"As the COVID-19 crisis unfolds, the lives of women and girls everywhere are changing.
While some spheres of work and personal life are on pause, others face increased strains and new challenges.
Millions of women worldwide are part of the essential workforce on the front lines of COVID-19.
Globally, women make up the majority of workers in the health and social sector.
Nearly one in three women work in agriculture, and women do three times as much unpaid care work at home as men.
From farming to first-response services and everything in between, women are playing an outsized role in keeping their communities safe and resilient in the face of COVID-19."
