As Former First Lady Michelle Obama once said, “Communities and countries and ultimately the world, are only as strong as the health of their women.” The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated gender inequities by shifting vital resources away from many violence against women and girl programs in the community and creating barriers to access. This reality has the potential of eroding progress made to achieve the United Nation’s fifth Sustainable Development Goal, which is to “achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls”. In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, Lindsay Belvedere, a Senior Policy Advisor, joins us to have a conversation about the types of gender-based violence (GBV), burden on women and girls, and some long-term health consequences.
