Women and girls face greater dangers during the COVID-19 pandemic

As the COVID-19 pandemic pushes health systems to the brink in countries around the world, women and girls are among those at greatest risk. Essential sexual and reproductive health services have been reduced or cut, threatening sharp rises in maternal and neonatal mortality. Women and girls are often denied care outright or face dangerous delays getting the services they need. The impacts of misguided policies and barriers to care are especially severe in many of the places where Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) works. Learn how we’re adapting our projects to ensure that women and girls are able to get access to health care during the COVID-19 pandemic—and beyond. Read more.
