Abstract

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has led the world to an unprecedented health and emergency crisis. In this scenario, women in the North African and Middle East region have experienced an accentuation of the already existing gender gap. Rising inequalities have been observed in multiple areas such as economic, health or social. There has also been an exacerbation of issues such as gender-based violence, already known as “the shadow pandemic”. Despite the measures imposed by governments and those suggested by different International Organizations, the North African and Middle East region still needs to make progress in protecting women's human rights.
