Topic: Closing the Gender Gap – Prioritising A Gender-Centric Economic Recovery
For years, women have been denied many of their basic rights, leading to sustained adverse effects. While there have been many advances in the reduction of the gender parity gap, the COVID-19 pandemic has further amplified the shortcomings of these efforts. This webinar will unpack the root of the sustained gender parity gap while also addressing gender-based violence, treatment of women in the workplace and answering questions such as: How were the efforts for gender equality lost in the building of a democracy? What can be done to harness opportunities presented by the pandemic to empower women and ensure advanced inclusive growth? How do we ensure that gender is at the centre of economic rebuilding?
