Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, women and girls’ nutrition have been disproportionately affected by the secondary impact of the crisis, and a variety of societal factors make women and girls even more susceptible to malnutrition. Pandemic responses should adopt a greater focus on women and girls’ fundamental rights, by adopting a multisectoral approach that address the social determinants of nutrition. In this webinar, following the 74th World Health Assembly, RESULTS UK will launch the latest policy briefing Malnutrition is sexist, The determinants of nutrition for women and girls.
Nutrition International and RESULTS UK will also discuss the benefits of cross-cutting health and social nutrition interventions for ensuring good nutrition outcomes for women and girls, and advocate for strong evidence-based commitments at the next N4G Summit in December 2021.
