In low-income families, women have faced far more vulnerabilities than men during the covid pandemic. These priority areas for intervention could form the backbone of a new resilience for them now and in future disasters, writes Gaurav Gupta.

The large and disproportionate impact of the pandemic on women has highlighted the importance of anticipating their distinct needs and challenges, especially in times of crisis.

While the government played a critical role in supporting women through large-scale welfare schemes, these did not sufficiently account for their needs and barriers. We need to address this gap - both in the existing government machinery, and through additional support systems to support recovery of women. We outline six priority areas to do this.
