Ilaria Capua will attend the A3.15 session scheduled on October 5th from 4:15 PM to 5:15 PM The legacy of COVID-19: mobilizing gender data to deliver better science
Moving from gender data to gendered policies and impacts. UN Women will present on their multicountry study of violence against women and the gendered socio-economic impacts under the pandemic. Findings from this work indicate that women’s job/income loss was associated with an increase in unpaid domestic and care work disproportionately shouldered by women. Aside from the negative effects on women’s mental and emotional well-being, results also indicate that women who reported feeling unsafe at home was mainly due to abuse from other adults in their household. This presentation will conclude with insights on how this research can be used to affect policy and gender budgeting.
