N2  - Disease outbreaks affect women and men differently, and pandemics make existing inequalities for women and girls and discrimination of other marginalized groups such as persons with disabilities and those in extreme poverty, worse. This needs to be considered, given the different impacts surrounding detection and access to treatment for women and men.

Women represent 70 percent of the health and social sector workforce globally and special attention should be given to how their work environment may expose them to discrimination, as well as thinking about their sexual and reproductive health and psychosocial needs as frontline health workers. (From the website). This is a Technical brief from UNFPA.  See the EVAW COVID-19 briefs published by UN Women for more detail on preventing VAWG and supporting survivors during COVID-19 Record #6574
