Gender disparities during COVID-19 extend far beyond infection rates. Scientific evidence indicates that the indirect effects of COVID-19 have disproportionately impacted women. Gender intersects with economic, social, environmental, and health factors, creating a complex web of challenges. This webinar explores how these differences manifest across various facets of the crisis, spanning from the workplace to the home.
HELICON has invited five leading researchers in the field to discuss the health risks faced by different genders during the pandemic. Recognizing and addressing these gender-specific challenges is not only a matter of equity but also crucial for developing targeted and effective responses.
Join us as our experts delve into the intricacies of gender disparities and share their insights on formulating effective health strategies. This webinar serves as a platform to equip participants with the knowledge needed to foster a more inclusive and targeted response to the ongoing challenges posed by COVID-19.
