Women leaders in New Zealand, Germany and elsewhere have set a standard for coping with COVID while strongmen in other countries balk at basic steps such as wearing masks. In addition, women scientists have published fewer papers than their male peers as they shoulder extra household burdens, domestic violence victims, who are mostly women are forced to shelter with their abusers and women make up the majority frontline health workers. In ways big and small, COVID has uncovered disparities that illustrate how much more we must do to achieve gender equality as envisioned under the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 5. What role can men play in redefining gender stereotypes and reducing gender disparities? What changes are needed and what might be possible as COVID forces us to address these gender disparities? How can we redefine masculinity in the time of COVID-19 and help redefine gender stereotypes? Join the Aspen Global Innovators Group Thursday, August 27th at 11am ET to hear from New Voices Fellow Harish Sadani Co-Founder and Chief Functionary, Men Against Violence and Abuse (MAVA) and Rachel Jones a contributor for National Geographic Magazine, a Development Media Consultant and a two-time Top 10 Media Writer on LinkedIn.
