COVID-19 Program Guidance Report
- The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted lives around the world through the direct health effects of the virus, and the far-reaching economic and social consequences of government efforts to curb its spread. The pandemic has significantly increased the burden of unpaid care work carried out by women and girls and threatened their livelihoods. Increasing financial stress and social isolation measures have heightened womens’ and girls’ vulnerability to gender-based violence and reduced access to health care, including sexual and reproductive health related services and supports. Adolescence offers a critical window of opportunity to equip vulnerable and energetic young people with knowledge, skills and confidence that build their resilience during times of crisis. Effective models for empowering adolescent girls in particular are needed as we navigate a path towards gender-transformative COVID recovery across the globe.
