As
economies close in
response to COVID-19,
women face significant
risks to their health and
livelihoods. In the
transport sector, where
women are already
significantly
under-represented, they
face precarious and
vulnerable employment
situations that any
COVID-19-related economic
crisis will accentuate, in
a differentiated way to
that facing men in the
sector.
Any post-COVID-19 response
must recognise these
gender differences,
involve both men and women
in its development and be
equitable and inclusive in
its impact. This free
webinar draws on current
experiences from experts
around the world working
in this field and will
draw together thoughts on
key issues and useful
initiatives in place or
planned to address them.
