For women around the globe, the second year of the Covid-19 pandemic brought more health challenges than the first
.
In 2020, the medical technology company Hologic launched a global survey in partnership with Gallup to assess how well women's health needs were being met. Countries were scored based on women's responses to questions in five categories: general health, preventative care, mental health, safety and basic needs like food and shelter. The overall score for the Global Women's Health Index in 2021 was just 53 out of 100, one point lower than in 2020.
"It is critical that we rally now to invest in women and girls to reclaim and accelerate progress," Sima Bahous, executive director of UN Women, said of that report."The data show undeniable regressions in their lives made worse by the global crises -- in incomes, safety, education, and health. The longer we take to reverse this trend, the more it will cost us all." But there is some hope. "My hope is that we come out stronger from the pandemic," Stadler said.
