Globally, women lost twice as many jobs as men, according to estimates from McKinsey. At the same time, the pandemic has put front and center issues around family care and unpaid work. "Women have been on the forefront of the response to the pandemic... and it's not just that we had suddenly realized that 70% of the health workers in the world are women, but also because women have had to stay at home. And by staying at home with men, we have seen patriarchy at its best, all the stereotypes, all what women are supposed to do and men are supposed to do, came into being questioned by staying at home together." --Dr. Nadine Gasman Zylbermann, President, National Institute for Women of Mexico Now, as governments contemplate plans to restore their economies, some are looking beyond stimulus packages at structural changes to address the systemic barriers that have allowed women’s participation in the economy to stagnate for decades.  Join Foreign Policy on June 28th to hear from the global thought leaders who are driving the post-COVID gender-intentional approach to rebuilding the global economy.
