Ottawa Launch: The Lancet Commission Report

Societies are collapsing in the face of growing crises exacerbated by the consequences of sociopolitical and economic hardship, and there is a search for an antidote. The Lancet Commission asks, via meticulous literature reviews, cross-national statistical analyses, and comprehensive case studies, how can health equity and gender equality contribute to more peaceful communities?

Join AKFC, in partnership with Canada’s International Development Research Centre and the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs at Carleton University, for the Ottawa launch of the Lancet Commission’s report on “Peaceful Societies through Health Equity and Gender Equality”. Some of the report’s authors, partners, and field experts will join us to discuss the research findings and recommendations, as well as their implications for society, governments, and organizations.

Explore how the intertwining of health equity and gender equality can cast light upon the trail leading to societal harmony.
