Addressing Gender Disparities in COVID-19 Recoveries
b'
Around the world, the coronavirus pandemic has taken an especially high toll on women and girls. From public health to education to jobs and livelihoods, studies have revealed a gender disparity in the impact of COVID-19 that is particularly wide in lower- and middle-income countries. Yet for all the work that\\u2019s been done, experts say there\\u2019s still a lot they don\\u2019t know about how these impacts are being felt across different communities.
To help address this problem, the Center for Global Development recently launched a new initiative to analyze the gendered impacts of the pandemic and study policy responses around the world with the aim of addressing the long-term causes of gender inequality. The leader of the initiative, Megan O\\u2019Donnell, discussed her work with WPR\\u2019s Elliot Waldman this week on the Trend Lines podcast.\\xa0
