He said millions of women's jobs have been lost at the same time that their unpaid work has "increased exponentially" as a result of school closures and children being at home, and the increased needs of older people.
The secretary-general said the year 2020 marks the 25th anniversary of the UN conference in Beijing that adopted a 150-page road map to achieve gender equality and was intended to be "ground-breaking" in promoting progress toward that goal. Guterres warned that "progress lost takes years to regain," citing as an example teenage girls who are out of school and may never return.
He called for women to be put in leadership roles, with equal representation and decision-making power.
*Sarcasm trigger* - during COVID-19 wouldn’t women want inequality... “get the men, get em!”
Oh shut up!
Yes, Covid 19 is a misoginist. It clearly favours men. We should demonstrate for the virus not do discriminate against women. Wgere is the death equality? (Sarcasm! Obviously)
And off we go with the identity politics again, you know, that brought us this whole mess in the first place!
Of course it is. Send money.
What a steamy pile of bullshit.
66% of fatalities are men but it's women who are suffering...
Nobody gives a rats f what the UN has to say on any issue.
The UN keeps begging to be defunded. We should oblige.
The feminist network with their feminist cherry picking.
It didn't take long for the activists in the MSM to start their divisive rhetoric again. That and climate cultists just can't give us a break even during a pandemic.
CTV is so predictable. Yesterday Pope sez CCPvirus caused by Global Warming. Today UN sez CCPvirus is Sexist. Tomorrow corrupt CTV will find some other mangy Globalist to tell us CCPvirus is Racist. CTV has to learn to keep up with the likes of Buzzfeed and Vice.
You do realize that far more men than women are dying from Covid-19, right? Maybe you could talk about that gender inequality, but no, that wouldn't fit your biased agenda 'news'
Who gives a rats ass what the crooked UN thinks

One-in-six Albertans could contract COVID-19, new projections showKenney will speak at 6 p.m. on 'what could be some very challenging numbers' in terms of the damage the virus could still do, he said Monday. Is he nuts. I think he’s lost his mind. Way to put more fear into people who are already suffering for anxiety and about to go insane. Mental health is going to be bigger challenge then the coronavirus. Or.... 5 out of 6 won’t get it 😃 All these groups making bullshit predictions that are proven to be way off should have to pay a fine. The amount of unnecessary panic and stress, lost stock value, small business loss etc. will be through the roof.
