- Description
- Through the lens of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, this publication reviews the most-common measures that the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) participating states in Europe, North America and Asia have taken during the health crisis and identifies how restrictions to human rights have impacted women and girls in particular. Emergency measures have been employed in exigent circumstances, and decision-making has often not included consideration of the unintended consequences of the measures themselves. The rights of women and girls may be violated by emergency measures that have a discriminatory impact.
