COVID-19 THROUGH THE LENS OF GENDER

Abstract

Large-scale emergencies, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, have a widespread impact across multiple areas. In COVID-19, evidence of gender and sexual difference social and economic impacts is increasing. Although online resources have worked to compile this evidence, the available gender and gender-disaggregated data relating to COVID-19 must be assessed and synthesized. This literature review will evaluate and compile current literature and evidence from several disciplines systematically. We will include pairs reviewed papers, clinical and reporting studies and relevant research papers through secondary and primary analysis of data. The evidence of multitudinous outcomes, including sexual and gender differences in diets, severity, treatment outcomes, exposure to violence, mental and psychosocial assistance, and economic insecurity will be synthesized and described in the COVID-19. These results can be used to inform policy, identify research gaps, and support priority interventions recommendations. Pandemics and outbreaks affect both women and men differently. Experiences of individuals are likely to vary depending on their biological and genders characteristics and their interaction with other social determinants, due to risk of exposure and the biological susceptibility to infections. Therefore, the preparation and response of COVID-19 must be grounded in a strong analyzed gender and ensure meaningful participation in the decision-making and execution of affected groups, including women and girls. WHO calls on its Member States and all global players to direct investments in quality and gender-sensitive research into the negative impacts of COVID-19 on health, society and economy .Countries should include a focus upon gender in their COVID-19 reactions to ensure that gender and how it interacts with other areas of inequality are taken into account in public health policy and measures to curbs the epidemic. In this article, the gender base analysis is demonstrated by ongoing Covid -19.
