Article summary

The Cabinet Office has published a policy paper with recommendations from the Gender Equality Advisory Council (GEAC) 2021 for Leaders of the G7 on how to build back better for women and girls and achieve gender equality. The policy paper emphasised the disproportionate impact that the coronavirus (COVID-19) has had on women and girls and urged the government to act quickly to prevent further inequality. The policy paper has focused on three core themes—girls’ education and participation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, eradicating violence against women and girls and women’s empowerment.
