<sup>In the Asia Pacific vulnerable and marginalised groups especially poor women and girls, gender and ethnic minorities, women and girls with disabilities the crisis has deepened pre-existing inequalities, and the fallouts have been severe. Thousands of women and girls have lost livelihoods and are unable to meet essential needs such as food, health care and personal protective equipment. They also need specific and long-term support to return to the workforce.

During the Pandemic women who are daily wage earners, small business owners and working informal jobs have lost ground in large numbers during the pandemic. A recent report by the Center for Sustainable Employment at Azim Premji University in India found that during the first lockdown in 2020, 61 per cent of working men remained employed and 7 per cent lost employment. Yet only 19 per cent of working women kept their jobs and 47 per cent suffered a permanent job loss, not returning to work even by the end of the year.</sup>
