#WomenRiseAboveCOVID (Vince Rapisura)

“First, it is important that emergency relief is distributed to families and make sure that there’s enough food on the table. We are also wanting the government to have even more basic processes streamlined for low-income groups to get government identification documents. It is also high time, I think, to have a universal disaster insurance since the Philippines ranks high in the world risk index.” – Vince Rapisura, CEO & Chair, SEDPI 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
