Gender and Health Research Agenda Setting for COVID-19: Initial Results

UNU-IIGH and the School of Public Health at the University of the Western Cape co-convene a collaborative gender and COVID-19 research agenda-setting exercise. By inviting responses from civil society members, donors, policymakers, implementors and researchers, the aim is to build consensus on research priorities to address a gender transformative health sector response to COVID-19. One that addresses gender biases across various dimensions of the health sector ranging from the bench sciences involved, the nature of healthcare provided across clinics and homes, and the representativeness of COVID policy processes to galvanize feminist action.
