Q&A: How COVID-19 response plans sideline women
['Irwin Loy']
IRIN - Nepal
The New Humanitarian: How have women’s rights been de-prioritised in humanitarian planning during the pandemic?
Shrestha: There’s always limited funding for women’s rights organisations, whether at a country level or from international donors and organisations.
The central government has medical priorities, but the local governments could provide relief support to women’s groups.
Shrestha: Women’s rights organisations have very limited access to the humanitarian cluster meetings with humanitarian agencies, donors, governments – very limited.
These are the minute details that women’s rights organisations look into, to understand the very important realities of these persons.
