In the wake of the pandemic,
marginalized sectors have become
more vulnerable, amid worsened
inequalities and widened gaps. Girls
and women are the most burdened
by the social and economic impacts.
Women lost livelihoods and incomes,
pushing an additional 47 million
women and girls into extreme poverty.
Social services and social security
nets that should have cushioned the
impact on women remain lacking and
inefficient due to neoliberal policies.
The pandemic also saw a rise in cases
of violence against women and an
increase in unpaid care and domestic
work.
