Women RISE research initiative is exploring the impact of the pandemic on women’s work and health
Water Institute member Dr. Susan Elliott, Professor and University Research Chair in Medical Geography talks about the Women Rise Together Across the Life Course (Write-life) project.
Around the world, women and girls have disproportionately suffered from the socio-economic impacts of COVID-19. Women have borne the brunt of layoffs and loss of livelihoods, sacrificed their own health at the frontlines of the pandemic response and disproportionately shouldered the burden of the additional caregiving associated with COVID-19.
