Pacific Women Thematic Brief, updatedMarch2021

This Thematic Brief provides information and analysis about gendered impacts and priorities for responses to COVID-19 in the Pacific.

Refer to the Pacific Women COVID-19 webpage for a full list of resources and partner stories.

There are ten key messages in this Thematic Brief providing information and analysis about the gendered impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Pacific and priorities for responses. The messages, while not an exhaustive list, provide a summary of the key gendered impacts highlighted by development actor reports, civil society organisations, anecdotal evidence from Pacific Women partners, media and other sources.
