COVID-19 affects people of different genders differently, yet response strategies, policies and public health efforts more broadly, often do not address these gendered impacts. Understanding how global pandemics and disease outbreaks affect people of different genders is fundamental to design and implement response strategies and interventions that are effective and equal.

Furthermore, women, gender diverse folk, and people from marginalised communities, must be involved as leaders in building effective interventions that serve the communities they are impacting.

We’ll continue to add to this series as more information becomes available. Click on the links below to understand more about each specific topic.
