The socioeconomic effects of COVID-19 on women
November 3, 2021--The pandemic has disproportionately affected women both professionally and at home.

As billions are spent to accelerate the recovery and stabilise economic growth, it is important to highlight that not all members of society are emerging from this crisis in the same way and to understand why. The COVID-19 pandemic affected women significantly differently from men in many dimensions. Pre-existing deep rooted gender inequalities have been exacerbated so much that this pandemic has been referred to as a step backwards for gender equality.
