Impacts of Covid-19 on Gender Equality
June 12, 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on our societies and economies, of which women, especially women of colour, Indigenous women, and low-income women have been disproportionately impacted. Women both on the frontlines and at home have been faced with significant challenges and those living in societies impacted by conflict even more so. COVID-19 reminds us of the important need to respond to the pandemic using an intersectional gendered lens in order to build a resilient world in the interest of everyone but most importantly with women and girls at the centre of recovery.
Our panelists will discuss:
Why the World Needs More Women Leaders
Intersectional Feminism and Social Justice
The Shadow Pandemic; Combatting Violence Against Women
Women’s Mental Health in the TIme of COVID-19
