Policy Brief: The Impact of Covid-19 on Women Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) | United Nations (UN) The year 2020, marking the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action, was intended to be ground-breaking for gender equality. Instead, with the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, even the limited gains made in the past decades are at risk of being rolled back. The pandemic is deepening pre-existing inequalities, exposing vulnerabilities in social, political and economic systems which are in turn amplifying the impacts of the pandemic.Across every sphere, from health to the economy, security to social protection, the impacts of COVID-19 are exacerbated for women and girls simply by virtue of their sex.This policy brief by the UN Secretary-General explores how women and girls’ lives are changing in the face of COVID-19, and outlines suggested priority measures to accompany both the immediate response and longer-term recovery efforts. 
Shared Responsibility, Global Solidarity: Responding to the Socio-Economic Impacts of COVID-19 Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: United Nations (UN) We are facing a global health crisis unlike any in the 75-year history of the United Nations — one that is killing people, spreading human suffering, and upending people’s lives. But this is much more than a health crisis. It is a human crisis. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is attacking societies at their core. The IMF has just reassessed the prospect for growth for 2020 and 2021, declaring that we have entered a recession – as bad as or worse than in 2009. The IMF projects recovery in 2021 only if the world succeeds in containing the virus and take the necessary economic measures.In the face of such an unprecedented situation in recent history, the creativity of the response must match the unique nature of the crisis – and the magnitude of the response must match its scale. No country will be able to exit this crisis alone.This report is a call to action, for the immediate health response required to suppress transmission of the virus to end the pandemic; and to tackle the many social and economic dimensions of this crisis. It is, above all, a call to focus on people – women, youth, low-wage workers, small and medium enterprises, the informal sector and on vulnerable groups who are already at risk. 
Our Common Agenda Policy Brief 10: Transforming Education Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: United Nations (UN) Building on the Transforming Education Summit and the report of the International Commission on the Futures of Education, this policy brief takes a closer look at the current crisis in education and proposes ideas and guiding actions for countries and the international community to transform education. The right to education and lifelong learning is an essential part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development because education, knowledge and learning are fundamental to human dignity, growth and development. For centuries, education has been the great equalizer, the driving force of nation-building and the engine of social, cultural, economic and technological progress. But today, beset by a dual crisis of equity and relevance, education as we know it is no longer fit for purpose.

El derecho a la educación y al aprendizaje permanente es una parte esencial de la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible porque la educación, el conocimiento y el aprendizaje son fundamentales para la dignidad, el crecimiento y el desarrollo de la persona. Durante siglos, la educación ha sido la gran igualadora, la fuerza motriz de la construcción nacional y el motor del progreso social, cultural, económico y tecnológico. Sin embargo, en la actualidad, acosada por una doble crisis de equidad y pertinencia, la educación tal y como la conocemos ya no es idónea.
