Webinar on Gender Responsiveness of Policy Responses to COVID across Select Countries 6 May, 2022

CBGA and Feminist Policy Collective jointly organised a Webinar on ‘Gender Responsiveness of Policy Responses to COVID across Select Countries’ held on May 6, 2022 (Friday) from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm UTC (4:30 pm to 6:30 pm IST).

The Webinar delved into the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on women and persons of marginalised gender and sexual identities, the challenges moving forward, and the policy responses witnessed so far across select countries. It brought together voices from different contexts and regions (in the Global South) to discuss the gender responsiveness of the policy responses to the pandemic.

Key discussion points included:

-What has been the gendered impact of the pandemic in different regions and contexts?

-How have policy responses addressed the issues faced by women and persons of marginalised gender and sexual identities through the pandemic?

-What are the gaps and what should the ideal policy response be, to ensure a swift and equitable recovery from the pandemic?

-How are civil society organisations across regions highlighting the gendered impact of the pandemic to policy-makers?
