Gender inequality underpins many problems which disproportionately affect women and girls, such as domestic and sexual violence, lower pay, lack of access to education, Period poverty and stigma. On the frontlines of fighting COVID-19, women are health professionals, community volunteers, transport and logistics managers, scientists and more at home, women are facing increased unpaid care work responsibilities, as well as less access to sexual and reproductive health and an increased risk of domestic violence. The pandemic and preventative measures have really emphasized society’s reliance on women and the inequalities they have been facing for too long. Therefore, BELL Organization partnered with The Bharati Foundation and other organizations on Women’s History Month to host “A Panel Discussion on Gender Biases”.
