Rural Women In The Times Of COVID-19
The overall load of work whether it is paid or unpaid has increased for rural women. In a rural household set-up where women are the household in-charge of cleaning, washing, cooking, parenting, and taking care of the elders and the husband it becomes all the more difficult to handle work and home in this pandemic situation.

50 Ways to Fight Bias is a free digital program to empower all employees to identify and challenge bias head-on. The program includes almost 100 instances of workplace bias, including the compounding biases women experience because of their race, sexual orientation, disability, or other aspects of their identity.
73% of women experience bias at work—yet less than a third of employees are able to recognize bias when they see it. Whether deliberate or unconscious, bias makes it harder for women to get hired and promoted and negatively impacts their day-to-day work experiences. This hurts women and makes it difficult for companies to level the playing field. Knowing that bias exists isn’t enough. We all need to take action to #BreakTheBias—on International Women’s Day and beyond.

Public services are very important for promoting gender equality and ensuring women can enjoy their human rights, especially young women from poor communities, such as those living in informal settlements or small-holder farmers. For example, access to clean water and sanitation, such as toilets and somewhere to wash, are essential to the rights to health and dignity. Women and girls are much more responsible for housework, collecting and preparing food and water, and caring for children and other family members (known as ‘unpaid care and domestic work’ or UCDW). Every day, such unpaid care work takes up a lot of women and girls’ time and energy.
