#VoiceandChoice in the time of COVID-19
#VaccineGenderJustice
The 13th #VoiceandChoice Barometer reflects slow progress in advancing women’s rights in the Southern African Development Community (SADC). The unrelenting COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating effects on women’s voice and choice. The vaccine roll-out programme currently underway across the region is the best hope for consolidating the fragile gains made for women’s rights in the last decade. Sex disaggregated data remains patchy but this and anecdotal evidence show that if not the most infected, women are the most affected by the pandemic. This underscores the #VaccineGenderJustice campaign being launched with this Barometer. Download the executive summary in English, French and Portuguese. Download the full chapters below.
