Womenâs economic empowerment critical for sustainable post-Covid recovery, African Development Bank country gender profiles show
27-Apr-2021
African women are still disproportionately affected by poverty, and the coronavirus pandemic is exacerbating gender inequalities, according to new African country gender profiles developed by the African Development Bank.
The profiles also found that gender stereotypes are present in most countries and have a negative impact on women s lives and livelihoods. Some of these impacts include a rise in gender-based violence, the heightened load of unpaid work and loss of livelihoods due to over-representation in the informal sector. The profiles call for gender issues to be prioritized in the Covid-19 recovery processes.
