#WomenRiseAboveCOVID (Elizabeth Angsioco)

“Any initiative to help women must first determine women’s situation from the women’s point of view. Secondly, any intervention must be conscious of women’s vulnerabilities pre-COVID-19. The third is that we should be informed by how COVID-19 is changing or has changed women’s situations. Lastly, any intervention on women should address both the practical and strategic needs of women.” – Elizabeth Angsioco, Chairperson, Democratic Socialist Women of the PhilippinesEarlier this year, the EU-funded WeEmpowerAsia programme of UN Women co-organized a virtual conference titled “Economic Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Women” in cooperation with Oxfam to discuss the insights, prospects for recovery and resilience building during and post-COVID-19.To learn more, please visit: http://weempowerasia.org/#WeEmpowerAsia #WomenRiseAboveCOVID #COVID19
