New Report: COVID-19 Global Health Security Depends on Women: Rebalancing the unequal social contract for women
On 17 September 2020 Women in Global Health is launching a hard-hitting new report ‘COVID-19 Global Health Security Depends on Women: Rebalancing the unequal social contract for women’ to coincide with the Women in Global Health Security Summit.
In March 2020 as the pandemic began to escalate globally Women in Global Health issued a Call to Action with ‘Five Asks for Global Health Security Now and in the Future.’ This report charts how the response to COVID-19 has been weakened by fundamental inequalities between women and men that can and must be rectified to ensure future global health security.
Global health is not broken, it was built unequally. Our health will only be secure when women in health have a fair social contract based on decent work and equality in decision making. This is everybody’s business.
