The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, despite the internationally diverse lived experiences, socio-political and economic contexts, put once more a spotlight on one common denominator around the world: the persistence of significant gender inequalities. The global pandemic revealed intensified gender inequalities around health and access to health care, distribution of care work, gainful employment and income, and the risks of being subjected to gender-based violence, just to mention a few dimensions of gender inequalities. An international body of evidence is expanding on the negative impact of gender inequalities on the wellbeing and prosperity of individuals and societies. At the same time, we observe how long fought-for women rights, such as the legal right to abortion (see e.g. USA) or the right to education (see e.g. Afghanistan) are put into question by deepening ideological and political rifts and with anti-gender rhetoric gaining popularity. Showcasing and discussing feminist perspectives on social policy and women’s social welfare worldwide is thus more topical than ever.
