Gender equality (challeges)


There has been progress over the last decades:
More girls are going to school, fewer girls are
forced into early marriage, more women are
serving in parliament and positions of leadership,
and laws are being reformed to advance gender
equality.
Despite these gains, many challenges remain:
1.discriminatory laws and social norms remain
pervasive
2.Women continue to be underrepresented at all
levels of political leadership
3. Lack of acess to land credits agricultural
inputs and market increase women's vulnerability
to extreme climate events
4.The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic

The pandemic has also led to a steep increase in


violence against women and girls. With lockdown
measures in place, many women are trapped at
home with their abusers, struggling to access
services that are suffering from cuts and
restrictions
1 in 5 women and girls between the ages of 15
and 49 report experiencing physical or sexual
violence by an intimate partner within a 12-month
period.
Women are also harder hit by the economic
impacts of COVID-19, as they disproportionately
work in insecure labour markets. Nearly 60 per
cent of women work in the informal economy,
which puts them at greater risk of falling into
poverty
