Women and girls face lifelong risks and inequalities, exacerbated during crises, that limit their access to social protection. This webinar explored how gender-responsive social protection can address these challenges and build resilience.

Drawing on research and case studies from Uganda and Haiti, panellists discussed the lived experiences of marginalised people and the impact of shock-responsive social protection on vulnerable groups. The session also examined how social protection systems can become more gender-transformative while adapting to local contexts.

This was the fourth webinar of the “Social Protection Approaches in Crisis Series” organised by STAAR and BASIC. The series aim to jointly explore how, why and when to use social protection approaches in contexts of crisis.
