Session 6 The challenges -The Global Reset -The Gender Perspective

What does it mean -do we want a recovery or a complete reset ?

According to Malala- we need to do everything rantine, some of us lost important moments in our lives that we can never recreate – graduations, holidays, meeting a newborn grandchild. Some lost so much more, from jobs to loved ones.

'Yet I don’t want to return to “normal.” I believe this crisis has offered our world a chance to change for the better.I don’t want to return to a world of accelerating climate change or racial injustice. I don’t want us to resume our lives while we continue to ignore discrimination and violence against religious and ethnic minorities. I don’t want us to finally leave our homes and neglect more than 70 million refugees, forced by conflict or persecution to leave their own.We know that the pandemic has only exacerbated many of the problems women and girls faced before this health crisis. Before COVID-19, 129 million girls were out of school around the world; Malala Fund’s research estimates that 20 million more girls might never return to the classroom after the pandemic.
