Claudy Vouhé shared GRB in local authorities (French)
Gender-Responsive Budgeting (GRB) shows that the development of a budget and budgetary choices are powerful levers in terms of gender equality. We share our lessons learned in the field: a 5-step method, concrete examples (culture, sport, subsidies, public procurement, etc.) and keys to success. An operational work to objectify the impact of public policies and budgets and make RHL accessible.
Anuradha Kapoor Shared Swayam Recent Published Study
This exploratory study foregrounds the largely invisible issue of natal family violence (NFV) in India, exploring its forms, prevalence, and deep, long-term impacts on women's lives. It challenges the myth of the natal home as a safe space and centres survivor voices and lived experiences. The findings expose systemic silences and institutional barriers to justice. It offers vital insights for policy reform, feminist praxis, and deeper societal reflection.

Tara Prasad Gnyawali - Narrative
My flashback to working with wildlife-affected communities living in a biological transboundary corridor in Bardiya, Nepal, where I spent my golden 15 years. This story reflects changes that demonstrate how a community's tolerance extends to coexistence, and that is only due to the well-integrated planning of Ecotourism opportunities for the community.

Launch of Sex, Gender and COVID-19 Health Policy Portal
On the occasion of World Health Day today, Global Health 50/50, the African Population and Health Research Center and the International Center for Research on Women launched the Sex, Gender and COVID-19 Health Policy Portal. The portal provides the most comprehensive review of the integration of sex and gender into national COVID-19 public health policies globally.
We are pleased to have the opportunity to share the findings and resources of the Policy Portal, which collates and reviews more than 400 national COVID-19 health policy extracts from 76 countries. We are concerned, however, by our finding that 91% of COVID-19 health policies reviewed are gender blind.
In South and Southeast Asia, we reviewed eight countries which had at least one COVID-19 health policy. The total policy reviewed across these eight countries were 52, out of which only 12 policies were found to be gender responsive while 77% are gender blind though better than global findings.
The review of India’s publicly available policies reveals the following:
India stands among the four countries out of the 76 countries reviewed, to have at least three gender-responsive policies across the six policy areas. The other three are Bangladesh, Canada, and South Sudan. In terms of the caseload, India stands at third position in the world but has been performing extensively in vaccinations. Of the total 11 policies available publicly, 3 policies are gender sensitive. While this is a great starting point, there is still a lot to achieve to make recovery from the pandemic equitable.
Across the policy areas reviewed, evidence from past pandemics suggests that taking gender and intersecting characteristics such as age, disability, ethnicity, pregnancy and sexual orientation into account when designing and delivering interventions to address COVID-19, may improve health outcomes for everyone. Yet, the Sex, Gender and COVID-19 Health Policy Portal reveals a pervasive gender-blindness that spans policy areas, geographical regions and country income levels.
We encourage you to explore the Policy Portal’s global index, country profiles and policy area-specific pages to compare policy approaches and to promote knowledge sharing.
You can explore the findings through a global index, findings by policy area, and findings per country on the Sex, Gender and COVID-19 site: https://globalhealth5050.org/covid-policy-portal
We hope you will find the portal useful for work on gender and COVID-19, and please do not hesitate to be in touch with any questions.
