"Does the handle of a jhadu (broom) come printed with the words: 'to be operated by women only'?"

Maintaining sexual and reproductive health during COVID-19 pandemic

According to OECD, about 1.8 billion people live in fragile contexts worldwide. Approximately a quarter of these are women and girls of reproductive age. Experience from past epidemics shows that discontinuing healthcare services deemed unrelated to the epidemic resulted in poor sexual and reproductive health. The Inter-Agency Working Group for Reproductive Health in Crises has emphasized the importance of the availability of sexual health services during public health emergencies.

COVID-19 pandemic and gender-based violence

In pandemics, especially ones that require quarantine, gender-based violence (GBV) often increases. School closures and quarantine imposed during the Ebola outbreak in West Africa led to women experiencing more sexual violence. This, coupled with disruption in GBV services due to the health crisis, resulted in limited access to public health services and justice systems. COVID-19 is an opportunity to do right by supporting the vulnerable in our communities.
