SUMMARY:COVID-19 & Violence Against Women and Girls with Michelle Nunn
DESCRIPTION:COVID-19 has further compounded existing gender inequalities\, putting already marginalized women and girls – with weaker access to political and economic power – at greater risk. While policies put in place to mitigate the spread of this raging pandemic should keep women and girls safe and healthy\, they are not necessarily creating this positive outcome. Besides creating additional barriers for them to access health care\, there is compelling evidence that lockdowns are leading to a rise in violence against women and girls.   \nMichelle Nunn\, President & CEO of CARE USA\, will discuss how the humanitarian world and CARE USA are stepping up to the plate to help women and girls around the world overcome this pandemic.
