The Girl in the Pandemic

Some have referred to the current Covid-19 crisis as a “tale of two pandemics” in reference to both the obvious health issues and the pervasive gender inequalities that have become exacerbated. All around the world, girls and young women are facing increasing levels of precariousness. In this talk, our speakers from Quebec, South Africa and Ethiopia, will highlight how the question becomes one of how to address these new contexts. They will also speak to how critical it is that we learn with and from girls and young women in a time of distancing, and when our efforts could do more harm than good.
