GPHW2023: Barrières à la vaccination contre le VPH : comment y répondre pour favoriser une équité vaccinale au niveau mondial

Theme: Empowering Our Communities – Protecting Minorities & the Most Vulnerable

Date and Time: 05 April 2023 | 19:00 – 19:30 (CEST)

Event Description: Le Virus du papillome humain (VPH) est une des maladies transmissibles sexuellement (ITS) les plus répandues au monde. Plusieurs types de VPH ont été identifiés comme étant cancérigènes. Le VPH est d’ailleurs responsable de plus de 95% des cancers du col de l’utérus. Ce cancer est, au niveau mondial, le quatrième cancer le plus fréquent chez les femmes. Malheureusement, sur l’ensemble des décès causés par ce cancer en 2020, 90% sont survenus dans des pays à faible ou moyen développement. Considérant que plusieurs types de vaccin existent afin d’aider à prévenir l’infection au VPH, le manque de couverture vaccinale dans les pays à faible et moyen développement constitue une grave iniquité de santé. De plus, les femmes sont beaucoup plus à risque de graves complications, voire de décès, suite à la contraction du VPH. Le manque de couverture vaccinale constitue donc également une iniquité de santé au niveau du genre. Dans ce webinaire, nous discuterons des barrières à la vaccination contre le VPH dans les pays à faible et moyen développement, et des stratégies pour y répondre, en prenant en compte le contexte social, économique, et politique.

GPHW2023: Women’s Education and Maternal Health, Focusing on Fertility

Theme: Empowering Our Communities – Protecting Minorities & the Most Vulnerable

Date and Time: 05 April 2023 | 17:00 – 19:00 (CEST)

Event Description: In this seminar event, I will be looking to investigate the effects of an increase in overall women’s education, on the total fertility rate of women around the world. According to Roser (2019), improving women’s education improves women’s rights and opportunities, but it also promotes healthier societies by advancing the demographic shift and reducing birth rates to curb population growth. So to examine how improving the overall standing of women’s education could affect fertility rates, I will specifically look at the correlation between girls’ primary school completion, contraceptive use, and the average number of babies born to women. It’s important to note that birth rate and fertility rate are two different rates that often go hand in hand. “The birth rate is the annual number of births per 1,000 of the population, and the total fertility rate is the average number of children a woman would have assuming that current age-specific birth rates remain constant, throughout her childbearing years” (Smoak, 2019). Participants will be Global Health King’s College, Global Mental Health (Msc) King’s College London and LSHTM, MPH students at LSHTM and Imperial, the above post-graduate students and faculties have shown interest in the abstract shared of this paper and are willing to attend the seminar event during GPHW and virtually and in person, it will be open to anyone interested in attending.
