FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “International Women’s Day: Years of work undone by Covid-19 pandemic” – below is their description.
Today is International #WomensDay, a day that is celebrated on the 8th March every year and it is a day that is very much the focal point in the movement for women’s rights. The theme this year is “Choose to Challenge”, which organisers say is aimed at challenging gender bias and inequality everywhere whether it be in government, in the workplace, in sports, in healthcare to name but a few fields. But with the world ravaged by a pandemic, the past 12 months have been like no other in modern history so what has COVID-19 meant for the women’s rights movement? Has progress been reversed? And has the crisis created any new opportunities?
