Since last February, over 2.3 million women have dropped out of the workforce, compared to just 1.8 million men who left the labor force between February 2020 and 2021, according to data compiled by the National Women’s Law Center. And many of those women are still unemployed because they are caring for children who are not in school or daycare.

Global Austerity Alert: Looming Budget Cuts in 2021-25 - Gender
NEW YORK and NAIROBI, Apr 15 2021 (IPS) - Last week Ministers of Finance met virtually at the Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank to discuss policies to tackle the pandemic and socio-economic recovery.
But a global study just published by the Initiative for Policy Dialogue at Columbia University, international trade unions and civil society organizations, sounds an alert of an emerging austerity shock: Most governments are imposing budget cuts, precisely at a time when their citizens and economies are in greater need of public support.

The 2021 report highlights why bodily autonomy is a universal human right that must be respected and reveals the severity in which it is undermined, violated and denied. “Our communities and countries can flourish only when every individual has the power to make decisions about their bodies and to chart their own futures,” said UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Natalia Kanem.
COVID & Pregnancy Guidelines
Извор: WUNRN – 13.04.2021
Are pregnant women at higher risk from COVID-19?
Pregnant women or recently pregnant women who are older, overweight, and have pre-existing medical conditions such as hypertension and diabetes seem to have an increased risk of developing severe COVID-19. When pregnant women develop severe disease, they also seem to more often require care in intensive care units than non-pregnant women of reproductive age.
Due to changes in their bodies and immune systems, we know that pregnant women can be badly affected by some respiratory infections. It is therefore important that they take precautions to protect themselves against COVID-19, and report possible symptoms (including fever, cough or difficulty in breathing) to their healthcare provider.
WHO will continue to review and update its information and advice as more evidence becomes available.

UN Committee issues recommendations to protect children’s rights in digital environment
Извор: WUNRN – 27.03.2021
GENEVA (24 March 2021) — The Child Rights Committee today published its legal guidance note on how States should protect children’s rights with regard to the digital environment.
The guidance note, also known as general comment, is the result of a two-year consultation with States parties, inter-governmental organizations, civil society, national human rights institutions and children. Over 700 children and young people, aged between nine and 22 years old in 27 countries, were asked how digital technology impacts their rights, and what actions they want to see taken to protect them.
