Understanding the gendered dimensions of COVID-19

A Global Health Research in Focus Webinar.

Pandemics, including COVID-19, are not gender neutral. Evidence shows that the current COVID-19 pandemic is differentially affecting men, women, and people of other genders – both in terms of immediate primary effects and more long term secondary effects. This webinar will discuss the gendered dimensions of COVID-19 in three country contexts, drawing on evidence from two gender and COVID projects working across nine contexts.

Speakers:
Dr Denise Nacif Pimenta, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation
Dr Clare Wenham, London School of Economics
Dr Julia Smith, Simon Fraser University
Dr Rosemary J Morgan, Bloomberg School of Public Health
