Women and Girls Left Behind: Glaring Gaps in Pandemic Responses

Women and Girls Left Behind: Glaring Gaps in Pandemic Responses

التنسيق *
As the pandemic forced governments to improvise responses, UN Women moved quickly to collect data on how COVID-19 was impacting women and men to inform decision-making. Since March 2020, rapid gender assessments on the socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 were conducted in at least 58 countries. They focused on five areas of concern: 1) economic activities and resources; 2) unpaid domestic and care work; 3) access to goods and services, 4) emotional and physical wellbeing; and 5) relief measures. The surveys confirmed that women and men are experiencing the pandemic differently. The findings have since been used to inform critical gender-responsive policies and recovery plans to build back better. This report summarizes survey findings across the 5 areas of concern, highlighting where the gaps are and where the data has already had an impact.
