There has been significant progress made in the field of gender equality over the last few decades On the positive side, more girls are attending school while fewer girls are forced into early marriage More women occupy senior positions in organizations, and government legislation has been introduced to promote gender equality However, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has set back this limited progress Specifically, this challenging time aggravates the existing issues of gender discrimination in almost all aspects of life, from the economy to health and social protection As a direct consequence of lockdowns, school closures, and the increased needs of the elderly, women’s unpaid care work has risen

significantly Moreover, as women usually work in the informal economic sector, where jobs are more insecure, they are more likely to be harder hit by the outbreak and more vulnerable

to decreased income, unemployment, and poverty More sadly, research reveals that for those who have long been suffering from violent acts, lockdown measures exacerbate the situation

by trapping women at home with their abusers while they struggle to seek support from services suffering from budget cuts Taking all this into consideration, the United Nations Secretary-General urged governments to place women and girls at the heart of their recovery measures to enable a quicker and more sustainable recovery Hopefully, the COVID-19 pandemic is an opportunity for more positive actions to address long-term existing gender inequalities and empower women in all areas of their lives.
