34% : In the European Union, the ongoing cost of living crisis has added another layer to the negative effects of the pandemic on gender inequality.
33% : According to a report by United Nations Women, Global Gendered Impacts of the Ukraine Crisis, it has aggravated food insecurity in developing countries (already more severe for women than men), and has exposed women to increased health risks due to the energy crisis.
