1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,800
The fifth United Nations Sustainable Development Goal is to achieve gender equality and empower

2
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,440
all women and girls.

3
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:20,840
Women's equal participation in decision-making is critical for COVID-19 response and recovery,

4
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:28,720
but gender partiality remains far off.

5
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:45,800
Women represent only 26.6% in national parliaments, 36.3% in local government, and 28.2% in managerial

6
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:51,680
positions.

7
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:58,480
Violence against women persists at unacceptably high levels and has been intensified by the

8
00:00:58,480 --> 00:00:59,480
pandemic.

9
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:11,000
One in three women, or 736 million, have been subjected to physical and or sexual violence

10
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:17,960
at least once in their lifetime since the age of 15.

11
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:25,140
Up to 10 million girls will be at risk of child marriage over the next decade as a result

12
00:01:25,140 --> 00:01:31,960
of COVID-19, in addition to the 100 million who were projected to become child brides

13
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:39,520
before the pandemic.

14
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,880
Pandemic is adding to the burden of unpaid domestic and care work and squeezing women

15
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,840
out of the labor force.

16
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:57,400
Women already spend about 2.5 times as many hours as men on unpaid domestic and care work.
