Tracking the situation of children during the COVID-19 pandemic

To understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women and children, UNICEF has been tracking measures taken by governments to contain and mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic based on data taken from UNICEF country offices. This data solution has fostered understanding of the impact of the crisis on children’s and women’s lives, including assessment of disruption to gender-specific services – such as maternal health services, remote learning support for girls, gender socialization parenting programs – and the gender-responsiveness of government responses.
