Examining how the livelihoods, health, and well-being of women in Central and West Asia were disproportionately affected by the pandemic, this report assesses responses and considers how the experience can guide gender mainstreaming.

Emphasizing the need for better granular data, the report looks at intersecting vulnerabilities and at how policies that prioritize women's economic security and strengthen social protection can better insulate them against future shocks.
