#WomenRiseAboveCOVID (Rosalyn Mesina)

“As we all continue to assess the impact of COVID-19, we see that the burden falls heavier on women’s shoulders. Under the business operation side, it is estimated that 9 out of 10 businesses are MSMEs and the majority are women owned or led.” – Rosalyn Mesina, WeEmpowerAsia National Programme Manager, UN Women Philippines.Earlier 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
