Leaving no one behind: the COVID-19 crisis through the disability and gender lens
Published by UN DESA's Division for Inclusive Social Development as Policy Brief #69, this brief examines how COVID-19 exposed and exacerbated pre-existing inequalities facing women and girls with disabilities, who face intersecting discrimination related to health care, employment, gender-based violence and unpaid care work. It provides policy guidance for governments and stakeholders to adopt inclusive, accessible measures that mitigate the crisis's impacts and build more resilient, disability- and gender-inclusive societies.
