Recovering Rights: Governments’ Obligation to Ensure Substantive Gender Equality

August 2020

The Recovering Rights series from the Center for Economic and Social Rights (CESR) looks at opportunities for the post-COVID-19 transformation of our economies, with rights and justice at the centre. This brief, written in partnership with IWRAW Asia Pacific, discusses the disproportionate economic disadvantages faced by women as a result of the pandemic, and the actions that governments must undertake to ensure that their economic relief and recovery packages are gender-responsive. PDF format, two pages.
