Gendered effects of the pandemic in Africa – ways forward

The pandemic has affected women and girls in South Africa and Uganda in adverse ways further emphasising existing gender inequalities. During this webinar, we will raise the following issues; What are the experiences from the pandemic of different South African and Ugandan women? How has the pandemic affected women’s care work? And what have the implications been for sexual and gender-based violence?

We will also address the local responses from the women’s organisations, and debate to which extent gender perspectives are reflected in post-pandemic responses such as national policies and plans for recovery.

The webinar will be moderated by Diana Højlund Madsen, Senior Gender Researcher, The Nordic Africa Institute
