RESISTIRÉ

The aim of RESISTIRÉ was to 1) understand the impact of COVID-19 policy responses on behavioural, social and economic inequalities on the basis of a conceptual gender+ framework, and 2) design, devise and pilot policy solutions and social innovations to be deployed by policymakers, stakeholders and actors in different policy domains.

The project ended in September 2023 after 30 months of research activities, having published multiple research reports, scientific publications and research agendas to foster a fairer social recovery.

RESISTIRÉ has also produced a set of factsheets to support policymakers, advisers, employers, and civil society organisations in understanding the effects of Covid-19 policy responses on gender equality, and to suggest practical recommendations to mitigate these effects:
