Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination

Origin - 2020 - June Standing Committee

In the draft resolution, after paragraph 8, insert the following paragraph:

"The COVID-19 pandemic has affected women and men differently, increased gender inequalities and made women and girls more vulnerable to violations of their human rights in areas including gender-based and domestic violence and sexual and reproductive health and rights. Policies in response to the pandemic should consider the gendered aspects of the crisis. Sexual and reproductive health and rights should be prioritised, and adequate resources should be allocated."
