Webinar: Masked Heroines? Building Resilience Begins with a Gender-Equitable Health Workforce
The COVID-19 pandemic is exposing the deep inequities that undermine global health, especially gender inequities impacting women front line health and care workers.
In the Year of the Nurse and Midwife, few health and care workers (many of whom are women) have safe and decent working conditions, appropriate protection and equal and timely pay.
How many decision-makers in health systems are women? Do we collect sufficient data and evidence to understand the implications of COVID-19 on female health workers?
Speakers will share the perspectives of female health workers during this pandemic, and review lessons learnt from previous large-scale outbreaks – how health systems lose when gender equality is ignored, what can be done better, and how we all may gain by applying a gender lens.
