Women workers need support now more than ever.

The current COVID-19 crisis has raised numerous legal and policy challenges around worker safety, economic stability, and healthcare access, and has made us all the more aware that women workers continue to experience devastating gender and racial wage discrimation. Many of the issues at the forefront of this crisis highlight inequities in our society, with women, people of color, immigrant communities, and low-income people suffering acutely. The issues we see so prominently in the face of today's public health and economic crisis are not new or surprising—we have been working towards eradicating these inequities for half a century.

It identifies policy priorities for governments and recommends measures to shape a short-term response to the gendered impact of the pandemic and to facilitate a long-term transformative agenda for inclusive gender equality.
