Gender equality is fundamental to fulfill everyone’s right to the optimum attainable common of overall health and is a essential driver of the Sustainable Growth Aims. The pandemic has uncovered vulnerabilities in social, political and economic
units and exacerbated a myriad of gender inequalities, which have further more amplified the impacts of the pandemic. COVID-19 has elevated women’s exposure to violence in their residences even as entry to expert services and their availability has lowered.
At the similar time, the pandemic has highlighted the vital worth of international well being stability and the contribution produced by health and fitness and care workers, the the greater part of whom are females.
Be a part of us as we carry ahead the momentum from the Generation Equality Discussion board for a discussion on the get the job done of international wellness-relevant initiatives to deal with gender inequality and boost the need for gender transformative strategies in COVID-19 restoration and
beyond.
