The coronavirus outbreak has had a huge impact on all our lives. Yet, so far women and girls have been largely invisible from the debate and excluded from the decision making.

Fawcett is working in partnership with other feminist organisations, academic experts and with you to ensure that women are included and not left behind or ignored.

We've been conducting vital research on the impacts of coronavirus on women. Read on for more information about our work.
