Women are key to an effective COVID-19 Pacific response
The impacts of COVID-19 are not gender-neutral. Women and girls face even higher rates of violence and sexual abuse, undertake more unpaid domestic work, access fewer essential health services, and are more vulnerable to economic hardship.

Like and follow us on Facebook The Support Unit of Pacific Women has developed three new strategic tools proposing actions to encourage and support a gender inclusive COVID-19 response in the Pacific, including a set of indicators to monitor and report on gendered impacts. The tools aim to help people working in government ministries, civil society and other organisations who need to analyse and report on COVID-19 response and impacts. |
