Abstract

This chapter examines the capacity of states and stakeholders to respond to the realities of gender inequality that have been heightened during the pandemic. Given the pandemic’s uneven impacts and implications for women and LGBTQI+ migrants, I argue that these are more than merely negative outcomes for migrants, but that they indicate significant steps back in women’s rights and gender equality that will take targeted and purposeful action for recovery in a post-pandemic world. There have been some egregious steps back on gender equality during the pandemic. In this chapter, I outline these steps back and make the case that so as not to lose ground on SDG 5 of the 2030 Agenda and to ensure the protection of human rights of women, girls and LGBTQI+ migrants, post-pandemic recovery efforts must target the structural causes of gender inequality and their intersections with other inequities.
