We know that girls and women – particularly among the poorest and socially marginalised groups – are the most affected by the ongoing pandemic. We need to work together as a partnership to make sure that girls at risk of child marriage and married girls are at the centre of the COVID-19 response and recovery efforts.
This week, we’re finishing the series with our top recommended resources, showcasing research into the effects of COVID-19 on the causes and consequences of child marriage and programmatic responses that can help mitigate these impacts. The resources are grouped under the themes of sexual and reproductive health and rights, girls’ education, humanitarian settings, economic impacts and fundraising. The resources provide practical recommendations and examples of successful responses that could help with your ongoing work.
We salute and congratulate all our members for being adaptive, responsive and supportive of girls under such challenging circumstances. Together, we will adapt to these new realities and share our learnings across countries and continents.
This technical brief outlines how the outbreak affects women and men differently. It highlights the importance of maintaining access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services throughout the crisis, and provides gender-sensitive recommendations for protecting SRH rights. It’s available in eight languages.
This statement outlines the implications of the crisis for the SRH sector, and lays out the measures needed to mitigate against them. It suggests that SRH services should be an integral part of any response to the crisis. Available in English, French, Spanish and Arabic.
Marie Stopes International calls on governments to recognise contraception and safe abortion as essential services in times of crisis. It urges governments to reduce barriers by allowing women to access safe abortion and contraception remotely via telemedicine. Their stories from the frontline share the challenges that programme staff are currently experiencing in different regions.
Produced together by Malala Fund, Plan International, UNESCO, UNGEI and UNICEF, this report aims to help policymakers in ministries of education to address the gender dimensions of school closures during COVID-19. It provides recommendations to ensure continuity of learning and establish comprehensive and evidence-based plans for reopening schools in a way that meets the needs of the most marginalised girls.
This campaign white paper gives an overview of the impact of COVID-19 on education and proposes seven action areas to help guide the global community to avert an “education catastrophe.” Save Our Future is a global coalition of diverse voices (including Girls Not Brides) uniting to deliver a simple, powerful message amidst the crisis.
In this report, Malala Fund use insights from the Ebola epidemic and the 2008 global financial crisis to understand the short- and long-term consequences of COVID-19 for girls. They suggest how governmnets and international institutions can mitigate these effects and support girls in returning to school, including keeping them learning, considering gender in school reopenings and ensuring adequate funding for education after the crisis.
This brief offers guidance for non-GBV specialist actors working in humanitarian contexts to identify COVID-19 and GBV-specific risks in their sectors, and to take actions to mitigate those risks.

Available Arabic, English, French and Spanish.
