The Social and Economic Impact of COVID-19 on Women and Girls in the MENA Region

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic affecting travel all around the world, Forward Global Women had to cancel their 2020 annual in-person convening. In lieu of this cancellation Forward Global Women put on an e-convening where experts presented an economic and social analysis of the impact that COVID-19 has had on women and girls in each of our MENA Region Country Teams.
