and the insecurity and precariousness of their paid labour all contribute to the feminisation of poverty and women’s

This means that even as women are disproportionately affected by the crisis, they have less say in how t...heir communities and country respond to it, increasing the risk of a COVID-19 response that does not adequately address the needs and priorities of the most vulnerable women and girls.
