FICCI-KAS Virtual Dialogues: The New Normal Series, Dialogue Two: The New Normal and Evolution in Gender Roles: The Gender Lens to COVID-19

The ‘New Normal’ series second dialogue will look at the impact of corona outbreak through a gender lens. Globally, all countries are grappling with the impact of the global pandemic of covid-19 and trying to contain the spread of this pernicious virus. Research suggests that women could be impacted through his crisis disproportionately and that gender gaps can easily widen due to this global pandemic impacting the gender equality outcomes arrived at through many decades of upholding economic empowerment by various state and non-state actors.

It is vital and important that all national policy responses place women and girls championing the cause for inclusion, representation, rights, social and economic outcomes, equality and protection - at the fulcrum if they are to have the essential impacts. This ideation and implementations not just about correcting long-standing societal gender inequalities but also about creating a more fair and resilient life world for all global citizens. This centrality of notion stated above is in the interests of not only women and girls but also boys and men. The gender equation will be the hardest hit by this pandemic, but this may serve as a backbone of recovery in various communities across the globe. Every policy response brought about by state and non-state actors that recognize these factors will be more attuned to the needs of the society.
