(CNN)Health to Economics, Safety to Social Protection, COVID- The effects of 19 are exacerbated by women and girls simply by gender.
There is no priority, but here is a summary of what they said.
Invest in structural changes
"Not only do you give women a little gift or do something small before the election? If you really want to solve the problem, "rebuilding in a more gender-equal way requires a'huge investment'," said UN WomenÅsa Regnér's deputy secretary-general, an elephant in the room. I called.
"If you want to take parental leave to hold a man accountable for your baby, if you want to take advantage of a comprehensive parental system, or if you really want to meet the needs of elderly care in the northern part of the world-this is enormous. All of this costs a lot of money. "
Mr. Legner said that the conversation about policy is good, but to make a concrete change, resources,feminist taxation {48. }, He said that frank conversations about gender budgets are also needed.
Carlien Scheele, director of the European Institute for Gender Equality, agreed with.
"I looked at the percentage of EU funding spent on gender equality, butis about 1%,, so gender budget-specific for women With the budget to carry out the activity, Sher said, "Men should be feasible," "everyone admits that women were disproportionately affected during the crisis. One step forward. And it feels like three steps back. It would be great if these plans focused on three. We will move forward. "
One way to achieve that is not later, but. Adopting gender lenses from the beginning of initiatives and policies, said Sadia Zahidi, managing director of theWorld Economic Forum.
"The way to think about this at the World Economic Forum is that the future growth model needs to be built more broadly. It is an economic policy or a future plan. Whether it's infrastructure or green, we need to think about bringing equality to this mix. Think later, as a handout, as a gift, later. It's not something that happens, "added Zahidi.
Find political will to make changes
Jennifer Klein, White HouseGender Equality Council Directorshe calls her As described, we are in the process of implementing the first USGender Equality and Equality National Strategy, "in cooperation with literally all federal agencies around the US Government."
She told other roundtable participants: "Gender equality is not only a matter of human rights, justice and justice, but also a strategic urgent issue in the United States. It reduces poverty, promotes economic growth and increases access. Contributes to education and health. It improves the above outcomes and promotes political stability. These are the goals that benefit everyone. ”
However, in reality, there is still a long way to go. For example, colored women in the United Stateshave disproportionately poor mother health, and women in Latina are projected to close thegender pay gapin 432 years, the United States. And the world is still aborting From a statement that the Supreme Court is considering a rollback ofRoevWade-a groundbreaking law that has given women in all states the right to abortion.
Canada's Minister of International Development, Harjit Sajjan, described the country as "feminist government" on behalf of its northern neighbors in the United States, but achieved gender equality. He admitted that there was still more work to be done to do so.
"We were fully committed to the feminist approach as a government, but we still found vulnerabilities in our approach, which we need to be honest about. He described one of these vulnerabilities as an inadequate childcare option for families keeping more women at home. The government sought to fix the problem by launching theEarly Learning and Childcare Agreementlast year to improve access to day care facilities.
Saajan also used Canada'sFeminist International Assistance Policy, launched in 2017, as an example of why government leadership on gender equality is important and the importance of accountability. I emphasized.
"Every policy that goes through a government that requires approval must contain a strong Gender Analysis element, otherwise it will be returned for further work. This forces us within government to ensure that all policies, whether economic, defense or natural resources, pass through the feminist lens. "
Working on the Care Economy
Covid-19 reveals the disproportionate burden women feel on care. Last year, the G7 Gender Equality Advisory Board reported that women and girls, on average, have three times as much unpaid care and domestic work as men and boys worldwide, which is their academic background. It is affecting financial opportunities.
Addressing inequality in the care economy, a paid and unpaid job of childcare, household responsibilities and elderly care, is important in leveling the competition for the restoration of gender equality. All participants agreed that it was a good step.
"We have made progress in getting women into the labor market in the last few decades, but so much in taking men home and distributing their unpaid work. That wasn't done, "said Sarah Wraith, deputy director of the UKWomen's Budget Group,.
In 2020, her organization announced acare-led recovery plan. It says, "Investing in childcare, social care, healthcare and education actually gives you better benefits. Your investment." "So if you want to create an economic basis for why you need to re-plan better from Covid, it creates more jobs."
Canadian economist Armin Jarnisan argued that not only job creation should be focused, but all jobs should be focused on ensuring that they are good jobs.
She describes a good job as a job that has living wages, paid leave, access to basic health / education services, and legal worker rights. Yalnizyan explained that this approach focuses on the pre-distribution of the economy, rather than the redistribution policies such as unemployment benefits and taxes that the government would "apologize for rather than modify".
“Everyone needs long-term care in various aspects of life, such as childcare, long-term care, home care, hospital care, and education. Providing long-term care could actually change people's lives everywhere. "
Dealing with the lack of expression
Even before the pandemic, Italy has the lowest expression of women in the workforce,ne. In fact, the Italian Equal Opportunity Minister Elena Bonetti admitted.
She highlighted a recentgovernment initiativeto increase women's participation in the labor market. Bonetti citesthe current 51% employment rateas evidence of success, but says that greater cultural obstacles need to be overcome in order to fully empower women in the workplace. She admitted. “Stereotypes that prevent women from reaching their full potential in society are very powerful.”
From a banking and financial perspective, theInternational Monetary Fundgender Ratna Sahei, head of economic research, explained how the lack of female representation at the senior decision-making level is not the case. Not only does she hurt the woman herself, but she hurt the entire industry.
Following insights from her upcoming research, Sahay said: "It's shocking that the average share of female CEOs in banks around the world was only 5%. The percentage of female directors in commercial banks is only 23%. ** Andour own researchfound that banks with a high proportion of female directors had a large capital buffer and a low proportion of bad debt, and were more resistant to stress. "
" This is "Gender diverse boards, not because women claim to be good, but because they have so few board representatives," Sahai added. If so many institutions failed for a very long time, self-organization was needed, and the Secretary-General of the Hawaii State Commission on Women's Status, Hawaii'sFeminist Economic Recovery Plan{ Khara Jabola-Carolus, author of 146}, explained.154}
"In Hawaii, where our feminist economic recovery plan seems to have worked, the traditional suggestion of inclusion and participation in what most women consider poor in the working class as a bad system. It deviates very much from the recommendations. ”
Jabola-Carolus also makes a lasting change only for politicians.
"The public is not interested in any further gradualism," said Jabora Carolus. "We now need to plan as thoroughly as abuse and exploitation in women's lives," said Jabora Carrolls.
She concludes: How to replace politicians who do not support our initiative. That's what it takes to realize these recommendations at the end of the day.
