Gender Equality, Peace and Security in a COVID-19 World

Now and the Future - Pandemics and Crisis: Gender Equality, Peace and Security in a COVID-19 World and Beyond has 22 partners and is based on consultation with over 200 organisations in 10 countries.

It consists of a multi-country report and country specific reports which provide an important body of evidence that the international community and governments can use to develop short and long-term programmes that address the impact of COVID-19, future global pandemics and crises, gender inequality, peace and security.

Women for Women International is proud to be one of the partners who participated in the research, sharing findings from Nigeria and Afghanistan.

Global Goals

Global Goals

subtitle:

The UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development are a global call to end poverty, fight inequality and to ensure all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030.

The Goals are accompanied by the commitment to ‘Leave No One Behind’. We are concerned that the Goals are currently failing the women we serve and that they are continuing to be left behind.
