United Nations Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed, has lamented that there seemed to be no easy road ahead to the recovery from COVID-19 pandemic.
“This year has brought its own challenges, with deepening crises in Afghanistan and Ethiopia, and famine looming in many parts of the world.” “For example, during the pandemic, Somalia experienced a resurgence of female genital mutilation. In the Sahel, the pandemic, coupled with conflict, drought and severe climate events, caused spikes in early marriage, intimate partner violence and sexual violence.
“Second, we must ensure women are engaged in humanitarian decision-making. We must bring women’s organisations and leaders to the table. “Many countries, such as in the Sahel and the Horn of Africa, are strengthening collaboration by working towards collective outcomes that are specific to the context. The UN Joint Steering Committee is actively supporting this work.
