Gender-responsive Frameworks needed in COVID-19 policies

According to statistics from the latest Labour Force Survey, Malaysia is witnessing a spike in people leaving the labour force due to unpaid care obligations. Can integrating a gender-responsive framework into our COVID-19 policies prevent us from setting back gains in gender equality progress? We discuss this and more with the Women's Aid Organisation.
