SUMMARY:Africa and COVID-19 Webinar Series: The Impact on Women
DESCRIPTION:<p>	<drupal-media data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="ad57c6db-3c5b-4350-a0d7-aa08afca0f71" alt="Webinar Poster" data-view-mode="hwp_medium"></drupal-media></p><p>	December 2nd - The Impact on Women</p><p>	Women have been disproportionately impacted by the impact of COVID-19 on healthcare and the economy. Facing the dual burden of an economic crisis and a healthcare crisis, women face increased expectations and demands as caregivers, diminished wages from government-imposed lockdown measures, and threats of gender-based violence. Women likewise are on the front lines of the COVID-19 response, from serving in roles as community health workers to contact tracers to leading government and regional response efforts. The panel will explore the impact of COVID-19 on women and the societal and government response.</p><p>	 </p><p>	<strong>Register for the webinar:</strong> https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Cy_a3e4tR1KuEjK6TDUm4g</p><p>	<strong>This webinar will be livestreamed on Facebook:</strong><br><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.facebook.com_HarvardAfricanStudies_live-5Fvideos_&amp;d=DwMFaQ&amp;c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&amp;r=CMQcXc7TsESFtLssb1xDWTOq2MUFzosRjeCRPe6U03Y&amp;m=K1bEc3EntouOlIwpscqMW_o_y7lHf1b2nYPlLQ3nhmo&amp;s=XpaguJS8cLfcLNtRIRdY2urpA7EcQjdhTujkjkTZuKg&amp;e=" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/HarvardAfricanStudies/live_videos/</a></p><p>	 </p><p>	<u><strong>Speakers:</strong></u></p><ul>	<li>		<strong>Dr. Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka</strong>, United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director, UN Women	</li>	<li>		<strong>Dr. Marleen Temmerman</strong>, Head of the Centre of Excellence in Women and Child Health, Aga Khan University	</li>	<li>		<strong>Ms. Kosi Antwiwaa Yankey-Ayeh</strong>, Executive Director, National Board for Small Scale Industries (NBSSI)	</li>	<li>		Moderated by <strong>Professor Zoe Marks</strong>, Lecturer in Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School	</li></ul><p>	--</p><p>	The Harvard University Center for African Studies in partnership with the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) is hosting a series of webinars on the topic of COVID-19 and Africa.
