How the pandemic is affecting women and the women who are making the difference

RESEP research associate, Tia Linda Zuze, recently wrote an opinion article that was published on the news site News24. The piece details the essential contributions of women who have been tackling the Covid pandemic in terms of research and policy. It also details the effects that the pandemic has had on the careers of women and especially women in STEM. The piece highlights the urgent need for policy to continue to remove barriers in the way of women’s progress. One of the most effective ways to do this, Zuze claims, is to have women in decision making positions.
