@fhi360 A1. It's critical that we conduct rapid gender analyses that use an intersectional approach & apply findings to the design & implementation of projects

[FHI 360 @fhi360]

Q1. How has the #COVID19 pandemic exacerbated gender inequalities and social exclusion around the world, and in what ways can we apply a stronger intersectional lens to understand the current reality? #Gender360Summit

Great lessons @GenderPC Endorsers' Cafe on how to build buy-in to develop effective gender analyses. Hosted @fhi360 with speakers from @Banyan_Global @EnCompass_World @IREXintl

[Krista Bywater @KristaBywater]

@GenderPC 2nd Endorsers' Cafe on Gender Analysis kicking off with @IREXintl @Banyan_Global @EnCompass_World. Great discussion of the realities of conducting gender analyses.

[Krista Bywater @KristaBywater]

Great lessons from #CGDTalks on Graduation Approaches. The opposite of women's economic empowerment #WEE is economic dependency not poverty. And we must address power dynamics in the household for sustained results @ProfLindaScott @WomenforWomen @CGDev

A1. Partnering with women-run & owned businesses as well as companies that have mainstreamed gender throughout their operations. We need our partners who have equal pay, women in leadership, equitable parental leave, etc. @pactworld #WEECHAT2019 #IWD2019

[Pact @PactWorld]

Q1: 1.What makes a successful private sector partnership to advance women’s economic empowerment? #WEECHAT2019 #WomensDay

[Krista Bywater @KristaBywater]

A6. We need wholistic approaches to #WEE that don't assume that tech is a single solution. By following the #CWEEE principles we can ensure that development projects & approaches address unequal gender norms & other barriers @PCIGlobal #WEECHAT2019 #IWD2019

[Krista Bywater @KristaBywater]

A5. Use a gender-sensitive approach that includes accessible feedback mechanisms and ongoing monitoring that can inform project adaptations #WEECHAT2019 #IWD2019 #BalanceForBetter

[Krista Bywater @KristaBywater]

Listen to, learn from, & collaborate with women to ensure that technology meets their needs. And we shouldn't impose technological interventions before conducting a #genderanalysis #WEECHAT2019 #IWD2019 #BalanceforBetter

[Krista Bywater @KristaBywater]

A1. Because of the gender digital divide women entrepreneurs are less able than men to access online banking services that they can use to grow their business @pciglobal #WEECHAT2019 #IWD2019 #Balanceforbetter

[Krista Bywater @KristaBywater]

A3. Targets of tech-facilitated #GBV can feel unsafe (physically, mentally, emotionally, etc.) in our everyday lives. Worrying about how online violence may manifest into stalking and have repercussions on our personal and professional reputations #weechat2019 #IWD2019 @ICRW

[International Center for Research on Women @ICRW]

Q3: Harassment and violence are not confined to online platforms. There are offline consequences and links between the two. How does tech-facilitated gender-based violence (#GBV) manifest itself offline? #WEECHAT2019 @TheSEEPNetwork #IWD2019
