COVID-19 RESPONSE
Resources: Feminist Responses to COVID-19
As the global epidemic escalates, feminists from across the world have been examining its gendered impacts and the need for feminist approaches to be at the heart of all responses.
We have gathered a list of some helpful resources. Please continue to refer back here as we continue to add more resources to this page.
We have summarised many of the resources and feminist policy positions on COVID-19 economic recovery in our briefing: ‘Feminist proposals for a just, equitable and sustainable post-COVID-19 economic recovery’.

Communication on COVID-19 with the Secretary of State for International Development
In the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, GADN, alongside its sister networks and a select number of CEOs from our member organisations wrote to the Secretary of State for International Development. Collectively, we wished to highlight the need for a strong gender analysis to be at the heart of DFID's Coronavirus response, as well as to encourage increased support to local women's rights organisations who were acting as frontline responders.
