  • Description: Women and girls have been disproportionately hit by the secondary effects of COVID-19, with the pandemic threatening both their immediate food security and the long-term benefits of good nutrition, which are critical to their empowerment and equality. [...]malnutrition also has a huge impact on a woman’s employment prospects and earning potential. Children who are well-nourished are 33 per cent more likely to escape poverty as adults, while anaemia, a condition that overwhelmingly impacts women, reduces women’s physical and mental capacity to perform their work.
