520			_aWHO calls on its Member States and all global actors to guide investments in quality and gender-sensitive research on the adverse health, social and economic impacts of COVID-19. Countries are advised to incorporate a focus on gender into their COVID-19 responses in order to ensure that public health policies and measures to curb the epidemic take account of gender and how it interacts with other areas of inequality. The six key issues Member States and their partners are asked to address at: 1. There is limited availability of sex- and age-disaggregated data, thus hampering analysis of the gendered implications of COVID-19 and the development of appropriate responses. 2. Violence against women and children increases during lockdowns. 3. Access to sexual and reproductive health and rights for women and girls may be reduced during the pandemic. 4. Health and social workers face increased risk and vulnerability. 5. Inequities of access to information, prevention, care and financial and social protection are likely to affect the poor disproportionately, as well as other populations facing social exclusion, thus potentially exacerbating existing inequities. 6. Increased stigma and discrimination are occurring and can hamper effective response. (From the document). Record #6647
