COVID-19: A Gender Lens
Disease outbreaks affect women and men differently, and pandemics make existing inequalities for women and girls and discrimination of other marginalized groups such as persons with disabilities and those in extreme poverty, worse. This needs to be considered, given the different impacts surrounding detection and access to treatment for women and men.
Women represent 70 percent of the health and social sector workforce globally and special attention should be given to how their work environment may expose them to discrimination, as well as thinking about their sexual and reproductive health and psychosocial needs as frontline health workers.
Strategy for addressing child early/forced marriage (special forcus on girls)
The strategy for combating child/early/forced marriage has been developed as a joint effort of the Gender Based Violence Sub-Cluster (GBVSC) and Child Protection Working Group (CPWG) to guide stakeholders in addressing increased rates of child/early/forced marriage in conflict-affected areas in the West Bank and Gaza and among identified communities in humanitarian and development contexts. It is informed by the HRP priority protection interventions and Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 5.3) that urges countries to eliminate all harmful practices particularly child/early/forced and forced marriage. It responds to the basic rights stipulated in CEDAW and CRC to protect children and girls from child/early/forced marriage and its adverse consequences on their ability to survive, thrive and fulfil their potential.
