COVID-19 Disproportionately Hurts Women

Description

The COVID-19 pandemic has set gender equality back years, reports CNN. Women around the world are taking on the "lion's share" of extra domestic chores. Everyone has taken on extra work throughout the pandemic, but women face a greater burden of care. UN Women analyzed available data in 38 countries to collect the figures on unpaid work. They found women were taking on more household tasks than men throughout the pandemic. 60% of women reported that they had spent more time on unpaid domestic work since the pandemic began.
