The COVID-19 pandemic is not only affecting the global economy but is also exacerbating existing gender inequalities. The social, economic, and health consequences are disproportionately impacting the lives of women, girls and other marginalized groups such as older persons, persons with disabilities, LBTQ+ and those in extreme poverty. The UN policy brief on the ‘impact of COVID-19 on Women’ highlights that the compounded economic impacts, health impacts, increase in unpaid care work, and increased gender based violence (GBV) are ways in which COVID-19 is disproportionately impacting the lives of women and girls. The policy brief also states that all of these impacts are further amplified in contexts of fragility, conflict, and emergencies where social cohesion is already undermined and institutional capacity and services are limited; and emphasizes the need to ensure that recovery measure must “lead to a more equal world that is more resilient to future crisis.” Further, the diversion of attention and critical resources away from the provision of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, including maternal health (MH) care, family planning (FP) and GBV, which are central to health, rights and well-being of women and girls, may result in exacerbated maternal mortality and morbidity, increased rates of adolescent pregnancies, unsafe abortions, HIV and sexually transmitted infections. These impacts need to be considered in order to ensure that COVID response and recovery programmes cater to the needs of vulnerable populations and support the achievement of SDGs and ICPD commitments. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) country office together with UN Women intends to conduct an assessment to understand the impact of COVID-19 on women and girls including older women, women with disabilities, women with diverse sexual orientations and identities, and women living in extreme poverty. The assessment will provide insights on the impact of COVID-19 on pre-existing structural, social and economic vulnerabilities of these groups; and the challenges faced by them in accessing information and services (Health, protection, education, WASH etc.) and support for livelihood. The users of this assessment include government organizations, UNFPA and UNWOMEN staff, UN Country Team, development partners (DFAT and Canadian government), CSOs and other stakeholders engaged in COVID-19 response and recovery programmes.
