Recording of Round-table 9 - Gender-responsive social protection in times of COVID-19

This is the Recording of Round-table 9 - Gender-responsive social protection in times of COVID-19 at the Global e-Conference Turning the COVID-19 crisis into an opportunity: What's next for social protection? Social protection responses to COVID-19 have rarely considered gender in their design and implementation. This session explored why this has been the case – why have we not done more to respond to women and girls’ specific needs, what do we need to do to ensure a gender-responsive recovery, and how can we ensure a better response to the next crisis. Speakers looked to the future to discuss how we can build back stronger with more gender-responsive social protection systems. This session was organised by the SPIAC-B Gender Group, Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), World Bank, UNICEF, Irish Aid, FAO.
