Women & the pandemic
The impact of COVID-19 on women threatens the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and hinders our work towards more inclusive, resilient, gender-equal and sustainable societies.
The United Nations Secretary-General
Women have been disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with existing divides exposed and exacerbated by the crisis.
Women are suffering now more than ever from unemployment, inequalities in the workplace, and increased childcare responsibilities; lockdown measures have led to a catastrophic rise in instances of domestic violence and abuse.
What can we learn from the pandemic as it relates to the experience of women? How can we begin to make up the ground lost, and ensure that the rights of women are not set back by decades? Can we imagine a more inclusive, resilient, gender-equal sustainable society post-pandemic?
If you'd like to contribute to the discussion, or have research relating to gender inequality, we'd love you to get in touch.
