Women and girls’ priorities must be central to crisis response, and the best way to make this happen is to have them lead efforts to prevent and respond.

The paper urges the UK government to:

  • Maintain the 0.7% commitment to UK Aid, and increase support for women’s leadership and rights, including women’s rights organisations responding to crises
  • Ensure diverse women’s leadership and priorities shape the G7 agenda on recovery from COVID-19
  • Make gender justice and women’s leadership central to the COP26 agenda.
