‘People still think women cannot lead. You really need to fund more of these projects that talk about women’s empowerment to allow us to realise, to allow the world to realise, that if a woman is empowered, the whole family is empowered.’ Meet COVID-19's front line 'sheros' in this article and these videos produced by UN Women, calling for their stories to be heard and supported in their communities during the crisis.
‘Around the world, women play critical roles as first responders and leaders when humanitarian crisis occurs. They change and save lives in the hardest to reach places. Yet, their work is consistently under-funded and often unrecognized. As COVID-19 continues to ravage communities, the need to support women and women’s organizations in humanitarian action has become urgent. Through participatory videos, women in Bangladesh, Colombia, Jordan and Uganda share their perspectives.’ #mustbeherchoice #endchildmarriage
