. Musician: Kevin Jensen. Refreshments: Hélène & Peter Cunningham.) \nPaul-Conrad Carignan is a federally-recognized metis of Anishnabe (Algonquin) and Huron-Wendat heritage. He has been on the Red Road of learning and sharing his Indigenous heritage for over 25 years. A Franco-Ontarian by birth\, he presently lives in the Eastern Townships. \n~~~~~~~~~~ \nDans plusieurs amendements à la Loi sur les Indiens\, le gouvernement fédéral a renforcé l’assimilation des peuples autochtones en interdisant leurs cérémonies culturelles et spirituelles. Les activités que nous voyons aujourd’hui lors de rassemblements amérindiens\, comme la purification\, les cérémonies du calumet\, les pavillons de sueurs\, etc.\, étaient interdites par la loi jusqu’en 1951\, date à laquelle les restrictions fédérales ont finalement été levées. Cette présentation PowerPoint examine ces pratiques spirituelles et s’interroge sur les raisons pour lesquelles cette tentative de génocide culturel a été autorisée. (en anglais)(Responsable du service : Gudrun Brand. Musicien : Kevin Jensen. Rafraîchissements : Hélène & Peter Cunningham.) \nPaul-Conrad Carignan est un métis reconnu par le gouvernement fédéral\, du patrimoine anishnabe (Algonquin) et huron-wendat. Il est sur le sentier rouge de l’apprentissage et du partage de son héritage autochtone depuis plus de 25 ans. Franco-ontarien de naissance\, il vit actuellement dans les Cantons de l’Est.
