COVID-19 has widened global gender gaps. UN Women, IFC and UN Global Compact, have partnered to showcase examples of good practices from a growing number of businesses in the Arab States that are taking gender-responsive action to ensure the economic inclusion and social well-being of their employees, customers and suppliers as well as local communities. As a regional companion piece to the global publication of UN Women and IFC ‘Bridging the Gap - Emerging Private Sector Response and Recovery Measures for Gender Equality amid COVID-19 (2020)’, this regional report aims to inform companies in the Arab region and around the world on practices and initiatives for supporting women leaders, employees, entrepreneurs and those in value chains to navigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
